The tree was a good sport too, never complaining no matter how many rocks she threw at it.

She wasn't sure it'd be something he was willing to play though. When the tree got you, it got you good. Lex didn't want him getting hurt. It would be her fault and she'd probably never hear the end of it.

Not thanks.

He had never thought of that. Not only did that sound like fun but it would be useful in helping with your reflexes. Oh Merlin, he was starting to think like his parents now.

"Yeah, but it still sounds like super fun." And really a game wasn't fun unless there was a hint of danger in it. "Can you take me with you sometime?"

SPOILER!!: Professor

She just needed the students to cooperate. She hadn't exactly planned for THIS to happen in the middle of her class...

...but then there were GRYFFINDORS, and they were DISRUPTING the progress, and they were...completely out of line.

Not to mention that the Gryffindor's pushover of a prefect didn't seem to mind that someone was piggy backing off him for their own personal gain. Too bad Kettleburn hadn't been made a Slytherin. She'd have been great there...

OOC: Nothing personal OOC, Syd.

"KETTLEBURN," she said, in that tone of voice that indicated she'd had enough. She raised her wand and flicked it in the direction of the first year and her loyal piggy back prefect. A storm cloud of dirt rose from the ground and erupted in a POOF just before the two Lions, giving an all new meaning to the term 'eat dust'. "Settle down, close your mouths, and you," she said, eyeing the prefect, "pay attention to the lesson and stop offering yourself up for someone else's personal gain."

OH, ...BURN!

Peyton inwardly clapped. Disruption or not, that was the perfect finale to the little show the Gryffindors had decided to put on today.

"Too bad she just took one for the team," Peyton replied. "Literally. Ten points from Gryffindor. Now act right and pay attention. All of you."

She eyed some of the Eagles, Badgers, and Snakes, too, just in case another ten or twenty needed to be slashed.

...but, NO ONE.

--------------------

So she relaxed her expression and even cracked a semi-smile as she said, "Right, right." All of you. Even Stark and his Captain Obvious of an answer. "There are many, many ways in which magical and non-magical creatures are alike. The one we'll be focusing on today, though, is how they both bring their young into the world."

She stepped to the side and gestured to the groundskeeper. "Mr. Firth's highland cow is about to give birth," she said. "I was meant to assist in the birth, but since it's going to happen right in the middle of our class, ...we're all going to assist." She looked from Firth to the students and back again. "Now, listen carefully as Mr. Firth tells you a little about the process. Pay attention, so you'll know what's going on later in the lesson."

Michael wanted to laugh so badly at Zahra getting into trouble and not only that, she was getting the Prefect in trouble as well. And to top it off, she lost points as well. He couldn't help it, he let out a little snicker, he didn't want the Professor taking points from him. He was going to pay out on Z about this for hours, maybe even days.

Making sure not to look at his BFF because he was likely to lose it, Michael instead focused on what the Professor was saying and almost immediately wished he hadn't.

They were going to watch a cow give birth?

He knew he should have stayed in bed this morning.

"When you say assist. What exactly does that mean?" Because unlike that kid over there who apparently wanted to catch it, Mikey did not want to be going anywhere near it.

It was one thing to ride a cow it was totally another thing to see it give birth.
