Erm...not that she planned to conveniently lose her grip to try it out. Nope. What gave anyone that bizarrely accurate idea...?
It looked so fun...She wanted to try it. O___O ...
"No." she stated, looking over to Alexa, hoping the thought of it being okay to lose her grip on the wall being alright would disperse. "It's just here to stop a fall, for precaution." Ahem. Yesitwasbouncy.
What? Quote:

Then there was nothing for it but to heave upwards with the other one, crossing her foot under the first leg and planting it. Sure, she was sort of becoming sideways, but it was all a part of the learning process. Then she moved the first foot higher again, since obviously she had to uncross her legs, and suddenly her feet where somehow higher than her hands. She tried to shake one of her braids out of her face, grumbling to herself, "Well this doesn't seem right." Mostly everyone was doing alright with this, which Medea was excited about. Except...
Oops. "Miss Baxter...best turn yourself forward." Crawling back down the wall, her feet touched the ground while she pulled her hands away, standing right next to the sideways Ravenclaw. In-case a little help was needed. "Almost like climbing a ladder." Quote:

As she walked over to the box to put on her gloves and shoes, she waited for the professor to have a free moment. These shoes sure are...interesting, she thought as she wiggled each toe into place. Once those were on, she stood straight and tugged on the gloves. Oh, I should probably drink the potion first, duh! She slipped them back off and walked over to the table to take a drink. The color was a bit off-putting and the reactions from the other students told her it would be anything but enjoyable. Down the hatch! She looked past her palette and gulped the unpleasant potion down. "Eeck," she muttered as she set her empty cup back down. She turned to Medea while she put her gloves on for the second time and asked her about the spider. "Professor, did you make that spider? I mean, put all the parts together and everything? It's really neat!" She really admired it. Sure, it wasn't as cuddly as a kitten would be, but it was so unique. Talk of her spider had her glancing back to the boxes...only to see it missing now. Where had that pesky thing gone? "Yes, thank you, Miss Dawnsel." she smiled to the Ravenclaw girl and then looking to see how everyone was doing.
This...
Was the strangest sight...
Ever.
But totally worth it in her opinion. Oh look, her mechanical spider decided to climb the wall with the students. "Well done. Looks like you're getting the hang of it." she nodded approvingly. Counting how many students decided to sit it out, Medea took a deep breath before continuing on. "Keep climbing if you aren't to the top yet and as you do so..."
"Can anyone tell me something they know about grindylows?"
