Oooh, some common ground. “Cool! I really like Transfiguration as well.” She stopped herself from mentioning how well she did last term, because she was starting to read the room a little and Daniel PROBABLY didn’t care. “Are you good at Arithmancy? I think it’s one of my worst subjects.” Remy chuckled a little with a shrug of her shoulders. She was making a big effort here.
“Oh, sorry.” Remy scratched the back of her head as he pulled his hand back from hers. She felt severely embarrassed but didn’t think she had done anything wrong. It was becoming clear that she had to work on her people skills a bit more. She nodded calmly, toning back the enthusiasm, and she surveyed which step to take first.
She did, in fact, go for the first step that she had taken previously. Quickness in her step, Remy took another three steps, lifting her body swiftly up the tree. “See? It’s easy. Are you gonna wait for me to get to the top, or?” She wouldn’t be surprised if she made it to the top, looked down, and Daniel had ditched.
That would make her REALLY upset.
She was right. He wouldn't have cared about her progress in Transfiguration since the last term because they weren't friends. MAYBE if they got to know each other over time he would have been but for now, nope.
"I'm pretty confident in my Arithmancy skill" he answered as Remy told him that it was one of her worst subjects. It was then that he had an idea. It could benefit them both and he also knew that he needed to interact with people because so far, more people disliked him than not.
"How about i help you with Arithmancy and you help me with Flying?"
The thought of ditching her while she was climbing up the tree had crossed his mind. But he had said that he would climb up too and he did keep his promises sometimes. Not always. But today he would. He reached for the branch that Remy had used to climb earlier and pulled himself up.
The task was more difficult than he had expected and as he reached for the second branch and was hauling himself up, the boy took a breather. He needed to get physically fitter.
