As the seventh year waited for his turn again allowing the younger girl to ask for help, he tried not to chuckle at the banter between the two adults finally stepping forward once again to speak.
"Not so much you helping me but me helping you," Simon said at first before realizing she might not understand so he started again. "What I mean is my class load isn't too heavy being a seventh year and I already planned on spending quite a bit of time in the library to study for NEWT's which may or may not even take place. So I figured I'd ask if you would be interested in some help occasionally."
Kimber considered the question for all of maybe a whole nanosecond when she nodded her head excitedly at Simon and said,
"Heck yes, Simon! I was hoping someone would be willing to help this term." She didn't say WHY the news came as such a relief but it was clear she was planning on being more busy this year.
"You can start right now if you'd like." Surely he would, right? That WAS why he was here.

"I heard that," he said LOUDLY, looking through her papers now.
"Are you here to distract me or drive me crazy?" she asked, tilting her head to the side?
Just then she heard a muffled
SECRET sound coming from her office. Her eyes narrowed and her glare intensified.
"And now you've ruined the surprise!" she pouted, turning back towards Simon for his answer.

"Quick kids, tackle her! She must not be allowed to leave the library!" Chad jumped from her chair in a pretend-pounce. It turned out to just be a hug. Everyone needs hugs.
Madam Donovan was just about to correct Chad, to tell him she couldn't POSSIBLY have fun without him, *wink* when she was suddenly trapped inside his arms, unable to move.
"CHAD!" she shouted, breaking her own rule.
"You are SO asking to be thrown into the Lake right now." Quote:

Hearing the young girl's request, Kimber looked up at Chad and smiled pleadingly.
"See, Chad? I'm a very busy girl."
Realizing that he wasn't going to let her loose, she extended her wand hand towards the book and gave it a quick tap along it's spine.
"Due in three weeks," she said, forcing herself sideways to at least face whom she was speaking to.

When she got there, she spotted Mr. Stryker embracing her in a hug.
It took everything in Fallon's power not to giggle. "Um...excuse me." She said suppressing giggles. "I wanted to ask you a question Madam Donovan. I can come back later if you're busy though." She of course was referencing Mr. Stryker of course. Her giggles were threatening to burst out any moment.
"I'm never too busy," Kimber replied, giving Fallon an apologetic look.
"Ask away." Perhaps it was something easy and Simon could help.
