SPOILER!!: Flammmyyy

It shows.

THAT was good, because he wasn't sure... and he WAS making efforts. How disheartening would it have been if in light of all of that he was still failing at school? Hmm? He wouldn't have been able to handle it. So progress of any measure, was a good thing in his eyes. Zeke remained still on his seat.

Top marks in DADA, Charms, Potions and Arithmancy wasn't a surprise to him. They were his favourite subjects also, so not doing his best in those was simply not an option. Admittedly though, it helped that his dad was a potioneer, and that his mum was just good at all things, especially DADA. What got him though, was that Sabel had spoken highly of him. He WANTED to reply by saying the man was obligated to do so... but he knew that was a lie. Sabel had been nothing but upfront with him. About everything. The man wouldn't lie to win his favour.

Nodding, Zeke continued to listen, waiting for a cue to speak.

HoM though... well that was a lost cause in his opinion, he was trying, and still struggling. Somehow what was said to be the objective of the lesson didn't compute with him and what was actually expressed during the sessions. He was lost.

But OWLs! "Yes, sir... and Runes, Transfiguration and Herbology... I'm not sure what else I might need." This is what he had difficulty determining.

Instead he was finding a good spot to set Pebbles down and then began flipping through the fourth year's file. "It shows, Mr. Zeke," he praised, lifting up the latest progress report and nodding at it. "It truly shows. Top marks in Defense Against the Dark Arts, Charms, Potions, and Arithmancy...and Professor Dakest speaks quite highly of you. The only class you really seem to be struggling with is History of Magic...but even that has improved a little. Now that you are actually attending." Whether that meant better test scores or simply his participation grade was making the difference was not something the astronomer was sure of at the moment. "So...I assume that means you will be going for OWLs in Defense Against the Dark Arts, Charms, Potions, and Arithmancy then?" Sticking to his strengths? And really, no offense that Astronomy had not made the list. It all depended on what sort of future the boy saw for himself. It shows.
