Yeah, there was no way in his entire life he was going to even think about attempting to figure out just how many students were actually part of this school. He'd be there for half his life just counting the teachers. Or maybe not! That would be pretty obvious, right? But then it may not have been completely obvious. He didn't see Lafay amongst all the students in the common room making it not so obvious. But counting students, he'd definitely be there half his life trying to count how many students were actually at the castle. He'd probably wind up counting some of them at least twenty times. Yeah, he really wasn't very good with names.
He continued throwing the bread into the water for the ducks watching as they kept picking the bread up out of the water and eating it. He had to be honest, ducks really were cute little creatures. But then so were swans. Not that there were any swans in this pond. But if their were, he'd probably be running for his life. The idea of a swan being able to break a bone just with it's wing frightened him. A lot!
He glanced over at the boy near him as he spoke. "Hey" he responded cheerfully. And for once, he wasn't cheerful from eating a lot of sugar. Though he had been eating a lot of sugary food before he came down to the pond. But he wasn't going to admit that to anybody. He nodded at the boy's question. "Yeah. It's peaceful down here and... Yeah, I got nothing else" he replied.
Zack dorped the whole cookie that was in his hand as one of the duck touched his beak to his hand.
OH! he yelled in surprise looking at the duck. "I am going to give you, you don't need to poke me" he said to the duck not knowing if the duck understood or not.
He took out some more cookies from the packet he had kept in his pocket of his robes. He held one and ate it feed the duck made him hungry too. He took and bite of one of the cookies and broke a few in small pieces and threw them in the pond for the ducks, now eating along with them. "So, like it?" he asked them as they took few pieces of the cookies at once in their mouth.
He didn't really care if the cookies got over he knew his mother would send some more without him asking. He still had a bundle of cookies wrapped in his pocket now, so he though of spending them all on the duck and few for him now. He looked at he boy who next to him as he spoke for the first time. He looked happy for some reason, maybe feeding the ducks made everyone happy he thought.
He smiled at the boy and replied "Yeah, i like it too here." he looked at the ducks one was about to come and poke him again, but before he could do so Zack dropped few pieces in the pond quickly and smiled. "I got nothing to do, but a little homework thought. I'm in second year, Gryffindor" he said an noticed he was wearing the gryffindor uniform so that was obvious he might have already noticed that too.
