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.]

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

Re: [Video]

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.

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

[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?

[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.

[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.

Re: [Video]

[waverly-wiz.livejournal.com]

Oh, don't worry. Just because I wanted her to do it didn't mean she would.

It's nice to know that someone has morals.

Re: [Video]

[waverly-wiz.livejournal.com]

I have morals!

They just don't have anything to do with studying.

[Video]

[its-leviosa.livejournal.com]

... Right.

Re: [Video]

[waverly-wiz.livejournal.com]

Wizarding's really important to you, isn't it?

[Alex began to wonder if maybe this girl had the same motivation to be so skilled with magic as Alex did.]

[Video]

[its-leviosa.livejournal.com]

It is. I want to learn as much as I can, so I can be successful.

Re: [Video]

[waverly-wiz.livejournal.com]

What do you do with magic in your world?

Re: [Video]

[its-leviosa.livejournal.com]

[... Do you really want her to get started on that?]

Oh, all sorts of things.

Re: [Video]

[waverly-wiz.livejournal.com]

... Like?

[Alex might regret asking, but she's noticed a difference between her magic and that of the other wizards here.]

[Video]

[its-leviosa.livejournal.com]

[Enthusiastic rambling ahoy!]

Well, there are charms, which I guess are what you'd consider traditional spells. We also learn Transfiguration, in which you can change the form of an object. ... Very difficult, but it's one of my favorite subjects. And next year I'll learn how to Apparate, which I'm very excited about, where you can appear in another place just using magic. ...

Re: [Video]

[waverly-wiz.livejournal.com]

Oh, that sounds...a little basic.

[She was expecting something perhaps a little more different. But hey. Wizards have their similarities, she supposes.]

What else do you know?

[Video]

[its-leviosa.livejournal.com]

[Oh no you did not just tell her that her knowledge was basic. Oh. no.]

I know loads of other things as well.

Re: [Video]

[waverly-wiz.livejournal.com]

Now we're talkin'!
How big's the load?

[Alex gets a kick out of one-upping, but when she loses one-up battles, she's likely to pull the 'I don't care' card.]

[Video]

[its-leviosa.livejournal.com]

[Hermione totally gets a kick out of one-upping too. ... They actually have a lot in common, considering.

And she'll just smile. Slang doesn't translate right sometimes, does it? But it's time to brag regardless.]

I've been told I'm in the best in my year.

Re: [Video]

[waverly-wiz.livejournal.com]

Ah, an overachiever. You sound like my brother Justin.
[Being here for so long, she kind of missed her brother. So talking about him grew easier and easier.]

I'd prefer to call it hard-working and studious.
