Between juggling his responsibilities during the last couple of years, and more so near the end of each semester when exams were around the corner and he was in his usual state of stress over achieving decent grades, Flavio couldn't remember the last time he fed the resident group of ducks at the lake. Focusing on the subjects required for his desired career, and knowing one small mistake could mean ruining the future he envisioned for himself was leading him to stress more over his grades that year than any year previously. Thus, with the more overwhelming pressure he felt on his shoulders, the more he thought he needed to deviate from what was fueling it, at least for a little while, and he couldn't see a better way to do this than feeding the ducks. It would bring a calming sense of nostalgia and a feeling that everything would turn out alright in the end, amidst all of the madness. Not only that, time outside and away from the library would theoretically recharge his mind and allow him to return to studying with a newfound enthusiasm. So Flavio therefore couldn't see any reason not to return to the lake and immerse himself in an old escape. He didn't need much more convincing than that, and headed down from Ravenclaw tower to the lakefront with a bag of seeds in his pocket and a feeling of contentment that this was exactly what he needed.
The weather was growing colder as New Zealand headed further into autumn and the season verged onto winter, but in spite of this it was a reasonably sunny day. Flavio was optimistic the weather was still warm enough that a few ducks still remained at the lake. Fortunately his optimism was justified and there were indeed a few ducks swimming around. Flavio brought out the bag of seeds from his pocket, reaching in and producing a handful that he scattered along the surface of the lake and the water's edge. As the seeds floated in the water and the ducks began to notice what was happening, Flavio smiled to himself, watching happily as they helped themselves to the food .
