     “Hmm.. I mean.. that’s a great idea actually.” he took a second longer to ponder the idea. “And I know. Some sort of switching charm could work perhaps.” he sighed. This had proven more difficult than he had first anticipated. “You know, if I could make a spell that could make this work, I’d definitely get an EE in charms.”

       “Is it?” She asked, a bit of a confident smile coming and going as soon as he went on talking, Nessa clearing her throat right afterward. “You could try that, yeah. I think that’s a little more complicated than just having it turn once.” She pointed out the obvious, and for a moment she felt dumb, but at the moment it felt necessary to say it out loud. “It... shouldn’t be difficult. If everything fails, you could ask the head of your house to help you, let you take out some advanced books. I do it all... I mean, it’s what I would do.”

        “Non-verbal magic?” he simply repeated with a raised eyebrow, then quickly lifting the corners of his lips up in a smile. “I-.. well. I can’t say non-verbal magic is something I’m strong in.” he answered with a light, but noticeably embarrassed tone to his voice. “I was just practicing. It’s for a gift and I thought it’d be a cool reveal to give a necklace which was actually a book. It sounds lame.. now that I say it aloud.”

       “Well, maybe... maybe not a book, but a journal?” She suggested. His idea wasn’t as terrible as he now thought it was, and she ran to correct herself so he wouldn’t think she was making fun of him in any way. “I don’t think it’s a lame idea... by the way. But I think that would entail something more complicated than a simple spell. I mean, if you want it to be able to go back and forth between a book and a necklace?”

          ❝ i don’t have any. ❞ frank tapped the desk with his pencil, eyes darting between the paper and the individual in front of him. he wasn’t lying. just because he took the time to go to class, doesn’t mean he was willing to do anything. ❝ yes, i went. i just felt too tired to write stuff down. ❞

       “None? At all?” She asked, perhaps a little too perplexed. “H-how do you study then? Or do you just... don’t?” Between her questions and the way he spoke to her only made Nessa feel dumb. It wasn’t a new feeling but she just never got used to it. A little defeated, she sat down on the couch, very straight, looking forward. “I suppose, I technically don’t need to study anymore. Still wanted to do it, though.” She murmured, though, partially more to herself.

           “reparifarge.” christopher mumbled as the book in his hand reverted back to normal. he let out a long sigh before placing it back down on the table. “i’ve been trying to turn this book into a necklace forever. it just won’t work.” he, for once, looked defeated. “here i thought i was good at transfiguration… d’you want to try? i guess i could use the help.”

       “Have you tried with non-verbal magic?” Nessa asked. They were fairly new to it, but for the most part, she thought it was easier than saying the spells out loud. some of her classmates didn’t have the same luck. Yes, luck. She was sure she wouldn’t have been able to if she wasn’t lucky. “Uhm... Why would you want to turn a book into a necklace, though?”

          ❝ no, i’m not going to do your homework for you for one sickle. i barely do my own homework and i won’t be doing yours for one mere sickle. ❞

       “I'm not asking you to do my homework for you, just lend me your notes. I couldn’t go to some classes yesterday and... Well, could you?”

Introducing lady number VI:

( DIANNA AGRON ) ⤬ There goes NESSAROSE FAIRCHILD. I hear they’re SEVENTEEN, a SIXTH YEAR. Would you believe SHE really is a RAVENCLAW? At least, I’ve heard they’re PATIENT and ELEGANT, but they also seem somewhat OVERLY SENSITIVE and SHY. For a PUREBLOOD, I think they’re alright, but you never know.

Actual Princess. Very well-mannered, remains silent unless someone asks her something, can cook/sew/knit/ if needed, wears dresses 24/7, is pretty AF, very dedicated, rather oblivious.

Being what I call a low pureblood, Nessie’s family doesn’t have much more money left so their plan is to arrange a marriage between her and a fairly rich family so they can keep up the appearances. Think Victoria from The Corpse Bride. 

Despite usually staying in the back during class, and calling herself an assistant to whoever she’s paired with for some assignments, Nessa is very intelligent and pays attention to detail a lot, but... she does not enjoy having attention on her. Not because of modesty, but because she knows people aren’t going to give her credit for anything she does.

She’s pretty resigned to marry for money and status, but hopes her future husband is a nice person she can be friends with. 

More often than not, she keeps her feelings to herself, even when people ask her, Nessie doesn’t like making others worry, and on top of that, she somehow thinks that somehow makes her lose some dignity; “being weak”.
