If he had parents, or guardians, or any kind of adult figure that actually cared about his well being, he liked to think they would have yanked him from Hogwarts years ago.
Train them?
Jeez, that was the best idea he'd heard since, well, a while. Lately, he'd been subjected to ideas of the ridiculous variety. Yodeling wrock music being number one on that list. West Odessa.
He smirked at a few ease dropping third years, "Maybe we could get them collars. To keep them in line. Or do the whole blow horn training technique." SPEAKING OF CRAZY WEIRD THINGS, "Also, we need to do a senior prank." Yeah?
No it wasn't cool to
them. That's what she was
saying. Goooooood Ascanius. Psht. It'd make a good story though.
"I've argued with my mam a lot about it. She was trying to get dad to take me out. Y'know, with all... the... stuff. On top of the school stuff." Derry admitted, pulling her sleeves down over her hands. It was
cooooold.
"She almost changed dad's mind, but I convinced her removing me would be too much of a change so late into stuff." She

...
Senior prank?
"Yes! Yes yes yes yes yes. Definitely. Yes. Good. Any ideas?" She gave West a quick wave as he plonked himself on the couch, before looking back at Ascanius all expectantly.
