Astronomy Lesson 2 :: food in space.............sort of
The small table with the lint roller and sign informing you that it is not to be used on your hair has been moved from outside of the Astronomy classroom to outside of the Astrophysics Laboratory. The use of it, or rolling eyes at it, should be second nature by now...but as you step inside the laboratory and grab your lab coat with your NASA name tag on it from the hanger to the right of the door...you may find yourself wondering if you are in the correct location.
But that is not all that is a bit strange. In the front of the laboratory, where the professor's desk usually is, are several large wooden stands filled with all sorts of produce and meats. There are mouthwatering fruits, tantalizing vegetables, and succulent looking raw meats and seafood just waiting to be eaten. Not to worry, there are charms in place to ensure that nothing spoils! However, the blackboard to the left of the stands states very clearly DO NOT TOUCH OR EAT ANYTHING - which must surely upset your grumbling tummy.
Perhaps the strangest of all is the fact that Professor Flamsteed is no where to be seen. Hmm...guess you better find a seat and wait for class to start then?

Jasmine had chosen a bunch of carrots for her next weapon. Pointing her wand at the vegetables, she said, "Francesco". With a handful of pureed carrots, she was just about to launch them when......SPLAT. Something wet hit the side of her head. Jasmine's eyes followed the path that the apples took and saw her friend Adi.
Giving Adi a wicked smile, she prepared her counterattack. "Hey Adi, I have a present for you." With that, Jasmine threw her carrots back at him. If you couldn't hit your friend with food, who could you hit? This was going to be soooo much fun to clean up.

He smirked and laughed at her and the she used a block spell and saw the puff coming straight for him. He didn't have time to duck till he felt a...THWACK!!!! On this back of his head. Well played lion prefect....well played. He got what he deserved.
He looked around for his next target and saw Puck near the door. Ah ah aaahh...she wasn't getting away that easily. He smirked and got some nice food to aim at her. It was nice and moist and squishy. He got his wand out and said, "Francesco!" and he thought it was weird name for a spell but it sounded cool pronouncing it. He aimed and fired at the lion. Let's see if it hit her!

"THAT BLOKE BIT MY FINGERS!!!!!!!"
He looked around angrily at his surroundings. AND HE HAD THE GULL TO LOCK HIM UP.
WHAT ON EARTH-?!
WHO ON EARTH-?!
WHY ON EARTH-?!
WHEN ON EARTH DID HE CROSS INTO A LOONEY PARALLEL UNIVERSE?!!
This was a bad day to come to class, running on two hours of sleep. The boy pounded on the door along Puck, "LISTEN HERE, AIREY!!! YOUR TEETH MARKS ARE ON MY FINGERS, YOU LOON!!"Bang! Bang! Bang!"THIS ISN'T FUNNY ANYMO-OHHHHH!!" The door clicked and swung open and fell into what looked like a food warzone. The waste!
Y'know, the storage closet isn't all that bad anymore. He reached up to catch a couple of food items flying by and retreated into the storage closet for safety. He'll deal with Captain Loonballs later.

She gasped when suddenly Puck fell out--and she reached down to help her friend up. She nodded instantly, too. "Yes--come on--" she whispered back, and without another LOOK in professor pirate's WAY--she followed Puck towards the door.
Seriously. People had bad things to say about Durmstrang?! WHEN HOGWARTS WAS THIS CRAZY?! NONE OF HER PROFESSORS AHD EVER LOCKED HER IN A CLOSET BEFORE. Not even for skipping class for a MONTH. Eden was APPALLED, okay? He should be ARRESTED for STUDENT ABUSE!

*SPLAT!*
The side of his beautiful face was hit with Merlin-knows-what and dripping down his neck and into his collar. Dec froze in place, unaffected eye twitching; the temperature in his face rising.
...
.....
.......
Unbelievably furious, Dec rose to his full six feet stature, not even fazed by the pureed food whizzing by close, and grabbed the apple he left the closet for.
He's had it with people getting too friendly with his face. The boy reached slid his wand out of his pocket and held it at his side; glaring at the direction in which the culprit had thrown this disgusting substance at his face. Declan took one bite into the apple and then, non-verbally casted 'Francesco' on the apple while he chewed in despise.
Not taking his eyes off that side of the room, he mumbled, "Depulso" and watched the apple puree whiz towards group of blue and red. No more Mr. Nice Hufflepuff.
She was in the midst of crawling toward the door when she heard Declan yelling about his fingers being bitten. “SNAP OUT OF IT HAZLEWOOD” she yell-whispered at the guy before she heard him yelling about something else…food.
WHAT THE FLYING CHICKEN? Why was there raw chicken bits flying through the air? No. No. NO this was gross. This was wrong. As she crawled her way toward the door she felt it, THERE WAS SOMETHING IN HER HAIR.
IT was ruined…it smelled like, like…apples but still food in her hair. She whimpered slightly before taking the apple bits from her hair whimpering and chucking them away from her. “My haaaair” she whimpered…wait, was about to see if Declan was following them when she spotted him throwing food at people. Great. “Hey…Hazelwood why not get out of here before they throw more stuff at you?” Puck asked as quietly as she possibly could…hopefully he heard. Heck, she didn’t know if anyone was hit with her thrown apple bits…but, she just needed to go!
And with that she was running, well…crawling out the door so Professor Crackpot wouldn’t see her until she was out the door. “good luck guys” she whispered before standing and bolting to the corridors and beyond.

Very faintly, almost like it didn't exist, Alexa heard a voice. It wasn't just any voice either but Thorton. She'd recognize the prim and proper tone anywhere and whirled in his direction with a casual grin. "Lighten up Thorton. The grand 'ole Cap'n might have lost a screw or two but this beats theory and he'll be out of it in no time. I'd shoot you for mutiny if we weren't on the same team." All in good fun though. This was a hella serious problem but from experience she knew there was nothing to do but ride it out and enjoy.
"I'll help you get cleaned up after, so fire away--I recommend the stuffy Slytherin over there." Permission to aim and fire at each other? Yes please! This was a long time coming if you asked her.....
Thornton turned his head to see Lex scolding him. He frowned at her, wondering if she had maybe gone mad again. After all, no one threw things at her when she was out of her mind.
He stood to answer her...

Now, he wasn't biased to Gryffindors or Ravenclaws but another Ravenclaw was whom he saw first (Thornton). Adi let his mush fly but had to quickly duck.The last thing he saw before he did that because some mush came whizzing by was AJ marching up to Ian....
...but had to quickly duck once more as mush flew threw the air toward him, little drops raining down. This was DISGUSTING. Thornton shuddered, looking forward to a long, hot bath.
He cast his eyes over to Tobias once more as he noticed others headed that direction.

