Pumpkin Deliveries

[Professor Landon Carter]

Landon couldn't believe it had been fifty years since Hogwarts New Zealand had been established. It also marked Landon's twentieth year teaching at the school. He was very excited about all the events that were happening and he was sure that every student was going to have lots of fun. James and Angel had organised a spectacular event involving some pumpkins, and so Landon eagerly thought he would help out with them. He had grown extra pumpkins in his pumpkin patch for the event and was delivering them all down to the lakefront so that the students could make some boats out of them. He used the levitation charm to stack them neatly onto his trolley and pushed them down to the lake. "Does anyone want to help me load some more pumpkins?" he asked some students standing nearby as he unloaded them from the trolley, grateful if at least one of them could put their hand up.

 

[Benicio Matos]

Benicio was happily sitting along the shore, enjoying watching other people work on their boats and go into the lake. He was planning to join soon enough but there was just something peaceful about observing it all for a moment. Hearing his Head of House, Benicio stood up and even though Professor Carter had called out to a group of students standing he called out. "I can help, professor" he smiled. He walked close enough and then picked up a pumpkin. "Do these just go over there?" He asked, glancing at a sizable pile that were being enlarged.

 

[Arachne Westwick]

Arachne had been looking over at the lake with a mixture of envy and trepidation. She wanted to be part of the fun, but paddling around in a boat or even swimming in the lake both seemed like huge steps. She didn't spot any of her friends nearby, so she just watched the celebration quietly. Professor Carter suddenly appeared nearby with a trolley full of pumpkins. She blinked at him, and then at the older boy who helped. Then she decided she could also help. She walked over to the trolley and picked up a pumpkin, but it was heavier than she expected. "Oof." She said, grimacing as she nearly dropped it.

 

[Professor Landon Carter]

Landon beamed as Benicio appeared, ready to help. "Thank you, that's very kind." he said with a smile, watching as he picked up one of the pumpkins. "Yes, just over there will be perfect!" Landon turned to pick up another pumpkin when he saw Arachne out of the corner of his eye who seemed to be struggling with one. He hurried over and took some of the weight from her. "You know, you could even use the levitation charm if you'd like! Do you remember how to do it?" he asked, trying to refresh her memory. It would definitely be a lot more useful than potentially causing any injury with how heavy some of them were.
