And I don't ever want to be rewarded for something that isn't worth the work in the first place. If all its about is house points... well thats not a good enough reason for me. You do what you have to do, but I won't."

He listened patiently, twirling his wand through his fingertips as he marveled at Kyle's imagination. Or maybe she was just crazy. "Borr's motives are to make Borr more 'important'. None of that stuff will do one jot for Inferi. You need fire spells to fight them off. I think you're over analysing things. Kind of getting too into a fantasy there, Kyle. Kind of like in Northanger Abbey, when Catherine Morland makes up all these gothic conspiracies because she read too many novels and..." OH crud. Jim trailed off.

NOBODYNEEDEDTOKNOWHEREADSJANEAUSTEN!!!

"Or so I heard." He tried for a casual recovery, all smooth nonchalance.

Ahem.

"And theres no need to do a secret group of anything." He gestured at himself and Mia, quite openly practicing and learning things. "But like I said, you're welcome if you want to get in on this. We could all meet up weekly, just work on some things."

In other words, she was pretty enough that he didn't mind her hanging around.

"I guess I should introduce you or something. This is Mia." He gestured towards the Hufflepuff at his side. "You already know Ivan, right?" Jim looked over his shoulder towards where Ivan was still doing sit ups. Heh.

Ivan kept moving his torso up and down when he heard Mia ask him to stop. Laughing he stood up and gave her a smirk, "Well I have to do something to keep this awesome body," he said lifting his shirt slightly.

He looked over his shoulder to see James talking to a Ravie he recognized but couldn't remember the name and then just about died of laughter as he overheard something James said. HE READ JANE AUSTEN????? Of course...we'll ignore the fact that to know what he was talking about Ivan had to have as well. Yup just ignore that. In fact he was pretty sure they had to read a couple of those together for one of their many tutors...maybe.

The difference was that he wouldn't be going around telling everyone that he read...well anything. "You know for trying to keep a low profile on the smarts stuff James. You don't do a very good job at it." Ivan now. He did. Maybe James should take some lessons from him.
