 Question for the Prof! and also derf doesn't proofread tweets | #wrongaboutcereal | #siriusly? | emo to the extremo
Huh? Turn a page in— Oh. Whatever Halloween was still kiiiiiiiind of far away. Like a good week or so at least. And anyway, she still didn’t sound as dumb as Juniper did when the girl asked about pie. Now THAT was just plain dumb. Why the heck would they bake pie in Potions? Maybe make pumpkin juice or something, but pie?? Definitely not. Anyway, she was trying to focus on finding flobberworms in her pumpkin for Derf. Oh the things you do for friends.
Though now class was starting and she had to somewhat look like she was paying attention…when really all she wanted to do was cut open her pumpkin. Leaning over to Derf, the Gryffindor whispered, “well that was rude,” Re-centering herself, the Gryffindor looked over the list of ingredients and didn’t write them down (like usual), instead hoping Professor Noble would stop talking so much!!! Zoryn had absolutely no motivation to stay focused, ‘specially after poor Abey got points taken away. It was his first time, yeah? Welcome to the club, young Abraham!!! Maybe next they could all get detention or something together. Y’know, to really drive the point home! It was the Gryffindor way.
Zoryn was once again drawn back to the moment by Derfael, when he loudly exclaimed his surprise over the live month thing. This, of course, didn’t bother Zoryn. If he wanted to, she’d gladly crush his moths for him if that’s what the instructions called for. She wasn’t as squirmy as Derf was, though that probably wasn’t saying much seeing as most people fit that bill too.
“That never happens!” She was usually behind the curve, like WAY behind. Heh. She wore a proud smile, going into the next part of class…. Which was…. Actually doing stuff!!! Finally. “Diffindo!” Her cut wasn’t all that neat, but it was almost a circle? A wobbly, wavy circle? Y’know what, it was ovular and that’s what mattered.
Zoryn glanced over at the board (for the first time) to figure out what she was meant to do next, but upon reading the top a question came to mind. Some other kid had already sorta touched on it, but really transfiguration and potions... whatever. Why was any of it needed in the first place!? “Professor Noble, why would anyone want a pumpkin head?” In other words: This potion was kind of dumb. When would they actually use it in the REAL WORLD???? Shouldn’t they be learning useful stuff? Like how to do math or something? Just sayin’.
Picking up her metal spoon, the Gryffindor began pulling some of the pumpkin innards out of the gourd. Upon pulling out the messy orange gunk, she pushed it close to Derf’s face and CRINKLED HER NOSE so he could know that she thought it was all suuuuuuuuper gross.
