Leo wasn’t one to shy away from a challenge or be reckless and wasn’t that how potions worked? Trial and error. Though maybe next time he’ll sit down or wear a helmet, just to be safe.
Chuckling at Vera’s fantastic gymnastics, the lion took a seat on the couch and loosened his tie, folding his sleeves to his elbows. Lazy down time mode! ”I may or may not have adventured without you. Apologies!” Leo chuckled. ”I’ve been in the library.” If not, then the usual shenanigans in the RoR.
Ah, the OWLs. He didn’t do too bad, though there were certainly areas that needed improvement. No one’s perfect. Unless you’re Mr. Steve Chay. Leo tossed his head back a bit and laughed because Vera was correct on the potions score. ”I wouldn’t trust myself to fly.” Air coordination was not his forte and his score proved it. ”Everywhere else I did fairly well!” He grinned.
”What have you been up to besides couch gymnastics and missing me?” Leo teased.
She eyed him skeptically for a moment, trying to determine how being a TOAD was worse than death before realizing he probably meant what actually happened instead of her dramatics. Because that made a whole lot more sense.
"I think a toad would have suited you. You could have been my partner in Frog Choir then!" She grinned at him, poking her tongue out in jest. And while she was normally on the train of recklessness (maybe even the conductor at times), there was also a sense of self protection in that she didn't want to live with the GUILT of something serious having happened because of something she crafted.
She mocked offense for a moment from her new spot on the ground, legs criss crossed underneath her. Except when he mentioned the library, she couldn't even feign it anymore.
"I'll forgive you for that one. You can have aaaaall the adventures in the library you won't without my wonderful presence." Although she would of course bother him for the room of requirement. Especially since that's usually where he did his potions making, if memory served, and she could certainly use assistance from an O student in that department.
"Flying is so FUN though! How did you ace the boring subjects and score badly in the fun one!?" She was flabberghasted, even though truthfully her own flying skills were nothing to boast about. She liked to fly - precision just wasn't her strong suit. Probably why despite her love of the game, she'd always leaned Gobstones over Quidditch.
"But also, congratulations. I take it then your contract remains in tact? Did you get to do any performances over the summer or anything?"
She laughed a bit at the couch gymnastics, still mildly impressed with herself before giving an eyeroll at the statement of missing him.
"Gryffindor boys, I swear." She commented, before considering her summer and all the activities she'd been up to. It had been... a lot. She kept pretty busy, for sure.
"I got a job over the summer, so there was that. And I'm still on a Junior Gobstones team too so like.. matches and practices were a thing. And then it was really just spending time with people when I could." Avoiding home, y'know. The normal teenager stuff.
