Adventures in Tutoring || Sheldon and Wendy

[small-turtle-bro-blog]

adventures-and-thimbles:

Wendy looked the boy over. Prone to self-doubt, she briefly considered she might’ve had the wrong name. But she quickly brushed the thought from her mind. What were the odds that she had gotten the wrong name and it just so happened to be his name? More specifically, what were the odds of it being the name of the only person sitting by himself where she was supposed to tutor someone? Wendy was willing to bet the answer was “not very high.”

Raising an eyebrow, she slid into the seat next to him. “Well,” she began matter-of-factly, knowing how to deal with charges trying to get out of unpleasant things. “We sure have a lot of work to do if you can’t even remember you have tutoring. Perhaps we should have our tutoring sessions more often,” she continued, a glint of mischief in her eyes. “Or else how will you ever be able to remember the dates for History of Magic?”

In reply to Wendy offering on meeting more often Sheldon let out a nervous laugh.  “Or instead how about we just don’t meet, I’m obviously a lot of work, let’s just not waste our time.”  Sheldon replied more sarcastically than usual.  All he wanted to do was go back to his dorm and feed his turtle, but no he had to be here.  “Besides I’m all caught up with History of Magic, there’s nothing to worry about here. Also I’m a ravenclaw we’re good at this kind of thing.” Sheldon added gesturing to his own books and notes.

Marie smiled at the boys suggestions, “it just started today so I’m gonna try just making sure he rests and adjusting his diet a little first since he keeps throwing up, but he is getting a little old…” The blonde started tearing up a bit just thinking about it. She’s had Sir Tubbington since she was young and he’s basically one of her only true friends at this point. “He’ll be ok,” she smiled and nodded, more trying to reassure herself. 

When Marie began talking about her cat being old Sheldon couldn’t help but feel sympathy for her.  His own pet turtle was still fairly young, but he wouldn’t know what he would do if he lost his best friend.  “Well my grandpa is 98 and still pushing along, so I bet that you’re cat is going to stick around no matter how old he is.”  Sheldon said trying to bring some optimism into the situation.  “Besides I think that this fluffy guy looks like he still has a bunch more extra lives.”

“Yeah he doesn’t seem to be really feeling too well… I hope he’s ok.”

As soon as Sheldon saw another student holding a cat in the ravenclaw common room, the fifth year dropped everything that he was doing and rushed over to meet the furry creature.  Personally he favored reptiles over any other pets, but cats always seemed like they were fun animals.

Once he saw the concerned facial expression on Marie’s he knew that it must have been about her furry companion.

“Have you tried taking him to a vet?  Maybe he ate something he wasn’t supposed to?”  Sheldon questioned automatically worried for the cat.

Adventures in Tutoring || Sheldon and Wendy

“Don’t forget your essay is due tomorrow,” the professor noted before dismissing the class for the day. There were mixed responses from the students - ranging from groans to wishing the teacher a good day - as they filed out. Most streamed in one of four directions, heading to their respective common rooms before dinner.

Wendy, however, having agreed to tutor a fifth year, headed for the library. All she knew was the boy’s year and his name, but surely there wouldn’t be that many students in the library at this time. He’ll be easy to find, she told herself as she tugged open the door to the library.

I️ was right about one thing, she thought, surveying the library. There aren’t many students here… But the problem was, the only boy who looked like he was a fifth year was a Ravenclaw. Even though Wendy didn’t know every Ravenclaw personally, she could recognize her housemates on sight. Still, while it might seem improbable that a Ravenclaw need tutoring, Wendy knew I️t was not impossible.

”Excuse me?” she said, coming up to his table. “You wouldn’t happen to be Sheldon, would you?”

Sheldon was never one who perfectly stuck in the mold of being a ravenclaw, but he still tried to keep some of his grades up.  Yet once he joined the quidditch team it seemed like he was stuck juggling two things that he felt the need to exceed in.  So once he found out that he had been recommended to get a tutor the ravenclaw resented it and allowed his grades to drop even more.  And once the head of the house found out, the recommendation turned into a requirement. 

So as Sheldon entered the library he debated on just leaving.  He could easily say that he forgot, or had too busy of a schedule to show up.  For a few moments Sheldon remained standing in the middle of the library looking around for anyone who looked tutor worthy, but for the most part the library remained empty except for a few older students studying for potions.  With a sigh Sheldon sat near the group to blend in and began to act like he was taking some kind of notes.

Every time a different person entered the library Sheldon would look up to make sure it wasn’t possibly his tutor.  But once an upperclassman of the same house entered the library Sheldon automatically knew that she was his tutor.  As she walked towards him Sheldon continued to act like he was writing, only looking up when she began to talk to him. 

“Uhh, yeah.. why?”  Sheldon asked hoping that if he played dumb maybe the seventh year ravenclaw would think that she had the wrong student.

“It’s… very early. But practice makes them perfect for when the season is around, don’t you think?” She asked with a small smile. Hope mostly that he wasn’t some scrooge hidden under everything. “Yeah? Well, I mean. I guess I better get to baking then, huh?”  

“Yeah I understand, gotta always be prepared to spread Chrismas cheer even if its the middle of October.”  Sheldon agreed with a nod.  Even if she was two months early, Sheldon still liked the was this girl was thinking. “I guess so, but the real question is what cookies are you planning on making?”

