Rufus was confident he could work his charms on these two, so as soon as the handoff occurred, he began prancing away, long tail held high in the air as he led the way to the obstacle course, as though he really really wanted to give it a try. Hah.

After a deep breath, he mustered up a big smile. "I don't know if it's a good idea, or a bad idea, but it sure is an idea."

Closing his deep blue eyes, Zach put two fingers at each of his temples, as if he had a migraine. "Wampus can read minds using legilimency, right?" Taking another deep breath, the boy crouched in front of the wampus kitten Rufus, eyes still closed. "If we show that our intentions are good, maybe we can convince this little guy to cooperate."

Taking his fingers from his head, Zachary took the leash in one hand. The Hufflepuff wasn't an expert at occlumency, but he knew some tricks. "Imagine each of your thoughts are on a card, and put them back in the deck until your mind is clear." One more deep breath. It was going to be all or nothing. "And then you choose the cards you want to play."

Opening up his pretty blues, it was time for him to play his hand as he made eye contact with the six legged kitten. One by one, he let a curated list of memories and thoughts enter his mind. It felt like damming a raging river, but his will held strong. Opening with an image of the Wampus House crest at Ilvermorny, he moved on to a memory of hiking through the mountains in the Southwestern United States three summers ago with his family, the sun shining bright in his mind. "..country roads, take me home..." Zach sang some dumb old song at a whisper, unable to untangle the song from that memory.

Shuffling the deck in his mind, Zach began to play cards from today, starting with breakfast. Bacon, eggs, sausage and toast. He did his best to focus on the bacon and sausage, trying to recall the smell and the taste. Letting the memory of bacon linger in his mind, next he went back to only a few minutes ago, watching Streaky run the obstacle course. Of course, he omitted the part where the cat took off into the air. "Help me out, and I'll introduce you to the wonders of bacon."

This was his gambit. Zachary knew it was careless, but he had to cast out any doubts he had when he cleared his mind. He could already be hypnotized, and not even know it. If he failed, it would be up to Nina, and maybe the professor, to clean up his mess.

Nina gave Professor Williamson a nod, as she took the leash to show she understood. The wampus couldn’t be that strong. Their Professor was being a tad theatrical, no? Either way, she did NOT plan on holding onto the leash. It had rained the night before and falling into the mud was not something Nina wanted to risk. As such, she was relieved when Zach took the leash from her before the cat could take off.

”……. Right,” Nina smiled at Zachary as he began to explain his strategy, but as far as she was concerned, his mind clearing thing was rather ridiculous. He sounded like the divinations Professor. And no offense to Professor Kitridge, but divinations was the least useful class. Like. Ever.

…………………… Country roads? ………………… Bacon?

Was it too late to ask for another partner? Hers was actually crazy. She turned back to give Professor Williamson a look. Was he HEARING all of this???

But as ridiculous as it was? The wampus was LEADING the way towards the obstacle course??? ”I can’t believe I’m actually saying this… But I think your plan is working,” The wampus actually WANTED to travel through the course. Whatever Zachary was doing with this bacon nonsense, she was somewhat impressed. If not utterly grossed out. Bacon is disgusting.
