Okay, back to the kid. "I'm glad you like them, Mr Woods. A friend of mine thought they'd be a nice little gift." In the place of his actual glasses that he needed to see out of. Thank Merlin for contacts, which now felt weird on his eyes. Maybe he needed to report this back to David Truebridge if the boy was still thinking about wearing contacts.

And now, onto the main business. Because if the Hufflepuff could spew out a random question without being embarrassed, then so could Hirsch. "So what's with the plant? What's with the poncho?" As in, please explain because the Defence Professor had no idea what was going on.

OH BOY.

Brian Woods was so dead. So dead. He should have kept his mouth shut and not said anything and bit his tongue even though those were rather fascinating glasses. Seriously. One did not question their professors' questionable fashion choices. Especially not when there were others at the same table with more questionable ones but he was USED to Professor Myers' weird and well, Professor Ichihara was pretty darned terrifying. Not that Hirsch wasn't but.. he seemed more approachable with the heart-shaped glasses.

And it was far too late to hightail it because now he was being asked questions. QUESTIONS. ACCUSATORY QUESTIONS ABOUT HIS SON AND HIS FASHION CHOICES. Oh boy. Oh boy, oh boy, oh BOY. The plant first. Yeah. "Paige and I were raising - if that's the right word to use - a Norandula seedling we got from Professor Myers earlier in the term, and now that it's transformed we figured he'd want to see it, since they're all unique and reflect the care given." Which was why Norandulas shouldn't be handled by a lot of people or they'd have a sort of identity crisis. Serious problem. They could DIE.

AND HE HAD A PERFECTLY GOOD REASON FOR THE PONCHO, OKAY. Uh. Hang on he could think of a perfectly good and ENTIRELY FAKE reason for why the plant was wearing a poncho. Nurture over nature? No, that couldn't work. Uh. Uh uh uh. "The Norandula is somewhat tropical and even though it's definitely getting warm enough these days, it's rarely ever humid enough so the fabric kinda keeps the moisture in the soil so it doesn't dry out and the plant doesn't accidentally die." Nodnodnod. "And it's porous so it's breathable and oxygen can still diffuse in and stuff." That was a pretty good reason, right? "Also, Paige made it."

Somewhat believable, at least?
