The Ravenclaw figured that Matt can be really great in theories IF he’s pushed to the right direction. Matt may never believe him, but he does make sense. And...they’ve got a radio in their dorm? Now...that’s something really cool to have. Jace was about to respond, but Matt was on a roll. As his usual. The Ravenclaw chuckled, shaking his head. “No, we don’t. We have a lot of rare books though.” Which was by the way...the MOST awesome thing to have. Too bad, it doesn’t cover his concern. “And I agree. If you don’t use your brain, it will rot.” Well, it will over time and Jace wouldn’t want that for him or any of his friends.
Jace couldn’t help but laugh at Matt’s expression. He expected the baffled look, but really, Matt should see his face! “I know it’s a hard concept to grasp especially to Westerners...” Jace continued, wiping his eyes with his hand. “Well you see, it’s to show the highest respect to our elders. It is an act of selflessness.” Okay, maybe he should stop at this point because Matt’s head might roll over if he continued. Not everyone can perfectly understand the point of the seiza, but as long as Jace can do it, he will do it out of respect for his peers and for his ancestry. “You know,” Jace started with a chuckle, “I wish I could cheat my way out of it. I’ve read books about the topic...but I get the feeling that the information is inconsistent.” See, he’s really stuck Matt! He even might spend years trying to figure that one out.
The laughter was much appreciated, because it made the quiet boy laugh too. “It is possible, Matt. I’ve done it before...but not always. It takes a lot of practise to read someone’s next move.” He said nodding his head, trying his best not to dwell on the missed opportunities he had during his last spar with a higher ranked kendoka. “So...does that make me a Jedi Master? Or...a padawan at least?” Because really Jace wouldn’t mind being called a learner since he is one.
The Ravenclaw had to suppress his smile as he moved a bit to the side to give Matt all the room he needs to express himself. Jace had to admit that his suggestion is way better than his, although...is it entirely possible to move the laboratory way up in the castle? “I wonder if the potion ingredients will react to the high altitude.” Genuine curiosity right there. “I can help too sensei! Only up until the Fat Lady’s portrait of course.” Everybody's here, look how everyone's heeereeeeeeee Rare books. Jace said that as if it was COOL, so Matt decided to go along with it. Not before givinhis friend a quick look of unbelief. RADIOS WERE COOLER THAN BOOKS, obviously, but then again, Jace WAS a RAVENCLAW. See, Matt's point about them kind being the clever type and being born knowing everything and being bookworms and all of the stereotype? All accurate. Now THAT was super duper accurate. If you didn't use your brain it would rot. "It's TRUE! Not literally, I know, but it WILL rot." ...Maybe literally as well, who knew? The Gryffindor's features suddenly became darker. "Do you think there's a dark potion to make someone's brain rot for real?" THAT WOULD BE HORRIBLE AND TERRIBLY EVIL. Definitely some kind of Dark Magic of sorts. EVIL!!
A hard concept to grasp especially to westerners... westernerrrsssss. Matt was that. Some people said that as if it were a bad thing, but Matt didn't think it was. Not that being non-Westerner was the bad thing. Neither was BAD, they were just... different? VERY different, clearly. Matt still had no clue what Jace was on about. "So you show respect by being uncomfortable and in pain?" The third year staaaaaaaaaaaared at his friend as he tried to understand the concept. Really, he WAS trying. But... yeah, VERY strange different. "Alright, tell me what it is already!!!!" COME ON, JACE, Matt knew you might be making things up. Struggling to learn something, REALLY??? Naaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh.
...To read someone's next move... Matt stayed quiet for a few seconds while he tried to picture that in real life. Was it actually possible? Really? REALLY, though? "I donno, are you SURE you can do that?" The Gryffindor asked as he kept eyeing his friend.
...
He suddenly reached out and quickly BOOPED Jace's nose like a NINJA.
ALEKJFKJRHEKJR DIDN'T SEE THAT COMING, DID HE?? HAHEHEHEHE!!
Professor Newt was going to think about the idea and speak to the Headmaster!!!! WAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! "THAT'S BRILLIANT, PROFESSOR, IT'LL BE AWESOOOOOOOOME!!" He exclaimed with both fists UP in the air in VICTORYYYYYY. And five points too! Ha, awesome! But they needed to talk to the Headmaster still. " LET'S DO IT NOW! Can we come with you, professor??? To make sure things go SMOOTHLY and QUICKLY for you?" HE WAS EAGER TO HELP, COULD THEY TELL???
And Jace was going on about the humidity and whatever of the dungeons. "I bet not all ingredients even like that environment, they just got used to it." Like they had feelings or something, lol. "Maybe the DUNGEONS had to be charmed so most of the ingredients would be kept fresh! I bet most ingredients don't need to be in humid and damp places, really." RIGHT??? Why favour them dungeonsssss, it didn't make seensseeeeeee. "LET'S BRING IT ALL TO THE TOWERS!" And then see what happened.
