It chirped and give me no reply. It motioned as if it wanted me to follow her. Problem was, it was in the opposite direction that the centaur took. Who to follow?

It fills perfectly up to the rim of the glass. You cast Immobulus to keep it frozen so you can take a sip and do not spill anything.

It works only too well and dries out all the drinking water as well. You cast Finite Incantatem to stop it from drying out water in other rooms as well...

Still, a sense of unease pervaded my senses. The hair on my arms prickled up. I strained my ears over the clip-clopping noises of the centaur's hooves and heard...

heavy walking sounds sounded right before me. I peered into the darkness just behind the trees...

The tome flies neatly back into its place.

I cast Lumos to find the phoenix feather again.

spooked and ran towards the edge of the trees. I turned towards the noise...

Unfortunately, you pronounced the spell wrong and a heavy tome flies towards your face.

I cast a Shield charm to protect myself.

Sky, is that you?

Innocent. I am ambivalent towards Pokemon.

Combined more than five flavors of ice-cream and ate the concoction?

Thank you Sky for my shinies. I always treasure each and every one that gets added to my collection. *pats his shiny hoard*

Iverian, it was a pleasure working with you on HOL and passing you in the Den's halls. Good luck with all your RL pursuits! :)

To all the rest, congratulations on your shinies too! :D

"I dunno," Maxim gently shook his head from left to right. "I love taking interesting classes," he paused after his emphasis on interesting. "But I think I love grading them even more," Maxim mused. "Must have a lot of teacher blood in me," he grinned and took a swig of pumpkin juice (which lacked the content of his hair, thank you).

Maxim whooped when Sky replaced the roll she so dreadfully stole. Since he knew from his Transfiguration and Charms that food cannot be conjured out of this air, Maxim wondered which poor table lacked a rather delicious look roll.

"Have I thanked you for letting me bother you in basic and Advanced Herbology?" he asked Sky and took one of the rolls out of principle, looking pointedly at his friend before gobbling it down. "The assisting I mean," Maxim explained quickly, "not the general annoyance that comes with me being literally anywhere."
