Hey, everything all right with Mazy? I saw her rush off to the
loo. Yeah, I think I think she's just a bit nervous. It's
dueling, right, so I think we all got a lot on our minds.
How are you feeling about dueling? I think it's pretty cool that I
get like a like a government, sayanctioned reason to fight people. So has
anyone ever died in dueling practice at Hogwarts? I said that death was probably
not a good idea I'll live to talk about right now. I mean,
I'm sure Hogwarts is perfectly safe and everything, but I don't really want to
go straight into the first defense against the dark ass. Listen, and I
have this moment where I'm really just worrying about dying because somebody might let me
kill me. I might, And then I just I'm just be brats.
This is a sentence I never thought i'd say. But I would like to
investigate the vomit. So where were you? I was? Didn't I make
potions and portions? Class? Oh amazing? He's not doing too well?
Okay, do you want to help me? I was just running to get
her some water and an app kin. Yeah, okay, you're not mad
at me? Though, why would I be mad at you? I don't
know. You gave me a look when you were leaving the hallway, and
I thought maybe we're like, oh what did you do? Claim she has
a bit of an upset tummy, so I'm just bringing her some stuff.
How are you feeling? Are you feeling strange of talk? Confused or sick?
No? Why is everyone else is either confused or sick? Area No,
but I do think we should unpack that later. And I'm rubbish or
spells and I'm supposed to be really good and see that pupils are supposed to
be really good at spouse spouse. We just I don't want to hurt anybody,
and I don't want to die. Okay, Mazy, If you get
called today, I'll go up instead, and then we'll practice spells together outside
of class. That way, the next time we have defense against the dark
arts, you feel more ready, okay, But I don't want to practice.
I just don't want to do it at all. This is a mystery.
I could have sworn it was breakfast. Just now, are you feeling?
All night? Puts his hand on your head. If you're okay?
To you imposed something's wrong with Alex. It seems like someone's cast and obliviate
charm on him. He doesn't remember things that have happened over the past day.
I brought him here telling him that you have summoned me, and I
was nervous to go alone so you could see for yourself and figure out a
solution. But don't give away that I'm doing this. Okay, mister Hippin,
I believe if you have ingested a portion it's everglade. Could you please
escort mister Pippen to Madame Pomphrey, absolutely the head mistress. The head mistress
is concerned that he may have ingested a forgetfulness potion, and so she just
wanted you to just just check to be sure. We don't know. Oh,
let's have a look at you. Mister Tippins. Sit down on your
hands. Yeah, but I just heard sausages. Well, Robert means to
be angry at me. We were were thanks were really good. I don't
know. I thought things were going well. Also, wait, Rosie,
what what started the fight? Why was Maisie upset? You know because Alex
said that, uh, he wanted to set up a double double. Oh
I remember, I think I need to have a nap or something not.
Pumfrey can have a nap, yes, yeah, yes, your water and
never pumpkin juice as well. A teenage heart is a difficult melody, but
I've seen many things in my day. Hell Phil, that's all right,
Madam Pomfrey. I'm sure I'll do better after a little time. Rejoined and
Alexander and Rosie in the hospital way Alex alex flex Yeah good, you goot
over there? You know it? Okay? Do you know who I am?
Jay? Rosie? Okay? And do you know what today is?
Mm? Hmm Monday anyway, comun it is? Yeah, you nailed it,
you nailed it. It's Monday. Uh. And how's your stomach?
Are you hungry? Do you want a snack? No? Thank you?
Okay, that's so crushing to hear, but I'm fine. I'm fine.
Sorry, I can no no, no, no, no, that's on
me. No, that's on me. So if you're not hungry and you're
feeling better, and you know what day it is, you want to like
this popsicle stand or like should we take a nab? Like? How are
what's the what's the mood? How are you feeling? Sound? Okay?
Yeah, that seems reasonable. Do you want to talk about it? No?
Do you want to do some deep breathing a little inban yoga session?
No? I just I can't figure it out. What thing can't you figure
out? No? I don't want to. I don't want to make people
feel bad things. Wait, who are you making feel bad things? Because
it's not me. I only feel good things around you unless you're sad,
and then I feel mad at your sadness. Just kidding. I'm past mist
so I would never punch your sad in the face. Okay, I would
send your sad to therapy though. Okay, amazing you made Mazie feel sad
or I or something or bad? Was it because you're being like such a
good boyfriend? Like it was too much? Was it overwhelming? I don't
think so. Do you guys have a fight while I was in here?
I can remember exactly. That's well. I can barely ever remember what I
did yesterday, So that's incredibly relatable. You think, do I think?
No? I think, Okay, you think I did, and then I
I forgot. You think you hurt mea these feelings and then you forgot about
it on purpose? I forgot on purpose, not hard Your feelings. You
think you think that you heard mazyse feelings and then took a forgetfulness potion on
purpose. Yeah, but not because I wanted Are you sure you did that?
Yeah? Because when I when I felt really bad, to just know
forgetting why I feel bad, it would make me not feel bad. I
mean, that's true until you have to remember why you forgot things and then
when you kind of remember it. Yeah, I don't think that I thought
that through. That's okay. Thinking things through is uh not my specialty either,
So do you don't so? Because when I think about this situation,
I think that probably somebody did it to us, because we are vulnerable targets
in the land of Hogwarts. But you think you did it to yourself?
Or do you think that maybe this is a manifestation of the anxiety living inside
your chest? Because I think it's a manifestation of the anxiety living inside your
chest. I don't could we find out, like, is there like a
magical way to find out if you've swallowed the potion willingly or if somebody spiked
your food, like we do tests for that, like toxology test in the
Muggle world. But I don't know. I expect that maybe did you have
a forgetfulness potion on you? Alex, No, I probably made that.
They're fairly quick. We'll end it in fusty. You had the ingredients.
I have got like stuff. They've got spend ingredients for making potions, and
you have the extra money to buy the other ones. Yeah, I've been
saving up. See, I you know what, I think. I'm gonna
go ahead and stick with the fact that I don't think that you would do
that, because, in the kindest way, I think that your anxiety would
have prevented you from taking a potion to forget things. I anxious about taking
the potion, right, so I didn't feel anxious. You just drank it.
Well, I don't know, but like before my nap just now,
h huh, I felt I felt so sad that I didn't feel anxious.
There was too much. There wasn't a space for it. With all the
Did you break up? I don't know. But when I went to when
I went to lunch, um me being around her made her feel sick.
I think. So, I think that's like a bad saying. And if
you broke up, I wouldn't remember it because I took the motion. Are
you sure you just didn't like step in poop or something, because like,
people seem to gag around me all the time, and maybe it's just like
your shoes. No, it's when I she looked stressed, so I tried
to comfort her by rubbing her back a bit, and she flinched away from
me and started feeling second And I gave her the fizzy milk that she likes
and that she that made her throw up entirely. So yeah, but what
but what if somebody had given her a potion to make her sick and giving
you a potion to make you forget? Canning get somebody cursed our table like
the other week, Alex? I think maybe you're playing this all on yourself.
Oh no, I just I don't know. Like she definitely wasn't she
m m, it wasn't good. I don't know. I don't know what's
gonna happen next. Well, we could ask her, I don't know if
I want to know. Do you want me to ask her and then tell
you? I think that not knowing might be worse, because then you're just
gonna have to think about it like forever and and ever and ever and ever,
and then you're gonna be like, what will happen. Is it good
is a bad? Is it bad as a good? Is it good is
bad? And then you'll make yourself sick. And then really you could just
know and have to deal with the negative side effects instead of imagining that you're
gonna have to deal with the negative side effects, which might just be worse.
It's like when I try to think about having a bath. Yeah,
I don't know. I don't know what to do. I just want Well,
you're gonna have to You're gonna have to see her, we go to
school together. Yeah, you're just not gonna talk to her. Do you
want me to say that you're magically under a spell where you cannot speak you
have laryngita. I don't want to lie, Okay, Uh, you are
nervous. That's not a lie. Yeah, I just I don't You're just
swishing you what to do. I want it to be better again. I
think that maybe you should tell maze all the things that you told me and
then see if maybe I missed things up when I try to do good things.
What if you wrote Mazie a letter so that way you couldn't get nervous.
You could only write down the key points and facts and nothing could be
misrepresented, and you could edit out the things that you didn't mean to put
in there, you know, like the ums and the ifs and the and
the what's, and then and then give that to Maze Because like when I
can't properly express my feelings, I think writing it's it's like interpretive dance and
that people completely understand exactly what you're doing and saying to them some the wordn't
tearpid and the dance thing, No, it doesn't that mean people can just
no, no, it's the exact same thing is writing a letter. But
what they yes? Right? That might be a good idea if I not
the interpretive dance though the writing I don't. We've never even taken an interpretive
dance class together, but I could teach you if that's well, if you
wanted to tell Mazie through interpretive dance, we could figure out a way to
make that work. What if next time I see Mazie, I just don't
say anything. But what if Mazie's not mad at you? And then that
makes her think that you're mad at her unless she says something to me?
