He should know that she asked a lot of questions all the time by now, no? "You seem aware enough of the system going around here, I think." She gave him a thoughtful stare. Uh-huh, he was sitting at the right table after the sorting, right?

"Nealan Cosgrove," she repeated getting the name into her head. "Nice to meet you, Nealan." And she said it quite seriously so that he knew she didn't really compliment people around. "Fifth year. Oooh. You have OWLs this term then." Louisa shot him a pitying look, she'd suffered last term coz of those nasty exams. "You need any help with that, just tell me. I practically lived at the library last year so I know where you can do excessive research or extra reading." Unless he was a non-typical Ravvie, like their captain Ellie. D:

Yes, he was indeed catching on that Louisa asked a lot of questions, but they were good questions, meaningful questions, and so he didn't mind them in the slightest, "It was just a convenient thing to do. My family has a wide enough skill-set that no part of my education was lacking, and I offered them fresh perspective on their work." Especially when he found something wrong with their research or theses, but that was a rare occurrence.

"Yes, those are part of the reason why I enrolled here," he admitted. "You lose something when you have to study for critical exams alone, I think. I had mock OWLs last year with another homeschooler, and it was ghastly. Completely different studying skills. Here, there's bound to be a better selection for a study group."

But... she knew where to go for extensive (for it could never be excessive, in his eyes) research, did she? If Neal were less defensive of his dignity, the look on his face may have been allowed to reach 'child about to receive chocolate cookie' level. As it was, however, it stayed at a highly-interested smile, "You seem to have bounced back remarkably well. Hardly any lingering horror about your face at all."