Meanwhile, Toby looked around at those who'd come over (CB, Grayson, and Maddie) and made an odd sort of grimace that could pass as a smile.
"I can think of two ways of doing this," he said to them in a low as voice as he could get without being inaudible over the chaos as the classroom. "We either trick him in there somehow or..." heh "... a few of us just... just pelt him with food until he backs up into the boo-... the cupboard. That should be enough of a distraction for anyone to run. And... maybe get the Healer. Or Romanos."
And... Toby felt like he'd be one of those to charge Hooksteed. It was only fair.
"Maybe we can get that... Peter kid on side. To help us trick him in there? Unless we just...................... push him in."
Thornton sighed dramatically. He was going to have to go over there and tell them exactly why this was a terrible idea. All it would do was escalate everything. He overheard 'healer' and 'Romanos' thinking that yes, those were good ideas, but plenty of people were fleeing - why did they need to stuff the poor man, however out of his mind he was, in a closet before someone could go get help?
He rehearsed this in his head as he moved from desk to desk, trying to get closer.
BUT...

Placing the ice cream on the ground he raised his hand. "Ayeaye!" Pirate talk! But really, it was loud and his ears hurt, and he couldn't even hear himself THINK, so time to go. Watching as Maddie picked up the paper airplane he quickly skimmed before following her to Toby and the others.
Maddie. Toby. CB. Thornton. Grayson? Good group he guessed, right? He stayed quiet (which really there was no reason TO be since it was already so loud) as Toby spoke about the plan. It was plan-like alright. But it seemed like it would take forever. And he was wanted to leave NOW.
"Ooooooooor we can do this-" Raising his wand the second year pointed it right at the Professor. "AGUAMENTI!!!!!!!"
A SURE fire way to get the mans attention, right?
Running probably needed to happen.
"NO, KYROH!" Thornton jumped up from his spot on the floor, in front of the professor, and before he could doubt himself for a moment, grabbed his wand and cast. "Protego." The shield held for a moment, then faded quickly, but just long enough to take a significant blast of water.
Staring at his wand hand, Thornton blinked. "I... I did it.." he whispered, eyes wide, oblivious to the rest of the room. "I.. I did actual magic."
Too bad he was now standing tall, in the line of fire, paying no mind at all to the food.
SPLAT
right in the side of the head.

She couldn't keep track of it all. There was the semi-acknowledgement of her from Gabe while he kept constant watch of his surroundings. There were yells throughout the room, people dodging mush left, right and centre ... there was even someone hiding under a table. Not a bad idea, really ... though if she did that she'd feel even more trapped. It was crazy ... but not as crazy as what happened next.
Before she could even comprehend what was happening, her vision blurred and she was MOVING ... but not of her own accord. She was being pulled down. It wasn't until she stopped moving and took a wide-eyed peek upwards that she realised that it had been Gabe that had moved her out of the way – of flying mush, she assumed – and was now ducked down too, shielding her in a sense. Intentional or not, she didn’t know, but at that moment it didn’t matter … nothing was really processing anyway.
The red-head could now see the offending food splattered on the table at which she’d just been … and seeing it brought her focus back.
Clara blinked several times, darted under the table nearest to Gabe and went into auto pilot. She wasn’t thinking about how small the space under the table was and she felt that that was partly down to being able to see Gabe right there. She kept her eyes on, well, EVERYWHERE, while periodically shooting glances at Gabe. “You’re the smartest person I know … if you didn’t know, then who would?” It was what she’d been thinking and it was logical, but she wasn’t sure she’d meant to say it aloud. “I … Yeah, they have,” she agreed. There was no denying that he was right … and he was also right about needing to get out. Everyone sane should want to get out, too, but evidently they were the only sane ones … and they definitely needed to get out. If Gabe was feeling anything like she was feeling, the sooner they got out of there, the better.
He was visibly shaking and she feared that if they stayed here any longer he would have a panic attack. For some reason, she didn’t fear the same about herself … she felt almost numb to the situation. No. That wasn’t it. It was … shock ….. at least that was what made logical sense to her. She could tell that she was panicking about the situation inside, but her brain wasn’t registering it and it wasn’t reflecting outwardly, except perhaps in her eyes.
The next thing she did was another thing she hadn’t planned to do, but it happened nevertheless. She shuffled over to Gabe’s desk-shield and took his hand in her own and TUGGED him in the direction of the door. “Now,” she commanded … though the word came out more as a question.
She needed out. He needed out.
Could they go now? Please?

That stuff she was NOT allowing anywhere near her hair, and would NOT put up with it getting under her fingernails.
She dodged and ducked here and there, with surprising speed but plenty of smarts. Hide behind bigger targets you know. Finally she made it to the door...
... and then Ruby was gone.
Bailing on Astronomy.
Gabriel wasn't at all ready to move. NO....THERE WAS STILL FOOD FLYING. What in the world was Clara thinking?! They wouldn't be able to dodge all of that....There was literally NO WAY...because he wasn't anywhere near the door to the classroom. HIS FIRST BLEEDING MISTAKE...
However, she'd tugged him upright, anyway...and in that glimpse, he saw Ruby darting out the door. He couldn't have rightfully explained the relief he felt. Good. She would be safe...but that was soon replaced with.......
SHE LEFT ME BEHIND, THAT.....

Horrible Man.
"Alright, you have a deal." Peter ran over to help him make a fort. It was fun and this good fight was even more fun. Plus taking down Hook was a huge plus.
Though he could have a little more fun. Using his dagger wand thing he actually listened to what Hook was saying. He ran and got a piece of food. "Francesco" Look at that it was like fairy dust. And actually worked.
Then he threw it at the guy with glasses.
Looked like he needed a little fun in his life.
It had only taken a second. A SPLIT SECOND.
Something...warm...hit him in the back of the head...and Gabe fell forward at its momentum; his glasses knocked askew. He froze in place....STILL trembling and shaking...not thinking....just.....stock still.
...............
What..................?
In the next instant, he was hit again...and that seemed to jolt him out of his stunned state; eyes darting around quickly for the source. He needed to...get out...BUT THERE WAS NO WAY. He'd need to...maybe hide? until this was over. It just didn't look like there was a way out at this point. He was too far away from the door...and his classmates had lost their minds. He actually didn't feel...safe walking towards the door....What if they got creative and threw something besides food?
Gabe tugged away from Clara hard, eyes wide and WILD...turning on the spot to run....and find a desk to hide under...but slipped and started sliding across the slicked-with-food floor...
SPOILER!!: CB!