But what if she doesn't want to say something to you? Unless you say
something first, I think you should just write a letter pay for the l
I think you can do a letter. I can write a note and keep
it in my pocket. You could write a note and keep it in your
pocket and slide it to her next time you see her. Man, that's
something like that. Maybe. Okay, I think that's a good idea,
and then she'll know exactly what you're thinking, and neither of you will have
to cross any verbal miscape communication lines, which is common for our age group.
I think, okay, do you want some paper, a little parchment,
little quill, got some keep some okay? Good? Yeah, yours
will probably have like the raven call hog on it, so that makes yeah
and the Pendom match. So I'll leave you to it. And I'm just
gonna like roll over to give him privacy. So I'm just gonna turn over.
It's like a really slow and awkward turn. You like look at him
for a second, and I just turn over like immediately, like we're like
kids in bed, and he's upset me. So I'm just like and then
I just roll back over, and I'm like, good luck. I'm just
gonna lay there quietly doing nothing. Madame Pomfrey uh makes her way over to
you. Alex slowly but surely suck my Patchmilton quill I mean, hm right,
Misterifian, how are you feeling? I think I got a lot of
it own hard, too tired to or oversad is being oversaid a thing I've
seen plenty of students that are oversaid. Okay, you'll be all right.
I'm sure there are a few steps we can take in regards to a forgetfulness
potion. If you want to remember, I thought a bit if I wanted
to remember her not and I and I I do all right? Then where
is the last thing that you do remember from before you weren't able to remember?
Now? Going to bed? Last name? All right, I'd like
you to focus on that memory for me, mister Pippen. She'll like squeakily
drag like a stool over to sit next to the bed. Now, think
back to that last memory that you remember, and I want you to think
about every detail that you do, remember the smallest detail, every ounce of
what you can remember with all your senses. Think about what it smelled like,
what did it feel like, what did it sound like, what did
it look like? Who else was around in your dormitory where they were.
Do you have that picture in your head? Yeah, all right, mister
Piffen wanted to hold on to that memory. And then I would like you
to go back a little bit, maybe a few hours before that. Mm
hmmm, and soil another time that you remember. Well, do you have
another moment? All right? And I want you to do the same thing.
What we're doing, Mischief Phiffin, is we're training your brain to remember
the moments. Because when you take a forgetfulness potion, it doesn't remove to
be married simply just mm covers it up, It muddies it up, fogs
it up. You understand. Okay, you remember this other moment? Yeah,
okay, in the same way. Now, mister Peppen, I want
you to clear your mind. Tried to imagine an empty space hmm, there's
nothing else there, okay, And now slowly begin to think about some of
the things that you're friend. As I told you, picture your friends there,
do you see them? Yeah, very good, mister Piven. And
you see your friends and you were were in the Great hall at the table.
Okay, you're in the great hall. What what happened in the great
home, mister Pip from what my friend and it's got angry at me because
I because they they said something wrong and it hurt their feelings. Oh it's
if I'm sure that it is far worse in your head than what actually happened.
If they are your friends, and it seems like you have some very
good friends there. They've been in here many times, so many times.
It's almost like this is another dormitory for all of them, but they're always
here to support you. So even if your friends get mad or if you
say something silly, and then there is m h well, no doubt in
my mind that it is only for a brief, brief instant. Do you
understand, mister Phippiah. Yeah, I I I remember some more of its
close about it? No, sorry, you don't have to, okay,
but you're started to remember, and if you want to, that's what you
have to do, a right, And if you don't want to talk anymore,
I'm just over there. Thank you, Madam Pomfrey. Welcome. Miss
earth Cloud has provided several cookies if you would like one. You have cookies?
All right, I say thank you to miss earth Cloud. Thanks Rosie.
Yeah, anytime, thank you, mister Cloud. Anytime? Did you
like the cookies? Tell your good I am partial to the white chocolate myself.
I'll write that down in my notes so I know that for later,
but be careful. I can't have too many. Yeah, of course,
I would never dream of giving you too many cookies. Cookie he's her illegal,
totally wouldn't do that. Madame Poffrey slowly stands up, probably all kinds
of creaks and cracks as she does so, sounds like a board snapping in
half. She sort of pats you on the foot and she begins to toddle
off was he did I mess up? What do you mean? Mazye was
angry at me. I don't think you messed up. But also I'm not
dating you, so like I don't know, like you know what I mean,
Like I've never been alone with you and Mayzie, Well, actually I
have many times. That's not what I meant. I don't know, but
probably not. I think it's probably a misunderstanding. I love you both very
much, but sometimes I feel like you both say things that you don't intentionally
mean. Well, I definitely that just so I'll just listen to what she
has to say about it. Alaska, that's a very good that is cute.
Look at that cranium the size of Hogwarts. It's here. That's why
you're a claw. Big old brains. I need more. It's like when
you're doing masks or brain you know, you need more numbers to complete.
To some I don't have enough information to be able to affect it. So
she tails me stuff I can, I can flex it. Oh you don't
have all of the information to solve the clue. I'm yeah, I like
that. Like the board game, you need to find out which location the
wrench was in for the murder. Sure, yeah, I think that's a
really good idea. I think that you should just talk to her and figure
out what you're missing. Yeah, but what if she thinks that I said
something I didn't? Is it rich to Taylor? She's wrong? Does she
think you said something that you didn't say? I think so. I don't
think. Why would she be angry at me? But you don't really even
know if she's angry at your or if it was a misunderstanding you know what
I mean, because she was there before the pony, but she was definitely
angry. I could tell, but maybe it wasn't with you. Well,
I sat there next to her, and then she sit up and sat somewhere
else and are you sure you was? It was that angry looking and type
there was nothing on your shoes. No, it was breakfast. Oh well
I go outside before breakfast. I don't know if I have enough information to
help give advice on this, because it sounds like what you're saying doesn't make
much sense, because you would know if you said something mean, and if
you didn't say something you mean, amaze thought you said something meaning. You
just said, Hey, that's not what I said. Then I think Mazie
would be like, oh my gosh, my bad. Totally a misunderstanding.
I think you would make a sausage sandwich and ride off into the sunset on
the back of Mazy's broom. She said that I called her boarding. I
think boring you did? You were you maybe talking about the fact that we're
in a boarding school. I don't know, it's still fuzzy. I think
I need to Well, maybe you just talk to her dinner. Yeah,
okay, that Yeah, it doesn't sound like something you would say. She's
not like my like it's exciting to be around. Yeah, she's like the
most interesting person, Like she's gonna be like a famous quidditch star. And
she's very smart and she solves all these crimes and well they're not crimes,
but you know what, they're crimes against us, so crimes. And she's
so nice. How could you ever be bored? She's got that laugh that
she does where she's like like, how could you? How could you not
love that? You know what I mean? You could get bored by that.
I listen that laugh all day long. If I could take that laugh
and put it in cookie though, flying Opportunity, you know what I mean?
Yeah, it'd be really good cookies. I think it's gonna be fine.
I think you too, just need to like maybe sit down and talk
about your feelings. But like, I think you should write a letter.
I do, I do you think? Because I've watched you to communicate and
it does feel sometimes I can like, well maybe I'll want you word fives
back, but I won't know what to write yet. Solid write it down
before I say it out loud. That is perfect, So it's like a
script so I don't mess it up. Yeah, and be like, excuse
me, I have some things to say, and I've been practicing it,
and then you say it like you're in a play. We've done that before,
but don't do it like that. Play No thanks, Rosie. Yeah
anytime? Do you want another white chocolate chip cookie? M No, save
those from Madam Palmer the O. You want it? Just a standard chocolate
chip? Yeah? They here I go, Thank you, proud of you.
You've got this whole team. Deep breath all the other slogans, and
we switch scenes. We join our griffindors. Now, Olive, you've just
dropped Alex off at Madame Humphrey, and I think we see you Clem and
Mazie meeting back up as you are getting ready to head uh to your transfiguration
class. So, uh, Olive, we see you sort of rushing up
Mazie and Clem. You're probably just waiting right outside the transfiguration classroom getting ready
for class. Yeah, call me far away anyway? Did I miss much?
There you are? No? Are you? Okay? I'm all right?
I don't should we don't be mad? All right? Okay? Why
would we be mad? Well? Not at me but Alex. I mean,
I'm sure there's a lot of reasons that I could be mad at Alex,
But which one exactly? Do you mean? Oh? I don't mean
anything in particular. I just mean she's in the hospital wing, and the
headmistress thinks that he may have been given a forgetfulness potion, which is hard
to confirm because he can't remember given one who would give him a forgetfulness potion?
But when did this happen? Is he okay, I don't remember anything
ever again, No, it seems like it's only for a couple hours.
