Aspen paused to listen to Mr. Stryker ask if everyone had a partner. SHE did, so she was set. Her thoughts wandered back to what Eino had shared with her.

Even though they would make them look silly, at least they would all look silly together. Last term, most people didn't want to admit to completing several of the assignments because some of them were embarrassing, to say the least. Eino then drew closer to Aspen and whispered. "I have heard that Lord Borr also has a particular interest in humiliating people, and a knack for it, too." He drew back and discreetly nodded towards the Groundskeeper. If he had to guess, the purpose was to humiliate the the poor man, but he was handling himself and class very well and most people seemed to be enjoying it, so the joke would be on the Minister.
So physical education, then. That made sense enough, the Ministry mandating outdoor activities. She would have gladly accepted Eino's word, but he went one step further and gave her more information. She turned her big blue eyes up to Eino, a mixture of awe and humor there. Aspen wasn't one to pass judgement on adults, but certainly would not so boldly accuse the Minister of Magic of purposefully humiliating Gamekeepers. Eino was bold.

Parts of her did wonder if it was true. Why would Eino make that up? But other parts made her wonder what Mr. Stryker really did to deserve it. Weren't MOST stories two sided?

"He doesn't seem too put out though," Aspen echoed Eino's thoughts. "And he got lots of the female professors to attend..." she dropped her gaze to her feet and smiled. Dancing savvy or not, the Gameskeeper seemed capable enough to her. "Probably to chaperone." Not for his own amusement. Griiiiiiin.