Her eyes darted around for a familiar face, specifically Sophie 'cause she'd be first to throw food at her. She just knew. But that's when she spotted Gabe... And he... well, he'd just grabbed Clara and pulled her under a table...... Coral watched them go out of sight and she was stuck staring; dumbfounded.
....
A few moments later, she was pulled out of it by a paper airplane that had struck her on the nose. She grabbed for it, and ducked under a table as more of the goo went flying, getting too close for comfort.
She unfolded the paper and read.
Toby.
The slight frown that had been on her lips was instantly replaced with a grin and she peered around in search for him before crouch/hopping her way toward him.
"What's the plan?"
SPOILER!!: TT!

And... just in case...
"Accio Banana."
That spell was definitely coming in handy today. Now to see if anyone would be up for a classroom revolution.
............................Huh?!
...and he'd slid into some sort of strategy meeting...........
He recognized the Hufflepuff boy as Toby....and then his housemates, Kyroh, Maddie, and CB....and then a Slytherin boy his sister was always with. HE...despite the current raging war, got a nasty look.
....but yea....Um.....okay.
Gabe, who'd already been hit with food and was about to black out and hurt himself or others needed out...So, strength in numbers for the moment? Was there even another way? COULD HE EVEN DEAL?
....Of course, CB was there.....and he liked her well enough...SO.....he could focus on her...if she'd let him. Gabe didn't know how girls worked....."What.....?" He was almost afraid to ask...What were they doing here? Where they....normal? Crazed?........
For the first couple of seconds Gabe spent cleaning himself off...missing bits because he couldn't very well see the back of his head. HOW EMBARRASSING...and frustrating?!......He wanted to do the violence for this! Couldn't they just....LEARN....like normal people.......?
"You....You all are....still sane...right?" His voice sounded shaky to his own ears.

Post 2 - Dot is crazytown + mention of Toby and Kyroh
Made of Awesome | Ern-la the Best-wa | TZ's Apogee
Oh, no one wanted her apple? Red shrugged before polishing it on her very red cloak, and then she casually took a bite out of it. After all the food, she'd rescued and placed in her basket, it wasn't a very bad thing if she ate ONE little apple. And an apple a day kept the wolf away. Everyone knew that.
She took another bite and wiped a bit of pureed... something off her cloak. It wasn't nice to get her dirty, not when she hadn't done anything to deserve it. War was stupid.
Oh, hullllllllllo, Prince Toby and Freckles under the desks. Red ta-taed at them with a little wave and shrug of her shoulders before dropping the rest of her apple in her basket. Now what? OH... half a carrot. That went into the basket too.
"Landlubbers. Batten the hatches." She was going to make such an excellent pirate. Wait until she told her gran.
He sneered some more at the boy as he spoke, and while his words were admirable...the Captain couldn't help but feel that unpleasant tinge of sadness that he tried his best to ignore. "Your honestly, while unpleasant, is appreciated," he nodded towards the young man. "But who is this Flame Stead I keep hearing about? Are you too a member of the Piccaninny Tribe? Same as that woman with the strange accent who acted far too friendly with me?" She had TOUCHED Captain JAS Hook without permission!
Bad form punishing those who were not showing the proper respect and moral behavior in the learning environment he had established? What a silly notion.
"And it is not also poor form to not trust your captain and to instead put your trust in some savage?" he tsked the boy before his eyes pierced the presence of the young lady.
SHE WAS WHAT?!
"You are the captain of another pirate vessel?!" he shrieked as he thrust his hook in her direction. Since when had Lost Boys and Lost Girls had the ability to have their own vessel?! WHAT WAS THIS MADNESS!? "My Smee, as you call him, is gone and replaced. Everyone is replaceable and to think otherwise is unwise."
Yes, even her "precious" first mate was replaceable. Was this one deaf as well? Had she not heard NEW Smee and AND ENTIRE NEW CREW?! Everyone was replaceable.
"You know what is not replaceable, hmmm? MY HAND! THIS HAND THAT WAS CUT OFF AND FED TO A CROCODILE BY THAT COCKY PIXIE DUST COVERED BRAT!"
And then he pointed to HIM. To Peter Pan.

"Airey's not a savage." Like literally the FURTHEST thing from it, Mister Pirate Dude.
But oh. Ouch. OUCH. Everyone is replaceable? That... ouch.
And... Toby's head HURT. He was having real trouble getting his head around what was happening here, and rubbed at the side of his head as though that might help him kickstart the braincells that might help him understand. He frowned in confusion, looking between Hook, Soph and now the boy who'd apparently taken Hook's hand and fed it to a crocodile.
Uhhh... Toby sure hoped that last part wasn't true.
Wait. WhAT. FOOD FIGHT?????
Those kids were throwing FOOD and AIREY was making it a full blown WAR. Toby didn't hang around long enough for the food to start flying properly though. He ducked down beneath his desk and sort of............... stared out at the madness, feeling awful for the poor house elves that would no doubt be cleaning up the laboratory later. Green and yellow against red and blue... right... Hopefully Soph would stick with him, though, because he had another idea.
"We need to get Hook in the 'boo box'," he muttered, partly to himself and partly to anyone who was close by enough to hear him.
Except, he still had the bunch of grapes in his hand. Toby sort of looked at them for a moment, then up into the midst of the classroom at Hook, then back at the grapes. Yes.
"Francesco," he muttered, pointing his wand at the grapes which very quickly became MUSH in his hand. "Ugghhhhh." THAT was disgusting, and very much in danger of DRIPPING on his ROBES. "Depulso!"
He flicked his wand and send the grape mush flying away from his position under the desk and straight at Hook. Without waiting to see if it hit the target, Toby pointed his wand at his hand again.
"Scourgify!"
Clean again, thank Merlin.
Okay then... so... Toby now looked around, trying to work out what to do. How do they get everyone together? How do they start a mutiny? The Hufflepuff eyed his schoolbag. He had the means to write notes to people; shouldn't be too hard to send paper airplanes out to people, right?

He ducked down again, muttering "Scourgify," to clean off his hand once more. Gross.
Oh good, so... the notes had worked. HOPEFULLY Hook wouldn't catch one though, because that... that would be awkward. Best start thinking of a fake name right now, just in case.

