What's the point in being a wizard if you're not gonna fix broken things with magic right?" The fifth year kind of always forgot to use magic for his own things, but for whatever reason, his mind when straight to the mending charm.
Pulling his wand out of his pocket, Ollie pointed it at the backpack and said, "Reparo." He then watches the seams magically sow themselves back together before speaking again. "I guess...I should've let you do it? But...at least it's fixed now?" Plus, it wasn't like the charm reinforced the backpack so it would probably break again before the end of term.
"Yeah, I guess." Dalton shrugged a little as he watched Ollie repair his bag, before tugging it back over to him and inspecting the newly-fixed seams. He then proceeded to wave away the other boys apologies. "Don't be daft, I've been repairing it for five years.
And you did a better job than me, anyway.
It wasn't something he was bitter about, because in all honesty Dalton didn't care if he was ever good at magic. He just wanted to pass his exams and get out of here and get a job, and that required some qualifications. He still didn't understand why he couldn't have just gone to a Muggle school, but now was not the time nor the place to dwell on that.
"I'm gonna write home for a new one, anyway."
