Laughing lightly at Matt's words, she shook her head, "Yeah, normally I just sit there bored, 'cause I usually practice the spells and stuff prior to class, so I have an idea of what I'm getting myself into. And so far it's not been that difficult to master most of those spells." She really wished they'd be more difficult, or something to really test her skills.
He looked up from the parchment as she spoke and nodded slightly, somehow it didn't feel strange to admit his fear of sharks since he knew no one was going to judge him because of it. "It does at times, I've been lucky to have not encountered any sharks while I'm in the water; but that fear does hold me back at times from going surfing like when I was in Hawaii a couple summers ago with my parents." Matt remembered that vacation like it was yesterday and the fact that sharks were common around the area definitely caused him to hesitate catching any waves.
"I might do that myself actually before class, I also have potions later this morning so maybe my brain will be focused on that while I sit through Transfiguration and attempt to pay attention." Well that idea was much better than his earlier idea since it was just like substituting one class for another.