It seemed like he just thought it was breakfast time when it wasn't. But
I talked to the headmistress because I thought maybe it had something to do with
your ones or the weird things that have been happening lately. So I don't
really know what happened, but maybe just be careful and everyone, you know,
I don't know, don't let any other students like hand you a glass
of pumpkin juice or make up your dinner plate or something, because what if
someone slipped it into his drink and we didn't know, you know, how
did you know? Just the head mistress said it, that's what it looked
like, so she had me take him to the hospital wing. Why were
you with the head mistress, because when I was talking to Alex, I
thought I didn't really think it was like a memory thing. He was just
acting weird, and I got really scared, and I thought maybe someone was
pretending to be Alex, or he had been cursed, or that there was
something big and scary going on. So I told him that the headmistress had
asked to see me and that I was really nervous to go, and that,
you know, could he be a good friend and come with me thing,
And so he walked me to the head mistress office and I was like
quick ah, and then she It was really cool. It was like it
was like the head mistress was like a like a secret spy with me,
and it was like we had a code. It was She's honestly really cool.
Excuse me, she's really cool. Olive, You're really cool. You
tried the smartest people that know, and you tricked him, and you tricked
him into going to that and you knew, Oh my god, Olive,
that's metal. It was metal. That good? Yeah, I think,
so okay. Well, the good news though, is he's going to be
all right. And the head mistress seemed like, you know, it was
the right thing to bring him in, but I just he just might need
a bit of time to rest. So I didn't want you getting upset if
you didn't hear from him or something, because it's not his fault. He's
just resting in the hospital wing. Thank you. Thank you for telling me,
and I thank you for looking after him. I would have come to
get you to help with it, but I got a bit nervous that if
it was like an imposter Alex or something that, you know, that they
would know what was up and be able to tell what was going on.
So quick thinking, very very quick thinking. But just be careful just in
case there was someone else who did it to him. Okay, Oka at
you too, Yeah, oh that's it. We could come up with like
secret phrases, you know, like you know, anyone who was impersonating me
would not say that's metal, So you could always just look at me and
if you're unsure if it's me, you can be like, that's metal and
if I'm like yeah, you know, like a like a secret friendship password
to make sure that we're the right person, like the bean sandwich, like
being a sandwich. Okay, So, so if I ever think that Maisie
has been replaced by an impostor, and I say friendship password, what phrase
are you going to say? I don't know. I feel like suddenly I
have to reevaluate everyone everything that I am your favorite quidditch team. What's your
favorite quidditch team? My favorite? What a? What about Fiona? What
about my? What about so one? Because no one else will know the
name of your broom except for you and you? Yeah, that's true.
Sucks what you see now? We know that's true. Okay, that's true.
Yeah, because otherwise they'll just be like, yeah, I hate Fiona
because they don't know who Fiona is. That's true. He'sweet. What would
mine be? Though? I don't know what makes you really happy more than
anything else. It's off. But could people guess that? I'm pretty sure?
Yeah? Mmmm well, I'll think about it. What about an animal?
What about the name of one of your animals? Like Nimble? Like
Bimble? Okay, the animal that's not at Hogwarts because she's not allowed to
be. Nobody's ever seen or met her? No? Not correct? Okay,
good? Sure here. This has been an up and down day already,
and I'm just glad that yeh, both of you. You know,
I'm just glad that I'm glad that I'm not in it alone. Did all
same samesies, same sees? Okay, I'm on inside. The class is
about to start. Okay, I can grab both of their hands and run
in. You can hear Lily sort of motioning and yelling from inside classroom,
and you make your way inside for Transfiguration class. M how are you doing,
Maizie? I think like just a little bit out of it. When
I think if you've ever had one of those moments where you've you've been really
emotional and been really worked up about something and then you cry it out,
and then you're kind of like, oh, all right, okay, well
sort of everything's kind of this kind of I think I'm walking this line between
like relief and adrenaline and fear and covering up for like still being quite scared.
It's a bit of a yeah, okay, so I think sorry that
you asked. Now, I totally get it. I think that class is
probably it's sort of just kind of trailing off in your thoughts. Uh,
you know, as transfiguration goes, so it goes, transfiguration goes, it
does that thing where it kind of like goes slowly and quickly at the same
time, you know, sort of like when you're not paying attention, you're
like, wow, class is really dragging on, but like you're not paying
attention to the class at all, so it's not really it doesn't seem to
matter too much. And Transfiguration ends and you go to Potions, and I
would like to know how you were all feeling as we near time for defense
against the Dark Arts and dueling. I think Mazie over the course of the
class gets quieter and quieter and kind of regresses a little bit closer to what
she was at breakfast. But the noticeable thing is that she's she's physically shaking.
She hasn't eaten, didn't she didn't eat, and she's thrown up everything
that she did eat, so it's like physically shaking. So clem Olive,
either of you if you'd like to make a read between the lines, roll
you can. I'll be honest and say in character, I think Olive is
a little too freaked out at the thought of having to do all that.
I don't think she would notice enough to read between the lines to begin with.
I can probably I'm probably looking around trying to gauge because I'm feeling a
bit nervous, but I'm doing one of those like, well, how's everyone
else feeling if they're nervous, then then I should be even more nervous.
Big one between the lines with Mazie's with Mazie, my relationship with Mazie.
Okay, Nat, I'm gonna ask a question. Yeah, how are they
feeling? How she feels run down, exhausted before we've even begun, empty
like emotionally and physically empty and a lot of a lot of pressure. You've
seen her a little bit like this before big quidditch matches, but not quite,
not quite to this level. I'm a bit quieter than I would be
at pre quidditch, but that's probably the parallel that you see that. Okay,
So I think the three of you are making your way towards the Defense
against the Dark Arts class as you noticed this, clan, Hey, I
have a question for all of you. Okay, So after Defense against the
Dark Arts, because everything's going to be fine, what are you guys doing
tonight? On what homework? I hadn't really thought past the class really,
I don't think we should talk about it right right home? Wowk yeah,
homework? But after that, I was thinking things have been really crazy and
we have still been expected to do our full course load and we have still
expected to do extracurricular activities. So how do we feel about hot chocolate in
the common room? And I will read you, guys the book that I've
been writing. Really sounds lovely? Could that be nice? I think that
could be nice, you know, like fireplace, hot chocolate, cozy sweater
blankets, and then I can just read to you. It's not good,
but you know, maybe it could be. I really like it when people
read to me, so I'm sure it's going to be right. That sounds
perfect. Okay, cool, because no matter what's happening, we can still
have hot chocolate and hang out. So yeah, let's do that. And
we're gonna we're gonna do so good in defense against the dark Arts. It's
gonna be great and fine, so don't worry. As you walk into the
classroom, you can see the dueling platform set up with them. There's various
ornamentation about dueling and such, and you can maybe hear a few students sort
of chatting. Huffle puffs had had defense against stockots earlier. Did you see
anyone with any wounds or anything? Oh? I didn't. We should be
okay. I don't think there will be anything like real serious injuries or anything.
I hope not. Do you think Rosy missed dueling in the hospital wing?
Probably? I guess. So yeah, Olive's going to turn to the
student that mentioned that the Hufflepuffs had it earlier and go, you wouldn't happen
to have heard anything about Alciphist refusing to take part in the Hufflepuffs, would
you? Uh? Yeah? You look at a fellow Griffindor this would be
William Cobweb and he says, oh, no, I didn't hear anything,
Olive. Sorry, no news is good news, thanks will So she's going
to turn back to the group and go, I think it's safe to say
Rosie wasn't there. Then good for her, you know, pacifist and doll
all. I was going to reach over and just hold Maizie's hand, I
think Maze like quietly cries as she does. This is the this is the
everything's really stressful and if you hug me, I will cry kind of mood,
and she just like brush is something. He tries to be as like
silent as possible. Professor Professor Azolia Bovin walks in rather confidently, and she
again is a reminder as a slender body, shy eyes and a tense looking
face. She h enters the classroom and immediately everyone starts to quiet down.
Looking around the classroom, you can see everyone else is waiting, sort of
with baited breath as the possibility of having to duel up on a platform not
much higher than ground level. To be fair, it's about if you feet
off the ground like a desk. But it's it's a very long sort of
platform, and you can see that it has the Hogwarts houses inscribed in the
wood of the platform, very sturdy looking, with large posts of legs underneath
and some steps leading up and on either side, and in the center there
is a circle of the platform, and on either side you can see two
more smaller circles. Professor Bown stands in front of the platform with the class
sort of spread out mostly like a semicircle around, and she says, now,
students, as you are aware, today begins dueling practice. Yeah at
Hogwarts for the Gryffindors and for the hufflepuffs. Now, I know most of
you are probably rather tense about this whole situation, but I assure you we
will do so in a safe environment. There are safety protocols that have been
taken, especially with younger students such as yourselves, that are not normally in
this dueling class until fourth year. Now what does that mean for you?
