 Some catch up + Ary and Bry! Anashti l Brat Pack l Sally & Dr. Finklestein
Thus far for this lesson, Drake had had next to nothing to contribute. He didn't know much about well... any of the establishments down in Hogsmeade. He was aware of the Shrieking Shack which he had been VERY scared of his first year, until he learned that it was called that because it had been a place of refuge for a student werewolf and his friends who'd wanted to accompany him. That had made it look more like a place of beauty to him, something loyal and charming despite it's dilapidated outward appearance. He couldn't have told anyone though if the shack had been erected simply for the students sake however or if it had once been it's own place of business. He might have asked for clarification, except he hadn't been quick enough and they were already moving on. He noted the book suggested by Professor Fergersnout down on his paper. Maybe he would consider peeking at it later.
As for events that had happened in Hogsmeade? Er.... well..... he definitely had nothing for that. Though Bryony's answer caught his attention. Wouldn't THAT have been something fun to have been able to attend? The only thing he could think of, though a very small fact and hardly an 'event', was that someone had been cursed by a necklace smuggled in back in Harry Potter's days at school. What was her name.... Katie something or another perhaps? Though he couldn't remember why she was the one who had been chosen or for what purpose the cursing had happened.
So yes... it was better he remained silent on that one too.
Now, it was on to the main activity of the lesson itself. They were.... creating their own magical village of sorts? There was so many possibilities that Drake was immediately overwhelmed by the instruction. Not to mention the abysmal knowledge he clearly held on the history of the existing villages (including those in close proximity) meant that learning from the past was certainly not going to apply to his little makeshift community. If it wasn't for Aryan the angel, he might have feigned sick right then and there to not truly show how unintelligent he was currently feeling. "Yes please." He answered quietly, but with a smile directed at both of them. "A poster sounds like a good idea too. It's creative and fun but still simple enough we shouldn't have any trouble completing it in the time frame." Especially if they were all three working on it together.
As for ideas.... Drake slunk in his chair a bit as he considered, his face screwing up into quite the look of concentration. "What if.... what if we make our village kind of like the Hogsmeade of Castelobruxo?" And if one existed, he would remind everyone now he was terrible at all of this stuff and he was unaware of it. "That would put the village in the rainforest too. We could have um... plant shops, maybe a few different ones to show the diversity of what's available in that area? And uh... potions shops, including one specific to buying different potions needed for the care of the creatures native to the area?"
