In House Adler, a particular dorm room, number 302, was currently being occupied by a loud group of friends, that of Mash Burnedead, Finn Ames, Lance Crown, Lemon Irvine and Dot Barrett.

What seemed to be a study session, hosted by Finn and Lance, to try get Mash to study more on magic and flying on broomsticks, rather than working out and/or stuffing his face with cream puffs, had turned into one of gossip (instigated by Lemon) and procrastination (by Mash).

——

Maintaining his usual stoic composure, Lance spoke, arms crossed, sitting beside Mash with a face that read “You better be listening”.

Lance: “Next class is Broomstick Flying. Since you don’t have the magic to fly it … how about you use your strong muscles to propel it forward, then-“

He was cut off by Lemon, who was swooning over Mash, as usual, hugging his left arm with her puppy-dog eyes

Lemon: “Mash-kun!!! Be careful… don’t overexert yourself while flying, okay?”

To the side, making tea, Dot was silently crying inside. Lemon was head over heels in love with Mashle, his good friend (whom he did really enjoy the company of, honest), as she actively ignored him.

Almost squeaking, Finn piped up, timid and nervous as ever, sweatdropping a little

Finn: “Um.. Mash… please listen to Lance-kun… he’s trying to teach you…”

Mash, showing no emotion whatsoever, just nodded for the sake of nodding. It was safe to say that he had absolutely no clue what was trying to be explained to him.