Well, that means several things. First and foremost, today we will focus
upon defensive spells and defensive spells only. However, we will still be taking
a normal dueling stance as well as having a well an opponent of sorts.
What I would like for each of you to do is to choose a partner,
and the way that we will begin class is by teaching you the shield
charm. Now, I know many of you have heard of the shield charm
and you have spoken about it in charms class, and it is normally taken
and practiced in the fourth year to go along with dueling. However, as
a Flitwick has been teaching this early, so I would like you to all
practice the shield charm as a partner of your choosing will cross this and she
raises her wand and you can see or muttering something under her breath, as
several objects begin to float all around the classroom, and you can see that
they are well, they look a little bit like a ball of some sort,
smooth and hmm. About the size of a baseball. They begin to
float up around her, and slowly but surely, they begin to float over
to every student's hands, and she says, this will be your practice.
And the ball lands in each of your hands. And it is kind of
heavy, maybe weighs about a pound or two. And it is well,
it seems to it seems to feel a little bit like a water balloon.
And she says, if the bowl penetrates the shield charm, well you'll be
having to cast a drying spell. Declare the ramifications. Is this understood?
She looks around. I can't hear you Glass, Yes, yes, yes,
professor. All right, now everyone, please partner up, just just
partners, just just two people. Can we be a three one partner reach
please? Missus Skyla. I'm going to turn to Lily and ask if Lily
could, do you want to be my partner? Sure? It's sorry,
I'm Mazie. That means, Mazie, you and Olive can be partners.
It's okay, yeah, that's that's I figured that that would be good.
Well, we can take time so we can trade off when we practice the
next bell. That sound good, Lily, Okay, cool, It'll be
all right. Maizy. Thankfully, it's only water after all, right,
Yeah, just a shower in class. At least Rosie missed it, so
I was thinking, at least Racy didn't have to. Yeah it small miracles
and all that. Okay, So Maazy and Olive and me and Clym.
Then, yeah, I just promise not to well to hit me in the
face. I would never hit you in the face. I only hit people
who deserve it. So, okay, you don't deserve it. At least,
that's what she meant. You don't deserve it. You'll never deserve it.
Yeah, No, you'll never deserve it. Don't. Sorry, there
are people who just automatically deserve it, you know what I mean. You
ever just meet a really punishable face. That's not you. She's not talking
about you, she's she's trying to tell you that you are not punishable.
Yeah, you'll know minus minus one hundred punish ability. Yeah, okay,
that's good. That's good. All right, everyone please find her up and
line up. I would like each of you to roll a D six please.
Okay. The students begin to head up onto the platform and Professor Boven
walks up to the center as well. Things sort of quiet down a little
bit. There's a few whispers and things in the audience here amongst the Gryffindor
students, and you can see that Malcolm O'Leary and Bartholomew Witters, one of
the occasional entourage of Ashley Indigo, step up onto the platform. As Professor
Boven says, now, since today is about defensive magic, I would like
one of you to throw the ball, the other one to cast the shield
charm. And again, students, if Professor Flidwick has not done so,
this is how you cast a charm. And Professor Boven begins to circle her
wand in the air, and you see this irridescent semi circle of a uh
of energy sort of appear in front of her as she says Partago, and
both of the Gryffindors sort of nod their heads. She says, now,
Malcolm, I would like you to throw the ball first, and we will
go back and forth. Okay, Professor Boven, All right, Professor,
Now the way that the dool is done here is you will enter the circle
on either side. I'll come you there both following me. You there,
on the count of three, you may puss the ball She steps back away
from the central circle off to the side, and we see both students line
up and prepare. Malcolm gets the ball ready on the count of three,
one, two, three, and Malcolm throws the ball and Bartholomew raises up
his one prtago and the shield charms springs to life as we see the iridescent
semicircle form. The water splashes against the shield as several droplets of water rained
down across the stage. The professor casts another spell and we see the water
dry up. Next Bartholomew, several other students begin to take their positions,
and much water splashed against the shields, and then she says, it's Kayla,
when your pardner, please come up, Please, you got this.
I'm gonna give her like a very slight push, like a lower over,
and turn it into a walk forwards. It's fun. It's like a like
a snowball fight, all right, right, I just don't hurt anybody so
much. They could go wrong. Well, if it makes you feel better,
I could use a shower, so worst case scenario, I get good
bath out of it. Now. Then a few soggy students here and there
doesn't mean much. You'll be fine, Miss Schuyler, take your position please.
Okay, all right, Miss Everglade. You'll be throwing the ball first.
And remember, Miss Skuyler, shield charm. Please have you practiced?
Yes, make a convinced role please. It was the squeakiest and longest.
Yes. Mm hmmm. You're a rumph basically come from Professor Bown and she
looks towards you, Miss Everglade. Are you both ready? So when you
say throw, did you mean like underhand or I'll figure out that partago and
the circular yes, Miss Gaida, okay, mm hmmm. Now take your
positions on account of three one two three, prittego. This is a fourth
year spell that you are attempting, Mazi, so that a minus one on
that. Yeah, oh my god, how cast the spell? What happens?
I'm completely taken aback by this shield that that just spills out of my
out of my want, and it's quite powerful. I'm not expecting it to
be so powerful, so I have to kind of put some room between me
and the end of the wand and I laugh when I'm looking at it.
And I didn't think what it would be like looking through this shield of olive
and it's funny, like she's really fuzzy. I can't see her. There's
water everywhere, and so there's this moment of like pure joy and like laughter,
and all I can see is this absolutely giant shield. It's far bigger.
I'm so surprised, like all all of this stuff. Yeah, it
just Ala looks like she sat the splash zone at Sea World. You're suy
and I'm sorry. I definitely screamed. By the way, like when it
went well, I was like a good job. I run straight over to
Olive and I don't care that she's absolutely drenched. I just give her the
biggest hug ever. And now I too, am also completely drenched. Thank
you, didn't it well, Skyla? I get it. Now it's your
turn. Please return to your position, exchange places with Olive, and you
can see Professor Boven casts a spell on you, Olive, the drought charm,
drying you off. And now I stand there waiting for her to do
it to me because I'm also completely work and that not much, and she
just doesn't. She does not Yeah, okay, oh on the counter of
three, please miss Guida seven ade one two three, say you go,
and we see the semi circular shield form in front of Olive. As the
water splashes harmlessly against the shield charm. You did it, we'll screaming again.
Students are cheering as more of water falls harmlessly to the ground. Lily
and Clamm are cheering, and lots of collaps and happy whoops around the rest
of the classroom. I run an hoog o live again, jump up and
down with amazing and she's gonna go. It's a fourth year spell. Did
you hear? We we did it? We did it. I'm not supposed
to people to do it until next year, but I think we did a
really good job. I went. I think it w was. I think
we did well done. You knew I knew you could do it. You
could do it. I did it too. It's school sanders. Mm hmm,
yeah, gone, come gone, leave, You've got this. I'll
make them like low fives. As I walk past, as you low five
me like I'm still completely drenched, and as you low five me, there's
just this giant like squealsh and like splash of water. Okay, hey,
good luck, Clem, you too, and uh, Lily and Clem take
their positions. Professor Bown looks at either of you are you both ready?
Yes, all right, please Miss Potter, if you could throw the ball
at Miss Goosanders first, Miss Goosanders, please ready your shield charm. Okay,
all I was like holding a little thumbs up and like, you can
do it, Clem. All right, on the account of three one two
three protago What happens as you fail? Clem? I think pure hubris,
like I was just feeling the hype of what I just witnessed, and I
wasn't really paying full attention, like I wasn't being very diligent in the casting
of the spell. I was just kind of like protage, and so I
think, uh, I don't know, like maybe reverse shields or something like
pushes me away or something like that. I don't know. Okay, So
the shield charm doesn't quite work out as maybe there's uh it's it seems very
fragile, and the ball of water just kind of instantly crumples the shield charm
and we see bits sort of falling away as you are hit full on with
the water. Clem, drench Oh, I'm sorry, Clem. It's okay,
ah ah, unfortunate, this goes doun. Just what is your favorite
class? By the way, it is yeah, it's a defense against the
dark art. That would have been a six, by the way, but
I remember still Fortunately it still doesn't work. Yeah, Lily Uh sort of
reaches out. I think we'll be leaving you that way, Miss Goosanders for
now? Why all right? Okay, it's okay. Why it's like,
start walking down. She hasn't been practicing her shield charm, miss Everglade.
