Slacker
Who: Danny Harris
Where: Lake
When: September 16, lunchtime
Status: Open, ongoing

Summary: No.

He supposed he should be studying. No, actually, Danny knew he should be studying for the precise reason that he had something resembling a quiz next period. Funny how he couldn't be bothered and was instead spending his lunch hour sitting by the lake with his guitar plucking out a tune at random and gazing out over the water, something that could very easily not be described as studying. His books were in reach, if you wanted to look at it from that perspective; they were haphazardly piled beside him though he didn't spare them a single glance, preferring instead to pour himself into his idle musical pursuits and let his thoughts wander.

Hazel eyes were turned down to his guitar, though he didn't really need to watch his fingers. But something in paying attention to what he was doing made him a little less conscious of what eyes might or might not be watching him.

"Found a bit that they'd wrapped around dishes," he admitted, "Old stuff that no one cared about and they used for breakables. Think granddad might have kept them but I'm not sure. Either way, I read a bit and now I'm hooked. I'm surprised you got the reference; no one does."

Well, no one their age, anyways. Occasionally he ran into an older muggle who understood that of which he spoke, but even that was a rarity. He smiled genuinely to her, quite pleased.

"Dad was a bit of a comic strip buff," she explain, a bit giggly. "I've got a bunch of old stuff - Garfield, Dennis the Menace, Archie, For Better or Worse..." she grinned a bit. "My personal favourites are Calvin and Hobbes..." she started to say before she stopped. Maybe he only knew Peanuts.

"Too bad no one ever gets the references," she said, a bit sadly. "They should teach about comics in Muggle Studies!" she said, suddenly enthused. "Than more people would get it!"

	"Maybe you should suggest it to Professor Silver," he said lightly, "She might take it to heart and add it to her lesson plan. She's pretty nice, actually." He did wonder if she'd do that and he'd see comics in his next Muggle Studies class. Sometimes he wondered why he took the class, but he was acing it so he wasn't about to look a gift horse in the mouth. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"You think?" Bryn asked, her expression going thoughtful as she went over that in her head. She did think that comics would be a beneficial thing to go over in class - well, from her outlook anyway.

Making a split decision, she hopped to her feet, deciding that before she got distracted, she would go and see Professor Silver and mention the comic idea to her. She reasoned there was still a strong likelihood she'd get distracted anyway, but she figured she'd at least try.

"Maybe I'll do that now," she said, to explain why she had suddenly hopped to her feet. She grinned at Danny. "Wanna come with? Or are you going to stay here and play for a bit longer? Maybe I can go and come back? Unless you're going somewhere else, then maybe I could..."

She reminded herself that she really should let him answer, and fell silent.

He chuckled softly.

"No, I'm going to stay here a little while longer, ride out lunch," he replied, "Tell Professor Silver I said hi, though."

He wondered kind of vaguely if she always worked weekends, but it was a moot point; he wasn't going to go wandering in random areas of the castle on a Saturday all that often. And soon there'd be quidditch and then he'd do it even less. Good all round, really.
