Hogwarts: Covered Bridge, early evening

[atypicalwarlock.livejournal.com]

It's after dinner and studying that Aloysius Crumrin (7th year, Slytherin) takes himself outside to the Covered Bridge for a smoke and perhaps a bit of woolgathering, though he'd never admit it. There is drizzle in the air that promises a wet evening but he is enjoying it as it reminds him of his home in California.

Company wouldn't be a bad thing really, a fact he might even admit to.

"True, but it works and most people wouldn't think of that approach for teaching either."

"At least he hasn't substituted ingredients. Well not yet anyway."

"I wouldn't put it past him to put out two very similar ingredients and see who catches the wrong one."

"Now there's an idea and something to watch out for. Are you sure you're a Gryffindor? That's a pretty sneaky mind you have there." It's meant as teasing and Aloysius hopes it's accepted as such. His face doesn't show it but he hadn't meant to say that last bit out loud.

Will shrugs and smiles, it doesn't quite reach his eyes,

"I've had some times when I need to be sneaky myself. I'd rather not be."

Aloysius gives Will an appraising look before replying, "I shall keep that in mind. It might surprise you to find I prefer the direct approach myself though it rarely seems to serve."

"We all do what we need to when we need to."

"Very true," Aloysius replies as a gust of wind blows rain down the neck of his cloak. He shivers before saying, "And I think I've had enough of this rain, I'm heading inside. I leave the bridge in your more than capable hands young Scarlett."
