Keeping Occupied [Video/Offline]

[waverly_wiz]

[Thanks to the rain, Alex has been laying low at home today. Rain was bittersweet nowadays. Every once in a while, she caught herself thinking about Mason when it rained. After all, standing in the rain on Waverly Place was the first time she'd shared a kiss with her werewolf boyfriend.

[Thanks to her PCD, she can be seen sitting in the windowsill of her room, pointing her wand outside. She's filling invisible magic bubbles with rain water and letting them drop. Onto the pavement, onto small creatures, and perhaps onto you! One of her favorite things to do with Mason was throw water balloons at unsuspecting victims who happened to be wandering down Waverly Place. Oh, what fun!]

Hnhnheheheh! That was a good one.

[Have yo been hit with a water bubble? Feel free to yell at this young whipper snapper.]

[A quizzical look at the term 'kindergarten', but she'll just go on.]

I go to Hogwarts, one of the best wizarding schools in Europe. Surely you've heard of it?

Re: [Video]

[waverly-wiz.livejournal.com]

Oh! So it's like Wiz Tech, right?

[Video]

[its-leviosa.livejournal.com]

... Wiz Tech?

Re: [Video]

[waverly-wiz.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Very prestigious wizarding school... But I don't think it's in Europe.

It's where I went.

[Video]

[its-leviosa.livejournal.com]

I've never heard of it.

[The unsaid implication of that statement being, "Well, if I've never heard of it, it mustn't be very prestigious." Because, yeah, she's kind of an elitist snob.]

Re: [Video]

[waverly-wiz.livejournal.com]

I've never heard of Hogzits or whatever.

[its-leviosa.livejournal.com]

Hogwarts.

[Forgive her. She has no sense of humor.]

Re: [Video]

[waverly-wiz.livejournal.com]

[Alex can tell.]

When did you start going there?

[Video]

[its-leviosa.livejournal.com]

I'm in my fifth year now, and due to take the OWLs soon. I do hope I haven't fallen behind.

Re: [Video]

[waverly-wiz.livejournal.com]

Oh. Good luck with that.
You'll probably pass if you can get out of here.

[Oh! Someone who knows what she's talking about?]

Well, someone who says she can read the future told me I would. But the resources here are rather lacking, so if I stay here too long I might not.

[She really has no idea. But... context clues. This girl is almost just like her brother Justin.]

Well, practice. Do what I do.

[its-leviosa.livejournal.com]

I don't think childish pranks will help me prepare for the OWLs.

Re: [Video]

[waverly-wiz.livejournal.com]

They kind of helped me with the wizard tournament... which didn't actually count....

What kind of test is the OWLS?

[Video]

[its-leviosa.livejournal.com]

Ordinary Wizarding Levels. They're... comprehensive exams, and basically determine one's entire future. Hence why it is important that I find proper resources.

Re: [Video]

[waverly-wiz.livejournal.com]

Exams? Like, with a pencil and paper?

Ugh! That sucks.

[Video]

[its-leviosa.livejournal.com]

More like parchment and quill. And there's a practical component as well.

Re: [Video]

[waverly-wiz.livejournal.com]

Parchment and quill?
Yeah, same thing.

What do you have to do for the practical part?

[Video]

[its-leviosa.livejournal.com]

That depends on the subject. For Potions, you brew one. For Charms, there are certain spells you have to perform in front of the examiners. ... And so on and so forth.

Re: [Video]

[waverly-wiz.livejournal.com]

That's more like it!
I'm a doer, not a writer.

[Video]

[its-leviosa.livejournal.com]

There are important uses for both.

Re: [Video]

[waverly-wiz.livejournal.com]

Oh, I know there are.

Now, I just gotta find someone to write for me.
Where's Harper when you need her?

[Video]

[its-leviosa.livejournal.com]

[And look who disapproves. Tsk tsk.]

You won't learn anything that way.

Re: [Video]

[waverly-wiz.livejournal.com]

Actually, Harper used to help me study so I could catch up with Justin in my wizard studies.

[Video]

[its-leviosa.livejournal.com]

Helping someone study is one thing. But doing the work for them isn't the right way to go about it.
