If you can look into your own character and see yourself faltering in your dedication even as you sit here, then we have nothing further to discuss." He raised an eyebrow. "What will it be-- are you certain enough of yourself? Do you feel confident will dedicate yourself to changing your ways, or shall I contact the Headmaster now so we may consider other options for your fate? Think carefully before you respond." He sipped his tea and waited while Mosier debated his life.
Jack frowned as the professor spoke, he felt like he'd failed before he'd started, realising that Kazi didn't want empty promises, Jack bit his lip, he knew he couldn't be totally dedicated, he was prone to mood swings, but... Hogwarts, it was the perfect way to start your life, it set you up for life after, he raised a nervous hand to his neck and rubbed it, he laughed nervously as he chewed the corner of his lip "I'm not that certain, but I can do everything possible, I will use all my will and strength to try. But I get very random and uncontrollable mood swings" Jack admitted, it was better to be honest, right?
