Thirty-ninth Spell

[courageous_wit]

[Hermione is muttering to herself, paying no attention to the open journal] No, there just simply wasn't enough time... But next time I'll be more prepared. This is much more difficult than I anticipated.

[she pauses, letting out a tired sigh] This is never going to get any easier.

Dictated.

[lupinotuum]

Something the matter, Hermione?

Dictated forever

[whichwayyoulean]

Enough time for what?

yep

[courageous_wit]

I was trying to do something for a friend, but it wasn't ready.

Dictated.

[courageous_wit]

Oh, I was... working on a project. It isn't finished yet.

Dictated.

[lupinotuum]

Ah. Well, I hope you manage to finish it soon.

Dictated.

[courageous_wit]

[not soon enough...]

I'll start working on it again tomorrow. How are you? Feeling better?

[whichwayyoulean]

Sooome sort of spell?

[courageous_wit]

It's a surprise. I can't really discuss it until it's ready.

dictated;

[nukeoleptic]

What are you working on?

[ There's earnest curiosity couched in the nosiness there. ]

dictated;

[courageous_wit]

Just a surprise for my friend.

[whichwayyoulean]

Okay, just try not to explode yourself or anything, ok?

[courageous_wit]

It's not that kind of potion.

dictated;

[nukeoleptic]

-- do you need help? No offense, but you sound a little exasperated.

dictated;

[courageous_wit]

No, it's all right, I'll figure it out. I just didn't think it would take me this long.

[lord_wizard]

Spell troubles?

dictated;

[nukeoleptic]

Hehe, alright! Sorry to have butted in.

dictated;

[courageous_wit]

It's all right, it was my fault for not noticing the journal was open.

[courageous_wit]

A bit.

dictated;

[nukeoleptic]

It doesn't seem too terribly secure.

dictated;

[courageous_wit]

They aren't, really.

[whichwayyoulean]

[Wow is he curious, but he holds it back]

Okay, or set fire to yourself, or throw anything corrosive on yourself or gas yourself or...whatever else you can do with potions. I don't know, chemistry wasn't me strong point.

Dictated.

[lupinotuum]

[ There's another small sigh, but he does sound better than he did. ]
Much better, thank you. Amazing what a good amount of rest will do, hm?

Dictated.

[courageous_wit]

Yes, it is. I remember in my third year I felt tired all the time because of all the classes I took... We should all try to take care of ourselves even here.

[courageous_wit]

[she smiles from her end of the journal. Really, Once-ler, you have the strangest ideas]

I'll be careful. There is no potion that has stumped me yet.

[lord_wizard]

Anything you require assistance with?
