Ellie watched as Woopy's brain churned and then a realization hit her, she had stumped him! She had made him think. Apparently it wasn't something he did very often because as he thought, his eyes brightened and instead of talking to her about the lesson she'd taught he blathered on about how she belonged with him. No. No she did not.

And she most definitely did not need a present. But before she could say anything, Woopy had brought a lily pad into her classroom and onto. Her. Desk. A strangled yelp escaped her chest and Ellie's hands fluttered in front of her. "Bad Woopy! No! That's not okay! I have papers there!!" Rushing to it, she yanked the half-dead plant off her desk and flung it into a corner. Her mind raced for a spell that would dry the papers before they got too ruined. Then she remembered the hot air charm and cast it immediately, pointing her wand at the papers and wincing at the smudged ink. She would be struggling to read her students' papers this afternoon.

Pointing at the lily pad in the corner, Eleanor glared at Woopy. "Take that outside. It is not a present and it doesn't belong in my classroom!"
