You splinched yourself? Don't make me kill you.

But also, yay!

Hell yeah I did and I could wiggle my fingers after I lost them and then cb made me stop even tho I was obvs not about to die.

Gross and yet utterly cool. I wish I had seen that. I haven't been able to apparate yet. ~~and don't get me started on Patro~~

You'll get it tho, bc you're smart and shit.

Smart doesn't always mean you can do every spell.

[Quentin]
I haven't been able to make a Patronus either, and people who aren't even in DADA are doing it.

nah it ain't supposed to. nobody can ever do any everything. smart just means you got more of a potential to do shit.

[Junie]

Patronuses are dumb. The more you struggle to do one, the harder it is to do one, which just makes you more frustrated to do it, which just makes it even harder to do it. It defies the law of working hard.

Patronuses are bout your inner self. You gotta have confidence in yourself to do one, and worrying bout all the people that can already do one is only gonna fuck up your own patronus

but i can help you if you want me help?

Or maybe I'm not as smart as I think I am.

[Quentin]

I had to stop trying when I saw Marie and Archie do theirs, because I was just getting upset and I knew it wasn't going to happen then. And now, when I pick up my wand to try, I get upset all over again! I've been trying to get back to the good memory part but now the memory doesn't feel right either. I think I have to try another one. I have confidence in myself as a person but [...] not in this. Like [...] maybe I can't be happy enough.

Yeah but that's the thing bout personality shit. It doesn't matter how much of anything you think you are. You thinking you're not smart doesn't effect how smart everybody else thinks you are.

[Junie]

You need a good memory, but you also need to figure out a way to not let your emotional state weigh down any memory you come up with. You're not unable to be happy enough, you just aint happy right now, and people live like how they are now is how they always been, but it ain't. We all in a rush to feel some type of way that we ignore everything else. To do the patronus, you just need to slow the fuck down and try to remember how you felt before now.

Or your actual intelligence(s), separate of perception!!

I like that as an excuse for murder.

"Your Honor, he splinched himself. It was self-defense for my peace of mind."

Especially if he waived his splinched fingers at me. Exonerated.

No court on earth would convict you with that kind of evidence.

is it bc i waved my splinched fingers at you, miguel.

It's not too late for me to detach them again.

I have a spell for that.

Remember--it was for our peace of mind!

haters

That had to hurt

Kind of made me interested to know what it feels like when someone cuts off your fingers. Does it hurt more or less, y'know?

I'm sure you could find someone to volunteer to cut off some fingers for you, though I really don't recommend it.

right i ain't that reckless

unrelated, but if there's anybody reading this that wants to see what severed fingers look like, hmu

Is Mufferaw gonna try to grow them back or what?

nah he reattached them. I got a scar from it, through my first two fingers. Like I cut them off with a laser and then glued them back on.

Shit, let me see.

Be more careful.

k but I basically apparated today

be more careful doesn’t acknowledge that I basically apparated today

I'm very proud of you but also I would like you to not lose body parts.

aw thanks buddy, I’d like for you to not lose body parts too

Edited (Quentin senses an opportunity to flirt with Rupert and takes it every time ) 2018-03-22 03:08 (UTC)

[...] I should hope so.

Edited (Rupert has no idea what to do with Quentin like 90% of the time) 2018-03-22 03:29 (UTC)

so wanna see my new scar?

Edited (Quentin enjoys this relationship dynamic ) 2018-03-22 03:30 (UTC)

Not particularly no.

please?

[.....] There are lots of other people for you to show.

but I wanna show you

Show Dinah and Nisha.

im gonna but I wanna show you too

~~UGH~~ Fine.

ok but you also gotta ooh and ahh like you’re impressed too

Edited (Quentin feels a weird satisfaction when Rupert agrees to shit ) 2018-03-22 23:31 (UTC)

You get one thing and the one thing you get is me even looking at it, Quentin.

Edited (Rupert hates that he feels like he needs to be nice to people ever) 2018-03-22 23:32 (UTC)

fine but if you are impressed by it you can’t fake nonchalance just to be contrary ok

Edited (This sounds like sexual propositioning but Quentin is 100% oblivious ) 2018-03-22 23:34 (UTC)

I promise if, by some miracle, I'm impressed, I won't hide it. Happy?

yeah

Thx

Dude, that's rough. But at least you almost made it? That counts.

Plus it's gotta be a cool looking scar. You can make up stories later and impress people.
