It was brilliant and he was now looking at David Truebridge as if he was singularly the best person in the entire world, 'cause he gave him hope.

"Yeah...Sir Nicholas. Hopefully that keeps spreading. Dunno how when I was the first to throw anything but this is good--it's great, it's brilliant!" Relieved, the boy was decidedly relieved.

But then he said that and the grin that had only seconds ago risen was now slowly dying. Of course Blaise knew his friend loved school. It was one of those weird things about him but the boy could see. "I know. Might be a Ravenclaw thing, or so I've heard." More importantly, dragon fighting!!!! Blaise perked up instantly. "We HAVE to try that! Have to! We can make a little arena for them and everything, maybe charge people candy to watch." That would be cool but really he was all fixed on seeing the miniature terrors at work now.

As for working the quill (which he was beyoooond happy Davie liked), "That's the easy, fun part. You just...sorta have to make it understand your intentions and stuff. Try snapping your fingers to get it at attention or directly give it a command. Something like 'take this down'. It's usually VERY happy to comply. A finger snap is usually enough for mine these days." Especially when it had paper and parchment to...run wild....on...

What was that?

He hadn't seen anyone by the door but he did see the shadow make it's way behind it. "Yeah...First Years....bunch'a weirdos giggling around the corridors for no reason."

Hopefully that keeps spreading? Huh? "Wait, you threw food first?" Were David's ears tuned correctly, as his mum would ~~not so nicely~~ remind him sometimes? "Whyyyyy would you do that? I thought the food fight looked like an excuse to target that hag." To clarify, David meant, "You know, the one teaching Divination this term." IF THAT WAS HER REAL REASON TO BE HERE ANYWAY.

"Yeah. Definitely a Ravenclaw thing." Davie agreed just because it was the easiest explanation. "Yes! Brilliant!" See, this was why he kept Gryffindors around. They were pretty good at coming up with money-making enterprises. "We should sneakily advertise the dragon-fighting in our classes, you know, in that time before the professor starts talking, and then we get people to come down to the courtyard to pay and watch, and we can make stuff more exciting by adding in a Jack Stone and a snake pit and maybe even something that explodes, like in Snap..." Blaise was a wizard kid; he'd understand the gobstones and Exploding Snap references there. Yes, this was a great plan!!

Okay so he had to train his quill. Right. That was smarter than he'd thought. "I see..." David nodded and set his quill up to balance on his now-open journal. "Do I start with, uh, a command to take my name down?" He glanced out toward the hall again with a chuckle of agreement for Blaise. "Have you seen the crop of kids this year? Buncha girls." Girls with pretty hair and smart smiles and ignorance about who Harry Potter was. PFFT. As IF he even wanted to talk about them. ~~He did.~~

Oh, and before they forgot, because of the first-year-weirdos... "Which chocolate frog cards do you want to trade?"