"Maybe we can get that... Peter kid on side. To help us trick him in there? Unless we just...................... push him in."
Well... her attempts at seeming really cool to Captain Hooksteed had not worked, but instead of laughing it off, Soph was mad.
"He is not replaceable, you... you codfish!" she spat. PROPER TERMINOLOGY AND EVERYTHING. "Cry a bit more about your hand, why don'tcha? You'd be a pretty lame pirate without your hand gone - you wouldn't even be Captain Hook!" She stuck a finger out to point threateningly at him, but she retracted it right away, knowing better than to give him the opportunity to let him grab at her. "Don't you ever talk about him like that again, y'hear me?"
Also, newsflash, his hand wasn't REALLY gone. HE WAS STILL IN THE BODY OF FLAMSTEED. IDIOT CAPTAIN HOOK.
She settled back into her chair, her blood boiling, and caught Toby's mention of getting Hook into the 'boo box.' She nodded once, signaling her approval, and groaned a little at the declaration of war. Just what they needed now, wasn't it?
...Well. Maybe they COULD make that work. It would provide enough of a distraction, if food was flying everywhere, that was for sure. She pulled her lab coat up over her head, trying to use it as a hood as much as she could as the fight started and she peeked over at Tobes who... seemed to be rounding up some troops. OKAY. Soph stayed by his side, her wand in one hand and the carrot still in the other, and she stayed as an avid listener as the group bounced ideas off each other, keeping her head low to avoid flying food. She was glad CB had joined their ranks, and Maddie, of course. Grayson seemed all right, though he had an ego problem, so she wasn't how well THAT would work in a group situation, and Kyroh... was a tricky one to have part of the group since he was so unpredictable-
...Merlin. He shot water AT HOOK. But A RAVENCLAW BOY JUMPED IN FRONT OF IT. What...??? Soph looked to Tobes, alarmed and wondering what kind of orders he would give next - since he was obviously the captain in this situation - and she cast a quick, "Francesco," on the carrot in her hand. Holding the puree. Getting it READY just in case it was NEEDED NOW.
Samantha picked up a mango and pointed her wand at it and said, "Francesco!" It was now a pile of mango mush in her hand which she threw at a nearby Hufflepuff. The mushy fruit had hit its target with a satisfying squishing sound. Samantha then looked at the table for the next food item she would use.
Norah was about to summon another fruit when WHAAAM! A giant slimy ball of mush hit her square in the back. She sniffed it. Something tropical, eh? The second year turned on her heel to see who was behind her ambush and was faced with a girl she didn't recognize. She grinned her and yelled "You're going doooown!" Norah pointed her wand at the table and said "Accio broccoli" before catching the vegetable neatly in her hand and pointing her wand at it. "Francesco!" Ewwww broccoli mush. She shot another wicked grin in the girl's direction and chucked the pulverized vegetable at her arm. Wouldn't want to hit her in the head or anything, that'd just be mean. Watching as the mush made contact with her target, Norah began to giggle at the absurdity of it all. Food fights, honestly. If this was what they did in space she really wouldn't mind being an astronaut at all.
Oh, how we drift away from our friends. And the ones back home play remember when
Sam had noticed that tomatoes had always been a popular weapons choice when it came to food fights so that was the next item she fetched. She picked up the huge tomato and pointed her wand at it whilst saying, "Francesco!" and then she used her wand in a sweeping motion and said, "Depulso!" The tomato puree was flung across the room and hit one of the students on the opposing team. She didn't know if she had hit a Slytherin or a Hufflepuff.

She picked up the huge tomato and pointed her wand at it whilst saying, "Francesco!" and then she used her wand in a sweeping motion and said, "Depulso!" The tomato puree was flung across the room and hit one of the students on the opposing team. She didn't know if she had hit a Slytherin or a Hufflepuff.
Kace was laughing and aimed for Puck and his food hit her. He had really good aim! He was smiling and laughing to himself. He would apologize later. But now as he was planning to hit someone, he realized the tomato puree was aiming right for him. Before he could do a spell he was....
SPLATTTT!!!!!
He was hit with it full in the face. He coughed it out and wiped it from his face. Ergghhh that was gross. He hated tomatoes. He thought whoever aimed that was fair game. He got some pudding puree and aimed at fired and said, "Francesco!" and then he waited to see if it hit any claw or lion in the battle field.

Jasmine had an idea. This time she went for bananas. Bananas would make a nice pasty purée. Could bananas be pureed with the peel? She was about to find out. Taking a bunch of three, Jasmine pointed her wand at them and said, "Francesco" The resulting concoction was even nastier than the other two she had tried. Jasmine made sure to give the mess an extra squeeze, just for good measure.
Seeing a group of enemy students within striking distance, Jasmine rared back and threw the bananas as far as she could. There was so much confusion, it was hard to see exactly where the fruit landed. Hoping that it hit its target, Jasmine surveyed the remaining food for ideas.

It wasn't until two minutes later she'd managed to realized the vegetable was still a vegetable, and yet everyone else's food was no longer in their usual shape. Except, maybe, the Slytherin girl (Dot) she'd helped get her wand in one Astronomy class... was she recollecting fallen food? WHAT EVEN?!
WAIT.
Hold on a minute...
... what... was happening?
She ducked just in time as something came flying at her. You know what? She was a Hogwartian, by definition no one was allowed to hit her with anything because, guess what? She wasn't on anyone's side. Not even Dante's or Pan's or whatever. THERE WAS a bigger issue HERE. The spell had not worked. THAT was tragedy.
How was this francesco spell gonna work for them in the future????! And why was the vegetable still a vegetable no matter how many times she tapped her wand against it and muttered a "Francesco," every single time??? It was an angry and frustrated francesco by now.

Nope. He can't miss again. He needed a taller target so they'll be easier to hit!
Summoning a tomato this time, Ethan quickly transformed it into a not so perfect pureed tomato version, "Francesco!" and threw it across the room, targeting the Ravenclaw Prefect.
She was blocking the rest of his targets, you see. But hey, look! She's an enemy so, yeah. Quickly ducking the rest of the flying food, he summoned an orange next, getting ready for his next hit.

