I nod. "Anything that I could do to return the favor?" I ask.

She bit on her lower lip to think for a moment. "Well... I'm kind of failing Astronomy...are you any good at it?"

I shake my head. "Sorry. Got a P in OWLs because I didn't really bother to study, and I dropped it as soon as I could. Defense, Potions, or Arithmancy I might be able to help you with, but not that." I shrug. "So why are you still taking it, anyway?"

Lin smiled and shrugged. "The stars are pretty?" she offered, then laughed slightly. "Arithmancy I could definately use help in, as well. Got Potions down, and Defense..." she laughed again. "I'm pretty sure I've got that too."

I nod. "Well, those are the important ones. And I could try to help you out in Arithmancy... not much of a teacher though."

Lin grinned. "Anything would help, really. I don't pay attention much in that class..."

"Intelligent of you," I can't help but mutter. "So why are you taking it then? Because numbers are pretty?"

She laughed slightly. "Not quite. Kinda needed a filler."

I nod. "Ah, I see. And Muggle Studies didn't appeal to you? Care of Magical Creatures or Divination?"
|

Post by Lin Baker on Dec 7, 2007 21:24:58 GMT
Lin laughed. "God no. Grew up in a muggle neighborhood with a muggle mum and squib da. Definately didn't need that class, I've killed every pet I've ever had, and think Divination's a load of crap. That left Arithmancy."

"Or... what's the other one... Ancient Runes." I shrug. "But at least Arithmancy has a practical use, so I can understand your choice. Care of Magical Creatures might've been a good one though. Keep you from killing all those pets."

I laughed. "That's why I didn't take it. I'd fail if I killed everything, right?"
|
|
|
|
Post by Fitzy Patricks on Dec 11, 2007 2:48:43 GMT
"True...." I shrug. "Although maybe by the end you'd learn not to kill them. I guess it doesn't have much practical use for a lot of people, though."

"Yeah...especially because I plan to work in the muggle world...."

I raise my eyebrows at that, especially sitting here at the Slytherin table. I'd learned not to mention muggles with anything but derision around most of my housemates.
"What are you planning to do there?" I ask curiously.

She shrugged. "I'd like to be a lawyer, I beleive. Maybe be in touch with our Ministry, so I can help cover up magical mishaps, you know?"

"That sounds... constructive enough, I guess," I agree, raising my eyebrows briefly. "I haven't got a clue what I'm planning. I guess I haven't looked much farther than the end of the war."

Lin raised a brow. "You're involved? How deeply?"
|
|
|
|
Post by Fitzy Patricks on Jan 13, 2008 15:50:17 GMT
I hesitate, then shrug. "Deeper than I'd like." Yet at the same time, not enough. Deeper than I'd like on one side... not involved at all on the other, despite how I'd like to be.

Lin nodded. "That sucks."

Post by Fitzy Patricks on Jan 22, 2008 2:39:43 GMT
"It's my own stupidity," I shrug, then raise my eyebrows questioningly. "Are you involved?"
|
|
|
|
Post by Lin Baker on Jan 24, 2008 20:58:29 GMT
She shook her head. "Not really. I provide information that I've, erm, taken from people, and give it to others higher up than me. That's it."

I nod, eying her carefully and decide that I don't want to press her on that.
This was a brilliant conversation to get into....

Lin laughed slightly. "Moving on..."

Post by Fitzy Patricks on Jan 29, 2008 18:32:38 GMT
"Good idea." I laugh slightly, then frown as I try to come up with something to move on to.
"I don't suppose you're any good at holding conversations?"

"Not really." Lin said laughing slightly. "I suppose we could talk about.... life..." she laughed slightly.

"Because that's not too broad a topic." I laugh slightly, then shrug. "Well, all right then. "How's yours?"
|

Post by Lin Baker on Feb 1, 2008 15:59:43 GMT
"Rather boring, actually. Went shopping over the weekend, but that's it. How's yours?"
|
|
|
|
Post by Fitzy Patricks on Feb 1, 2008 17:20:26 GMT
"Probably more boring than yours is, actually." I shrug. "I... recently did some homework, but that's about it."

Lin laughed. "Wow, aren't we interesting?"
