 oh Mercer, your brother absolutely adores you astronomizzle ♧ gryffinDORK | & the rest is drag ♣ #badluckDerf
You were quite welcome, Professor Holden.
Well...Mercer did tick all the boxes off what he was subconsciously looking for with a partner. The kid had the enthusiasm of a compass trying to find magnetic North here at Hogwarts and would dive in head first no matter what the task, which meant Atlas could (more or less) supervise on the sidelines.
...but what had he done to his face? This kid, honestly.
Having missed the whole ash situation while his attention lay elsewhere, he patted his pocket for his wand first of all. "...you...want me to get all that off your face for you?" The Gryffindor would not really consider it a look that would strike terror in anyone's heart...but it sure did bring out the Ravenclaw's eyes. Big time. "That's...an ace starting point," he nodded with a gentle sort of encouragement. Hated the idea though, no offense. "I would say that is more of a test of...spookability rather than courage though. What ideas do you got rolling around in your head for a test of integrity?"
Courage, eh. There were likely to be tons of those concepts floating around and were the most standard of proceedings with these things. Make teenagers face off against dangerous creatures, face great peril, yada yada yada.
