 That's Rough Buddy | Be the Flower | Moon & Stars
Cornelius Orion Baltazar was DEAD.
D-E-A-D.
He couldn't believe Professor Stewart was doing his tie and calling him smart and handsome. What this how heaven felt? Because if it did Cornelius neeeever wanted to leave. A rosie tint rose in his dimply cheeks as he smiled at the blue-eyed woman. From this close up he thought they resembled crystallized water. Like...deep ocean water.
When Professor Stewart finished adjusting his tie and shirt collar he nodded, his smile growing more and showing off those dimples of his. "No chance." Of losing points. Never. Not in her presence. "Thank you, Professor Stewart. If you need a helper this lesson, I'm your guy." He jabbed a thumb at himself. He. Cornelius Orion Baltazar. Yep.
Stepping into the classroom the boy shook his head, ruffling his curls as he did, and snapping out of whatever spell he had been under. Woah. That was a crazy rush. He took a seat next to the girl who was scared of insects (Katherine) and flashed her a grin that was a bit on the teasing side.
Oh, everyone shut up. Class was starting! Professor Steward had Cornelius' undivided attention. He studied the images carefully, and slowly raised his hand up, still studying the images. These were ancient but he knew about them because of his godfather who was ALL into antiques and collected those things. That and his dad was muggle-stuff-obsessed.
"They are animated cartoons. My godpop says they are different from films. Like...they are drawn. Like, each scene and stuff." By real hands and real people.
