What: Mikey needs a favour
Mikey walked slowly out through the grounds, nursing the small pricks on the side of his thumb and thinking uncharitable thoughts about his third year class. It hadn't been their fault he'd picked up a hedgehog rather than a pincushion, but they were the ones that had been making enough noise to distract him into doing it. And probably also enough noise to distract anyone else in a three room radius.
He couldn't understand how they managed to be so loud sometimes. Especially as the Ravenclaws were usually quiet enough until they succeeded in getting their task done. Though he hated to admit it, it was the Gryffindors that caused all the trouble. They didn't seem to be able to wave their wands around without yelling about it first. It was a show of how noisy they really were that he'd actually docked points after they'd ignored his first warning. And even that hadn't been particularly relieving or satisfying because as much of a show as he'd made about looking pained, they'd all still stared at him like he was twisting knives into their chests. He sighed even thinking back to it.
Being out in the grounds was helping to soothe his mood, though. The grass was a little wild in places, but mostly it was all exactly as he remembered it. Inside the castle it was sometimes difficult to forget it had been the stage for a battle, but outside everything seemed to have just carried on growing regardless, replenishing itself without much help. It was hopeful in a quiet way that he really liked.
He stopped to knock at Professor Walker's hut, hoping he'd come at the right time and the professor wasn't out in the Forest or up at the castle.
