 A set of paths link the Courtyard to almost every area of the Grounds. Walking upon these stone covered paths, lined with all sorts of trees is a lovely way to clear your mind after a long day of classes. This is a quiet area of the Grounds with the soft sound of leaves rustling in the wind or lightly crunching below your feet. Doesn't the air just seem fresher around here somehow?
Take a walk with a friend, find an unoccupied bench to read a book, climb one of the many trees, smell the roses or play hide and seek in the thick vegetation. Be sure not to trample any of the flowers unless you personally want to hurt the Groundskeeper's feelings.

MOOOOOOooooOOOOooOoODY.
Those were the ~vibes~ Józef Kowalski was giving off right then, his skateboard over his shoulder as he dragged his feet towards the pathways. It wasn't a comfortable place to carry his skateboard, but it was a position borne from habitual carrying of his broomstick. His broomstick that was going to prove USELESS that year due to the lack of Quidditch.
He understood. He GOT IT. The pitch was in no condition and blah blah blah. Didn't mean he liked it, though. Because he definitely didn't. The fact that he had barely clung to his place on Polands under-17 team was not one he was bandying about, but it was one he was thinking about a lot. After two years of no Quidditch, the likelihood of being benched increased and therefore he was already dreading the summer.
Of course he'd still taken his broom out a few times but it was increasingly making him annoyed, and so today he pulled the skateboard from under his bed instead. Dropping it to the ground, he started to build up momentum, not caring that this was where people walked. They could get out of his way.

He’d come out for a casual stroll, to see some daylight and get some fresh air in his lungs before he spent the rest of the morning marking what were probably going to be an underwhelming collection of second year essays. He was, however, looking forward to his one-on-one NEWTS tutoring later that afternoon, and as he meandered along the path from the castle, his gaze sought out possible ingredients for inspiration as to what they might cover.
Spotting a clump of aconite at the side of the path, Noble carefully gathered up his dark robes, and crouched down to pick a few sprigs and put them in a vial. Unfortunately, he was right in the path of the skateboarder picking up speed behind him…and somewhat oblivious to them too.

Unfortunately, he was right in the path of the skateboarder picking up speed behind him…and somewhat oblivious to them too. Józef was cheering up a little as he gathered speed: the wind created was waking him up a little, and the sheer exhilaration he was getting was helping. The path was fairly clear, too, and, although he would have loved to knock a second year or two over, he knew this was a good thing.
Mainly because he wouldn't be able to control the board after a collision.
The fifth years mind had drifted a little as he rode down the path, but it was pulled back to the present when he saw a figure crouch in front of him. As he moved the board in order to avoid the figure, thinking only how stupid the person was, he collided into a bench.
Better than the Professor of course, but still - winded and wincing, Jó lay on the ground where he'd fallen, cursing under his breath the idiot that had got in his way.

Sprigs gathered and safely deposited in his pocket, Noble was just about to stand when he heard the sounds of wheels on pavement and the smack of that collision. He swivelled as he stood, robes flowing and brow quickly furrowing. Between the bench, skateboard and winded Gryffindor, it didn't take too much to deduce what had happened.
Well, except for the bit where he was the cause.
"Need a hand up?" he inquired.

"Need a hand up?" he inquired. Józef rubbed a hand across his face. Before he'd fallen, he hadn't gotten a good glimpse of who exactly had been on the path, just that someone was in the way. Now, however, blinking up at the figure looking down at him, the Gryffindor was glad they hadn't collided.
But he was even more annouyed. SURELY a Professor should be more aware of their surroundings?!?! And not just CROUCH down in people's way?!!?
The idea that this was his own fault didn't cross his mind, of course.
Pushing himself to a seated position, Jó took another few moments to catch his breath before replying. "No, this is exactly where I wanted to be."
Duh.

A hint of amusement might have played on Noble's lips as he considered Józef on the floor at that reply. He hardly looked the most comfortable, and Noble was distinctly reminded of a certain older Kowalski he'd once had the pleasure of teaching. Too stubborn for their own good, the both of them...though admittedly, Flynn had mellowed and matured since then.
"As you wish," he replied, before reaching down to pick up the skateboard that had rolled in his direction. His daughter had had one as a kid, but it wasn't an activity he'd ever been interested in. Cricket and football were his sports of choice. "I assume this is yours?"

Cricket and football were his sports of choice. "I assume this is yours?" Józef's eyes were rolling so hard they practically fell into the back of his skull. Sitting on the floor, he readjusted his limbs a little, fighting against a wince that told him at least one of his elbows was particularly bruised. Which was better than broken, as it had been on previous falling-from-skateboard occaisions.
At least it wasn't going to interfer with Quidditch.
He did manage to bite his tongue though, not sure calling his Professor 'Sherlock' would go down well: it was not a reference he understood, but the saying was one he used often. Instead the fifth year settled with, "You should never assume things, Professor."
Honestly, had no one taught him that before now?