As the group grew, Coral kept her emotions in check and her eyes on Toby and Soph. They were clearly in charge as far as she was concerned and honestly she was 100% okay with that; prefered it, even. But hey, she had her two favorite little buddies, and that really pretty Slytherin boy in their little group. Couldn't be too bad, huh?
She kept quiet as he explained the plan, her eyes darting toward Gabe and Clara every so often... She couldn't help it, okay? "If Soph and that Peter kid teamed up against him, I think that'd be best... If we wanted to go with the talking, not shoving and possibly injuring option." 'Cause blindly pushing him into a closet might end up in him with a concussion if he fell right....... Though, that might make it better. He might stop the nonsense that way.
.......
Did Kyroh just-
Oh wait? Maybe not?
............
Oh.... oh no.
Gabe was now here. And the girl couldn't help but shy away from him some and try to focus her attention elsewhere. Like... on that apple. She grabbed for it, and whispered "Francesco," her wand pointed at it, watching it turn to mush just after Soph did.
She moved closer to Soph, trying to ignore Gabe's struggling to clean himself up, also ignoring the feeling that was yelling at her to help him.

Waving the flag triumphantly above his head, he did a quick scan of the room for the closest thing to a proper mast and leaped off the desk when he found something suitable (a coat rack by the desk).
Colors officially hoisted, it was time to ensure that Peter Pan FINALLY met his doom. TODAY, CAPTAIN JAS HOOK WOULD HAVE HIS REVENGE!

He shot the land-lover a GLARE and stormed passed him. He had no time for sympathizers. It was Pan he wanted now anyway.

Looking around to see if there was something he could use to get everyone's attention - besides his wand, that was not in the cards - he saw a folded paper airplane land near his feet.
The boy's good form was appreciated once more, but no. Foolish boy NO!
"NO! NO TRUCE! I SHALL HAVE MY REVENGE!" he roared before pushing tables and chairs aside as he stomped on. Several of the microscopes and unlit Bunsen burners fell off their stations and went crashing to the floor....
....mostly in pieces.

Marigold could feel that she was almost on the verge of tears because SOMEONE had TAKEN her FAVORITE PROFESSOR and REPLACED HIM with SOMEONE who SHOUTED AT HER and THREW ROCKS. She hadn't been taking notes or anything, just hugging her notebook to her chest as protection and wondering how bad it would be if she started crying. If Hook saw her crying, that it.
She grabbed the first food that she could find - a pear - and took it back to her desk with the sole purpose of turning it into puréed gagunka and THROWING IT at HOOKSTEED.
His glorious back was to the tiny Lost Girl when she hurtled the gunk towards him and was completely unaware of his surroundings until it smacked him right in the back of the head...
AND KNOCKED HIS SMASHING HAT RIGHT OFF HIS HEAD.
"WHO MADE THAT BOO BOO?!" he shouted as he spun around in place. Eyes ablaze once again, he did a few simple calculations - for he was a very learned man - and his gaze followed the best possible tergectery of the gunk until he laid eyes onto a crying Lost Girl. "THERE IS NO CRYING IN THE MIDDLE OF A BATTLE! You must not show weakness or else have the enemy exploit you."
He squinted at her. Oh wait, she was not wearing robes in his favor.
"On second thought. Carry on."
Dismissive hook wave in her direction as he went back to pick up his hat and place it back on his head.

....
Hat returned to its proper place, the Captain was greeted with more mush to the FACE. Roaring with rage, he used his non-hook hand to remove what he could from his face and sent wild looks about the classroom.
"NEW SMEE! I NEED MY SWORD! WHERE IS MY SWORD!?"

Anyways, he didn't really think about the point of the activity at all and just threw it into the air and ran for cover. Where was Kevin? They could tag team it.
AND THEN MORE SMACKED HIM IN THE FACE.
Barking and cursing under his breath, he used the sleeve of his crimson jacket to rub his face and clean off what he could.
Where was his sword!? AND WHERE WAS PETER PAN?!

That should teach him a lesson to never ever steal Aladdin's apple. That was Aladdin's job! Stealing things that he couldn't afford, duh! After he threw the substance at the Captain he quickly ducked back down into his fort again so he wouldn't get shot at. Very cleverly though, he used the bottom corner of the one chair to see if he hit his intended target.
Finally with his wits about him - and mostly because the boy who referred to himself as a street rat had been foolish enough to announce his attack - the man was able to dodge the attack with a simple side step. A terrifying grin spread across his face as he saw where the boy had gone into hiding and he laughed at the ignorant thought that something as feeble as a fort made from chairs and desks could stop HIM.
With one swift movement, he KICKED at one of the desks and continued to laugh. "I'll have myself a whole bushel of apples after I am through with you!"
SPOILER!!: KYROH & THORNTON!

Watching as Maddie picked up the paper airplane he quickly skimmed before following her to Toby and the others.
Maddie. Toby. CB. Thornton. Grayson? Good group he guessed, right? He stayed quiet (which really there was no reason TO be since it was already so loud) as Toby spoke about the plan. It was plan-like alright. But it seemed like it would take forever. And he was wanted to leave NOW.
"Ooooooooor we can do this-" Raising his wand the second year pointed it right at the Professor. "AGUAMENTI!!!!!!!"
A SURE fire way to get the mans attention, right?
Running probably needed to happen.

He stood to answer her...
...but had to quickly duck once more as mush flew threw the air toward him, little drops raining down. This was DISGUSTING. Thornton shuddered, looking forward to a long, hot bath.
He cast his eyes over to Tobias once more as he noticed others headed that direction.
Thornton sighed dramatically. He was going to have to go over there and tell them exactly why this was a terrible idea. All it would do was escalate everything. He overheard 'healer' and 'Romanos' thinking that yes, those were good ideas, but plenty of people were fleeing - why did they need to stuff the poor man, however out of his mind he was, in a closet before someone could go get help?
He rehearsed this in his head as he moved from desk to desk, trying to get closer.
BUT...
"NO, KYROH!" Thornton jumped up from his spot on the floor, in front of the professor, and before he could doubt himself for a moment, grabbed his wand and cast. "Protego." The shield held for a moment, then faded quickly, but just long enough to take a significant blast of water.
Staring at his wand hand, Thornton blinked. "I... I did it.." he whispered, eyes wide, oblivious to the rest of the room. "I.. I did actual magic."
Too bad he was now standing tall, in the line of fire, paying no mind at all to the food.
SPLAT
right in the side of the head.
Still kicking at the desks where the "street rat" was hiding, he heard the roar of some other nonsense word and spun in place to see the one timid boy pointing his stick wand thing towards him and a large puddle of water surrounding the area.
A smirk grew across the man's face, turning his mustache upwards and his eyes had a somewhat familiar twinkle in them. A twinkle that was fleeting and almost gone before anyone could really notice.
"GOOD FORM, MY BOY! GOOD FORM!" he applauded the dressed in blue robes Lost Boy who had apparently defended him from...something.
His eyes shot to the other boy. The one who had CLEARLY launched the attack and the pirate's eyes were on fire once more. "YOU! YOU DARE GO AGAINST YOUR CAPTAIN?!"

