((continued from hereDarin gave her a 'yeah right' look when Dari claimed she wouldn't get enough NEWTs. "Are you kidding? Besides, I thought you got kicked out of Ravenclaw if you failed a class." He sent her a smile as he continued to stir. Darin didn't know her that well, but he had the feeling that Dari could get into pretty much whatever

Dari shook her head. "N.E.W.T.s are tough and they don't let just anyone be an Unspeakable, you know. Father thinks I should set my sights a little lower, maybe go work in his office."

Dari made a slight face and then she realized she was getting far too personal and talking about things she normally avoided talking about. What was that about? She was glad when he distracted her by his last remark.

"I guess it does," she replied, grinning a little bit.

"Oh.. don't forget to lower the flame," she cautioned a moment later. A melted cauldron was not in her list of things she wanted to happen tonight.

Darin shrugged. "I imagine you should set your sights wherever you like and go from there," he said simply. Didn't seem like very good fatherly advice to assume you couldn't do something but Darin wasn't going to comment. What did he know, after all? It wasn't really his business.

"Oi!" He quickly adjusted the heat and sent Dari a grateful look. "You were saying about me doing well?"

Dari smiled at Darin's encouragement even if he hadn't meant anything by it. It was a nice thing for him to say and she appreciated it.

She laughed and shook his head as he adjusted the flame. "Oh.. well.. I was distracting you. You really are doing very well. Better than last time, even, and improvement is always a good thing."

"Considering where I'm coming from? Yeah, I think so," Darin joked. He knew taking Potions was a smart thing to do but it didn't make NEWT level any easier. It was starting to look like he'd actually pull through though, which was good.

"So, I feel bad making you go though this all with me. I'm sure you have better things to be doing and all. Any way I can pay you back? Not in the market for a wedgie hex are you?" Granted, the hex wasn't technically his to barter but it was a joke anyway. Darin was thinking tutoring for tutoring but then again, Dari probably had everything well in hand.
