 Unforgivably Cursed | adultescent
Gunnar had wondered if today's astronomy class would be heavy in theory rather than hands-on practical learning since there wasn't much outdoor activity to be had these days. Even if seeing Professor Sandhu's attire might have told him otherwise, the Slytherin wasn't too surprised with his hand cramping up as he jotted down line after line in his notes. There really was a lot of information today and honestly, he didn't feel much like offering to the discussion himself.
But he put his notes away when prompted, and after jotting down the incantation and wand movement notes for the spell, and pulled out his wand to practice. Gunnar was just about to have his textbook orbit his head when he looked up. Stretching...? Oh. Oh right. He had forgotten about the roller skates he spotted upon entering the classroom. And though he missed some of the outdoor physical activity he was used to, he wasn't so sure he was excited about roller skating around the room with the rest of the class. Or at least that's what he figured they'd be doing.
And it would appear that he guessed correctly. After he successfully made his book circle around his head several times, Gunnar allowed it to drop to his desk with a THUD, then looked up as the professor clapped her hands to get their attention. Great. He did his part in gathering up his things and moving things out of the way in order for them to do this skating orbiting thing. And some stretching of course.
He had just gotten his skates on when he heard a loud, pointed question from his younger housemate, Eloise. Normally, he wasn't bothered with whatever nonsense she was often known to be spouting. But it was clear that she thought she was clever and when it was directed towards a friend (or two), it was a bit harder to ignore.
"Only if we get to watch you look like a fool first," he told her as cast the spell for himself, shoulder checking her as he passed her. "Oops, my bad," he said with an innocent and apologetic smile over his shoulder. "Still getting used to the spell." He wasn't too worried about bumping her accidentally since he didn't do it very hard and he doubted she'd fall. Not with the stability charm on the skates.
