ϡ - Chapter Ten; interesting thoughts [voice]

[folkloristic]

Seven, Eight, Nine, Ten, Eleven…oh there’s no more sugar left. Hmm I’ll have to pick some up later.

[She remembers that voice! So she replies :D]

I was born with mine, the only one in my entire family to have magic of any kind. It's not possible to gain it where I'm from.

[voice]

[folkloristic]

[ And he remembers yours as well! Just give him a second to place a name. ]

Hermione, was it? Forgive me this old mind is hard with remembering! [ A pause. ] Ah how did that fire spell work out for you, dear?

The only one in your family? Interesting, usually most are fully magical families in my case. Though I suppose it does depend on who you end up with!

[voice]

[loyalotter]

[That's fine. She's patient!]

That's all right. I'm Hermione, yes. It worked better after you'd given me instruction, but it's still got a few things to work out before it'll be perfect. I ought to thank you again for your help.

Yes. Magic can skip around where I'm from. Some wizards are born into completely non-magical families, like I was, and some wizarding families with magic in every person in their tree can have a non-magical child. It's really interesting.

[ Oh that's good then because he's slow sometimes /shot ]

Oh it's no trouble at all! I actually found it quite refreshing teaching someone. It does make me miss the castle a bit though.

Hm that is certainly something. Perhaps it's something in the genes, I've never really taken the time to fully look into the matter though.

[voice]

[loyalotter]

[ffffff Good thing indeed!]

Maybe you ought to think about teaching people here, too. It was very informative for me.

I don't know. I never really had a reason to look into it because it seems to be so unnecessary. I don't know if it's possible to prove or disprove.

[voice]

[folkloristic]

Hmm well, I was thinking about it. I'd love to have some students.

No harm in not knowing. Though it does make one wonder.

[voice]

[loyalotter]

It could be fun. I tutor occasionally and it can be very rewarding.

I suppose so. [She sounds curious, though.]

[voice]

[folkloristic]

You tutor? How wonderful! I think with the amount of people willing to learn here it can turn into a wonderful endeavor indeed! Perhaps I could even find myself some assistants. [ He laughs a little. ]

[voice]

[loyalotter]

I thought it a good way to use my spare time. Otherwise I was sitting around in the library reading, which isn't a bad endeavor by itself, but tutoring gives my library visits new purpose.

[voice]

[folkloristic]

And you seem to have thought right! It also helps keep one's mind fresh, you know? And it's a nice thing to do, helping others.

[voice]

[loyalotter]

Exactly. It's what I'd do at home, so why shouldn't I keep it up here? The material may be different, but it's still the same principle.

[voice]

[folkloristic]

True and besides everyone here probably can benefit from it. Also it's always nice teaching people about new and exciting things.

[voice]

[loyalotter]

Exactly. I ought to see if anyone else would like tutoring time. It's been a while since I had a chance. And perhaps I'll have the fire magic sorted out when we see each other again.

[voice]

[folkloristic]

I look forward to our next meeting then! Perhaps I can give you a few more pointers, ah, if you'd like that is!

[voice]

[loyalotter]

Of course! I love learning as much as I can about everything.

[voice]

[folkloristic]

Ah such willingness to learn! If only some of my own students expressed such sheer enthusiasm. It's hard to come by in some youth nowadays.
