Mamie unfortunately hurried to right herself, too, and tumbled upright onto her bum. She sat on the floor, a little dizzy from the blood rushing out of her head, and looked up at Ashley, who looked verrrry calm and collected, leaning against the wall like that. "I'm okay?" she said it like a question.

She looked at her friend for a minute, eyes a little bit squinty while she thought about whether to explain. Ashley seemed trustworthy. "I'm having trouble in History of Magic," she admitted. And anti-Muggle Studies. And divination. Frankly, anything that required more thinking, and less doing. And she wasn't going to even bring up flying, because she felt like she was at least improving outside of class there. But no matter how many hours she spent staring at the history of magic textbook, it just...it didn't stick. Was there a brain sticking charm?

"Well, I guess you are. Okay." She wasn't dead, and that was the same as okay. Well, no it wasn't. Physically fine didn't even mean okay. But Ash like to pretend that it did. So she continued in the conversation with a sense of cheerfulness that she clearly did not feel. "I'll tell you a secret. Actual history doesn't matter. You can stretch the truth as long as it makes muggles look bad, so being historically inaccurate isn't a problem." She rolled her eyes. In her opinion, the neo-alliance was making up their opinions on the basis of made-up "facts" and exaggerated versions of truth. "I find a great way to succeed in classes and in life is to be a completely different person and just ignore reality. If it helps."
