Dominic truthfully didn't really understand where Abby was coming from with the whole a Hufflepuff can't do History of Magic thing. Truthfully, he WAS a Hufflepuff AND he scored pretty high on his History OWL. Not to mention that Truebridge was one of his best professors. Maybe bias was present that he had been blind to? Possibly. But if there was, then it definitely wasn't house-related, since Copernicus didn't really have any issues with History either.

"I'm sure it's nothing personal," Dominic tried to comfort his housemate. "We each have our own strengths and weaknesses." Whatever the heck that meant.

Dominic turned towards Copernicus and nodded when the Ravenclaw apologized again. He knew Copernicus meant well, but at the same time, the boy had found someone . . . . and someone to love him back. Dominic thought he did, but somehow, his failure with understanding human emotions had led him to a failure in developing a relationship with another.

Sighing, he blinked as he took in what Copernicus said next. That wasn't the first time someone mentioned the dueling arena to him this term. "Wandwork has never really been a strong point for me. But yes, reviewing in the arena does sound helpful." Pausing thoughtfully, the seventeen year old tried to think of other ideas that could help them to be best prepared for NEWTs. "You know, I wonder, Copernicus . . . Animagi. It's a complex form of magic and will definitely require a bit of studying and research. But perhaps . . ." Biting his lower lip, as he thought it over some more. If the were successful, then they'd definitely be some of the most prepared for NEWT exams in many years. And if not, then at least they could say they tried; which was more than some.

But he and Copernicus were probably two of the brightest students in their year; thus, if anyone could achieve it, then they'd be likely. Especially with working together. And since Copernicus was a Ravenclaw . . .

"You up for the challenge, mate?" he finally asked.