Just because she couldn't pull it off in front of an entire class, you
assume she hasn't tried. You're going to punish her by keeping a wet for
it. Oh, it's nonsense, Miss Everglade, been practice and you still
didn't do It's okay, who do you think you are speaking to? I
think i'm speaking to a very unsupportive professor, and I'm aware that i'm being
rude, but I'm a student and you're supposed to encourage clem and you're being
really mean. And I've seen how hard she's been practicing, because I practiced
with her and she minus ten points to Gryffindor. You should not be speaking
back to your professor's Miss Everglade. You shouldn't be punishing her. And she
casts a spell and m m hmmm, Olive, you can't seem to open
up your lips. What did you do to her? The same thing I
will do to you if you do not remain silent with Skyla. What So
it's a problem when the student stands up for another student who's been working really
hard and just couldn't do it the one time. I mean, that's a
surefire way to make a young witch disinterested in studying, just because you couldn't
pull off the first time. Oh it's right, you know, And I
don't care if you silence me too. She casts a spell, and you
have a difficult time opening up your mouth, and she says, now,
now, miss Skylet, ten more points from gryffind Or. You had given
me rhythm, if you had given me a chance to speak instead of being
cheeky, then I would have said for a moment. But if you continue
just speak out of turning class, well, then I shall remove more points
from Giffriendor and perhaps send you to the head mistress. She then casts spell
the Drought Charm on you, clem, and you are dry again. Lily
looks around and she's biting her lip. She's got a stern expression on her
face. She raises her hand. Professor. No, miss Potter, I
think that's quite enough, Professor, Miss Potter, Professor, I think that
was very mean. Do you now? Well, then I shall make a
note. Shall we continue the lesson? Fine? I'm ready, Come on,
Clem. On the count of three, one, two, three,
Lily readies her wand prtego Clem. Do you throw the water ball? Yeah,
but probably not with like a lot of gumption. You know. I'm
just kind of like this was a horrific, horrific public embarrassment and pain suffering,
So I'm just kind of like, yeah, throw it. And you
see Lily's shield sort of flutter and it collapses. Oh, it appears that
missus Potter needs to practice as well. The professor looks at both Maizie and
Olive. I'm gonna give her a really dirty look. As soon as she
says that, I'm just gonna like turn and look at her. She raises
an eyebrow and casts the drought charm and dries you off. And then there's
another casting of a spell and you can feel your mouths able to move again.
Maisie and Olive, now if we can continue with the class please,
next, I'm gonna go and grab Lily by the hand and walk off the
platform with her hand in hand, like very sternly. You didn't have to
be so mean. I'm sorry you guys didn't have to do that. You
know too much. I'm get yourselves in trouble just because I couldn't do a
spell. It's not because you couldn't do a spell. Because she was being
really mean about the fact that you couldn't do a spell. She was going
to I guess soggy and wet. I mean, I guess I could have
practiced harder. Well like, okay, well that's besides the point, though,
Clem and I didn't practice at all. I guess that's why I'm still
well. We made it through. I can't get any worse. I guess
that's probably good place for us to take our break. Thank you for that
setup. Yeah, I can't wait to find out how it gets worse.
Thank you for that setup. We're gonna take a little bit of a break
here, folks. You have the cast, a chance to use the bathroom,
have a snack, have a drink, et cetera. So we're just

As Defense against the Dark Arts wraps up, the Gryffin Doors are well a
little upset with Professor Bown and how's everybody feeling otherwise? Otherwise, honestly,
like, is this an honest, actual question. Yeah, I want you
to lie fine, so good, just nailing it, crush on life.
Mazie's not said anything, She's just been grumpy and staring and like to think
Toddler's drop equivalent. Okay, I think all of us somewhere between being just
as mad and then every now and then really angrily looking over it. I'm
like, you did a really good job, CM, like I could tell
you were really trying, and then she'll just like go back to like frowning
into space. So classes wrapped up? And where are you headed? What
time of day is it? What's your last class? On Monday? Food
should go to the hospital wing to see if should we go to the hospital
and to see if Alex and Rosier Okay, yes that's a great idea.
Don't forget we have the thing tonight. Yeah, no, definitely. You
guys didn't really have to do that, Just so you know, like you
don't got to do that. I mean, I really appreciate it, but
I just don't want you guys to get in trouble just because I'm bad at
magic. Wow, you're not bad at magic, And she didn't have to
make you feel so bad about it either, So I think we're even it
was really weird what she did with your mouths. Oh yeah, no,
I'm going to be talking to the headmistress about that with friends now. Your
friend's cool, Yeah, but that right. Yeah, I'm all for shutting
me up if I'm being on like, I get it. I would probably
do the same if I were teaching me as a teacher. But you would
have much more respect than that. Well, I wouldn't use magic to like
force a student to do it or just tell them to shut up. Probably
wouldn't last long as a teacher, to be honest, I think you'd be
a really good teacher. Actually, me do. I would do well as
like a homeschool teacher for students who get kicked out of our guards or something
like rebellious rebellious student teacher. I don't think I would do well being in
a classroom and being more serious and oh miss Everglade ditched and miss schoolsh and
does that, Like I just couldn't do it, no, board just thinking
about it. So, what you're trying to say is that you would teach
students like us. No, that's what you're trying to set your own.
You're not swap. You would person tutor or they're going to be other members
of Swat in the future. You know, future generations of Swat are kids.
Oh I'm not gonna know kids. Well not Clem's kids apparently, but
yours males out. You just said you didn't want any I'm having children with
Alex now lived a bit early for that. I'll sen you get into this.
I just said I didn't want to be a teacher. No no,
no, you said future generations of Swat, and I thought you meant children.
But do you mean like the next like like, are we going to
recruit first yes? No, no, no, no, we who couldn't
trust them with Swaff in order for them to be Swaft kids. That would
be like a pure blood Swarf. But but you don't have to be a
child of Swaft to be a child of Swat. You can be like a
thought child of Swaff to be a child of Swaff. I think maybe the
easiest solution is I just don't become a teacher one day. I think that
solves everything that we have going on conversationally. I guess it might. Yeah,
I guess so. I just thought you'd be a good one. Well,
that's why I'm going to have only one student, and it's your kids.
Apparently a private tutor not decide that Alex and I are going to have
children before we just been yours. Oh oh, oh oh, who's jumping
to conclusions now? You said, oh you said, you said Alex,
you said yours, and Alex, that's what you said. I didn't say
it this time. You didn't have to make me so cute. Stop it,
all right, I'm just saying, you know, you need a good
tutor. One day, and I guess I could free up my schedule.
We should go to the hospital wing though we don't want to, you know,
if things to do very important homework. Will he remember who I am?
Yeah? Of course, why wouldn't hey, I just don't really know
much about them. Forget one's versions. I think the Alex could forget you
if you tried. Yeah, it's just a few hours, not years.
So will he forget that I threw up this morning? Or because it was
you want him to forget that you threw up this morning? Yeah? He
forgot. He didn't mention it at all. But what did he really do?
I'll live. I don't want to hear what you think. I'll want
to hear it. When he actually will, he remembers, I'm just assuming
when I saw him, he thought it was breakfast. So unless it happened
before breakfast, I think you're in the clear. Oh you think then,
I mean thought it was breakfast. But we saw him. We saw him
after he supposedly took the forgetfulness pustion, right, and that's when you were
throwing up. So, I mean, there's only one way to find out.
Sure, right, let's go. I mean if I can, if
I you're gonna cast potato, I can do anything. Right. Oh,
I'm sorry, clem, I didn't mean. I just meant that, like
I usually. I'm really sorry. I didn't think. I just really it
was so inappropriate. A sorry, I I'm I'm so sorry. I just
expected that I wouldn't get it right, and I was trying to feel good
about myself, And I'm sorry crazy I was seeing sarcastic. I was speaking
a joke. Well, so you're not mad at me, No, it's
silly. If I was mad at you, it would be so silly of
me to be mad at you. The joke is that it would be so
stupid to be mad at you about that. That That's why I was making
the joke. So you're good, you're good, You're good. You're good
us all the time, you know, except where I live. That's not
true. You just only see when I do well. You just don't see
the ones don't go well. All right, So we share a dorm,
we spend all the time together, and we're in all of the same classes,
and we don't see all of your spells that you secretly cast in private.
Yes, that's crass, and get wrong. We only see all because
the bad ones don't exist. You're not with me twenty four to seven.
You don't know. Mm hmmmm. I think we have to stick with her
twenty four seven from now on to conink we should. We're the only way.
It's the only way to find out about this spell cast dilemma. Yeah,
well, we have to see every spell you cares. You're about to
learn a lot about me. Then I have a whole secret life. At
night when you all go to sleep. How many animals exactly did you smuggle?
Because I think they're visiting is at the hospital. Wing are going to
be over soon. If we don't start, I was gonna start walking towards
the hospital. I think I remember the draw rattling. Do we do we
know what Rosie is, It's just I didn't. I just feel I feel
like I probably should eat something. And it's been a long time since I
felt hungry because we spend so much time with Rosie that I kind of forgot
what it felt like. And now I'm like feeling a bit fuzzy, and
I just feel like Rosie could fix it. She's good at cookies, and
Rosie is very good at cookies. I think that I think that she will
probably have done some cookie fixing. She's still hospital wing, aloof I mean,
she may have left during HS, but can I she was there when
I left. Can we can we take something for her? I mean,
now that's just gonna sound like I want something to eat, but and I
do, But that's not what I mean. I just think that if Rosie
has been in the hospital wing, then she's gonna want a fresh supply of
cookies and it will really cheer her up. So if we can find some
on the way to the hospital wing, then maybe that would be a nice
thing to do. Add some potatoes. What about both potatoes and cookies?
