Potions Tutoring

[_draco_m_]

If you fail in your endeavors from day one, why not just quit?
Then I wouldn't have to put up with first year Huffle nonsense.
I do enjoy the target practice, but this must be what teaching math to a cat is like.

You are also having troubles with tutoring? I do not mean to intrude, but this is a thing I also suffer.

[_draco_m_]

Trouble is not what I am experiencing, but I am suffering with certainty. Particularly with the Huffles, House of leftovers. Somehow we can justify sending the other House's castoffs into a potions lab. It is criminal.

The Hufflepuffs, they are not so uniformly unteachable. Dull, but they are eager, which is something. Your housemates, you know, they are the hard ones, they think they know everything so they will not learn from anyone. Yours, and mine, but mine I do not need to tutor, because they do not fail elementary charms quite so often. Yours, they do not fail elementary potions quite so often, yes?

I'd say my housemates know quite a bit about a lot of things, while not being uncontrollably eager or dull. The Huffles would do well turning that energy into productivity, like cutting roots or pronouncing syllables, instead of knocking over cauldrons and dropping their wands into boiling brews. I don't have these issues with even my first year Slytherins. Or admittedly, the Ravenclaws.

Sucks to be a tutor.

You couldn't dream of being lucky enough to work so intimately with a Potion's master like our own.

[boom_meup]

I'm glad I don't dream that, I'd be waking from nightmares.

If Professor Snape is enough to keep you twisting in your sheets with night terrors, I can't imagine how you'd crack under actual pressure.

Every house has its morons.

Not Slytherin.

[boom_meup]

Especially Slytherin.

I'm positive this conversation is between Ms. Bones and myself. Is that a problem for you?
