2nd Day

[seasaltkeys]

[A - On the Quidditch Pitch]

[Roxas should be doing his homework. But he's not. Instead he's flying around on his broom. There isn't really a point to it. It's not practice or anything, just a chance to clear his head. It's remarkably freeing from the heavy load of knowledge that's been weighing him down since the start of term.

Flying up high he turns sharply in to a steep dive before pulling up before he hit the ground. If he was a seeker, that would be a pretty good Wronski Feint. He ascends again with a whoop!]

[B - in the Library]

[Not doing his homework had finally caught up with him and now Roxas is scrambling. And there's still so much to do. An essay for charms, practice for transfiguration, reading for Defense against the Dark Arts? It's almost too much. He stares intently at his parchment, before finally letting out a loud sigh and pushing away from the table to head into the stacks.

He thinks he knows what book he's looking for, but of course it's on a shelf he can't reach.]

This is stupid.

[Said with his head against the bookcase]

Comments

[really_sketchy]

[She laughs softly.]

Yeah.

[She's noticed a lot of charms are more fluid which honestly makes the motions harder. She slowly pulls away looking at Roxas with a smile.]

Think you got it?

[seasaltkeys]

I think so...but I guess I'd need to try it out on someone.

[He glances at her and then around the library.]

[really_sketchy]

[Namine shifts nervously.]

Try it on me.

[Though she's nervous about the idea, it won't really hurt her.]

[seasaltkeys]

You're sure?

[He just remembers casting it once and causing Axel to go into a fit of giggles that lasted a while.]

[really_sketchy]

[Namine smiles.]

Yeah! You can do it!

[She believes in him.]

[seasaltkeys]

[Roxas nods, taking a breath and waving his wand the way they'd just practiced. He says the incantation and fires the spell at her.]

[really_sketchy]

[Namine feels her heart flutter and her cheeks warm. She looks at Roxas curiously for a moment with her hand resting over her heart.]

What's that charm do again?

[Because she think it worked.]

[seasaltkeys]

It's supposed to make you feel more cheerful. Did it work?

[really_sketchy]

[Namine's smile is bright as she responses.]

Yes.

[A hand comes to rest over her heart.]

It feels so warm.

[seasaltkeys]

That is supposed to be one of the effects. It wasn't as hard as I thought it was.

[At least when he checks the book.]

The effect shouldn't last for too long.

[really_sketchy]

It's alright.

[She feels a little giddy but she knows it will pass.]

I knew you could do it.

[seasaltkeys]

It was only one time. I'm going to need to practice a lot more to get it up to speed.

[really_sketchy]

That's true but now you know how to study it properly.

[She can't stop smiling and being positive, weither it's the spell or something else.]

[seasaltkeys]

Well, I know who to ask if I'm having trouble.

What were you working on?

[really_sketchy]

I was trying to memorize so things for potions.

[She leans forward picking up the book she had been reading.]

Its just hard to keep everything straight.

[seasaltkeys]

I could you with that. Like recipes or what each ingredient does?

[really_sketchy]

Recipes. I have the ingredients down pretty well.

[She smiles, happy for his offer.]

[seasaltkeys]

Which potion are you having trouble with then?

[really_sketchy]

[She flips open the page to a list of a few potions. Most of for aliments and healing.]

This section. There are about ten of them I can't seem to remember.

[seasaltkeys]

[Roxas looks at it, since ten is a lot.]

Where do you want to start? I think I remember most of these.

[really_sketchy]

Well I sort of mix them up with each other.

[She points at a simple potion for joint aches.]

This one.

[seasaltkeys]

I guess they do have similar ingredients since they're all sort of for the same thing.

But I think this one needs to be boiled longer than the others.

[He reaches over so that he can check his notes.]

[really_sketchy]

Oh?

[She peers over his shoulder watching him curiously.]

How can you remember that though?

[seasaltkeys]

[He pauses, trying to remember how he figured it out.]

It took a while to get, but it's because of the bat spleens. They're tough so you have to let them sit for a while and stew. The book doesn't really tell you that though.

[really_sketchy]

Oh..

[She looks down at the book and then scribbles some in her notes.]

Thank you!
