He smirked when she said that he was Harry Potter. "Yeah but better looking, right?" Hopefully the answer would be yes. He'd also take a no from Aboli. They were friends- no good friends- he considered. A weird pairing that somehow made sense? And then she pronounced it and he nodded with a smirk. "Def sounds like a goat in pain." He paused. "Buuuuut. in a pretty way?" Yes, he was oh so slightly trying to redeem himself.
Noah nodded. "Do you think we can see all the stars? Imagine if the northern lights crossed over us? That'd be beautiful to see on this map and outside..."Perfect date idea, Nam. Keep it in the book, yeah?
Aboli snoooooorted. "Not every queen. If my regality is that strong, I don't need a crown to show off my queenliness..." making words left and right here, it seemed. "Honestly, my mum is the true queen. She puts up with me and my brothers. She deserves the crown!" She admired her mother so much. She would never SAY that aloud to her - MERLIN NO - but she did. "Don't tell her I said any of this. She'll just get all......weepy." And emotional and whatnot. Aboli didn't need the awkwardness that came with that in her life.
"
Do the northern lights cross over Scotland?" she asked, eyebrows furrowed.
"I can't remember. Merlin, you know what I've realized since starting here? I'm really not knowledgeable at anything...I don't know a lot of stuff about ANYTHING besides Divination. Like...I don't know history facts...I don't have a store of Charms or Transfiguration knowledge...and I feel so stupid in classes. I have to take so many notes. I don't think I'm actually stupid! I just...like...I guess I'm more of a practical magic kinda' person. And once I study I remember...I just don't magically KNOW IT beforehand." It was something she had thought about a lot recently. She had classmates spewing off the list of potions ingredients that all came from goats...classmates who could spout the theory behind Transfiguration spells...like...Aboli didn't KNOW any of that before going into the class. If she had, why would she be attending school?!
She had figured it all came down to her private tutor's style. He had cared much more about her application of magic and very little of the logic behind it. Aboli could SEE the why's of that line of thinking, but she was very glad she was here for her OWL year. She would have felt so behind otherwise.
