Jake waited for that leeeeeettle rant to be over before finishing, pushing on with the weariness of someone who realises there is no point trying to sort something that couldn't be salvaged.

"I said I didn't expect it. I never said I had you figured out. There's no such thing as having a person 'figured out'," he shrugged. It was true; people were complex. "I apologised because to try and make yourself a better person, you need to be willing to do the things you need to do, even if it's in vain."

Oh yeah. Lafay's words thrown back. Mwahahah.

Sure, Jake had no idea before he started that it was stupid to mention how he didn't expect his apology to be accepted, which was why he'd said it. He was still quite unaware.

"Also, it's not an ambition of mine to be the best potioneer, mediocre is fine with me. I'm a jack of all trades, master of none."

Anyway.

"I've said what I needed to say, and I know I'm a pain in the neck so I'll get out of your office." Let you celebrate my leaving and all.

It was a shame it couldn't all be sorted, but Jake had finally resigned himself to it all. He'd apologised for it, and it wasn't exactly going to trouble him that it wasn't going to be accepted... he was genuinely just indifferent to all Hogwarts issues. Scary feeling, but there it was.

Shame he didn't ask for the signature, either.
