The end of the term is nigh.

[Alec draws out the pause for a moment, before he continues.]

And whatever other overdramatic bullshit phrase people like to use in lieu of admitting that you're scared that you'll fail.

Perhaps if you spent more time studying and less time talking about it, you wouldn't be so far behind that it requires cramming.

[His voice is an arrogant drawl; he's poking at people because it amuses him to do so, nothing more, nothing less.]

Just a friendly bit of advice. Maybe you can use it when you have to repeat this year again.

Yes, but what's funny about it? [Herbert just sounds a little exasperated - he enjoys making fun of people as much as the next snooty Ravenclaw bastard, but simply pointing out that people are getting panicky due to OWLs and NEWTs doesn't strike him as all that amusing.]

Are you just looking for defensive reactions? That would be interesting, I suppose.

[foepas]

They're bound to happen. Yours is a different sort of one.

[preanimator]

It's not defensive, it's curious. Your motivations are unclear. Except trying to feel superior, I suppose.

[foepas]

My motivations barely matter to me, why should they matter to you?
