It was a valid concern of hers - especially with the impending O.W.L.s at the end of term - one that she was very certain wouldn't go away quickly.

A smile crept onto Althea's lips as she shook her head in amusement. Leave it to Katherine to be super prepared. She liked that about her. "I'll follow your lead because if I'm honest I haven't cracked those books open in a while." Hopefully she didn't fall too behind; Hirsch was a great professor, and she wanted to do better in class. "So, practice dummies it is!"

Of course Althea wasn't talking about being lazy. Katherine wouldn't even become friends with a lazy person, she picked her friends well. Or at least that's what she thought. Either way, she nodded with an annoyed expression. "I'll write to the Minister about it. I'm sure she'll listen." She didn't know if she could directly send a letter, but she'd at least try. She hadn't really thought about it until this summer, but it was a stupid measure for sure and she wanted to be able to practise magic next summer at least.

Hmm. Well, Althea needn't worry. "I can lend you my books with all the notes and all if you want to read. I mean - you should read, because it starts with basic magical laws, plus best defensive stance and the theory and you should revise those. But I don't think it'll take you too long to go over them." It hadn't taken her long, at least, and she bet Althea revised every year's class notes during summer like she did, right? Everyone revised the whole year's notes over summer, right?? Anyway. "I have a list here. Most of them are curses and not really defensive, but attacking is also a defence." She carefully pulled out a parchment from her magically enlarged robes pocket. On it was a list, written with a very neat and small hand-writing. She glanced at it as she held it at an angle for both of them to see.

"So... I think we can go over arrow shooting spell, colloshoo, diffindo, petrificus totalus, jelly legs jinx aaaaand... steleus?" Hmm? "Then we can go over the second year spells."
