Phugs yawned as he entered the feasting hall, "Wow there are actually girls here" he thought to himself as he sat down at the slytherin table and pulled out a book. His previous school was all boys and it annoyed him. He couldn't think about girls though. He had bigger issues to deal with, like learning. He gave a quick glance around. He pulled out a jug of butter beer and started drinking it as he studied. His black hair always got in the way. He didn't know why he didn't trim it. His green eyes stared to try to will himself to memorize a spell.
"Windgardiam Leviosa" he said pointing his Red Wood wand at his jug of butter beer. It flew upward at great speed and broke on the ceiling showering him with butter beer. He sighed and went back to reading. "Well atleast it's my first year here so it's excusable". "I have to remember to wash these robes thoroughly later...."

Ashelle was calmly eating her meal when she heard a loud shattering noise. She turned in time to see a young Slytherin become soaked to the bone in what could only be butterbeer. Strange I wonder where he got that . . . maybe he is a very small 3rd year, she thought. Ashelle abandoned her food to walk over to the new kid.
"Hello, I am Ashelle O'Conner, the Gryffindor Prefect. Couldn't help noticing what happened, may I help you clean your robes off?" Ashelle's fingers twitched to reach for her wand but she didn't want to startle the new student, and so she kept her hand by her side. She looked down at the book he was reading and the scene sparked a memory of her own first few years in school.
"You seem to be very self motivated," she commented. "Have you considered studying on your own? The only Teacher who will refuse to give you a syllabus and tests is the Charms Professor but that's because she tries to have hands-on classes." Ashelle smiled, hoping she wasn't making a bad impression. The last thing she wanted was drama from the boy before her.

The boy looked over to see a woman walking over to him. Probably to laugh at his terrible spell, but he was surprised to notice the genuine smile on her face.
"Hello, I am Ashelle O'Conner, the Gryffindor Prefect. Couldn't help noticing what happened, may I help you clean your robes off?" She said.
Surprised at her kindness Phugsius replied, "My name's Phugsius. Thanks for the offer Ashelle but I think I can handle washing my robes" He laughed nervously. "Yes, I'm hoping that one day my Skill will match my motivation. As for now though I think I should probably learn how to clean my robes off myself since i'll probably be getting them soaked in butter beer on a regular basis" Phugsius smiled.

Ashelle giggled quietly at this, unsure if he meant it as a joke or not. "In that case I should warn you; we have no metal Muggle washing boxes as far as I know. The best spell for robe cleaning -however- is in Spic n' Span; A Compendium of Cleaning Spells, chapter two. You can find the page in the index, as the number escapes me just now. Otherwise I suggest you let the house elves do it at night, when they come to clean. If you leave the dirty ones on a chair by your bed they will be sure to get to them." Ashelle gave him an appraising look for a moment then continued.
"As for skill matching motivation, I am of the opinion that in a truly great wizard, motivation will always be greater than skill, for if you're skill begins to overshadow your motivation you end up thinking you know it all and start believing you haven't anything more to learn. Then when something new is discovered you lose out. I don't like giving out advice randomly but always keep your thirst for learning, with all the magic being unearthed -new and old- it's possible to drink from the well of magical knowledge all your life and never find the bottom of it." She smiled again and gave him a wink.
"If you ever get stuck, come find me. I may not know everything either, but I'd surly like to and we could find the answer together." Satisfied that she'd helped a younger student fulfill their magical destiny, she turned to retreat to her own table.
((OOC: Ashelle isn't quiet a woman yet, she is only in her 6th year. I would have said something in IC but she isn't a Legimend yet, Oh, why that does indeed tickle my fancy!))

"Thank you Ashelle" At this Point Phugsius looked at the fat cooked turkey in front of him and was tempted to try levitating but decided having a turkey bone impale someone wasn't the best idea. He got up and walked out of the feasting hall to go wash his clothes.
(OOC: I figured since he's young anyone older than him would seem like a fully grown adult)
