It seemed like he was going to have to buy some more. "Not generally. Yes and sort of."

Could the kid keep up with his own questions to remember which answers went with which questions? He waved the packet. "They have what you would call scientists, or in this case, chemists who study these types of things. Reactions and the laws of the natural world and the like. I might have a textbook somewhere back home if you'd like to take a peruse through it."

Was it bad to encourage the kid? Surely not. Not if it was educational as well, right?

His smile faded from one of amusement to introspection as he watched the colors dance and change with each new packet thrown to the flames. A shrug rolled off his shoulder. "Don't take it personally. In those types of situations, no one ever has their heads screwed on right enough to form any sort of decent thought. It's just the way it is. Know that her still living and breathing is your thanks. And that's all the thanks any of us should need."

It was his turn to toss his packet into the fire, and he did so. Green flames sprouted, dancing about with gold flecks like some sort of St. Patrick's day celebration exploded in the fire pit. "As for your issue with your patronus, it's not supposed to come from the head. As cheesy as it might sound, it is supposed to come from the heart. Fill you up. Not just exist in here." He tapped a finger to the side of his temple. "Here is fragile and wavering. The heart is often strong and stubborn."

Did that help? He hoped so.

And as quickly as the weighted words were done, he was laughing again. "Well, would you rather do something difficult and accomplish it, or take the easy way out?" Did he really want to know the answer to that question? He wasn't sure. It was possible the boy's sentiment about any sort of physical labor was answer enough. "The more you train, the less you'll sweat. Your body will get used to it. As for hair? Your going to have to ask someone else." Airey, or the groundskeeper perhaps. "I'm really not good with it."

And then there was the flower boy comment. He had to press his lips tightly together to keep from sputtering out laughter. Dear Merlin, these kids. "Most commonly?" He shrugged a little, scratching his jaw. "It refers to a younger attendant in the wedding. Though usually it's flower 'girl'. Less commonly?" Now how to put this? He pressed a finger over his lips, considering for a moment. "It...might refer to your impeccable need to maintain the highest standard of hygiene."

That was....a fine way to put it, right? "Or maybe she just likes your cologne." Did the kid wear cologne? Was that even a wizarding thing?


“Ah…no thank you…” he answered and a slight blush formed on his cheeks as the Professor offered him a book he could read about the chemist subject. He didn’t enjoy reading unless it had to do with Charms or comic books, those were fun to read too. “It will probably just pick up dust in the trunk up at dormitory anyway..” at least he was honest about it right?

He watched as the flames turned a green color as the Professor threw in a package as well. Yoongi decided to stop throwing them in now or else he wouldn’t have any left for the common room. After hearing what he had to say about the whole rescuing situation he sighed heavily. “I know, I’m glad they’re all okay. Especially Adi and Penelope” the two people he had left in the entrance hall. He still didn’t have the courage to admit that he had been scared and that he had run away in fear, getting the Professor had popped in to his mind later. But the topic got him thinking of another question that he had forgotten about until now. “What’s a neck bottle or bottle neck?” which one was it? "Is it a tactic they teach Aurors? cause it sounded like it, really confusing though.....Sorry about all the questions” he laughed, scratching the back of his head. “I’m just curious”

The mind is fragile and wavering whereas the heart is often strong and stubborn. The Gryffindor looked away from the green fire and stared with a blank expression at the Professor. “Riiiiight…” he said after a long pause. “I did not get that at all but I guess it’s something to think over” what had that even meant?! He was sure it would click one day.

“Accomplish something using the easy way~!” he grinned, teeth flashing . Too bad they didn’t do the sparkly TING thing. As for the sweat problem, Yoongi rolled his eyes . Guess he had to just deal with it. If it was true that the longer he worked out the less he’ll sweat he’d try it. BUT THAT COMMENT ABOUT HAIR! The fifth year GASPED. “You doooon’t!?” he said and folded his arms over each other. His hair was his life and now the man was telling him he did not know how to keep the sweat away from his hair while training. "Well that's stupid" he mumbled. Maybe there was a spell for that? "By the way, speaking of hair, would red suit me?!" he asked, eyes wide and staring at him as if he was mentally saying 'say yes!'

And then his excitement dropped when the Professor told the meaning of Flower Boy. “WEDDING?!” that didn’t make sense at all! Why would an eleven year old be talking about weddings to him?! But then the less commonly thing made more sense and he visibly relaxed again. “It’s the latter” he said with a nod. He wasn’t afraid to admit he maintained a high standard of hygiene. The cologne part though? No. “I don’t wear cologne but I do wear body spray" he sniffed his arm. still gooood~
