"Well what do you learn at muggle schools? I had a tutor before I came to Hogwarts. A tutor and my dad." West was just curious. It was so far outside of his experience. "And what do they have instead of OWLs?" He just didn't KNOW this stuff, okay?
He shifted again. Antsy kid.
"Yeah you were real good." West agreed loyally. "Maybe we can work on stuff together. I kind of want to learn some that we don't get taught in the lessons, the ones that in some lessons the professors act like you should know already." Paaause. "I did okay with the levitating one though."
Not best friends? O_O "Why not? But you're cool! Why doesn't she want to? That's not good. Doesn't she like Slytherins anymore?" He looked a bit crestfallen. If she didn't want to be friends with Theo, would she still want to be friends with West?
"SURE I do." Comic books though. That was fixable. He jumped up and went ot his chest again, and after practically disappearing inside it, he reappeared with a stack of them. A few of each. "Here!"
Oh. He probably shouldn't have asked. Instead, Theo just nodded and looked at a painting on the wall. Hmm... very interesting, that painting...
"
You learn... rubbish stuff like... Poetry, numbers, running, french, science." Bleh, science. Theodore remembered his failings in that class vividly. Ironic that science is also considered as 'magic', and now he was learning actual magic... That didn't sound good, at all. The boy shrugged, "
I dunno what they do in big school, I only went to a little muggle school." Like from the age of four to eleven.
He'd ask his brother nearer to the time.
Theo BEAMED. "
I was, wasn't I?" His eyes wandered elsewhere, just marveling his awesomeness to himself for a moment. "
YEA, like the fire throwing spell." The one that people used to light up the fire underneath cauldrons. He didn't KNOW this sorcery!
"
I think she's mad cos I keep being mean to Hufflepuffs." He said sadly, "
She has already got a new bestie in Hufflepuff."
Just when West appeared at his COOLEST, he just became more cool.
Theo bounced on his mattress at the comics that he had brought out. YAY. "
Cooooooool! Can I read 'em?!" Though he couldn't 100% guarantee their safe return.
