[This wouldn't be Anders' first time getting a talking to or losing House points should Professor Doe wag her finger and decide to put an end to his latest mischief instead, but that doesn't stop him from smiling approvingly when she gives him the opportunity to plead his case (or dig himself in deeper, either one).
This is why he likes her, she's fun. Not like some of the staff that have quick trigger fingers for sending students to detention.]
I can trust you to keep a secret, can't I, Professor Doe? Collaboration between Houses is always so moving.
[Tone lowering to a conspiratorial pitch, he glances around the common room, though he already the assembled Gryffindor students won't tattle on him without a reason. He knows where they sleep.]
It's a family-friendly interior design project, you'll like it. Here's the game plan: replace the furniture with giant pumpkins. "But where will the students sit?" you're thinking. "That sounds like a troublesome prank." Oh, but wait! The best part is yet to come.
[Pulling his wand from his robes, Anders points it at the pumpkin and utters a Spongify! Then he pokes it. The tip of his wand pushes against the soft surface of the pumpkin, now as squishy as a couch cushion.]
The look on Professor Weller's face when he sees his softening charm put to good use! Just picture it. He'll get a kick out of it. Come on, we need to keep the old man on his toes. Wouldn't want him thinking his House isn't learning anything.
