 ~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.
Was there awkwardness on their part?
There was none! Being at ease with students of all ages was what he was used to, so Nora didn’t be awkward, afraid or anything of the sort. “That’s understandable. Rather sensible too. I imagine a bit more practice with incantations and wand movements and we’ll see you being confident in no time.” Just a few words of encouragement there.
“Away we go then,’’ Dhruv remarked with the air of someone who lived in greenhouses and moving potted plants around manually was something they did on a regular. The professor lifted their end almost at the same time as Nora did then stepped off in the direction Tapio had gone earlier. They made sure to match the Gryffindor’s steps, just so they didn’t throw her off balance which might in turn cause her to hurt herself.
“Pick a plant and we’ll take it away together when I get back,’’ they called quietly to Keighley as they retreated. Personally, they didn’t mind the company either. The more students, the happier Dhruv would be. “It certainly is!” This was directed to Wiley. They even threw in a wink because Tapio hadn’t said that they couldn’t peek; just not to remove the cloth. Peeking didn’t involve removing the cloth for the majority of the way. But that was just the way Dhruv’s Slytherin brain had worked to calculate things. |