Yes, okay, potato cookies, yes, I think so. Or maybe
that was just when the mashed potato had been in her pocket so long,
and then she accidentally sat on it. And then there was those things that
we thought that might be chocolate chips, but I'm not really sure what they
were. Actually actually pretty surprised she's still alive, to be honest. Yeah,
maybe we can stop buy and see Lotti on the way. Right?
Should we divide and conquer? Or maybe we should just go together? I
mean, it can't be too can't take us too long to swing? Can
buy the kitchens and grab something and then go to the hospital? Wing?
Can it? Will it? I don't really, I'm not all right timing.
If we just speed, then we can we get there in time,
I think, right, unless you wanted to split up olive if in case
there was something you needed to grab or do or something. Mm hmmm,
Lauren, just nervous about, you know, keeping our tutor waiting. Oh
oh, we still have time, though, don't we. Yeah, it's
not for a little while. I just don't want to lose track of time.
So that's okay. We'll just I'll just keep an eye I'll just keep
an eye out. Okay, we'll be we'll be efficient and swift swifficient swat
fishing. H I high five Lily. I'm still drenched by the way.
I feel like I might have dried part the way through the class. But
so I was gonna start, like, you know, leading the way,
but still checking her watch every couple of seconds. Okay, two hairs past
a freckle and you uh, you pick up some food and you make your
way to the hospital. Wing Alex, Rosie, what's going on as you
see your friends walking? Oh, we can see them coming in. I
freeze, Hi, Hi, I start making my bed with you in it.
Did you my back? Yeah? My back to them? Fix it?
I I lead with a cookie, and I feel like before I've even
got within touching distance of Rosie, She's what is that is that for me?
Can I have this? I've been eating all my day old cookies and
it was so sad. Mm hmmm, Diank you sight the cookie? How
are you feeling me? Or is he who else? Do we just hand
a cookie too? I just didn't know if you're talking Alex, because Alex
is here too. By Alex, Alex is tired, it looks like by
Alix and are you okay? Just flexing to bed Mazie, it's been so
long. Can I have a big hug? I give her a big hug.
I would like to quietly whisper a Maze's ear. I think you should
go doctor Alex. Is he okay? No? Love you? Thank you
so much for the cookie. I'll walk over to Alex and as I see
him smooth part of the bed down, I just like, really quietly just
put a cookie on the bit of a bed that he smoothed down. I'm
sorry? Are you sorry? I hurt your feelings? You didn't know hurt
my feelings. Your feelings got hurt because of something I said. It's the
same. Really, what are you talking about, Alex? When yet breakfast
the real breakfast, not lunch breakfast, Alex, It's okay that that wasn't
you. I I was just really nervous and sick and you tried your beast
and you don't need to be sorry. I love his lunch. You ver
second lunch, lunch breakfast? What happened at breakfast? Breakfast? Breakfast?
Breakfast? When you said that I called you boring? And then Rosie was
more fun than you and the other stuff. It's still about fuzzy and you
got mad and you didn't sit next to me, and then I had to
go away. Oh yeah, it's just she said that you wanted somebody else
on AE day because I didn't. Okay, I thought about it. Can
I try and say it how it was supposed to be? Said, Okay,
barn you want. I wouldn't ask Rosie yet because he was too nervous,
and I wanted an excuse to bring him together, to make it easier
when because our last date ended with my want making a big explosion, we
could just say that we were nervous about going on another date because that one
had such a bad thing happen at the end of it, just so that
they would feel like they had a reason to be there. And Rosie's so
much fun, she'll make it bright so we won't have to think about the
thing blowing up. It was just really an excuse, but I didn't I
was so focused on helping Bonnie out with that. I didn't think how it
would sound to you, or I didn't even explain it properly because my head
goes too fast sometimes and only some of the words get it properly. But
it wasn't like you're not like it's you're not boring, and Rosie's fun and
sure, but it's like I get I feel excited just to see you.
You don't even have to be doing anything, and and it like it's fun
just to be around you without doing anything. Even you don't even have to
be fun for you to be fun of my making sense, So you can
just be. You don't have to try and make me feel better. Just
you being around makes me feel better. Not when you're angry at me,
though, because that means I did something that makes you feel a bad thing.
I don't want you to feel a bad thing. Did any of that
make sense? I think so, because it was all meant to be good
things, and I don't know that just sounds like bad things. I know,
I know, thank you. That's might just be the nicest thing that
anybody's ever said about me. That's just put it. When I'm around that
thinks to just banner like sausages days banner and they're really are your favorite.
Yeah, And I am a little hungry, but I can wait until I
finished apologizing properly. H I don't really know what to say, Alex,
you have been so nice and it's what I'm supposed to say or do.
What do you? What do you? How are your feelings? What are
your feelings? What are you feeling? I like roll the bed sheet between
my fingers? Uh, bed cheat? How well you've made the bed?
But you don't said feelings? Are you happy? What's that? I'm I
am relieved, I guess I I think relieves a happy feeling. I can't
it as a happy feeling at least. I don't know if I ever really
did think that you wanted to date Rosie, But that's what it felt like.
I wanted to spend time with her because she's fun and things, Alex,
but I'm not very fun. You are very fun. But that wasn't
it. That was just the reason we That was the cover story that we
were telling people for the reason we wanted her to come along. We really
were just gonna leave her and Barnie together and go, oh, we forgot
to grab geez, and then no, we can say that because she has
cheese. For sure, we would think of something that Rosie never has in
her pockets, soap. We forgot soap, and then we would run off
to get soap. But really we were just leaving Barnie and Rosie together to
talk. I feel comfortable each other, and then we'd have a secret date
somewhere where we just chat and and just hang out and and I don't know,
I don't care what. We just be around and just and absorb with
amazing and trying not to say anything stupid. I maybe we can, maybe
we can get Rosy and Bonnie together on a date, and we can go
on the date and ask them to help us on all of those things,
and then maybe we can surprise them, like where Isy, what's going to
do with us with the basket? But like safe, like something safe and
not something that's gonna involve expoding Ron's And I don't know. We can think
about it, but first I think I owe you a proper, a proper,
a proper date that doesn't end with a physical injury. I don't know
if that one counts. So would I like to go in another? Another?
Another? And would you like to go to another day it's just us
it? Yes, please, Alex, I would I can't care for a
very Whenny free tomorrow tomorrow, I don't know, I would like to.
I'm not just saying I don't know, because I'm saying yes and then never
giving you a time that's not the kind of okay that this is. This
is like an actual okay where I do really want to do it, and
I'm really really pleased that you asked. But the thing is, I just
probably need to consult my diary, which I don't have with me, and
I would like to do that before I set a date, because I don't
want to have to lay down. Yeah, okay, that's that makes sense.
I definitely I can nervously offer a hug. I'll walk into his hug
and rest my rest my head in like the crook of his shoulder and neck.
How are you feeling much better? I can't tell why. Maybe it's
caused roses around. I take a step back, So it's choke. I'm
sorry. That was a joke. It was a bad joke. It's definitely
look as you're around and I got a hug. Oh I'm sorry. Let
me make it up to you and I as quick as I can give for
a peck and cheek his sausages, and I don't run out towards a great
hole. I like to look herround the room to see if anybody sold up.
We can have some notice. Something rolls? Yeah, so who wants
to make the rolla can't we all? Can't we all just notice it?
No? Okay, I would like to make a notice something roll? Okay?
And who would you like to help? Clem or Olive? Am I
helping someone? You? Oh? Who would I would like to help me?
Clember Olive? Great question everyone is trying to Let's just do clem.
Okay, y'all have the same for me. So okay, So I think
you caught part of the conversation, but I think you missed the peck on
the cheek? Did But so what I did here is I did hear Alex's
bad joke to Mazie so I can rag on him later. Okay, good,
because that's what I wanted to really pick up on, so I could
be like, Alex, what were you even thinking? Thank you? You
definitely saw him like run off, you ran away, like hiding behind the
yelled sausages and let you yelled sausages and dipped. Yes, did Maze Mazie
going with him? Macy is just like like stood frozen still with this look
of complete disbelief. She sort of looks like she's simultaneously about to scream,
burst into tears, and like like cray of happiness, a cross surprise.
There's just a lot going on, but she's just very still mazy. Okay,
she looks like she might be her pants. She looks like she's got
some bucketing going on. It's a bucket. Why did he yell sausage like
that? He must be hungry. Oh my gosh, Mazie, you should
take him to the great Hall. I think Alex is hungry. Okay,
are you okay there? Clem? Did he fart? No? I don't
think he's Oh he might have maze? Did he want to walk the area?
