First day of classes and I'm actually sort of enjoying myself. I don't even know who I am anymore! It happened, Addy. You warned me, but I let it happen!

Going to Potions tomorrow will probably get me back to normal, though.

[Warded to Vee]

So! I know we were planning to do cheer stuff after class today, but I was feeling sort of [...] funny near the end of Animagus Studies. Not bad funny. Just sort of twitchy and tense and weirdly alert funny. I can't explain it. But I think I've almost got it. I feel like I've almost got it.

Think we could practice instead? I know, mark it on your calendar, I'm asking you to study! But I really think I'm close and if we could figure out how to choreograph all that Fall Out Boy stuff you like together, this should be cake. I'll totally make it up to you! Unless we actually do get it, then being a super cool ~ANIMAGUS~ is enough, right? What do you say, oh beautiful and brilliant and benevolent Vee?

[Warded to Rafael + Leo + Quinn]

Should we get together and plan for Operation Dances with Foxes?

[...]

That's the swing dancing practice. Quinn and I named it.

[...]

I can't tonight because I'm working with Vee (I think I might have something cool to show off later! be prepared!), but soon? This'll be great, guys!

I TRIED to warn you!!
But idk what you're talking about; potions is the BEST class.

And I tried to listen! I don't know how this happened.

Potions is the WORST class. It's a miracle I haven't blown myself up yet.

What you have to do now is skip your next class and do something HONESTLY FUN. Then you'll see the comparison and come back to the light again!!!

Omg and the threat of explosions is the fun part!!! You're making cool substances that could either like SAVE LIVES or KILL EVERYTHING! It's so fun.

Yearly reminder that ideally nothing at this school should be blowing up.

Tell that to Mr. Oakes?

Do as the teachers say, not as the teachers do.

Seriously?

As far as blowing boats up goes anyway.

Seeeeriously?

I don't make the rules I just parrot them back at you guys.

[...] Okay, that does sound really fun, but I've got Transfiguration next and I can't miss that because I'll never catch up again. Ever. Can I skip Wizard Literature or History of Magic instead? Or both?

See, that's way more responsibility than I want. I'll leave it to you, you little Potions prodigy~

Oooh but I love WizLit. And Mr. Merrill seems like he'd get sad if you skip.

BUT he'd also understand, and if you read a chapter ahead you'll be fine so yes, both. Do it.

Ooooo, wait. Is this you asking me to study?! ;)

I'm excited for this, though. I've been practicing and I feel like I'm getting the hang of it more and more. So let's see what your tingles are all about!

Also, my Fall Out Boy is amazing and just made for versatility. But we are still the best for working with some of it!

This is me asking you to study! Just. This. Once. Don't get used to it!

You too? I should've known we'd be in sync! But my {insert animal here} sense is definitely tingling. Let's do this!

Not complaining, just acknowledging the challenge! It's amazingly outside of my wheelhouse. But we still nailed it! That's the point.

If they wanted me to enjoy my first class back they should have moved it to a day when I don't have Herbology. [...] I've already spent four hours in the library and two in the shed, though, so I suppose I don't have much of a right to complain. It's good to be back. ~~Poti~~

[Dances With Foxes]
Are you two inventing a new double back flip or something?

That's fine with me because I'm still playing catch-up. When we start, how would you guys feel about holding the sessions (Classes? Missions? Assemblies? Showdowns?) after dinnertime?

I think showdowns is the most appropriate word here. Maybe everywhere.
After dinner's good. I'm almost always in the lodge til just before curfew anyway, so whatever day.

Really, the only reasonable apex for Ramirez and Hawkeswood's secret project is a bona fide dance-off.

I've been led to believe every dance ends in a dance off, so this makes sense

This is what happens when I am your instructor.

Oh. Was that not accurate?

I was luring you into the studio with stories of many, many dance battles.

So this is what being fooled feels like.

In this particular circmstance...definitely showdowns!

Because of the dance-off at the end. Right?

