She'd hit him. She'd hit him right in the face. "Alec!" MEEP! "Did I hurt you?" The frown was immediate. You didn't just go around hitting people, especially boyfriend people. The blonde didn't even think as she moved so she could kiss his cheek. She'd just hit the guy so yeah, all thoughts of assignments were forgotten for a second. A kiss would fix things, yeah?

Good aim? Sigh. She was still frowning, y'know. "I'mstillsorry." Cause she was, really. She was happy they'd be working together, though. "Yeah, me too...but it'll good to know in case we use it during OWLs." Just saying.

The closeness was a bad idea. Very bad. Ella wasn't moving, though. The blonde turned to face the boy and smiled, nodding. "Not too hard at all." Poke. "Welcome."

"Yup, I got forty-five." Mhm. "I guess not too much." Though with Hogwarts being unplottable and everything, who knew. Ella double checked her calculations before watching her boyfriend give it a go.
BLINK. "Ells?" ... Did she hurt him? See, good question. There was a part of him that wanted to say that it didn't hurt and he was as strong as Superman not really but... there was another part of him that wanted to say that it did hurt and ask her for kisses. Which, she did end up giving to him. He grinned sheepishly and touched the spot on his cheek where she had kissed him gingerly. "Well, I..." He needed an answer! "It didn't hurt that much but that was nice!" Honest.

Also, why the frowny face? "Hey, it's okay!" he said, nudging her gently, "And please don't frown." And... there was that word again. OWLs. Shudder. "Yeah, you're right! Do you think it could come up, though?"

No. Really. She had to realise how close she was and the effects this was having on him. It was the same with the lip biting and the hair thing. He was sure Ells did this on purpose. So he just grinned sheepishly back at her before poking her back. Two can play at this game!

Okay... he could use this sextant object and find the latitude. He set up the sextant and put his eye to it, looking out towards the horizon. He pressed down on the clamp and adjusted things so that Polaris matched up with the horizon. There! He released his hold on the clamp and tilted his head to look down at the measurement. 41 degrees?

Quote:
Latitude = 90 degrees - sextant angle
Latitude = 90 - 41
Latitude = 49
"45 isn't bad at all..." he said, looking up from his notes, "I... got 49 for the latitude!" Which wasn't too bad, yeah? Because of the magical interference thing.
