~~Fucking Herbology is so stu~~

Boating tomorrow, Grotto on Friday, Quidditch on Sunday? Now that's what I'm talking about!

Things were getting so boring around here.

In other news;

I hear there's giant swans sneaking into people's cabins or something. Keep your doors closed.

It's not as bad as it sounds.

Nah? I was kind of reading what was going on and the gist of it seemed like bird killed a cat or something idk I gave up when they started catfighting.

No one killed anything and no one died.

Let's change the subject.

Why? Pretty sure this is my entry and I can talk about what I want?

Come here for something specific, flower man?

True. We can keep talking about dangerous pseudo-swans.
It just feels insensitive.

To say hi.
To downplay the dramatic impact of something that has nothing to do with me.

Looolll okay just went back and read it to see if the swan was fake. Turns out its a student. False alarm, he didn't even break into a cabin, guys. So much less exciting.

[...] Well that's awful nice of you, Wilde.
Hi, then.

In the scope of everything that's happened here, it's a footnote.

Hi. What's up?

True. Super tame in comparison to all the other fun things we've been exposed to this year. Anon only knows what next year has in store for us.

Nothing at the moment. Trying to pass the time.
What are you doing?

[Wilde]

[...] I hear you're some kind of Herbology genius or something. Are the rumors true?

Anony only knows what I'd do without [...] drama

Homework I don't care about.

[Wilde/Sam]
If being a genius means asking for a garden before anyone else, that's what I am.

Live a perfectly normal, productive, uninterrupted life?

Same, same. Seems like all there is to do around here during the weekdays is homework no one cares about.

[Wilde/Sam]

If I tell you something, do you swear to keep it a secret?
Because I am quite capable in hexes and I will not hesitate to ruin you if you blab.

Beach Boys approved.

[Wilde/Sam]
I'll try.
Understand I mean well, but I'm not harmless.

What is it?

Nothing else matters as long as we've got the Beach Boys approval.

[Wilde/Sam]

You're not the giant, cuddly and friendly bear everyone thinks you are? Color me surprised.

I'm failing ~~everything~~ Herbology. And, stuff. [...] I don't want a tutor, can I just [...] ask you some questions sometimes? I basically need to get 100% on everything from here on out to pass so. Yeah.

Yeah.
Ask me whatever you want.
Can I tell you something?

Thanks. I will.

[...] What's that?

I like Herbology, and I like tutoring. As long as you aren't an asshole, I'll help you out.

You like tutoring? [...] I guess I mean if you don't mind it, I could use some tutoring, yeah.

[...] Are you good at Artificing? Hermeticism? Um, and Transfiguration?

I know, I know. Blah blah lecture you should keep your grades up blah blah.

I'm not bad at it so far.

Transfig yeah. I'm not in either of the others, but [...] I could figure it out.

Why would I lecture you?
Do people seriously do that?

Well then, alright. We have a deal.

Yes, people do lecture. ~~I get lectured a lot~~

Do you know anyone who is and could get me up to snuff in the two months we have before exams?

Anyone in Animagus Studies is guaranteed to at least be decent at Transfiguration. Obviously.

Wait until after graduation and pounce on the people who are left.

True. What about swan dude? Does he tutor?

I can't wait that long. I'll get kicked out.

Ask him.

It's that bad?

I can't just ask. I don't even know the guy.

If the don't toss me out my parents will. I'm "lucky" to be here to begin with.

If he says no, there's a whole roster of other people to ask. Who cares?

Yeah.
[...] Same.
Just don't do what they want.

I'm not worried he'll say no.

Really? But I thought you were like, good at school?

I have to. It was this ~~or rehab~~ or well, this. There was no other option. I'm on my "last chance."

What's so bad, then?

I got lucky. And I ended up liking this shit.
~~I wanted t~~

You're fine.
No one here is going to let you fail, and the school would rather give you what you need to pass than give you the chance to make them look bad.

I just don't know if he's the type to make fun of people who are failing.

Dude I fucking love it here. Not for the school, for the freedom. I don't know. That's why I am even bothering with getting my grades up. I don't want to leave.

That's kinda reassuring dude, thanks. That wasn't sarcastic, I promise.

I don't get that impression.

If you want to stay, you will.

You know him pretty well, then?

I do want to stay. I was [...] a bit late on deciding that, I guess. But I want to stay now, anyway. Even if there's a bunch of crazy shit always going on.

Nah.
I don't really know anyone that well.

Don't worry about it.
I honestly think they pretend so they look good, but don't care that much until you're at least a Junior.

Think about it. They accepted you and have given you like two whole years of resources and time and a space someone else could have.

Why would they just take it away because your grades are bad for a semester? Feed them some bullshit, pull your grades up, no problem.

Me either, really.

Sweet I have two more months here of them not giving a shit yet.

~~That would mean they wanted me here in the first place~~ Totally right, yeah. I'm good. I should probably still get tutoring though.