Amaze? He kissed me? What? What? Boy kissed me?
Oh? No? The opposite of a fart? Right a kiss? Yeah?
He is the opposite on your on your cheek? Are you sweaty?
Who do we do? What do you mean? Look at you? Go
hang out with him? Right? Yeah, you go. I'll have dinner,
running run out crazy chases after Alex? What about the three of you?
What do you do? Oh my god? What did we do?
Oh my god? Do we well? We need to eat dinner too?
Right? Yeah? But should we like walk slowly? Definitely? Should we
like take food from the kitchen and like let them have the table to themselves?
Oh, we could just go up early to the you know, grab
some food, bring it out. I have a little Yeah, picnic sounds
nice. Picnic sounds nice. Notoriously difficult things to do in this castle,
but you know it does so nice. No, he don't seem to go
well here do they. I just don't like people going outside and eating.
I guess I don't know he took clarify he didn't fart, right, No,
he kissed her. Well, could have been both. It's an actually
tracking someone. I would know the answer to that question. It's not at
the same time, But it doesn't mean it couldn't have the time. I'm
not saying they couldn't. I'm just saying it doesn't have to buy default mean
it happened at the same time they were talking. What nothing, It's just
you know, I uh, never mind. Oh no, Clem, What
no. Clym was worried about me because I eat a lot of garbage.
And there's a chance that when I potentially had my first kiss that I might
I might fart and kiss at the same time, right, Clem, Yes,
Rosie, didn't you have your first kiss already? I don't think that
counted because of the whole manipulation thing, right right, Yeah, I like
to think that that was a magically induced kiss, like almost like you have
a magically induced coma sort of thing. Yeah, so that wouldn't don't think
of it as your first coma because it's magically induced. No, yeah,
exactly. Do you think we're going to have a lot of comas? Who
can know? I hit my head all the time. You don't. It's
a good thing that we have made in Bumfrey. I guess I think I'm
ready to leave if yeah, anyone else says yeah, yeah, no,
I'm good to go. Sam, all right, and off you go.
Meanwhile, Alex, you are rushing off as quick as can be. Uh,
please be quick and quiet? Ain't an eight, mazy? Could you
please be quick and quiet? I think, Alex? Mm hmmm, which
are you trying to be quick or quiet? Quick? For sure? Okay.
You can probably hear Alex rushing down the steps, Mazy, and you're
a little flustered chasing after him. What do you think happens? I think
I'm babbling to myself, you know what, and I'm so like, oh,
so it's really important to remember that I have not eaten all day,
and I threw up. So I'm like, I'm like shaking. There's adrenaline.
A boy just kissed me. I'm like babbling to myself. I'm bit
all over the place. I'm pretty dizzy anyway, I probably like nearly fall
over about one hundred times. Like I'm just there's no way that I have
the capacity or brain space right now to be quick or quiet in any capacity.
You can maybe hear someone rushing after you and babbling behind you, Alex,
as you're rushing, where are you going? Sausagecheese? Okay, you
are rushing to the Great Hall. You're pretty quick here, even though you
can hear someone babbling incoherently behind you. Noticed something, Yeah, you definitely
think it was Mazy battling. I scared to a halt and pell my wand
and rush back towards her, rushing back up the steps. See Alex and
Mazy you're sort of probably sprawled like on the floor, stubbed your toe on,
probably a suit of armor or something. Sure, you're okay? Do
you wanted to have you exchanged nicense? Just I was just coming to find
you. Oh and you know like sausages, right? Did you want to
want to go and get you can, we can be who we can just
do the green hold together if you if you aren't okay, yes, h
mm hmm, yeah, let me help you up. Thank you. I
like I don't politely use Alex's weight, like I really use him and only
him to get up, Like, yeah, once I help you up,
Well, let's let's go the great hall I turn. I just I just
don't let go your hand. Let's we go. It was was the sof
was that was? Okay? Mm hmm? Which part you made? The
the the part the part that you you did? You did? You did
the first technically, Yes, yesterday I was making a team and mm hmmm,
well they said you have a personally Again, I wasn't quite sure how
much you would remember. I remember that cooks, you're kids three, you
did it first, that's true. Yeah, we're even even balls in your
court? We Does that mean it's my turn? Mm hmmm mm hmmm.
I don't know if that's how it works. Look, we have to we
have to take you, take you in terns to I don't know. I
was just feeling it in the moment, like to rescue myself from a bad
joke. So maybe we just we just as we feel it in the in
the in the moment, we just we will just go with the with the
flow, okay, okay, usually looking a little pet pale, are you
feeling okay? I just it's been a strange day, Alex. It's been
a strange day. Yeah, And as I forgot some of it and then
I remembered it again. So yeah, I cost particular a really good one.
It's a really really good one. And you could do it. Oh
I didn't, amazing, I well I did, so just trust me because
I'm pretty smart. I don't know if you've heard. Actually I did.
Actually I did know that one. Okay, well, well we'll get job.
It's fourth year, so it's tricky. Extra it's I was reading and
the Magical development that I read over the summer. They're part of the reason
that they stagger spells. It's because well obviously they're technically difficult when it comes
to incantations and want movements, but there's also an aspect of it to do
with you know, you can call them like magical paths, so like the
brain magic connection stuff, and just like that needs to learn how to kind
of control and channel more powerful magic. So the hardest bells and so for
you to do that means that you're you've got some good channels, thank you.
I like your channels too. Yeah. That that just that just means
that you're that you always have it within you to be able to do that.
You know, I do. So it's not it's not just the one
off you you're you can you can always be amazing and you can always be
and Alex you can always be well well, you can always be you hm
nep. I like that, Yeah, yeah, I like I like your
lots. I still holding alex hands, lead him into the great Hall to
our normal place at normal area mhm m hm. And you can see your
table and the smells of dinner. Wait, check the table and looking back.
Just to be safe now, I sitting on the on the bench,
take a look under for any exchangeness. Sure, please investigate Levin. Okay,
you can ask me some questions. Are there any traps? Yes,
but not the one that you're expecting. As you're investigating, you can see
Yale great twig making her way over to you. Something seems strange about her.
She looks a little off to you. Okay, so I guess that
kind of covers Is there anything strange physically about this? You can ask that
and I can give you more information. Yes, please, m Gail looks
like she hasn't slept. There's bags under her eyes, and she I think
she's kind of mumbling a little bit to herself or something as she's making her
way over to your table. May see something, Okay, you quick,
Gail's coming over here, and something looks strange about her. Something, Oh
she doesn't allo, well, make it, keep it wrong, just in
case she's got a curse on her or something. Did you want to hand?
I'll talk to her, okay, because she'll probably wants to talk to
me because a raven claw. And then I that's when I read about that,
and I would like to know if what do I know it's related to
this? Mmmm? It's who do I know that's related to it? Who
do I know that's related to him? So when I asked that question,
mmm, yes, okay, you have visited your mum in Saint Mongo's many
times now. You have seen some patients that look a little bit like the
way that Gail looks right now? Is it dangerous? Oh? Yes?
And I want to ask where is it from? But what I really want
to ask, is like, what's it? Cause? Like, how did
this happen? Where did she get this from? You are running through your
memories as quickly as you can. You're doing that thing where it's like you
get a flash of sort of like you know, like a memory or smell
or something that associates you with this situation, with this time, with this
feeling, and you're remembering that there were patients in Saint Mungo's that had gone
mad before, and she looks a lot like that. That is where we're
going to end the episode today. Oh, thank you so much for being
here today. Everybody. It's time for some end of session stuff. We've
got some end of session stuff to do, and I'll leave the creepy music
on just to you know, keep Yeah, thanks so much, thank you
to help with the anxiety. Really wow, I could play happy music if
you'd like. Would you like me to play happy music? Would that make
you feel any better? No? None of it would make me feel better?
Thank you. Sure, Well, let's try it anyway. Let's play
some happy music. Let's see if it works, shall we. Let's go
with this one. Wow, pure mockery, whack mocking me. It's more
likely than you think. Mock Stephen, Wow, mocked. Let's do some
indo session stuff. Let's uh, let's let's see that. We do have
some endo session mechanics. But if you haven't done so, please make sure
you're following all these wonderful people. Head on over to table story down TV

So let's go around the room here. Anybody have any traits that they would
like to adjust or if they feel like they have strayed from any traits that
they have, I don't think so you can pretty solid ud knees from there,
yeah, all right, fair enough relationships. I'm gonna give Mazie a
manless one just for not getting my joke. I'm kidding. It's a plus
one. You wrecked everyone with that one, after all I did for you.
Yeah, I mean thanks, but you're not amazing. Oh my,
after what we had together, this special Russian spy connection. I'm a hurt.
