Merlin Headcanons

Professor

"Mr. Pendragon."

"Sir?"

"On your test, you said Guinevere's father was 'Tom the blacksmith' - "

"Yes, sir."

"You misspelled 'Gawain' as 'Gwaine' on every occasion - "

"Well, sir, it is sometimes accepted - "

"You described Lancelot's relationship with Guinevere as 'annoying' - "

"It was!"

"Your report on Mordred contradicted nearly everything I taught in this class - "

"All due respect sir, but - "

"And instead of a three paragraph description of Merlin, you provided a five page essay, fronts and backs, cramped writing, in which the word "idiot" is used fifteen times and the word "magic" is used once. Instead of focusing on his various adventures or mighty deeds, you seem to fluctuate between a sort of exasperated list of insults and a fond overprotectiveness. Explain yourself."

"I didn't think it would be appropriate to use the word idiot any more than that, professor. This is, after all, a college course."

"And you got this information from . . . "

"My dreams. Professor."

"Really?"

"Yes, sir."

"Well, you realize what I have to do of course."

"Yes, professor."

"Here you are then."

" . . . You gave me full marks, sir."

"As I said. See me after class, Mr. Pendragon. There's an old friend of mine you might want to meet. He was coming over today anyway."

"Oh?"

"Yes, he wanted to meet you. Something about seeing if you were as dollop headed in this life as the last one?"
