 ¼ of the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pls
Mona ignored the raised eyebrow. She didn't think she needed to explain herself, not to Vera. Besides, everyone disliked their brothers, right? She bet Vera would hate Paul too, if Paul tried to correct him every other second. Ugh, how Mona wished Paul wasn't at Hogwarts!
Mona opened her mouth to quickly say that she was asking for her brother, but then her inner voice chipped in with 'That actually makes you look cooler and cleverer than you are.' Mona liked that. She did want to look cooler and cleverer. She wanted to impress Logan Paton first and foremost, and imagine what he would think if his [s]current]/s] girlfriend talked to him about a very clever first year. She VERY MUCH liked the idea, and almost missed the most important part of what Vera was saying.
So... Paul could take the NEWTs this year if he wanted. Mona knew he did pretty well for the OWLs, because their parents were in tears of joy last summer. She was genuinely happy for him too at the time, because he had been studying for it very hard and he deserved it. Until she started the school and he was all over her.
"Uh huh, well, I..." Why did she want to graduate early again? "I'm just asking to have a proper career plan in action!" Yeah, something like that. She was VERY responsible, and knew what she wanted to do with her life. Tell that to Logan Paton. "How early do I need to, uh, apply for it? And who do I need to talk to?"
Now, how was she going to convince Paul to do that when it was already February and her brother hadn't studied for it at all?
