If she were a muggle primary school teacher he’d get a gold star by his name. Yep. A good star for awesome. Wait no, a gold star for clawsome. Because Clawsome was one step above awesome…because you had to be a claw to be clawsome. “How was your summer? And the train…did you meet that ticket man?” she asked that tell tale gleam of emotion filled her eyes, it was something between embarrassment and anger, and then it all faded back to her eyes normal happy go lucky sheen.
Ticket taker? This got a head tilt in her general direction. "
No. Can't say I did... We have never had a ticket taker before." And with the state of thing around the school he found it hard to believe that they would take on another person to pay... Ridiculous.
"
My summer was great, though. We went to the beach and stuff. It was great." BEAMS. "
How was yours?"

Turning his attention back to the people around him, Benjy smiled. "Hi Ethan," he replied with a quick glance back to his cup to check Flipper wasn't sneaking off. "You survived the shopping then?" he added with a wink.
True. It was a theory. Though, it was a worrying one given that the elves made their food. "You think...we will still y'know, get fed?" He looked at the plate dubiously. "Cos if the Elves ARE on strike, who's cooking?"
He was a growing MAN. He needed nourishment!
"Hey!" Benjy replied, trying to place the girl's name. He frowned a bit, but honestly couldn't. Had she ever told him it?
Luckily, he was saved. There was food. "Given the plate situation...I might just save a couple for now, if you don't mind." If and when he saw food on that plate, he might be tempted to throw something.
Miiiiight.
"She didn't ruin your hair, did she?" Benjy replied teasingly. He might make light of it in public, but he knew Garrick and understood how his cousin was rather unimpressed by the action right now. Which was why it was soon followed with a frown in the female Prefect's direction, and a wrinkle of his nose. "Hope she doesn't think that's generally appropriate..."
Patting was for small kids.
"Hope you weren't stuck alone for too long waiting for me," Benjy said, giving his toad a small scowl. Not that the creature would have seen it, as he'd now managed to knock the cup over. "I have no idea how a thing of that size can move so quickly..."
Benjy looked at the paper plate doubtfully, before picking it up and turning it over. "It's like...foldable. How does this hold gravy, exactly?" He liked LASHINGS of gravy, and really didn't want his plate turning to mush and it all ending in his lap. "You reckon we can transfigure them?"
He mused over the plate a bit longer, stabbing it with the spoon-fork thing a few times to test out it's durability. And then Garrick's nudge alerted him to something more interesting.
"Test what out, exactly?" This sounded CURIOUS. And that could only mean one thing...FUN PLANS.
Garrick watched the toad for a long minute before turning to smile at his cousin. "
My hair is always perfect... Not even a moron patting me could mess it up" HMPH.
"
I certainly hope she doesn't find it to be appropriate behaviour. I am not keen on being treated like a child by someone one year older than myself." Not. Cool.
FIDGET. "
Nahhh. I wasn't alone per say. Lotus found me." He squirmed a little bit and looked toward the Hufflepuff table once again. Heh. And the TOAD. Hehehe. "
He's always been able to move faster than you can pay attention to him, Ben."
And back to Transfiguration talk. "
Well I am sure we COULD. Or I could at least. I am better at Transfiguration than you are." Might have been a challenge, that. "
Oooh the Sticky Trainers. We should all try them. But we'll have to make sure there are no fun suckers around." There may have been a pointed look directed at a certain girl... Miiiiiight.

"
One can tell if dishes have been cleaned... and clothes..." Was this kid simple or something? Garrick was suddenly disinterested in him. Be gone.

She tilted her head to the side, she didn’t consider younger years that cant transfigure the plates “Oh...” well to be honest, her skill aint that much better either.
Garrick blinked a few times at the girl with the weird hair. "
Even smelling things can make you sick." Where was the crazy crop of Ravenclaws coming from? Merlin.
"
Would you like me to Transfigure your plate for you?" he asked with a beaming Ogden smile in place. He was guessing she would like something she could see herself in. Most girls liked to look at themselves anyway...

One minute they're mad, the next they're buddies. Weird. She tried to watch them without letting them know she was. They probably already thought she was a top ten weirdo, so she didn't want to make it worse. Well, at least they seem like everything's fine. Not my business anyway I suppose, she thought and turned her eyes away from them.
Garrick felt someone staring at him...
Turning around he looked at... the one from the train. The barger. The one who probably thought Garrick was some crazy violent thing. SIGHS.
Giving her a small smile he nodded in her direction. She would have to see for herself that family could fight and be okay...

He glanced over to Benjy with dawning realization when Garrick nudged him. "Oh.. I didn't realize you two were related.. Good to know," he grinned. So the three of them could walk the walls now. He wondered if anyone else in their house could as well.
Smiling brightly at Ethan he nodded his head. "
Yep. Cousins. We have always been around one another, though. More like siblings." He liked Benjy more than his own brother anyway. Heh.
"
And like I said, we'll do some fun stuff. As long as we can do so without interruption." Yeah, Beezus, that was kind of directed at you. She seemed to be WAY too wound up and hell bent on making everyone miserable. HMPH.