"He is not replaceable, you... you codfish!" she spat. PROPER TERMINOLOGY AND EVERYTHING. "Cry a bit more about your hand, why don'tcha? You'd be a pretty lame pirate without your hand gone - you wouldn't even be Captain Hook!" She stuck a finger out to point threateningly at him, but she retracted it right away, knowing better than to give him the opportunity to let him grab at her. "Don't you ever talk about him like that again, y'hear me?"
Also, newsflash, his hand wasn't REALLY gone. HE WAS STILL IN THE BODY OF FLAMSTEED. IDIOT CAPTAIN HOOK.
...
He was just about to storm after the little brat when the shrill voice of the Lost Girl he had once called a lady rung in his ears.
"I do not CRY, girl," he hissed. "But OF COURSE Hook is not my true name. To reveal who I really am would even at this date set the country in a blaze!" Foolish girl. She reminded him of Peter Pan's Wendy. Insolent little brat.
"That is the last time that YOU shall speak to me that way!" he sneered as he reached for his sword once again....and found himself once again empty handed.
"NEW SMEE!!!!!"

She took another bite and wiped a bit of pureed... something off her cloak. It wasn't nice to get her dirty, not when she hadn't done anything to deserve it. War was stupid.
Oh, hullllllllllo, Prince Toby and Freckles under the desks. Red ta-taed at them with a little wave and shrug of her shoulders before dropping the rest of her apple in her basket. Now what? OH... half a carrot. That went into the basket too.
"Landlubbers. Batten the hatches." She was going to make such an excellent pirate. Wait until she told her gran.
Spotting the intelligent little Lost Girl under the table, he pointed his hook at her and glared.
"YOU! Instead of gathering food MAKE YOURSELF USEFUL AND CAPTURE THAT GIRL!" he sneered as he pointed his hook towards the Lost Girl who had just sealed her fate (feeheeheeny). He would deal with her and the others after he had had his way with Peter Pan.
"Oooooooooh Peter...come out come out wherever you aaaaaare. Let us end this little game once and for all..."
OOC: 24 hour warning to try and wrap up this "activity". I will try to post again before I go to bed in approximately 12 hours.

Never mind the fact she couldn't actually find the connection with food fighting and Astronomy. That didn't matter. A little fun never hurt anyone. She caught Thorton's frown but before she could respond, she heard her name being yelled over the masses.
Zeke? "Arrr Matey?" Did she speak Pirate just now? Yup. Why not? When in Rome, right? The Professor--no matter how mental, had made her second in command, given her ice-cream and the power to shoot at it people. She'd build him a bloody plank if he asked her to!
Which reminded her...where was that list she'd been writing for him?

Watching Ethan fire, Lex, finally remembered her own mush of food she'd pureed before Zeke caught her attention. He was in green and fair game. Good enough for her. "Depulso!" She sent the crushed peach much hurtling in his direction and waited for the satisfying splat she'd been hearing for the past half an hour. Hate to say it, but it was music to her ears...you know, next to the shouts of displeasure and ...and...hang on why was Kyroh casting Aguamenti? Surely the kid wasn't that slow?

Sweet Circe that was a lot of yelling.
This second in command wouldn't work if he started going on like she was a personal assistant. Alexa played no such roles and the Professor needed to cool it a little. What was he even on about?--OHHHH his sword.
The wand.
He thought she was giving it back? AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Good one She wouldn't be able to aim at people if she gave it back and he'd actually be able to hurt others so the Gryffindor did the next best thing, she conjured a shiny metal rod. Might hurt like Merlin knows what if it smacked someone but no permanent damage; it didn't have that much weight.
"Yer new shiny sword, Cap'n, polished with the sweat 'a yer enemies!" Always the helpful Smee, see?

Peter is Dante? And why was Hooksteed looking for him? Merlin. It sucks to be a pureblood sometimes. Time to puree the orange he just summoned! “Francesco!” As the food turned into mush, Ethan looked up to target his next enemy. But as soon as he raised his head, something icky was hurtling towards him.
DONK!SPLAT!
Ethan winced, and dared to taste what it was. Well, at least it was Peach and yummy. NOT raw meat or any of those seafood stuff. Wiping the remnants of the pureed fruit on his face, the Slytherin scanned the room for another target.

Holding the puree. Getting it READY just in case it was NEEDED NOW.
What was Sophie doing standing there? Merlin’s beard. Perfect target! He did have reservations about flinging the pureed orange in his hand, but this was a friendly game, yes? “Depulso!” Miss or not, hopefully Sophie won’t take it against him.
Meep.
Now…to get that violent and LOUD Captain. “Accio meat!” Mwehehehehe.

MASHED FOOD BITS GOING EVERYWHERE!! And Zander didn't have any ammunition! But... The fruits were so far away and just-- was it worth it? Was it worth the trouble of getting hit? Possibly. Possibly not. But alas, he couldn't just sit here and do nothing at all!! SIGH. Exhaling rather loudly, the Gryffindor RAN for the fruit!
But just as he got to the table... There was so much to choose from! Apples? Bananas? Everything. Hm. OR he could even take more than one and just stack up! That way, he wouldn't have to trek out in the open every time! Walking back with a pile would be risky, but then again so would coming back around this way every time he needed to reload.
So stacking was the way to go!!
A couple of bananas..... A couple of apples.... Ooh were those pairs? He'd take a pair of those too (hehe, pun SO intended). There was so much screaming going on behind him, but he was trying to reload. So eh.

However, she'd tugged him upright, anyway...and in that glimpse, he saw Ruby darting out the door. He couldn't have rightfully explained the relief he felt. Good. She would be safe...but that was soon replaced with.......
SHE LEFT ME BEHIND, THAT.....
It had only taken a second. A SPLIT SECOND.
Something...warm...hit him in the back of the head...and Gabe fell forward at its momentum; his glasses knocked askew. He froze in place....STILL trembling and shaking...not thinking....just.....stock still.
...............
What..................?
In the next instant, he was hit again...and that seemed to jolt him out of his stunned state; eyes darting around quickly for the source. He needed to...get out...BUT THERE WAS NO WAY. He'd need to...maybe hide? until this was over. It just didn't look like there was a way out at this point. He was too far away from the door...and his classmates had lost their minds. He actually didn't feel...safe walking towards the door....What if they got creative and threw something besides food?
Gabe tugged away from Clara hard, eyes wide and WILD...turning on the spot to run....and find a desk to hide under...but slipped and started sliding across the slicked-with-food floor...

