Learn to what? Be less reactive? What? Zahra clearly didn't understand, didn't bother pretending she did, and couldn't agree to it. She was supposed to let those kids beat up on Kevin? No way. "Maybe.... maybe I could be LESS reactive. Like a weaker potion, yeah?" Hehehehe Yeah right. "Besides, I don't even need that cauldron anymore! Ole Potions said so himself!"
Anyyyyyyyway.... this was more like what Z expected. The lecture. But all things considered, and since Z's points were still in tact, she couldn't complain. "I know. I do. I have been trying.... Just sometimes it's real hard, you know?"
She heard, that was good to know.
Very reassuring. Seren couldn't help but watch with keen interest as Zahra continued to chug the jug... in truth, it was impressive. And would you look at that? The girl did possess some common sense after all.
"I can agree with that compromise, less reactive then," because that entailed thinking before acting, something she hoped the Gryffindor was capable of. As for Ole Potions...
"Professor Culloden," she corrected,
"And why would you not need it anymore?" Unless she was dropping the subject, then she couldn't see the point.
At this point she was ready to succumb to her hunger, and so she snagged herself a piece of toast, smothering it with one of the berry-looking jams.
"I know it's not easy, but trying is all I ask." Real trying, not just saying so.
"So you want your wand back?" she asked, before taking a bite of her toast.
