[...] Sorry for the disruption in the library earlier today. I wasn't feeling well. But I'm fine now.

Healer Mufferaw gave me a Calming Draught. Because I [...] got a little stressed out earlier. Would one of you mind making sure I'm up on time tomorrow? This stuff tends to put me out.

[Reid]

Thanks. For getting me out of there and over to Mufferaw. And for staying. And for walking me ba everything. You didn't have to do that. But I appreciate it.

[...] Thanks, Addy. Really. (Even with the heart.)

[Addy]

Friend duty or prefect duty or both? [...] I'm all right now. Really. I think I just need to sleep and focus on getting through the next two days.

Friend Duty wins every time; this all me is me w/ no idea of what the burning weight of a prefect badge etc ever felt like.

And as that person: You should def sleep. You're gonna CRUSH goose exam season. Almost there.

[...] Sorry. I didn't mean it like that. I don't know what I meant.

I want that to be true.

Addy/Lachlan

[addytives]

No apologies!
Idk either. I wanted it super clear that I am this nosy without ANY authority but. That's probably obvious.

I think it will be true. You know this stuff. You've been studying for so long. But for now. Please please take care of yourself too. Be kind to your brains, and they will also be kind to you.
(It's a v scientific thing.)

Concerned nosiness is one of your many charms, Addy.

[...] I know the magical theory side. I understand how magic works and why magic works and all that. But you've seen me during demonstrations. It takes me so much practice and even then I choke sometimes. Do it wrong. Do it and nothing happens. Charms and Transfiguration will be all right. But Defense Against the Dark Arts? [...] I really don't know.

Addy/Lachlan

[addytives]

It takes practice, but you have practiced. So many times. You do know this stuff. Even/especially Defense.

I think a big part of not choking is like. Being confident you know what you're doing. Getting out of your head a little. Which I know is wayy easier said than done.
[...] What do you think about, when you're doing those demonstrations?

Addy/Lachlan

[lachlangalbraith]

I know what I'm supposed to do. I just [...] can't do it. Not on command. Not with everyone watching me and expecting things from me. Not when I know that I need to do it. I start thinking about everything I know about the spell and end up completely blank. [...] It's stupid.