He was hit with it full in the face. He coughed it out and wiped it from his face. Ergghhh that was gross. He hated tomatoes. He thought whoever aimed that was fair game.

……….Why wasn’t he moving?
If they didn’t make a break for it NOW there was the possibility that this could get worse … whatever this was … and THEN what would they do? They couldn’t just hide under tables for ever. It wasn’t practical. Why couldn’t Gabe see that?
When she finally did manage to drag him upwards and an inch closer to the door, he seemed to lock in place and no matter how desperately she tugged on his hand, he just wouldn’t move. That’s when she noticed Ruby making a swift exit. Without them … without Gabe … Now Clara, being an only child, didn’t know a lot about siblings and what being a sibling meant … but she was pretty sure that abandoning a sibling in a DEADLY food fight thing was breaking some sort of rule … but she didn’t have time to even narrow her eyes at her because suddenly she was flying forward.
A few seconds later she straightened up …
... Gabe had been hit … twice …
And he was jerking his hand free from hers … looking around wilding …
… …….. Then running … then sliding …
All Clara could do was stare at him. She didn’t even care enough to try and cover herself. She felt guilty. She felt hurt. She felt scared. She didn’t know what to DO now … he wasn’t even giving her a second look … she wanted to leave right NOW but she honestly didn’t feel comfortable leaving without him. Eden had left already, so really, Gabe was the only one here that she cared to protect … or whatever it was she was trying to do … she ---
SPLAT!
SHE WAS DOWN.
Clara had been hit by food from enemy unknown (Kace) and had collapsed against a desk, hitting her hip hard against it in the process. She let out a wounded noise that was somewhere between a scream and a yelp and didn’t move … just remained curled up over the table … this was why she’d wanted to leave straight away. Ouch.

Marigold was just super weirded out. Like, WHY was she being YELLED AT (and more traitorous tears slipped out of her eyes) and WHY was she SUDDENLY...not being yelled at? Like, that was weird. She was hearing whispers coming from Toby's direction, so she picked up another fruit and said "Francesco," several times before a mush was created, which she lobbed at the Captain not-Flamsteed person. She shuffled over to Toby and other people, and muttered out of the side of her mouth, "WhatarewedoingandcanIhelp?"
"Accio Potato... Accio Carrot... Accio Apple..." On and on and on Toby summoned the food, filling the pockets of his robes and lab coat until he was left holding a large, solitary potato. Okay... he was armed.
Toby was a kid that could EASILY DEAL with fast-paced, chaotic environments, but this was just making his head SPIN. But he was visibly very calm, which was strange considering his usual not-calm demeanor. Still, his thoughts were all over the place. Though... he managed a little smile at Red when he caught her eye, because his manners still went that far. Oh, and Marigold was here too, MORE PEOPLE. GOOD.
"We're all good," Toby nodded to Gabe's question, glancing around at everyone and feeling pretty confident in his assessment. And Gabe sounded a little less than okay. Shaky voice and all. "I think it's best if we provide a distraction, everyone aiming for Airey, and then whoever wants to go, just run for it, yeah? And maybe get... someone." Like Truebridge, or the Healer, or Romanos, 'cause the latter seemed friendly with Airey. "The door's open, so whoever wants to run-" glances at Kyroh and Maddie in particular there "-should make a break for it as soon as we go for Airey. And then... maybe a second wave. If we provoke him enough to chase us, one of us can lead him to the cupboard and lock him in. We need to get that Peter kid to help if we can. Hoo-... Airey seems obsessed with him."
Right, so now they just had t- KYROH NO!
Toby watched with WIDE EYES as the second year Ravenclaw jumped up and went straight on the offensive. WELL. That was one way of getting started.
But that Thornton kid was... protecting Hook? (And using MAGIC quite well, which was ENCOURAGING and something Toby would have pointed out, if not for the situation.) Toby... could sort of maybe understand the motivations there, but Hook... was out of control. They needed to gET HIM INTO THE BOO BOX.
"Charge or run, guys. He can't get all of us." Or... y'know, they could stay back and fire from here, in case theat wasn't true. "Here goes, I guess..." Their cover was sort of blown by now anyway.
Without further ado, Toby darted out from under the desk and headed for Kyroh and Hook. As he charged (and skidded a little in the mess that was the classroom floor) he pointed his wand at the large potato in his hand and turned it to a large dollop of mush, before launching it STRAIGHT at Hooksteed's face and stepping in front of Kyroh so he was between the two, looking much more confident about this spur-of-the-moment idea than he felt. Already he was getting an apple out his pocket, ready to turn it to mush to throw again. He was incredibly hesitant about using any other magic; this was STILL a teacher, after all. Deep down. Very... very deep down.
"Mutiny!" Would Airey run at him? Could Toby lead him to the cupboard? ... Probably no, he seemed to be pretty unpredictable, this Hook guy, but Toby would never have let Kyroh face him alone. Protector urges, y'know. "Down with Hook!"
Might want to start running soon, Ky. Please. We like our Ravenclaws alive.

Possibly not. But alas, he couldn't just sit here and do nothing at all!! SIGH. Exhaling rather loudly, the Gryffindor RAN for the fruit!
But just as he got to the table... There was so much to choose from! Apples? Bananas? Everything. Hm. OR he could even take more than one and just stack up! That way, he wouldn't have to trek out in the open every time! Walking back with a pile would be risky, but then again so would coming back around this way every time he needed to reload.
So stacking was the way to go!!
A couple of bananas..... A couple of apples.... Ooh were those pairs? He'd take a pair of those too (hehe, pun SO intended). There was so much screaming going on behind him, but he was trying to reload. So eh.
Norah wiped leftover fruit and veggie mush from her hands on the front of her robes and regained a grip on her wand. WHO NEXT? Muahaha. As she pondered her next target, the second year muttered "accio bananas" under her breath and caught a bunch neatly as they came hurtling towards her. It really was convenient that she didn't have to go alllll the way to the front of the room. The second year noticed a blond Gryffindor lurking by the food and her face split into a mischievous grin. What a perfectly wide-open target. Norah pointed her wand at the bananas, said francesco," and armed herself with banana mush.
Throwing her arm behind her head, she lunged forward and threw the banana purée at the boy's arm. Apparently her aim still needed a little work, because the splatter of fruit whacked him on the side of the head instead of on the arm. Whooooops. It did match his hair though. Heh. Grinning sheepishly, Norah called "Sorry!" over the racket in the room. Wasn't very customary war behavior but ohhh well.
She would be willing to bet that many of the dramatics going on around her were all Ravenclaws. Surely, she's already won before placing any bets, but she didn't want to look and point fingers, mainly because... what even was this stupid spell that failed to work?!
NEVER IN HER SEVEN YEARS at this school had a spell failed her so miserably.
Who's being dramatic now, hmmm? Either way, she had noticed Tobias and some others were seeking refuge under the desks, tables, whatever, and she did the same. Perhaps she needed to focus more and it would help. People being excruciatingly loud didn't help one bit. It was food, you know? This wasn't an actual war. No need to be so loud. Dementors were better than this whole thing. At least she managed a spell back then. A very powerful one, even.
Back to give this another go between madness all around. "Francesco," she said, while tapping her wand on this vegetable and... well, FINALLY. Now, what was she supposed to do with it?
(post 3) We got hit + still trying to figure things out

