“Excuse you,” Marina said immediately, scandalized enough to point her spoon at Cat like a tiny weapon, “I did forget Transfiguration because my brain is protecting me from traumatic experiences.”

She shook her head gravely before taking another aggressively whipped-cream-heavy sip of hot chocolate. And then Cat brought the conversation right back around again with all the subtlety of a guided missile wrapped in politeness.

Marina froze mid-sip. Her eyes narrowed slowly over the rim of her mug.

“That,” she informed her after swallowing, “felt manipulative.”

The knowing look made it worse. “You Ravenclaws are terrifying when you decide to emotionally corner people. It’s all very gentle and academically formatted.” Still, despite the dramatics, some of the fight drained from her shoulders a little. Enough that she slumped sideways against the bench rather than sitting upright like she was preparing for battle.

“Well. I have not thrown any objects at anybody today.” she said, dryly, “Yet.”

Progress.

She stared into her mug for another second before continuing, voice quieter now around the edges. “I don’t know, Cat. I just feel… off lately.” Her fingers tightened slightly around the ceramic. “Like I’m trying really hard to act like normal-me again and it keeps not fitting properly.”
