I’m half sure he’d stand and watch for a solid five minutes to make sure I really was dying.” And by then unconsciousness would be the least of her worries.

There were some people it wasn’t wise to trust your life to. He was one of them. Not necessarily a bad thing, just something to be noted when trying to think up any bright ideas.

On a more amusing note, Zoryn Spinnet. It was amazing how her friend had managed to turn innocent musings aimed at the practicality of the situation into outright thoughts of rebellion. It was....admittedly the type of social experiment the 7th year could get behind. She enjoyed digging into humour behaviour, cause and effect, all that stuff. The effect was always especially interesting for her. Jessa too spared the new Divination man a glance.

“You’re right, we’ve got the numbers.” And just like that the cogs in her head began to turn. How the experiment would be conducted, the margin for error, the possible outcomes. “We’d need a sizeable sample group for this to work. Too small and the experiment won’t give us any usable data for the next time.” Because everyone knew you couldn’t simply try things ONCE to get an accurate idea. Obviously.

And then Peeves happened. Peeves...Peeves...Peeves.

She may have been angry if there wasn’t suddenly a breakfast burrito—caught on reflex—now in her possession. So maybe she wouldn’t be mad today. “Wanna split it?”
Had it been anyone else, it was a risk she'd be willing to take. But seeing as this was Jessa Cambridge they were talking about... They needed her. She had a good head. "He's a real pain in the..."

Her sentence had an ending to it as well, but she momentarily found herself distracted by all the ruckus peeves was causing. As if it weren't enough that they had to do these stupid laps, but now they were inviting the poltergeist to make it THAT much more unbearable. Seriously, what kind of cruel joke was this!? She would rather be serving detention.

The only thing that made any of this bearable was her company at the moment. The sample size musings went in one ear and out the other, as did most sciencey things, but the cogs in Zoryn's head were turning too. She needed a way to reclaim her name and what better way than to be the face of a rebellion? It would be a big screw you to authority around here. And when Hawthorne gets reinstated, they'd be LEGENDS. "With your brains and my charisma, popularity, leadership, talent and command..." she trailed off. "I bet we could really pull it off." Though, perhaps they ought to discuss details in a less public forum.

Last thing they needed was their stupid divination professor to ride their tails.

Again she found herself distracted when Peeves flew by, jumping out of the way and finding herself pretty impressed by Jessa's quick catch. "You b--" -____- OF FREAKING COURSE. The second time Peeves went for a throw, Zoryn ducked right in time. Even picking up the breakfast bits and throwing them right back at him, not that it would do much but still.