Savagery, absolute savagery. My my bluss one goes Alex too. Why
and I'm plus not a plus one to z. It's a plus one,
Alex. Where's the line with any of us anymore? That's my question.
Just a reminder that these relationships are to the characters. Were the characters.
I have a separate document I keep for the can you up one that I
keep for Wax Stephen, and I just give him minus one as I can
every week every cliff hung oh my god, every cliff. Actually I actually
write a detailed you to comment, which I will then post at the end
of the series. Just on every video. Carlo has so many minus ones
for me that she's actually drawn the cliff with them, the cliff of minus
ones, like people will use people will use typography to draw things like That's
yeah, my god, oh wow, all of your misdemeanors sans privately DM
me what my misdemeanors are? I would love to know. I don't think
the character limits long enough. What might all? Right? Who's next?
Relationships? Plus my own one to Alex. We had a moment, but
I don't want to give them the satisfaction. So I'm gonna give my plus
one to Clem oh just because I love clem That's it. Oh oh my
gosh, I'm gonna give my plus one to Mazie. It's actually really hard
because I wish I could give a plus one to both Olive and Maizie.
But I'm gonna give one to Mazie because I think I think that while I'm
very surprised in honor that Olive stood up for me, I also like sort
of feel like all of yelling at a teacher for my honor kind of still
fits within the like understanding of things that Olive would do, whereas I feel
like Mazie had to really overcome some serious walls and personal personal stuff in order
to do it. So I'm going to give my plus one to Mazy also,
so proud. Okay, classes, school rules, please take note of
any special bonuses you may have have this week. Okay, and where am
I starting with? Uh? Rosie? Rosie was the first one, alrighty
Rosie gets an eight. That's plus five points for the huffle poofs Amazy's one
I think actually with relationship. Yeah, all right, well, and I
shall start with the gryffin doors Mazie with a plus five for the Gryffindors,
Olive and Clem as well. Uh so this is three oh five, that's
right, and the huffle Puffs. I added rosies in and two more roles
for the Hufflepuffs. Oh that's a four. Sorry, next one, hey,
that's a twelve end points. Hey, Next up we have Alexander with
an eight for the raven clause gets five points and that is a ten for
raven Claw. It's one points. And last role is an eight. That

It's nice to meet you. Hi. You can find me on the
internet under the name Hello. It's Colo all one word. I'm currently playing
a lot of Mass Effect every Monday on Twitch. You could catch it and
then uploaded to YouTube every Wednesday, so somebody on YouTube you preferred to watch
over that, come say hi on YouTube. That woud be pretty snatty.
This week, I am playing The New Life Is Strange. We'll be playing
that on Friday. It comes out this week and I'm super very excited to
get stuck in. So if you want to, if you want to join
for a first fresh play of The New Life Is Strange, that you can
come and find me at six pm BST on Friday. Also, we do
this thing every week that I've never mentioned here, and I feel like I
should mention it. On Sundays, we get together and we talk about our
little victories for the week, and it's just a space where we can get
together and share the stuff that we're proud of. And sometimes it's like a
real big thing. And sometimes it's like, hey, I made it through,
or like I looked after myself in this particular way this week. I
did this thing that I'm really proud of, or I tried something, or
I worked on something, or I connected with somebody, all right, you
know, all of that kind of stuff, and it's it's becoming the highlight
of my week to just hear all these beautiful things. And I would love
to hear yours. So if you want to come and share that, come
come do that on Sunday on Twitch that you praise notacy tea, thank you
so much calling up LuxI why would you make me follow that wholesomeness? And
you know I'm the exact opposite coming out if you want to talk about But
I guess it'll never be that good, Okay. I would like to attempt
to make a swelling solution, which I think is a really cool potion ap
on hand because it doesn't require drinking. It swells the person on contact,
which I think sounds useful in a battle. So good to have in a
pocket. Actually probably dangerous out in a pocket if you think about it.
I'm just gonna roll for that and hope that it's perfect. Close. It's
a swell solution. Oh my god? How do I? How do I
notate that? But I normally do just put roll downin and brackets next to
it so I know the exact number. Oh I've been doing. Wow,
thanks for reminding me the exact system. I also have been amusing. Okay,
perfect. Thanks. I would like to point out that that LuxI actually
practices alchemy at Understream. Wait wait wait wait wait that was a two.
I actually got a ten. It's a year two. Ah you did it
is a perfect potion. Very nice. Okay, sorry, I forgot about
that. I always try to do it. You're younger, just in case.
I don't try year threes because they're so hard. Anyway, I do.
I have been practicing ALCO. That game is really fun if you like
potion making. There's a game that's out in demo right now called what's it
called Alchemy Alchemy something lu potion Craft, and it's so fun it's not fully
released yet, but there's still so much content. If you want to play
it for free, you can anyways, Hi, I stream video games,
know if you knew that or not by what I just said, but I
do for a living. I'm currently well after this, I'm gonna go play
the SIMS. They just like like refresh a pack where you can now have
nails. So I'm gonna play with that later tonight, and probably with one
of my chaotic families. I have three triplets in the SIMS and they all
just aged up into young adults and uh, they are all completely different people.
And I've been rolling dice for their sexuality, which I think is the
most fun thing ever. But I put heaterosexal on there twice because it feels
so common, which I think is very fine. Now unfortunate, but seeing
their dicexual yeah yeah, yeah, disectual, I have a whole Do you
want to retract that so that nobody throws up? Or do you wanna just
I think I'm just gonna go die, just gonna go anyway you're supposed to
be later and oh please, can I give everyone a minus one whack?
Please? I'm going to make a potion for my dow No no, uh
sorry, it took me a second. I had to find this correct sound
effect. There you go, thanks, myrtles. Oh hello, Hi,
Yes, what am I going to do? That's a good question. You
know what today was rough? So I'm going to practice my spellcasting and hopefully
that does something for me luck well? So yeah, Hi, I'm myrgles.
Uh does that? Does that? Do? I die? If that
happens? Nothing? Nothing happens right, like if it just it just fails.
It's really just up to you. It's really just up to you what
happened when you're trying to practice your spells? Cool? Hello, I'm Irgles.
I would uh love to tell you what I do. I don't know.
That's a really good question. Uh if you know, please let me
know. I am an animator and a storyboard artist by trade. But I've
been like working really hard in like my regular day job, and normally I
am supposed to be animating a film on my channel, like making a film
from scratch. I've been working on it for a year and a half.
And by working on it for a year and a half, I mean I've
been working on it for a year and hiatusing it for a half is what
it feels like at this point. So I don't really I don't really know
what to tell you. But I am an animator. So if you're interested
in animated content, and eventually I'll start working on it again, you can
come find me on Twitch. Thank you, thank you so much, Mergs.
Yes, and if you didn't know, she Mergles did a charity event.
Do you want to talk about that, tumorn because that went really well.
Yes, it went super super well. We doubled our goal for the
day, which was super exciting. It was for the Yeah, it was
for the trans Empowerment Project, which is an organization that basically works to give
assistance and support to transfoke to spirited and NB friends, primarily in the United
States and with a focus on h disabled, BIPOC transfolk so disability, bipod
transfer. Super great organization, very very passionate about what they do, and
it was a wonderful joy to do that charity stream and to support them.
So go check them out please, they do great, great work. Thank
you so much, Mars. It it works. I'm not even gonna try
to do anything hard today because I can't. I can't take it if it
doesn't go well, we're just gonna do social activities. And y'all, if
I roll below a pass, we're not gonna acknowledge it. We're gonna pretend
like it never happened. And we're gonna pretend like I just didn't get a
downtime mooth this week? All right? Can we just all agree just as
a community to do that. We luckily we don't have to. Has that
ever happened? Have I ever rolled a green in a downtime move ever?
Ever? Four times? Check? There's this cheat out? Cool. I
gotta bust one forward to my read between the lines. I literally don't think
I've ever had that before. I don't think that has ever happened. So
thank you for being a part of that. I appreciate it. I'm technically
a full time streamer, but I'm not streaming right now because I have some
weird health stuff going on. So if you want to hang out and play
video games together, but it's just so it's so hard to meet you right
now. I'm so sorry. That's not gonna happen for you. That's that's
not happening at all. So I don't know, hit me with your suggestions.
Y'all we're gonna our live tweet movies. Well, we'll do silly stuff
on FanHouse. I'm hanging out here in the meantime and uh, taking care
of my p soaked cat. That's apparently I'm looking at her shake herself off
onto my bookshelf over there. It's it's a it's a real good time.
My cat peterself in the middle of the show. I'm just gonna stop talking.
We saw that's so good. Yeah, it was so good. It
was the best one we've ever had, coming off of her while she was
shaking herself. I care after a shower anyway, Come say hi sometime.
I don't know. I'll be back to making content soon. Who please go
send nig some love? Please please? Uh zegotta kiss hi. I'm gonna
make a position and I'm gonna make a Veda mixed potion, which is a
