[The video is being recorded from what appears to be the floor of a small room, looking up at a girl who looks entirely too energetic for this hour of the very early morning. She’s sitting cross legged and bright-eyed on the edge of her bed, leaning down over her NV, some sort of prop-in-progress sitting in her lap.]The masquerade ball at the Lux

Trouble with enchantments? You some sort of sorceress, witch or what have you?

[believesbeyond]

A witch, yes. But I hadn't quite finished school yet before I came here. So there's still a lot that I haven't been properly taught yet.

[the_dead_pool2]

I see... need to work on turning people into newts huh?

[believesbeyond]

That's very advanced Transfiguration!

... Unless you're talking about our exams. Which I don't think you are.

[the_dead_pool2]

Is that similar to transfats? I'll assume it is, so you try and avoid that if you can.

[Blinks]

You write your exams on newts? What kind of a sick school is that?!

[believesbeyond]

[She looks a little put out, now.]

For your information, it was one of the best schools in all of Europe for teaching witchraft and wizardry.

[the_dead_pool2]

Right I am sure it is, but why do you have to write exams on newts, seems like a rather cruel and unusual practice. Whatever floats your boat, I suppose.

[believesbeyond]

It's an acronym.

[A pause for a moment, he scratches his head and opens and shuts his mouth making a small sound]

... So it stands for new exciting weird test?

[believesbeyond]

That's one out of four so far!

[the_dead_pool2]

New Exhaustable Wet Tests? Like you have to take them in the water or something?

[Really he has no idea, but he takes it as a game]

[believesbeyond]

You're getting closer! The second word's just a little off, now.

[the_dead_pool2]

Hmmmmmm...

Neverending Exhaustingly Withering Tests? It feels a little Dr. Seuss to me to be honest. He was the original rapper so thats pretty dope I suppose.

[believesbeyond]

You're getting closer and closer still.

Do you want me to tell you?

[the_dead_pool2]

[He stares at her for a second then drops his head, defeated]

Yes...

[believesbeyond]

It's short for 'Nastily Exhausting Wizarding Test'.
