06th Sparkle is Starting anew

[kiramekiouji]

Owlery

[It's a few days after the masquerade, when he spirits are finally gone, that Yogi visits the owlery, the letter, he spent the better part of the last three days writing, in hand, and stands in front of one of the school owls, hesitation written over his features. The spirits have disappeared, but a part of them has stayed, he thinks. It has been the morning after the masquerade, that he gathered his courage with Gareki's help and finally went to see the spirits that kept appearing to him and since then... Well, it had been a lot to digest, what they told him. But ultimately, they left more questions open than answered, which is why he's where he is now, wondering whether this is a good idea. He has the feeling once this can of worms is open, it won't close again. And he might end up hurting the only closest people to a family that he has. What to do?]

Common Room

[Coming to terms with who you are is never easy, especially if you have no idea about half the things you are, but after a few good talks with his friends and taking a step forward, he's starting to accept it. At least he's smiling and talking to people again, not just curled into the tiniest ball he could do, hiding in the farthest corner of the couch. And he's knitting again, his cat usually in his lap, or playing with the yarn, as Yogi works on the new cute scarf for one of his friends. Or all of them.]

Library

[With the classes back, Yogi finds spending his time, when he's not cuddling his cat, mostly in the library. It's his last year and his grades really need improving, before NEWTs come along (Hirato's words, not his), so there are times when Yogi can be seen in one of the sunny corners, slumped against a book, expression on his face borderline desperate. Why are books written always in such a complicated manner?!]

Comments

Are you sure? Because if you need help it's okay to ask. [She didn't want to him worry or something, but she figured she would still try and help if she could anyway.]

[kiramekiouji]

I... uh... yes... [Although it's probably obvious he isn't. He laughs in embarrassment, before admitting.] I'm just not the book type I'm afraid. [It's hard for him to learn that way. But if he wants to - or if Hirato wants him to - raise his grades, he has to learn how to do it. It's the theoretical part that's insufficient, he always gets the practical part on the first try.]

[nymphofdomino]

Then I'm sure we could try and find another way for you to learn. Not everyone is the book type after all, so finding a type you like makes it that little easier.

[She just had no idea where to start, but didn't stop her from thinking about it though.]

Like... some use songs to be able to remember, but that is just an example.

[Yogi thinks about that. He knows he learns best by doing it, even better if it involves fun, or ends up being of use. He's mastered the aguamenti spell last year by trying to water his gardens with it. At the end of the day, he conjured up something that resembled a small river.] Fun. I learn with fun. [He also knows most of the fairy tales he owns by heart, so it's not like he can't memorize. It's just the school books that are boring and complicated. And it's in turn also hard to phrase the answers in a correct, acceptable way on tests. He sighs.] I'm good at spells, but I always fail the theory. It's hard to phrase, or understand what it says.

[nymphofdomino]

[She tapped her finger lightly against her chin as she thought it over, there were plenty for ways to learn and make it fun at the same time. But nothing came to the top of her mind right away.Bt she was sure she would think it over while she spoke at least.]

Then try and make a game from it. Pick out points you need to learn and make a game in order to help learn from it.

[He looks at Daphne with a startled expression, because he hadn't thought of that. He's not sure how exactly he could make it work, but it'd definitely be worth the try. Better than falling asleep above the books.] I... That's a good idea! I'll try that! [He says and gives her a beaming smile.] Thank you, professor!

[nymphofdomino]

Your welcome, I just hope it does work out because I can believe you could do well so long as you do it in the right way. [She liked to believe everyone could do well if they tried, but now she wonders if perhaps finding a way that suits them would benefit that as well.]
