He too, took a seat, making sure to be closer to Professor Myers than he was to Blaise. (Good riddance to those ugly shoes, by the way) "Sir, this is useless. We don't like each other." Couldn't that be the end of it? "If he wasn't so annoying and whiney, maybe I'd have a reason to like him. Or help him." He knew that Char had helped him with duel stuff and Roo was good at helping.
But not for people like Blaise.
People who didn't want help.
With a sigh, the fourth year picked at the edge of the lily pad they were on. "I thought he was Charlotte's boyfriend." That was honestly how it had began. It was also how it had began with Olly. There was definitely a running trend here. "And I wanted to be her boyfriend." Something that he still wasn't, unfortunately. "I just don't like his attitude about school." Especially the skipping classes and coming with no wand and generally looking like someone had told him his pet had died. Every second of every day.
How did people find the kid fun? Seriously?

He was calm.
Blaise opted in that moment to take a seat, his best dimpled smile now plastered across his face.
"I don't need your help Rooney Bronwyn--not when I've got Charlotte Kettleburn all to myself every time we go to the Room of Requirements. Reckon I should be sad you'll never like me and that you don't feel the need to help me but me and Char have made real progress. I especially like what happens when I've gotten a spell right--you know why?" The boy leaned forward, his smile widening. "I don't suspect she's told you. I mean she's mentioned how sensitive you are and how she doesn't wanna hurt your feelings but I'll say I've grown to like the taste of lip gloss and leave it there. You can use that superior Ravenclaw brain of yours to figure it out."
Didn't like him because he thought he was Char's boyfriend? Shouldn't have told him that. Should have kept it to himself because now Blaise was having a field day. "By all means, never ever EVER try to help me, you'll only ruin it for me."

Rooney didn't say anything. He didn't think he had the stability to say anything without bursting into tears. Sure, Blaise hadn't said ANYTHING specifically, but he was pretty good at making a point without actually making it. And Rooney Bronwyn was certain he had understood perfectly clear. Charlotte Kettleburn was actually kissing Blaise Bellaire, and he had been right all along. He didn't know her. He thought he did. But this proved he didn't.
And he wasn't sure if he wanted to in the future.
What he was sure of was that he was going to be leaving right now, whether Professor Myers liked it or not. So, standing up, Rooney gave his love rival a shove towards the water and made for the door, still without uttering a word. Or crying. Which was definitely a good step for him, but the prefect tub wouldn't need a water source now that he was able to cry it full.

SPLASH!!!!!!!
The once sitting boy was now fully soaked and fully satisfied. He watched Rooney leaving but didn't think he was done. The problem with finally hurting Rooney the way he hurt him was that it felt so good. Before the boy could be through the door, Blaise cupped his hands to his mouth and yelled loud enough to be sure even after he'd stepped outside, none of his words would be lost.
"Shame I don't know how to cast the drying spell. I'll just have to get Char to do it for me! We can grab cookies in the kitchen and she can make me feel better about being BULLIED by you!"
Only as a second thought did the boy look to his notepad, checking to be sure it hadn't gotten splashed. For the most part it was still in tact. That oh so smug smile? ALSO still in place. He'd won this round. Rooney had made him leave Herbology and now he'd made HIM leave this office.
NOW d'you see why this was a bad idea, Professor????
It was all so quick!
One minute, he could tell Rooney was legitimately trying to explain why he did not like Blaise. Paul didn't even get a chance to referee, reply, or anything. Because BLAISE BELLAIRE APPARENTLY KISSED CHARLOTTE KETTLEBURN. Merlin, they were young. Paul's love of gossip had this information instantly filed away, but STILL.
THE DRAMA.
He wanted a TV show purely based off of Hogwarts drama happenings. It would never happen, but you know, a man could dream.
He quickly raised his wand and lifted the boy out of the water and onto an empty, large lily-pad. He immediately began a drying spell, sighing. "
I am so sorry, Mr. Bellaire. I do think you upset him though..." Paul was not aware that this was Blaise's goal OR that Blaise had won any sort of "battle."
"Are you okay?"
Sigh. He felt just awful for Mr. Bronwyn.

Well, this was normal, considering it was Myers' office.
Paul laughed.
"I...well it's still back there!" he nodded at the door behind him.
"But it's so dull, sitting in an office all day, you know? SOOO I made this area the meeting space with you all. I'll change it up a lot...I already know what I want next in here."
Hehe.
But that would be a surprise.
He flopped back onto a lily-pad and tried to relaaaaaax.
SPOILER!!: Isabella

She giggled when Professor Myers said that being top of the class didn't matter after school. Someone should tell her parents that. Then, when Myers said he did not in fact know her mother, she let a silent sigh of relief. It would be weird to have her head of house know her mother. Too, too weird.
Magic is hard. Isabella tried not to laugh as Myers made up some tips on the spot. Generic, but still accurate. Especially since Isabella usually did fail the first time when she tried new spells. "Thank you, Professor," she said as seriously as she could. "I will keep trying my best." She would never admit it, but Isabella was glad she'd heeded her mother's advice to visit her professor. He was much less intimidating now that she'd seen him in his natural habitat.
"I should let you get back to making waves for your dog," she said, turning to go. Hopefully he would wait until she was on solid ground if he wanted to bounce on the lily pads again, though. Otherwise she'd probably fall in.
Isabella seemed like such a nice young woman. He just smiled over at her while she spoke.
"Anytime, m'dear. I'm so glad you're in Hufflepuff. You're going to make a fine badger," he said with a nod. "
And I'm sure that you'll do just fine in school. Tell your mother you visited me, all right? So she can have some peace of mind." And not nag her daughter to pay him a visit anymore!
"All right! Stop by any time, okay? My door's always open! Well not physically but metaphorically, yes of course!" he chortled to himself.
SPOILER!!: Esme

There WERE special circumstances where other pets could come to the school, but for one thing she didn't think that her mother would let it happen. Dogs needed a lot of attention and it would be hard to give when they had to deal with classes and homework. Of course knowing that didn't make things any easier. At least there was Sparkle, who went with her just about everywhere.
Swimming in the lake sounded like a lot of fun though she had never done it before. "When it's nice and warm maybe we can all swim in the lake!" Sounded pretty fun to Esme, squid aside. She had never been in the water at Hogwarts before and there didn't appear to be any real danger in trying it out. No one had been dragged to their death as far as she knew and if Professors were around things should be extra safe. People had been swimming in the lake for ages and she wanted a part of it at some point.
Anyway Professor Myers was amazing.
"Thank you so much, sir. You really ARE the best!" Imagine there being a Skittle fountain in the common room. It would be absolutely amazing. Even though she wasn't huge on candy in general they were among her favourites because they were fruity and delicious. Juno would be hearing about this later for sure!
"
I think it would just so hard to have a dog while here at school...as a student, you know?" he said with a sigh.
"Cats require work, yes, but not like dogs. I feel dogs would get very lonely." Maybe that was why they weren't allowed. "But my Zelda seems fine, so I'm quite happy about that." T h a n k M e r l i n.
Well. Paul didn't know if HE would ever swim in the lake. Sure, he waded in the shallow part to collect different seaweeds and other things for his composts, but...swim. He couldn't imagine it. There were so many THINGS living in the lake...
"Maybe I'll take Zelda. Who knows." It was much too cold right now, obviously.
And...now Paul had to find a skittles fountain.
Well.
Okay.
"Just be patient...I promise I'll make it happen before the term is up!"
