196 Points for Ravenclaw

Just incase, you know. Anyone was wondering. Thought I'd just leave this here.

Because really, it's something to reflect on.

I'm sure the teachers think they're all the rage for encouraging team spirit and a healthy sense of competition.

Not that I care about any of that. I just like proving how much better I am.

[greenteengenius]

I assume you mean you like proving how much better you are by ignoring the useless points system in favor of worthwhile pursuits.

[arrogantalloy]

Well yeah sure. If I don't have time to do both. I mean hey, even I get too busy sometimes.

Let's face it. Everything I do is a worthwhile pursuit.

[greenteengenius]

I suppose you must think so, or you would choose different activities.

[arrogantalloy]

Not true. I could just be an overachiever, doing these things so I get the best grades.

I'm not, but hey. Why rule it out.

[greenteengenius]

That would simply mean you believe getting the best grades is the most worthwhile pursuit. Perhaps it is--I have not been here long enough to form an opinion of the syllabus.

[arrogantalloy]

"Worthwhile" is subjective. There are people who think making it to class on time is worthwhile.

[greenteengenius]

It is certainly the easiest route, and not exactly difficult. Except in the case of getting lost, perhaps.

But you have better things to do?

[arrogantalloy]

There isn't a time I don't have something better to do, to be honest.

[greenteengenius]

Do you even attend class, then?

[arrogantalloy]

Of course. Hey, I might be a genius and ahead of the class. But that doesn't mean I can't learn alternative ways to do something, or a nugget of information I've missed or gleaned over in the past.

[greenteengenius]

Ah. For a moment I was beginning to wonder why you attended Hogwarts at all.

And learning others' ways of doing things is definitely a useful shortcut.

[arrogantalloy]

You know, too many people say that. I'm starting to worry about what people think about me.

Also can show if you actually do it the best way.

[greenteengenius]

True. Though I notice the teachers seem to want me to do it their way regardless of whether it is the best.

[arrogantalloy]

Yeah, I've found if you ignore them and do it your way and it gets results. They can't scold you.

[greenteengenius]

Oh, they can, they just can't get me to listen.

[arrogantalloy]

At least we're the same there.
