Our Darling D [book 2]

Chapter 9

Okay im sorry i forgot it was monday

: I don't think I would ever tire of asking both of you if you've done your assignments yet?

Jo: We hardly ever have assignments, darling. There's a bunch of practicals to work on during class, however.

Ker: We've negotiated with our Professors and they deemed it valid. Maybe try that as well.

D: With my classmates needing a bit more training in using magic, I'd prefer the paperwork over a visit to the Hospital Wing.

Ker: it'll give Madam Pomfrey something to do.

Jo: Nah, the mediwitch is busy for a while now. Something about the preparation for the Second Task?

D: Oh yeah, the Second Task is nearing!

Jo: Yes, around January or February.

D: I suppose so, since there are only days away for the vacation.

Ker: Will you be going to the Yule Ball, Darling?

D: It depends. It turns out that it's not compulsory at all so I'm having second thoughts.

Ker: do you not like parties?

D: Something like that. It's troublesome after you've seen the decor and ate some of the food. People in Hogwarts apparently love small talk!

Jo: We'd prefer long and meaningful conversations rather than small talk

Ker: But since it is a party, small talk is a given with how many people you see and need to interact with!

Jo: or prank with!

D: Please don't pull any pranks. I've been told the Witch Sisters will be there!

Jo: Ah, but they love chaos more than us!!

Ker: and their concerts had to be put on hold after that fiendfyre accident.

Jo: and the cats!

D: Okay, point taken. Just don't spike the pumpkin juice, the elves will go bonkers!

Ker: it'll be fine, we'll console them with butterbeer!

D: Absolutely not! Those are the equivalent of a firewhiskey to them!!

Jo: It's not like Winky has been drowning herself in one!

D: Winky??

Ker: Yes, she's always by the fireplace drinking bottles of it whenever we go to the kitchen.
