There are days that I don't feel like much of a wizard.

Then there are days when I complete my senior project and actually finally learn to cast a Patronus and I feel like Merlin or something.

Brilliant.

[...]

That said, I do need a break. Unless anyone's in urgent need of Hermeticism tutoring, I'm planning to cancel my hours today. So let me know?

[Yancey]

Are you busy tonight? I've got some celebrating to do and it'd be better with you along. You're the fun one, after all.

[Seniors in Hermeticism]

Would any of you be willing to look over my project? I finished writing everything up this afternoon and I'd appreciate a second set of eyes. I can return the favor.

[Lucas]

Thanks again for your help. You're a brilliant teacher.

Congratulations, Lach. That means you can kick back for the rest of the year, eh?

[Lachlan]
I'm only the fun one if you think jousting's a good time, but I've always got time to spare for you.

[lachlangalbraith]

There's still classwork and finals to worry about, you know. But for tonight, maybe.

[Yancey]

Who doesn't think jousting is a good time? [...] Please don't call me on that.

Thanks. I don't have any ideas yet. But I'm sure we can think of something.

[hotdish]

A solid month before all that at least.

[Lachlan]
Oh, yeah, that's what I said.

You Azurcrests have partying in your blood. I'm surprised you didn't have something big in mind immediately!

[lachlangalbraith]

Classes are on hold, are they?

[Yancey]

I'm better at planning study groups than parties. I'm just here for the emblem.

[hotdish]

I wish. Hardly able to pay attention in those, anyway.

[Lachlan]
That drawn to birds, huh? Well, I'm sure we can brainstorm something. You deserve a cupcake at the very least.

[lachlangalbraith]

I think, as a TA, I might be obligated to lecture you about that.

[Yancey]

[...] Well. Maybe for more than just the emblem. But I'm still not much good at parties. [...] So should we make cupcakes?

[hotdish]

Aw, can't you make an exception?

[Lachlan]
Hey, there's a start! Are you much of a baker? I can handle the decorating, at least.

[lachlangalbraith]

Just this once.

[Yancey]

I know the basics; there's a badge for that. [...] So they'll have swords on them, then?

[hotdish]

Very, very much appreciated.

[Lachlan]
Between you and Paris I'm beginning to regret not joining a scout group when I was young.

I was going to just do birds, but I'm more than happy to give the bird swords.

Lancey

[lachlangalbraith]

It's never too late? I can ask mum to send the books over. You have to start as a Beaver, though.

Birds with swords sound well exciting.

Lancey

[hotdish]

A bunch of six-year-olds would show me up, Lach.

I can generally agree that anything is improved by putting a bird or a sword on it.

Lancey

[lachlangalbraith]

Only until crafts. Then it'd be your time to shine.

You're done after Charms today, yeah?

Lancey

[hotdish]

Not super reassuring.

Yep! Got event committee, but Ursula won't mind if I skip out.

Lancey

[lachlangalbraith]

Jokes rarely are.

Brilliant. I've got Magizoology after Charms, but then my day's clear. [...] And you don't mind skipping out?

Lancey

[hotdish]

And here I was all ready to take out some kindergarteners, yeah?

Oh, no, not at all. We've finally got our prom theme picked out. So I think it's a good time to take a breather.

Lancey

[lachlangalbraith]

Aye? You bully.

All right. We can start in the Rudiments Class and go from there, then? Too bad we're not having movie night in Astronomy; we could try to sneak you in.

Lancey

[hotdish]

It's a natural defense mechanism when you've got four younger sisters who are all varying levels of inherently evil.

Sounds good! Oh, for sure, we should do that some time!

Lancey

[lachlangalbraith]

Brilliant! I'll see you then. And hopefully we'll get another movie night before the end of the year, then. [...] Think this prom theme is rubbing off on us?

Lancey

[hotdish]

That or teenagers are just naturally inclined to criminal activity.

Lancey

[lachlangalbraith]

So we're just late bloomers?
