Finally somebody seemed to be as excited as she was about this whole bungee jumping thing. "Heck yeah. I can't wait. I'm pretty sure it's going to be epic." How could it not be?


Waved away by Kevin, Zeke shrugged and beamed at AJ. "It will be, I mean, I didn't think this stuff even happened at Hogwarts." How many other people got to say they bungee'd out of Gryffindor tower? Let alone... ANY tower? Yeah, none - until now. Right? Or had this ACTUALLY been done before? In which case, why were THEY only doing it now? He'd have loved this as a WELCOME TO GRYFFINDOR last year too.

SPOILER!!: Amur

His words caused her to jump a little in surprise, heat rushing to her cheeks.

Of course someone was bound to see her, she hadn't been very discrete after all, but for some reason she hadn't considered that someone would. Cautiously, she eyed the boy, trying to discern if he was mocking, challenging or honestly inquiring. She knew boys who thought that girls couldn't match them in many things: running, sports, strength, eating and sleeping. She also knew that she could prove a few of them wrong on a select few of those accounts, notably the later ones. Was this boy one of those types of boys? Was it a challenge?

Seeing no glint in his eye, but rather a steadfast concentration on his own frog package, Amur concluded that curiosity must have been his motivator. She shook her head. "No. They're for later. They're my arsenal."

Rather proud of the fact, she patted her arm to make sure the frogs would stay in place before poking a thumb over her shoulder at the Prefects and the house elf. Zander still seemed to be notably perturbed, but PP seemed to have come to the same conclusion as she herself had. "Chocolate frogs, or any chocolate really, is a great peacekeeper and tension-smoother. If used right, it has the potential to solve problems before they even become problems."

Did he get it?

She had turned to face him, to see if he had reached full comprehension or not, when she found that strange, fascinating and terrifying man staring at her. Her eyes went as wide as saucers, her hand pausing right in the middle of pulling one last frog from the bowl. Had he seen her? At the table? Stuffing frogs up her sleeves?

Was that what that salute and smile meant? Was she in for it? She should have known better! After all, the cookie incident had nearly gotten her in trouble with Tippin.

Inching her way over to the boy, Amur squeaked between him and the table, as the Professor hiding herself behind him like a squirrel trying to hide on the opposite side of a tree from a predator. There was enough room between the boy's arm and his side to peek out from to check if the Professor was still watching her, and check she did.


HA! Caught out! She totally looked guilty. SOOOOO guilty. Zeke was amused, but he really didn't care, because he had a frog, and that was all that mattered. He wasn't sure what to expect where the small girls reply was concerned, but what she did say surprised him. Arsenal? WHAT?... Was she LEGIT going to create an ARMY of LEAPING chocolate frogs? What war could you win with that? They only had one good jump in them to begin with. Geeeeez. Girl was ambitious, but clearly not Snake enough.

His blank look was soon replaced with one of appreciative understanding, his lips pushed out and downturned as he nod - impressed. "Clever," he stated the obvious, so the Slytherin he saw in her was actually Ravenclaw, fascinating. "It seems such a waste though, not eating it yourself," he shrugged. That was the extent of his logic, he only hoped he didn't need to explain it to her, because she'd be sorely disappointed.

Very quickly though, he was distracted by the girl suddenly being close to his person... hiding from... .... his eyes trailed over to where she had been looking, AIREY! Was she scared of Professors? Surely not.

"He's really cool, and he'd like your idea of ... whatever it is that you said, so don't sweat it." But if she didn't mind, he wanted to eat his frog now, and a little more personal space would be nice, unless she WANTED to get hit in the face by a frog, packet, hand, elbow or other blunt instrument. Her choice. Ripping the thread through the bottom of the packet, the lid flipping up, Zeke shot his hand out to catch it as it spring-boarded up.
