Really impressed with how well everyone is doing in the Patronus sessions. Remember, it's an incredibly complex spell, so don't be too down if you're having trouble.

If anyone's interested in practicing a bit more [...] feel free to ward me. Won't even get weird about what your happy memory is. Promise.

[Warded to Sophomores]

Hey. Sweet murder prank today. As if you all didn't have enough fun going on, already, tomorrow is the start of Mr. Calderon-Boot's Pre-Apparition licensure classes.

Not sixteen? Not in Charms? No problem. You can still attend.

Apparition's another big one. So, just wanted to see if anyone had any questions, beforehand.

You should always consider how disruptive your pranks are. Yes.

[Rupert]
Absolutely. You're doing well, there's a few tricks we can try, tho. Want to go over them tomorrow or Thursday?

Sophomores + Lucas

[somethingwick_ed]

Thank you.

[Lucas]
[...] But I couldn't Antigone [...] Alright. Tomorrow. Then if I need more help there's still Thursday. [...] You think I'll be able to do it?

Sophomores + Lucas

My pleasure.

[Rupert]
As many times as you're up for it, I'll find the time to work with you. I believe you can. We'll try out replacing that Mr. Auror "concentrate and focus" stuff with just being confident and centered, first of all.

I really appreciate it. Really. [...] You're very approachable, which is a good trait to have in this situation. I didn't really want to talk to Casper.

[...]

I'm very confident and centered most of the time, though.

You're very welcome and it's no problem at all. I enjoy helping people figure this stuff out. [...] I [...] try to be. Thank you. Dark Arts Defense usually produces pretty intimidating people - which, good, right? But then it's all serious and tense. It psychs me out pretty easy. And, with stuff like Expecto Patronum, I think putting yourself at ease is important.

[somethingwick_ed]

[....] Yes, I suppose it does. It's a little ann I just don't want to look stupid want to perform well in all my classes is all, so DADA won't be a huge part of my life after school at least. So I shouldn't have to deal with that type of person too often.

[.....]

I'm NOT psyched

I guess ease maybe isn't my strong suit

Lucas/Rupert

Hey, grades are a perfectly admirable pursuit. I plan on being the second biggest weirdo at auror training after Robin Youngblood, tho, so [...] I'm trying to get used to that type.

[...]

Eh, that's pretty easy to figure out. If I can figure it out, anyone can. [...] Hanging out with people who relax you, beforehand, can help I find.

Lucas/Rupert

[somethingwick_ed]

That sounds miserable I don't envy you at all. I'm not even really pleased with having so many Aurors around school. [...] I mean, I don't care that much about them being here, but they seem kind of ominous and a lot of them don't style their hair very nicely.

[.............]

What if [...] no one relaxes me? [....] Hypothetically.

Lucas/Rupert

[bubblewrapped]

No kidding. I think they've got everyone on edge. Some of them are alright. Like, Agent Jaeger looks like a goofball. But it seems like they got a lot of them from the Department of Generically Intimidating Secret Agents.

Hypothetically, [...] do something that makes you feel accomplished beforehand. Do you paint or play music or dance or anything? I [...] write. If I'm not feeling people.

Lucas/Rupert

[somethingwick_ed]

[....] Yes, well. I guess it doesn't matter, does it? They're here. And you're going into their ranks at some point. [...] I'm sure you'll manage.

[...]

I can do that. I'll make sure to prepare, then. Get myself [...] pumped up, or whatever.
