And here she was dancing. Dancing! Like Agatha 'The Squibbliest' Helena Hapgood.
Siiigh. Merlin bless her beautiful legs wherever they may be TO-NIGHT!
If Cutty could feel empathetic in whole, Dot's comment about having to wait until the OWL results were in to essentially live her life would've filled him with frustration. As it stood, however, his brain did not have the capacity. So he faked it with a sneer that suggested oncomming upchuck. Ya know...to be social.
"Sorry abow that, Dottie. Have yer looked into what yer want ter do?" That could be a constructive summer project. "And, ugh, nar!" He said, sounding put off by the idea of ruling the world. "I'd never puttit op to popular opinion." Ah. It was the democratic practice of voting that turned him the other way, not the idea of power. "I plan to buy my politicians and Wizengamot members." He said with a proud smile and as if he were deciding which award winning dragon fertilizer to feed to his gardenias. A logical and clever household decision. Dot knew what she wanted to do, and she'd known it since forever, but she suddenly felt shy about sharing it. Some people encouraged her aspirations to dance, and some people laughed at her and told her she was aiming her broom too high above the goal posts. It was possible that Cutty was a laugher. She tucked her hands into her robes and shuffled her feet.
"I'm thinking about it. Have some ideas. Not sure what my mum and dad are willing to pay for, schooling wise, so that's sort of a limitation. But what about you? You have to know right NOW what you want to do next." And that meant he should tell her so they could talk about him for a while.
"Buy your... oh, that's so silly. Cutty. That's way more expensive than just ruling it yourself."
