Neville, love, I'm sure it wasn't a fluke. It just proves that it isn't that you *can't* do potions, it's that Snape won't *let* you do them correctly. I'll help you if you'd like...

Do you really think so? People are probably still laughing at what my boggart turned into in third year. I don't know why he gets to me.

Mr. Longbottom, my office is always open if you require any assistance with your lessons. I would be happy to give remedial instruction.

Draco, stop it.

Neville, you're not bad at conversation, unless you're bad at it any time other than when you were talking to me. I'm sure your plants can vouch for that.

[not_invisible]

Don't worry Theo, everyone knows what he thinks of me.

As to the other, thanks. I'd ask the plants but...

Thanks Malfoy. Remind me never to stick up for you again.
