"Isn't learning a new language always difficult?'' questioned Adi. "One time I tried at Spanish. I gave up learning it after a few nouns and counting to ten.'' He laughed, thinking back to his pre teen years. "I got to counting further along in French but I abandoned that too. I know Hindi a little but that's only because my mom speaks it and I watch the movies and listen to a ton of music in that language.''

Jackson mentioning that he hoped the Groundskeeper would return made Adi think about the constant change of persons they had had over the years. "It's like with the DADA Professors back in the days when Harry Potter was in school, isn't it?'' he mused to the other two. "Maybe the Groundskeeping job is jinxed.'' The Puffer looked at Quigley again, the man with nothing in his teeth. "I wonder what messed with him.'' The Charms man seemed to think it was something minor yet Scott thought otherwise.

A dozen apples in one day? Man, did Quigley have an addiction! "When did you realise you like apples soooo much, Professor? It's like my obsession with sugar. Do you have apple trees at home?'' He was curious but Adi grinned now. "I thought for a moment you had a chunk of apple stuck in your teeth just now.'' You know, when he was examining them.
