Well, yeah, you're definitely right about Lockhart. And I really wish it was some other teacher who was the adviser--cause, for one thing, I'd bet we'd have been practising for real for a month already--but I think they're not completely different things. I mean, yeah, there are rules and stuff for formal duels, but once it starts, you've got to think fast and be accurate and cast again before you have time to recover and it takes sharp instincts and knowing what you're about. So, I guess, just fighting wouldn't teach you how to duel, but I bet duelling makes you better at all kinds of battling. Anyway, it can't hurt, can it? And it's dead nift.

Um. Except for when your spell bounces back at you off a torch and sets your sleeve on fire. That wasn't so nift. And I think Pansy forgave me for making a piece of the ceiling almost drop on her head. Or, yeah, it fell, but only almost on her head.

Are you thinking of dropping out of the club before we even have a proper chance to duel?

And Hermione?

I'm really sorry that one spell went pear-shaped and caught you in the, well, yeah. It looked like it stung, and I didn't mean it.

You're really sure there's no way to fix my wand, then? I mean, I don't guess I could get enough money to pay for it anyway, but I was sort of hoping I wouldn't have to go all year like this. Actually, I may just have to keep this one, y'know, until I can afford to buy one of my own, but I don't know how I'll be able to do that if I can't pass my OWLs to get a job.

Sorry. That's not what I meant to talk about. Just, I hope you're not going to have an enormous bruise tomorrow's all.

1. Yes, it stung, what dyou think??

2. No, there isn't any way to fix your wand, spellotape's as good as anything I think you could do, or buying a new one, which I'm sorry you can't afford, honestly.

3. Well I do have a bruise, but it isn't nearly the worst I've had, and it won't be, so.

Madam Pomfrey has a really good bruise balm. I expect you know that. I used it quite a bit my first year here because of all the time I ended up barking my shins from falling through the trick steps.

Cor, sorry about that, then.

I figured there wasn't anything to do about the wand, but I guess I sort of hoped there was something I hadn't thought of.

Can't you talk to your parents about it when you get home for the holidays? If they knew how much trouble your wand's giving you, they'd maybe try to do something to get you another one, right?
alt_neville: (Really?)

Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good

[personal profile] alt_neville 2009-12-03 04:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, uh, yeah. Parents are a sore subject, so not so likely maybe.

Sorry.
alt_neville: (Oh)

No! I'm not thinking of dropping out at all. It's just that I wish we had someone decent to teach us.

I mean, my own mum and dad were aurors, remember? They trained for years and years to learn that stuff. To use it seriously, in a fight. I bet if--well, they'd have taught me. If things were different, I might have come to school knowing more about dueling than anybody.

Blimey, did you really almost drop part of the ceiling on Pansy's head? No offence, Ron, but with that wand in your hand, you're really sort of a menace. And I don't mean that in a dueling way. Have you talked with Professor Acton to see if she can figure out some way to mend it? If Spellotape doesn't work good enough anymore, I mean?

Acton? Help me?

About as likely to happen as Malfoy inviting me to that party of his.

Right. Not bloody well happening.
