To say he was only half paying attention was an understatement, especially with the "fidget toy" in his pocket providing mindless stimulation and entertainment. Not to mention it being night and his subconscious wishing he was back in the dorms zonked out next to Aries. Thankfully Atlas was with it enough to get the general gist of what was going on...but him and lighting spells were things that did not always get along too well. You know, the whole bursts of light manifesting out of nothing and how similar that was in essence to...you knoooooow...Bombarda. So, there was a pretty good chance that this Gryffindor was going to blow up his plant rather than make it bloom.
Which was why he was doing a fair bit of procrastinating at his station. Also? It was really hot in here and he did have this elaborate scarf thing going on and that took at least five minutes to peel off and untie. He had had to be thorough, you see. Wand in hand, Atlas peered at his plant while his chin rested on the back of his hands atop his work station. Before he could offer the plant a preemptive apology, his fidgeting got the best of him. Meaning to remove his wand ONLY from his pocket, the third year felt his stomach unceremoniously drop as he heard the clank and thud or something falling out of his pocket and to the ground. His pocket much lighter than it had been a couple of second ago, his bright blue eyes darted towards the ground just in time to see something scamper away.
"...oh fudgesticks..."
