I'll be starting as the TA for Defense Against the Dark Arts tomorrow and I'll be giving out my tutoring hours then. For anyone that's planning to attend or otherwise seek my assistance, know that I'm willing to put in as much work as you are. ~~Don't waste my time with~~ This material is important. So I want everyone to learn it. If you aren't doing well, expect to hear from me.

Hey.

Congratulations.

[......] I'm sorry about the other night. Assuming you haven't forgotten since it took me so long to say anything. But I should've handled that better.

~~Hey~~ Thanks. And congrats to you, too. TA is a bit more involved than a club pres, so good luck.

~~I didn't forg~~ ~~Don't be sorry~~

Cas, what are you apologizing for? I was the one who put you on the spot. You don't need to apologize.

Thanks. You should be telling them 'good luck', though. I plan on being a hardass.

[...]

You were. But I was still a prick about it. I [...] don't like to think that I hurt you. I didn't intend to. But I assume I did.

If they don't know that by now, I can't help them.

~~You were you~~

~~it did~~

It's not your fault ~~that~~ if I was hurt. You were honest, and I appreciate that. You shouldn't have to apologize because you ~~don't l~~ didn't want to go to the dance with me. So, I am sorry for putting you on the spot.

[...] Well. I am. For what it's worth.

And we were both drunk. Not ideal in terms of decision-making. Don't worry about it.

I

[...]

You're trying out for the school team, right?

I

[...]

Thank you. ~~I just~~

You don't have to dance with me at the Grotto. It was nice of you to offer, though.

[...]

Yea. I want to play as much as I can before I have to give it up.

[......] Well. I don't mind being held to that. If you change your mind.

And I'm not trying out. But let me know if you'd like to get in some extra practice. I don't doubt that Evercreech and Delgado can put you through your paces but experience with different styles can help.

I think I'm a little beyond pity, it's okay. ~~I'm not going~~

[...]

Why aren't you trying out? You're a good Beater. But I could use the practice. ~~Just maybe give me a couple~~ I already told Avery I'll be living on my broom from now until March at least.

It's not pity. ~~I don't kn~~

[...]

I don't care much about Quidditch. It's good exercise. It's a good way to [...] let loose. I want to play well when I play. But I play enough and I'm not looking to get scouted or anything. So I don't try out. [...] But I don't mind some more practice.

~~Of course it~~ You're being a good friend. I don't usually go to Grotto parties, really. I mean [...] I say usually but I've never been, so. You know.

~~I can't~~

[...]

I'm not going to get scouted. I'm no where near that level. But I want to be [...] do all that I can with it before I move onto a career in artificing. After that, not many chances to play, you know? I wish I were good enough to do it all the time. Anyway, I know what you mean about letting loose. You're not going to miss it after school?

~~I don't know what I'm d~~ [...] You've never been to the Grotto?

I don't know if you're good enough or not. But honestly? I don't think it's bad to do something more important with the rest of your life than playing a game. But yeah. I do know what you mean. [...] I'll miss my team more than Quidditch.

No, never been.

We don't have to do just one thing all our lives. I know I'll get to do a lot. And I love artificing. I love creating. It's not that I regret that. But this is the last time I'll get to be here and do this.

Sorry for being sentimental.

You might be the smartest person in this school, then.

[...] I'm not saying it's bad to want to get on the school team. I hope you make it and you beat Ilvermorny and Hogwarts into the dirt. But after this I'd rather do something that matters more than that. That's all.

Why is that? Is it that bad to go to the Grotto?

[...] I get that. ~~I think we both~~

~~Everyone wants~~

~~No, I don't want to tell you, I want to know~~ What matters to you? What do you want to do?
