SPOILER!!: Zeke

Glendower having the right idea didn't sit well with him, it hadn't done him any favours. "I could never learn like that, I felt as though most of it was improvisation, but the thing I've noticed is that we're not really taught the purpose of the lessons, how we're supposed to apply the knowledge... and even that seems a bit thin." The books, the books helped with that... but again, not the application of the understandings. "I dunno, I'm just... trying to get through it."

Stabbing some more salad onto the end of his fork, he raised it to his mouth and devoured it - all the while watching Janelle and her spaghetti. He was glad to hear she was well, but he couldn't help but chuckle a little. "But the trouble is where the fun is at," he asserted, hazel eyes locked on her. Keeping out of trouble was surely boring, safe, but boring. It was by no means a criticism of her though, but he was tempted to perhaps drag her into a little trouble. Something minor...

But how were things? Zeke nodded, "Yeah, good, great actually." He had no complaints. Classes were going well, training was going well, he was successful with his duels, things with Maggie were great. No complaints.

And then laughter ensued.

Zeke grinned, amused with her laughter, so much so that she had his full attention, his rabbit food forgotten. She didn't need to apologise, but he DID want to know what was so funny. Somehow though, he didn't expect it to be him. "Oh, that," he mused, getting an idea.

Without a seconds hesitation, Zeke climbed onto the bench and then onto the table, side stepping the plates and going for a baked potato. Circle it was hot. With the potato in his hand, and two eye-holes poked into it, Zeke mock-fixed his 'suit' by pulling down at his sweater and smoothing down the edges, he then marched a couple of paces past Janelle, his voice taking on a similar flamboyance to their Astronomy Professor. "And the celestial bodies of asteroids and meteors will one day shower down upon us, and pebbles here will be reunited with her alien rock family!"

...

Actually. Whoops. Zeke suddenly paused, remembering where he was and looking to the staff dais before scooting off the table and sliding back to sit beside Janelle. Heh.

Hi.

Boy, Zeke really didn't like History of Magic. "Everybody has their own style of learning, I guess. You've just got to find what works for you and go with it." Then Janelle thought for a moment. "I guess with history, you apply it by learning from what happened in the past. Use the things that worked and avoid the mistakes that were made. Don't repeat the stupid stuff." Know where you've been to determine where you're going, that's what Janelle always heard.

Trouble. Trouble was fun? Yeah it probably was. Janelle gave Zeke a conspriatoral look. It would be fun to get into a little trouble every now and then. She was about to say as much, when reality hit. Janelle was not lacking in the spunk department. She enjoyed having fun just as much as the next kid.........but.........she was a Ravenclaw and that meant she wasn't stupid. She knew that if she got into trouble, she would have to face the wrath of Russell Guidry and that would not be good. Who was she kidding, she was a rule follower through and through. "If you say so. I'll take your word for it."

Just about recovered from her fit of laughter, more hilarity followed. Janelle was completely caught off guard when Zeke jumped onto the table and did a reprise of his Professor Flamsteed impersonation. At first, she was startled and afraid that he would get into major trouble for his act. However, when he held up the baked potato Pebbles, Janelle lost it. She was laughing so hard that she couldn't breathe. Gasping for breath, she said, "Zeke......... you.......are........crazy! Pebbles........and her........family. " That was hilarious. Janelle followed Zeke's eyes to the staff table, hoping against hope that Flamsteed was not there. Thankfully, he got down and took his seat again. Regaining her composure, Janelle whispered, "You're right, being bad can be fun." She just hoped that there were no consequences for his impromptu show.
