You BET there was a story there. A wild one. You bet.
Oh. Hello house elf. Toddles again. Just like at the feast, Abra craned his neck to see the little creature, but other than that didn't acknowledge him, determined as he was not to be considered a disturbance in the classroom. Uhh... bog-classroom.
Anyway, right, yes, the lesson. And they were... following the Headmaster. Okay, nothing too difficult so far, and Abra didn't hesitate in doing as he was told, picking his way through the bog and trying to make sure he kept up but also that none of the smaller, younger kids lagged too far behind.
When the Headmaster asked his questions, Abra was quiet for a long while, partly focused on making sure he didn't fall flat on his face, but mostly just thinking. What would he do in that situation? Eventually, he spoke up, but didn't bother raising his hand this time because, well... they they were all walking and there didn't seem to be much point. "I probably wouldn't follow any of the lanterns. I'd wait for it to get light or I'd go towards the darkness and use my own light if I had my wand on me, which... I hope I would, actually. Actually even if you could see it was a person holding the lantern, it probably wouldn't be wise to just trust them and go with them if you... didn't... if you didn't... know... them..." Uhh.
A bit like they were doing right now, actually. Uhhhh... Was this a TEST??? They were all just following a strange man with a lantern unquestioningly, after all. He could be anyone. He could be a really smart hinkypunk in disguise.
