Bleed the skyline dry, your history is mine.

Michel, as always it seemed, was on the search for Evie. Did she even know she had a History of Magic exam in a month? Better yet, did she even care? He had told her he wouldn't let her fail, though, if it was one thing he did before he left school. He traipsed down to the Ravenclaw common room, books held lovingly to his chest. After all, he didn'

Evie, on the other hand, was avoiding Michel. Not because she didn't like the boy. That wasn't the case at all. He was kind and a gentleman and she adored him; so glad she had him as a friend. The thing was, she was not in the mood to deal with magical reforms or the like. When she asked him to help her with History of Magic, she'd never thought he'd be this...well, helpful. She wasn't even entirely sure why she wanted help with that class. She didn't need it to be a Healer, that was for sure. It was probably just that she wanted to prove to herself that she could do it. Yes, that was it

He found a nearby chair and pulled it up with a smile, deciding to keep it from being serious just yet, "They're kind of like us French. We're just so good at revolution, we keep doing it." He was exceptionally proud of that too, it was just the way he was brought up, to believe that it was always right to stand up for the principles of liberte, egalite, fraternite and against monarchy. He empathised with the Goblins in that respect. Then again, they just rebelled to be rebellious. Wasn't quite the same principle. He realised he'd spent a while thinking to himself and that she'd asked him something else.

He shook his head, "No, I've read it already. The underlining's done for you. It's good, though." He nodded, sure it was good and she'd..well, part of him hoped she'd like it, but the rest of him was a bit more realistic than that. He always liked doing extra reading for History, anyway.

"Yes, but you brought us crepes, so that makes up for it. Goblins just scare us at the bank," Evie said with a smirk. Of course she believed in revolution. It was needed at times. She just didn't want to read about it. She looked up at him mischievously. "I bet I can tell you what happens without reading the book." Pause. "Goblins get angry. People die. We learn not to mess with Goblins. Until the NEXT time when it happens all over again." Same thing every time, really. At least in her eyes. It was like in all her other classes you were learning how to help people, and in History of Magic you were hearing about all the ways people died. She couldn't get into it. That and Professor Binns was horribly boring. Honestly, she couldn't take it.

She smiled at him and opened the book, knowing her summary wouldn't get her out of at least leafing through it. It probably was a fantastic book, it just wasn't on a subject she was remotely interested in. Therefore the chances of her enjoying it were very slim.

"Yeah, but if they weren't scaring us at the bank, they'd be waving pointy sticks at us." He nodded assuredly with a slight smirk. He felt a little more relaxed and playful with her than most other people. He shook his head, "No..no. That's not what the book's about at all. History's about the analyis, not the events." He sighed and endeavoured to explain it to her, "It's more about why the Goblins were angry and why the powers that be failed to deal with the situation." This really frustrated him, how people just failed to realise that history wasn't about what happened, but why it happened. "This specific book analyses why there hasn't been another Goblin Rebellion since."
