Teddy had always taken pride in his ability to charm his way into the hearts of the people around him, and today's plan was a two-for-one special. It was the Saturday afternoon following their first week of classes, and he had not only had he signed himself up to work in the cabana, but he'd also signed up one Faye Asztalos, too. He was being intentionally transparent in that it would be himself and the Hufflepuff seventh year renting out the space this afternoon - it would, ideally, either invoke Peralta's trust in them by not hiding it, or else simply attract the professor to come check in on them. Teddy was a good kid and he knew Peralta knew that, sure, but he'd have been more surprised to not find her peeking in on her seventh years this afternoon, so he made sure to account for that in his preparations, too.
But there was nothing to worry about. Not really. Teddy had arrived alone at the cabana room a few minutes before their sign-up time, a rucksack on his back, and he breeeathed in deeply, taking in the pseudo-scenery the wall had chosen today. It was a shame; wherever this was, he wished he could actually be there now to swim, explore, and hike, and it almost seemed cruel to be so close and yet so far from that sort of adventure - but he was still grateful. He and Faye could see the natural beauty surrounding Hogwarts and swim, explore, and hike the grounds any day they'd like, and this was something special. Different. Serene, quiet, and all theirs, minus the inevitable fly-on-the-wall named Peralta.
He began unpacking his rucksack. There was a picnic blanket he'd typically used out in the grounds, but today he had used it to easily contain the various snacks and sweets he'd smuggled in his trunk the week prior, most of it from Sugarplum's. There was a box of macarons and a host of sweets in quantities of three: cauldron cakes, pumpkin pasties, chocolate frogs, licorice wands, sticks of Drooble's gum, and bottles of pumpkin juice. It wasn't all that glamorous, but Teddy knew it was the thought that counted, and his mere planning and the quality time spent with Faye would probably mean more to her than any fancy feast.
The third of each treat was, of course, a peace offering for Peralta. They were technically maybe not solely using the cabana to just practice their spellwork, but Teddy was going to make sure they did some, just in case the professor showed up. They could feign innocence and invite her to picnic with them. It could be like a cute little charms club meeting, if there had been such a thing, and as long as they were contributing to their ever-growing charms skillsets, Teddy felt that use of this room was as justifiable as it was likely to be memorable.
He arranged the sweets with care on the table in front of him before pulling out his textbooks - Charms of Defence and Deterrence by Catullus Spangle and The Standard Book of Spells, Grade 7 by Miranda Goshawk - and stacking one atop the other to rest beside their goods. Just in time, too, as he'd requested Faye's presence for a ~surprise~ right about... now.