Quinn. Quinn. You work too hard. Let's do something fun tomorrow so you don't burn out the first week back! Want to hang out or go dance or go ice skating or ~~talk about Potions~~ something? I'd even let you beat me in a race. (Oooooh.)

[...]

Please don't kill me? Green Badge? ♥

[Dances with Foxes]

No, but that sounds fun too! Anyway, I can't tell you in case I botch it. But if I don't I'll bring you a pansy later and tell you all about it? (Mysterious~?)

And after dinner's fine with me! I've got Drama on Thursdays, but apart from that I'm clear.

I'm not going to burn out for at least three more weeks thank you very much.

And I would win that race because I'd kick your ass, no pity victories needed.

[Ty]
Buuut, sure. If your thing with Powers doesn't run too late why don't you hunt me down afterward? I'll be pretty difficult to find. (Here's a hint: it starts with 'li' and ends with 'brary.')

[Dances with Foxes]
Guys, I think Hawkeswood's gone of the deep end. With all these secret projects and mysterious study sessions he might think he's a spy but I can't say for sure. He seems like he's going to bribe Hightower for something? We might need to stage an intervention soon.

Good point; Ramirez and I have Event Committee on Mondays, then I have Astronomy.

Bring it on~

[Quinn]

Yeah! Definitely! I really have no idea how long it'll take, but if we wrap up before curfew (or, when do you normally leave the library?) I'll come find you.

[Dances with Foxes]

What am I going to bribe him with? I'll just ask him or I'll sneak in like the super elite spy that I definitely am.

So, Tuesday or Wednesday or Friday, then? [...] Or Tuesday and Wednesdayy and Friday, then? If we feeling particularly ambitious and competitive.

Duelling/Fencing is Wednesday. Tuesdays and or Friday would be good. I can't stay too late on Friday, since there's Quidditch first thing Saturday.

(See? See? Delusions of espionage. They're a definite warning sign that our friend might be Weird.)

Gosh, do I ever love that good ol' Azurcrest 2:30 timeslot.

He did just admit it.
Which seems like a fundamentally non-spy thing to do, but what do I know about spies.

Getting up early keeps you motivated. Also, it's fun to run drills when everyone else is hungover from Grotto parties.

It's a conundrum, isn't it?

Ebonhides get hangovers? I had no idea.

You may have just fooled us all.

It's not something we brag about.

"Planks Not Pukes" is one of my favourite warm-up games!

As long as it doesn't become Planks AND Pukes.

My record... is not spotless.

As only a witness to similar, I'm so sorry.

I wish there was a way to do this with the other prefects. If I were Head Boy* I would call meetings at dawn after Grotto parties.

* This statement to be filed under "Reasons I Am Not Head Boy"

You monster.

NEW RULE: No dance showdowns the morning after Grotto parties.

I'm not saying to do it.
But emergency meetings at dawn sounds like something normal prefects could probably do.

I never leave the library.

No, that's a lie. I'll be there until just before curfew if you don't save me from myself. In my defence I don't always keep at it after dinner; sometimes I do homework in my cabin instead!

Find me, Ty. ^{Before it's too late.^{Saaave meee!}}

Took me fifteen minutes into History of Magic.

I didn't actually miss school at all.

Seriously, dude? But Merrill's a riot.

Yeah, the academics really aren't why I love this place either. Should we try to start a Coppertale cuddle pile? How long do you think it'd take for the fighting to start?

Until Chris or Robin heard about it.

Or someone tried to get Sy to join.

The only to get Sy to join is by a fight. I'll shoulder that burden. I'll kick his ass into a cuddle pile

Such a burden, I'm sure.

Proved me right twice.

Potions is the best what is wrong with you Tyyyyyyy

Potions is the worst! What's wrong with you, Hazelnut?

You put stuff in other stuff and get NEW STUFF what's not to like?

Lemmie know if you need help in potions tho. :PPP I'll make sure you graduate (OR WILL I?)
