Ah, yes. Well. *shrugs* Don't worry so much, right? I'm most concerned about Potions. I can charm Sluggy all I want during lessons, but when it comes down to it I'm just going to have to know it all, cold.
*sighs, dropping onto his back with the exhalation* Bloody NEWTS.
*grins a bit* I think the happiest day of my life was when McGonagall sat me down beginning of last year and started the NEWTs talk with, "Please, for everyone's sake, drop Potions."
*smiles, pats his arm* You sound a bit flustered. And a bit sarcastic at the moment. *grins* Unless I've terribly misinterpreted your commentary on NEWTs.
*takes a deep breath* I am a bit flustered. Please don't take it personally.
I don't think NEWTs would be so stressful if the professors didn't start nagging you about them five minutes after you finish your OWLs.
*shakes head* I've got this schedule made up that I'm trying very hard to stick to. Which is difficult when I have best friends who are naturally brilliant and avoid studying just to prove it and like to make mischief.
I'm always very good at distractions. For others and for myself, as you well know. *shoves at Remus' knee fondly* But he's determined to torture himself with Runes.
Depends, what are you taking NEWTs in? If you've got Runes and Defense, there might be something in working with a site that they just started excavating down in Peru.
*grins* Dark Artifact Excavation is always looking for workers, on account of so many of us accidentally get ourselves cursed or sacrificed to the Underworld.
Transfig, Charms, maybe some Arithmancy. I should probably look at some Potions too but I don't know if I can handle it tonight. *rueful smile* You're lucky you were able to drop it after fifth year, it's so bloody hard now- argh!
Wish now I had taken a bird course like Muggle Studies or Divination.
*raises her shoulder in a shrug* What're you working on? Maybe we can revise a bit together.
*chuckles* I think it's best for everyone that I dropped Potions. That was just a disaster waiting to happen.
I've heard Muggle Studies is harder than you'd think, especially for students from Muggle or part-Muggle families. My dad warned me not to take it, actually, or else I would have.
*waves notes a bit* Runes tonight. Though I think it's a lost cause, this evening. Sirius seems a bit odd. *smirks* Moreso than usual, that is. But I get the feeling he's going to be distracting, so I might as well just give in.

And what are we studying for today?

Runes. The latest batch we learned are disgustingly difficult. And she won't tell us if we'll be tested on them or not. *scowls a bit*

Bloody NEWTS. Actually studying Remus, or is Sirius here just a distractionary tactic?

I do have Runes and Defence. But a job out of the country would be...exceedingly difficult.
*grins* Not that that doesn't sound like a blast.
I think I'm going to have to send an email to you and Liz and Shannon...I'm wondering if/when A&T learn Remus is a werewolf...

How's the studying going, Remus?

It's all rubbish. I think I may give up tonight, nothing's sticking, anyway.
*gestures towards her load*
D'you need any help? What all are you working on tonight?
