Five ♒

[wwistful]

Now that school is nearly back in session, I have a question for the Ravenclaw and Slytherin students taking my class. I'd noticed a couple of you were going above and beyond expectations, but I'd also noticed quite a few of you failing to meet the standards set for you. As such, I am offering an hour long extension class for ALL years twice a week in which we will cover old topics more thoroughly and begin to study new things ahead of the usual regime.

These classes will, of course, benefit your grades. So if you are unhappy with your marks or looking for extra lessons, I would consider signing up here.

If it is of any interest, these lessons will also include swimming lessons and you do not need to be in my class to attend those. You will not be doing a repeat of camp, so be sure to bring actual swimming clothes if you attend. You may sign up here, and yes, we will be joining the squid in the lake. Even if you are capable of swimming, I am able to assist you with your form and speed.

Mr.Banner. Given the amount of classes you've missed, these classes will be mandatory and they will include practicals.

[Yeah, Rhys can totally swim.]

is that so unusual?

[Keyboard smashes.]

Seems a bit odd, to be honest.

[grandhighwizard]

i was raised near cwmbrân.
NOT ON THE OCEAN OR EVEN A RIVER.

Filtered private

[wwistful]

I've never taught a grown man how to swim before.

[WHY CAN'T HE THINK OF A BETTER EXCUSE.]

[grandhighwizard]

IF YOU FEEL IT WILL BE TOO DIFFICULT
i've gone this long.

Filtered private

[wwistful]

I get the feeling you're looking for a chance to be obnoxious.

Filtered private

[grandhighwizard]

you think that of everything i do,
DON'T YOU?

Filtered private

[wwistful]

Because it is everything you do. I don't know why you'd want me of all people teaching you anyway.

Filtered private

[grandhighwizard]

why?
ARE YOU A PARTICULARLY POOR SWIM INSTRUCTOR?

Filtered private

[wwistful]

I am a proficient instructor when my student isn't an annoyance.

Filtered private

[grandhighwizard]

as i said
IF YOU FEEL IT'S TOO MUCH FOR YOU
you're certainly under no obligation.
I WAS SIMPLY INQUIRING.

Filtered private

[wwistful]

I don't feel it's too much as much as I feel you're just laying it on to trick me.

Filtered private

[grandhighwizard]

IT'S QUITE FASCINATING
how much importance you think i place on you.
I HAVEN'T 'TRICKED' YOU, YET.
but you seem under the impression that i will go quite out of my way
TO MAKE YOU LOOK FOOLISH
as though i had nothing better to do with my time.

Re: Filtered private

[wwistful]

Why else would you ask me to teach you?

Filtered private

[grandhighwizard]

because i would like to learn how to swim
AND YOU WERE OFFERING.
come, now, surely you're capable of that minuscule leap of logic?

Filtered private

[wwistful]

If you're going to be condescending I'm hardly inclined to offer my services.

Filtered private

[grandhighwizard]

you hardly seem inclined as it is.
COME NOW, DONOGHUE,
how should i react to your constant accusations when
I'VE NEVER DONE A THING AGAINST YOU.
you've physically attacked me.
SHOULDN'T I BE THE SUSPICIOUS ONE?
i find humor and sarcasm are far preferable, myself.

Filtered private

[wwistful]

If I've physically attacked you, why do you so desire to spend time around me? Aren't you afraid I'll drown you?

Filtered private

[grandhighwizard]

IT'S HARDLY IN YOUR NATURE TO DO SUCH A THING,
is it?

Filtered private

[wwistful]

What makes you think you know my nature?

Filtered private

[grandhighwizard]

my previous profession.
AM I WRONG?

Filtered private

[wwistful]

Not entirely, I suppose. Are you going to embarrass me if I try to help you?

Filtered private

[grandhighwizard]

i'm not sure how i would,
OTHER THAN BEING AN EXCEEDING POOR STUDENT.
but no, i had no intention to.

Filtered private

[wwistful]

Fine.

Filtered private

[grandhighwizard]

WHEN?
