He chuckled a little to mask the sadness. "She doesn't like sharing me with the students of Hogwarts!" It was too bad for her, though; he wasn't planning on leaving his job any time soon. He knew she'd learn to share him in time.
Patrick's next words got a genuine laugh from him. Well, that was one word for it! "That's a bit of an understatement," he said. "She's a little ball of energy - always into everything! She has a knack for finding things she's not supposed to have... scares me to death sometimes!" His voice trailed off as he realized how much he'd been talking. Merlin, that must've been boring to listen to! "Sorry," he said with a sheepish smile. "Must be the fatherly pride talking." He nervously ran a hand through his hair as he searched for a way to change the subject. "So how has the term gone for you so far?"
With a small laugh,
“No worries, I’m sure my parents talk about me a lot too. They usually just wait until I’m around to make it awkward.” he heard the question about the term and had to stop. How was the term actually going? He wasn’t in an OWL or NEWT year, but he absolutely felt like he was behind on everything or just barely making it. But you don’t tell a teacher that. Especially one that you enjoy their class.
“It’s going I guess. I feel like there’s way more now as a third year than there was my first year and I was learning so much the. Although it may just be because its more advanced stuff too.” He was a tiny bit overwhelmed with what he had to get done for the year but he figured he could do anything and he was happy to actually be a part of the quidditch team again this year.