Elan listened carefully to his story. There were obviously a lot of holes, and he didn’t have a lot of practice covering up those holes or he would have been able to put together a much better story. Still, the pieces he did say were troubling enough. But it wasn’t the kind of thing you came out with on a first acquaintance. At least, not if you were someone else. “So you have to run away from them regularly? That sounds like at least a little bit of a big deal, although I suppose it’s better than them being fast enough that they could catch you, but it’s a ridiculous distinction to need to make.”

She paused for a moment, trying to pull together an adventure plan that might work for the boy with her. “I heard that there’s a secret passage somewhere around here that should lead to a warehouse that stores a lot of the extra Honeydukes candy, and some of it is the broken ones they can’t sell. So if we find it, we could take some of it and it wouldn’t really be stealing because they couldn’t sell it anyway and then we could have free candy.”

Sheldon shrugged he always ran away from his problems.  Which was most likely something he had to work on.  But it worked for the moment so he stuck with it.  As soon as Elan mentioned some sort of secret passage the ravenclaw’s eyes lit up.  It didn’t matter where it was to secret passages always sounded cool. “Danggggg well honestly even if we were stealing I’d be fine with it.  Free candy is basically gold around here.”  Sheldon joked totally excited about getting free candy.

“Is it too early to start baking Christmas cookies? I mean.. I understand we have two holidays to go, but I need to practice.” Chewing on her lip she looked up and gave the fellow beside her a smile. “You can be the taste tester? Maybe?” 

[small-turtle-bro-blog]

In Sheldon’s own educated opinion, Halloween was clearly the superior holiday.  You could dress up in fun costumes without any judgement and get free candy.  Which was probably two of the best things to ever happen in one day.  So when the other student began talking about making Christmas cookies the ravenclaw couldn’t help but to give a look of surprise.  “Well it may be a little too early.... BUT its never too early to make cookies.”  Sheldon replied, if he knew how to bake he’d probably bake all the cookies.

“Hey! Do that again, and I won’t just take away house points, you’ll get detention!” Mer glared up at the troublemaker with her hands on her hips. 

[small-turtle-bro-blog]

Sheldon stood there watching as Mer scolded the student who got caught vandalizing the walls of the school.  Being in the same house as the seventh year, along with quidditch team Sheldon couldn’t help but feel totally intimidated by her. 

“Do you really think that he’ll listen?”  Sheldon quietly asked as the student angrily stomped away.  “Because it honestly looked like he really wanted to finish this piece of art.”  The ravenclaw added more sarcastically.

Elan was about to launch into her newest plan, when she fully realized the initial part of his comment. It might have seemed rude, but with her own bad experiences, her protective instincts were instantly aroused. “Why were you trying to escape your family?”

Once Elan asked Sheldon about why he was trying to escape his family the ravenclaw froze for a second.  He honestly did not know what to say, especially since he had barely ever talked about his family in general.  “Oh uh, well, due to past events I had to move in with my uncle and cousins... they don’t like me that much, but its not that big of a deal.  Besides they have the worst sense of direction so you can easily out run them.”  Sheldon chuckled awkwardly he probably said too much and would probably regret even talking about his family.  But those would be things for future Sheldon to worry about. 

 “But, anyways, got an adventure plan yet?”

Annette shook her head at her fellow chaser, “Sheldon you just broke your broom!”

Sheldon sighed a little when Annetter stated the clear obvious.  He couldn’t really blame her though, the ravenclaw literally broke it in front of her face.  

He slowly brought the two halves in front of him and stared at it with raised eyebrows.  “Huh, I guess that I did.... Nothing super glue can’t fix right?”

“Alright then!” Bobby agreed and attempted to think of what they could do, “We could go on a hike or rent a broom and do some flying. Hogsmeade doesn’t really have a rule against doing it in public like London does!”

Sheldon debated Bobby’s options for a few moments. As harmless as hiking sounded, Sheldon had already ran enough for the day and still felt like passing out.  Besides flying happened to be one of the only things the ravenclaw was semi decent at.  “Flying would be fun.”

“You’re forgetting one thing, Mr. Evil Space Martian,” Nick replied with enthusiasm. Hopefully, no one he knew walked by. “Sheldon and I are friends and I know exactly how to break through to him!”

Sheldon froze for a second and narrowed his eyes, honestly a lot of things could break the ravenclaw.  So it was difficult to pinpoint what exactly his roommate was talking about.  “And how can you do that?”  Sheldon asked keeping up his dorky act.

“I think that kind of coincidence practically requires me go on an adventure together. Do you have any plans, or is the decision up to me?”

“Well I honestly only thought through escaping my family... I honestly didn’t think that I’d even get this far. Sooo I guess that you can make the decision if you want.” 

[logical-renaud-deactivated20180]

“Why would you do that?” 

[small-turtle-bro-blog]

Sheldon spun around with the remnants of his broom held tightly behind his back.  He didn’t mean to crash land; there was a bird who was flying way too close for comfort and Sheldon wouldn’t know what he’d do if it ran into him. 

Form a few moments the ravenclaw just stood there trying to come up with an answer, but clearly could not.  “D-Do what?”

Elan grinned at his comment. “That is a dire situation. Good thing you escaped before it made it to that point, otherwise no one would know even to rescue you. I’ve done much the same kind of escaping and now I’m in the mood for an adventure.”

“Yeah I’m still surprised that I made it out alive.”  Sheldon added dramatically.  “Wow, funny how we are both in need of an adventure and we just so happened to run into each other.”
