003: I Just Wanted to Read

[as_driven_snow]

I picked up a few books from the library and I thought it might be a nice idea to sit in the parlor and read.

Those damn birds. "Alcuin Alcuin Alcuin!" I couldn't think. There was no one else around and I was considering just throwing a book at them, but I was afraid I'd break something.

I'm not in the best of moods. I haven't been sleeping well and

... I can help you sleep, if you want. I know some spells that might be useful.

[as_driven_snow]

Really? That is very kind of you! I would very much appreciate it. As long as it is not an imposition for you.

How have you been holding up?

[verdants]

Of course not. I'm a good wizard; I mastered those spells a long time ago.

I'm okay, I suppose. Maybe better than I was before.

[as_driven_snow]

You can perform magic? I've never seen that before! What other spells do you know?

I'm happy you're feeling better. Did you see the ornament of you on the tree?

[verdants]

Of course I can. I know lots of spells... there's no point in trying to tell you everything. I've studied magic for six years.

No, I didn't... There was an ornament of me?

[as_driven_snow]

Oh! So that's what they teach at your school then. I should read about this. They have books about so many other worlds. I've heard there's some about yours.

There was an ornament of each person in the mansion. They're quite nice. Wonderfully-made.

{ooc: Hey, I think one of your icons went wonky and turned into Angel up there}

[verdants]

Yeah. The history of Hogwarts is really quite interesting... My father had me study it since I was little.

Oh. Okay.

[ ooc; *peers* I don't see it... and I certainly wouldn't have any icons of Angel. Yucky.~ ]

[as_driven_snow]

To think of you as a schoolboy... What's your best subject? Do you get punished for acting out often?

{ooc: Well, it's gone now. I guess it was just my internet being weird?}

[verdants]

... What's so great about being a schoolboy, of all things? Tch. Anyway. I'd say I'm best at potions, not that it matters, because I'm good at everything I do.

And whether or not I get punished often is none of your business.

[ ooc; Oh well! I suppose the internet does like to do that.~ ]

[as_driven_snow]

It's a commonly innocent and simple image and the way you present yourself is anything but.
Are you? Such a jack of all trades. You're sure to do well in life with your high marks.

You just seem like the defiant type. It's pure curiosity.

[verdants]

If you say so. And that's the idea; my father wants the absolute best for me.

Hn. Fine. I do get detentions quite a lot...
