“You know if you brushed up on some solid broom skills you could fly to different places. I know silly ways of travel like portkeys and apparating exist but, lemme tell you, there’s nothing quite like seeing the world from up above like a bird.” Grinning as, without missing a beat, he had managed to bring brooms and the such back into the conversation, August spread his arms out slightly to mimic a bird and further add emphasis on his point. Although he did keep it short because it seemed it was hard for his odd ways -not- to attract attention and he didn’t want people to think Persephone was associating with a complete nutter. Only Nate a few Hufflepuffs were given such a delightful treatment.
As the conversation turned into the mention of a challenge, August found himself in a tough spot. It was hard not to accept almost any kind of challenge [something that over the years had resulted in quite a few troublemaking incidents for him]. This type of challenge however involved real work... and not just merely doing something stupid for some good laughs. Plus it wasn’t like he could really win against someone so academically inclined. She’d probably have the spell mastered ages before he could even hope to get anything that resembled an animal. They’d have to make an eighth year just for him to even be around to show her.
The sight of her smirk and raised eyebrow made it impossible to turn down though. He’d would just have to treat this in the same competitive ways he would Quidditch - and hope his obsessive nature would help out in the end. “I don’t know, you aren’t going to go off crying when you get out shined are you?” Smugly beaming over at Persephone, August shrugged slightly before adding in the extra punch to get under her skin. “I mean girls are so fragile... I’d feel awful if you end up in tears once I win with my amazingly giant lion.” He doubted she was the type to cry easily but also hoped Persephone wasn’t hiding some kind of sensitive side either. August knew he would actually feel utterly horrible to be the one responsible for bringing a girl like Persephone to tears - although he still wasn't quite sure why.

August is currently recovering from amnesia. For the past year and seven months he's been living under the name "Peter" as a LC muggle. He is very slowly remembering bits and pieces of his old life, and thusly will probably not recall your character at all as of right now.
