[innocent_insanity]

WHO: Kurloz and people at or around the Ravenclaw table!
TONE: Light, silly?
RATING: PG-13 for language
WHEN: Morning 17th February
WHERE: Ravenclaw table, Great Hall
WHAT: Herbert extended a welcome to Kurloz to join him at the Ravenclaw table whenever for chit-chats. Kurloz takes him up on it.

Look at that clown. All covered in skeleton-like face-paint so early in the morning, and on a Sunday of all days! Unfortunately for the intellectual students of Ravenclaw table, that there clown wouldn't be sitting with his fellow strangers in Slytherin.

Nope, he's on his way to join his buddy Herbert in the pond of blue and bronze!

Cue one lanky teen flopping gracefully next to said Ravenclaw with a broad grin and a wave of his hand.

Kurloz eagerly followed, just rolling his eyes at Herbert trying to downplay his coolness. He bumped shoulders with the shorter boy as if to say "hurry up" and "don't be stupid, stupid."

Herbert huffed at Kurloz, looking annoyed, but he didn't protest his work was boring any more. Once they got to the potions, he immediately bustled about, setting up his stuff on one of the tables, and then fetched out a small cage of mice, putting them next to his cauldron and a little wooden box he'd brought out, carved with arithmantic symbols.

Kurloz took a seat on the table, crossing his legs and watching as Herbert set up his equipment. He laid out his paper and quill, charming it again so he could communicate with Herbert.

"Hm? No, they're far too small to eat. But I am going to drain their life energy so I can measure it. I'd like to be able to do it in such a way as it doesn't kill the subject, but the process isn't perfected yet. Mice may be too small for that, anyway - they really haven't got much as it is," Herbert explained, opening the box and puling out a set of wires with small metal clamps on the ends.

"I need to get some larger animals, but people don't really like it when cats or dogs are used in experiments, no matter how important the research," Herbert said, sounding a little annoyed as he reached into the cage of mice and pulled out a little white one by the tail. He then proceeded to put the clamps carefully on the back of the rodent's neck and the base of his tail, pinching the skin lightly and making the small animal squeak and squirm.

Kurloz watched silently, smiling a bit as Herbert arranged the clamps on the mouse.
