"Yeah, sort of," Vashti answered. "You should definitely start studying as soon as possible, I think, so you don't have to freak out about what to study come fifth year." Like she was now, even though she'd sort of starting preparing and studying for them before this year.
He just is. "That doesn't really tell me a lot," she replied. She'd never liked those "just because" answers anyway. And- torture?? "He...doesn't?" she replied, more liked a question than an actual answer. Where'd Louisa get that idea anyway? "Quidditch isn't torture," she decided to add.
Glancing up at the staff table when the girl mentioned the teachers, Vashti wondered who had been replaced. Hopefully there was someone to fill the spot of Herbology professor, and hopefully that person didn't like teaching about human-eating plants. She turned her attention back to Louisa though as the girl continued speaking. "You didn't take Defense against the Dark Arts before?" Wasn't that a required subject? Then again, to Vashti, every subject was required, so... "Oh, she's not that bad," she said in reply to Louisa's apparent dismay. "Really, she's kinda okay now."
Louisa raised her eyebrows at the Quidditch-Is-Not-A-Torture thing. "
Sitting on a broom for hours is torture to me." Not that she ever sat on a broom that long, not even during the flying lessons. Oh and speaking of brooms, "
Erm… you know Vashti um I.. bought a broom this year." She said quietly, forgetting about her discomfort toward the boy quickly, and smiled nervously. "
To…um.. you know… try to balance myself better….while flying." She added leaning in toward her friend. What if someone passed by and took that on her? Like Enya, her best friend? That would be a disaster.
Turning back to the staff table she nodded, "
I didn't attend DADA last year… but I studied some on my own to pass the exam." Which was a bad decision by the way, "
But I am intending it this year." She shot a meaningful look at the fifth year friend, "
You know, if I am going to take revenge for my kitten, I should do great in DADA. Right?" Hint hint.
The professor was okay now? "
Oh, I didn't mean the professor herself. I meant the subject she gave. I'd never done a potion right on my own.. and believe me if she just wasn't as serious as she is, I would've done better." Because Louisa was good at everything, and if something was wrong then it was someone else's fault.
*stares* who are you calling big headed?
