Maxwell sat near enough to the Whomping Willow to be considered near it but not near enough to anger the old tree. He sat on the ground in one hand holding a stone and in the other his wand. He placed the stone down on the grass and said "Wingardium Leviosa!" and began moving the stone about making it float and gaining control over it's movements. it was on odd time for Maxwell he had broken up with Violet a few weeks back after his tlk with Taylor. 'What a day that was' Maxwell thought to himself and then came back to realize his stone had hit the ground.