Oh, he'd take some of those. And maybe some of the vegitables too, those would come in handy. They'd probably be a lot easier to throw too. Or not. Nevermind, all the mushy stuff looked the same in the end didn't it? Ahem. Anyways. Soon the pile in his arms grew bigger and bigger and just when he was turning around to get back to his--
SPLAT!! THWACK!! And right on the head too.
And the hit most definitely threw his balance off because he was trying to juggle his arm full of fruits and veggies, while STILL trying to keep on his feet.... But of course... Nothing ever ends well with this Gryffindor. Every single thing he worked so hard on piling up went flying into the air (not like that fake flying that Flailsteed was going on about, but the real kind) and fell all over the ground. Uh oh. Turning to look at the girl who had hit him, Zander didn't really do anything. Honestly he was kind of surprised. She was so little, but that throw was pretty darn strong.
Oh goodness. Banana mush. Banana mush in the eyes ABORT MISSION BANANA MUSH IN THE EYES!!!
And uh, Zander was on the floor? Collecting everything he dropped. He wasn't going to abandon his hardwork after he had gotten so far. Or mostly just after collecting so much because really he didn't really make it that far in the end, just a few inches away from the desk with all the food. Heh. Oops.

Soph found comfort in CB moving closer to her, and she turned her whole head (since the entirety of her head aside from her face was shielded by her lab coat) to smile at her and her support of Soph being the one to take down Hooksteed with the help of PETER PAN. Ha! THAT would be a story to tell.
She felt a splat! of something hit her lab coat (thanks, Ethan), but she didn't bother to see where it came from - she was huddled in a group of people, so of course they were easy targets. Tobes was talking hurriedly again, so Soph paid close attention to their attack plan and stole one of his apples to pocket it, when-
Hooksteed was ordering Dot to... CAPTURE her?
................
Soph LAUGHED aloud at that, obviously finding that very, very amusing, and pointed a finger at Hook, giving Dot a he's so funny, isn't he? look. Because he WAS. Hilarious. Dot wouldn't touch Sophie - they were potions buddies - so Soph didn't even worry about it.
...She WAS a little worried about the fact that LEX just gave HOOK a metal rod though. WHY WAS SHE ENCOURAGING THAT? Was she back to being her Mistress of Evil self?! Aaaaaaaaand TOBES WAS CHARGING HOOK. MER-LIN. "Someone get a professor, a proper one!" she told the mutinous group, giving CB an encouraging nudge before pulling the lab coat off her head, hopping up, and charging after the Hufflepuff, finally launching the pureed carrot in her hand also at Hooksteed's face.
Aaaaaaaaaand, though she stopped in the middle of the room before getting to Hook, she promptly pulled the stolen apple from her pocket, jabbing a quick, "Francesco," at it, and launched THAT at him, TOO, within seconds. MORE DISTRACTION. But... probably... not necessarily the best idea if Tobes was trying to lure him. BUT SHE COULD RUN FOR THE CUPBOARD, TOO, IF PURSUED.

THERE SHE WASSSS!!!
Zeke ducked his head low and then RAAANNN through throngs of people to reach the Head Girl's side.
SPOILER!!: Lex

Next to shooting each other down that time they flew over the lake, this had to be one of the most epic Astronomy classes she'd had. Never mind the fact she couldn't actually find the connection with food fighting and Astronomy. That didn't matter. A little fun never hurt anyone. She caught Thorton's frown but before she could respond, she heard her name being yelled over the masses.
Zeke? "Arrr Matey?" Did she speak Pirate just now? Yup. Why not? When in Rome, right? The Professor--no matter how mental, had made her second in command, given her ice-cream and the power to shoot at it people. She'd build him a bloody plank if he asked her to!
Which reminded her...where was that list she'd been writing for him?
Watching Ethan fire, Lex, finally remembered her own mush of food she'd pureed before Zeke caught her attention. He was in green and fair game. Good enough for her. "Depulso!" She sent the crushed peach much hurtling in his direction and waited for the satisfying splat she'd been hearing for the past half an hour. Hate to say it, but it was music to her ears...you know, next to the shouts of displeasure and ...and...hang on why was Kyroh casting Aguamenti? Surely the kid wasn't that slow?
Sweet Circe that was a lot of yelling.
This second in command wouldn't work if he started going on like she was a personal assistant. Alexa played no such roles and the Professor needed to cool it a little. What was he even on about?--OHHHH his sword.
The wand.
He thought she was giving it back? AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Good one She wouldn't be able to aim at people if she gave it back and he'd actually be able to hurt others so the Gryffindor did the next best thing, she conjured a shiny metal rod. Might hurt like Merlin knows what if it smacked someone but no permanent damage; it didn't have that much weight.
"Yer new shiny sword, Cap'n, polished with the sweat 'a yer enemies!" Always the helpful Smee, see?
Hehe, pirate talk.. yeah, he could have a crack at that. "Made the Captain an offer and he said it'd be good form to ask you first," and so here he was, asking and all that jazz. "D'you mind if I be your... second mate? first mate? mate?... err... ASSISTANT Smee... like a MiniSmee?" As in, he was here to help her do whatever she wanted. All in service of the Captain of course. Heh.
Zeke added a quick salute before ducking as some more sludgey stuff came flying out of nowhere. Probably not the best time to be chatting.
He caught sight of a banana, just left for dead on the floor. Once it was in his hand, Zeke pointed his wand at the fruit and turned that to sludge too.. ahem, puree. "Francesco." Then quickly, as if it was a grenade about to go BOOOOOOOOOOOM... he ditched it at a Puffer girl (Lotus/Lockhartian). Hehehehehe.
