The Knights at Hogwarts what classes they'd be good at and not, would anyone play quidditch? Or be a prefect?
Best class: Defense Against the Dark arts
Best class: Transfiguration & Divination
Worst class: Defense Against the Dark arts
Best class: Care of Magical creatures
Her best class is definitely Defense against the Dark arts
Not because of the typical Gryffindor thing, ew no
She's an exorcist and a damn good one at that, she's been trained literally all her life to fight demons and dark creatures
So DADA would come naturally, even if she doesn't care much about having favourite classes
She's kind of scary to go up against though because she's good
Jayden watches her on their free time to practice
She does not however like Herbology
She's fairly certain she's got allergies to most of the things in that greenhouse
Doesn't show up for class half the time for reason stated above
Just wants the teacher to move on to the deadly maneating plants and get it overwith already
Definitely plays Quiddich, probably as like a chaser
Tried out because some boy said girls don't play as well and man has he lived to regret that
Now Quiddich, there is something you might see her get passionate about
Only during practice though, she doesn't talk about it outside and brushes it off as "Just fine"
She's definitely an avid and competitive player, and you should be really scared for the opposing team
Running joke with her friends that everyone's glad she didn't become a beater
Can you imagine this scary redhead with a bat? Aiming the bludgers at people?
Tried it once for a year though, it was terrifying
Declined the idea of being a prefect because she was already made Gryffindor Quiddich captain and that was more than enough responsibility.
To be honest at first he thought he was going to ace charms
Because, as he says "I've got all of them"
Then he realized charms class was not what he thought it was
He got invested in Transfiguration instead and it became his favourite subject
Why? Because he's lazy but the more he learns about changing things into other things, the easier his life gets
Point is, he got really invested and actually pays attention in class
He's also good at divination
Except he doesn't know how
He completely guessed the whole thing and somehow interprets it right
Probably because he makes it look like he's trying very hard and the teacher loves his enthusiasm
Astronomy is a whole other deal though
He's not the absolute worst at it by all means
But sometimes, just sometimes
"Wait that's the bear? That doesn't even remotely look like a bear. That looks like a cooking pan"
A lot of the stars look the same to him
Sometimes it works wonderfully, sometimes the exact opposite
Andy, troublemaker, social elite, a prefect? Enforcer of the rules?
Now no one is as competitive a quiddich player as Phoenix
But no one is as talkative and into other people's interests as Andy
He's the most popular one amongst students
And the one teachers yell at the most for getting a bit biased or off topic
Not to say he's naturally talented with every single class
But he works very hard and it really shows in his grades
When it comes to charms especially, if you don't know him, you'd think he's a natural.
Don't be surprised to see a big study group gathered around him in the common rooms before the O.W.Ls.
Not unusual to see people from other houses join in on the study session.
He's even taken over as denmother for the younger housemates and tutors them too
Now Jayden isn't a confrontational guy
Their friend group already has Duke and Phe & that's more than enough
So a dueling class that requires not studying beforehand, but spontaneous reaction like DADA?
Not his strong suit at all
That's where his best friendship with Pheonix comes in
She's more than willing to let him watch and practice whenever
Gets royally irked though because he doesn't like using attack spells on his friends
Almost yelled at him about being too good multiple times
He's not a big sports fan
So Quiddich was not an option
He's more than glad to just be supportive of his friends on the stands
When he's not having a crisis between cheering for his friend or his house
After all that, anyone who thinks he wouldn't be a perfect prefect is wrong
Takes this responsibility very seriously
Especially against Andy's bribery every time the latter gets into trouble
He's also one of the most likely to become Head Boy
Looks like a total dropout
Yet aces portions like nobody's business
Watching him work is like watching the Wizard version of master chef
Except he knows what he's doing and making it look like he's doing something as simple as making his bed
It's funnier when his resting face makes him look like he's really angry
Anyone asks though he says it's just because most people can't read simple instructions and that's why they fail.
Honestly he's probably right
Now, Duke is a practical guy, and potions is a practical subject
History of magic... is not
He doesn't understand the point of it
And what he doesn't understand the point of he doesn't care about
...Unless he's forced to because he still respects Mcgonagall and her disappointed look is enough to make even Voldemort flinch
There's one way he would become a prefect
And that's because he doesn't trust any of the failures in his house to be
Okay maybe two, he also gets to give detention to said failures if they annoy him.
Quiddich though? No thanks
Dealing with all those popular, obnoxious, attention seeking little sh-
Also he was there when that one boy told Phoenix girls aren't as good in the sport
He'd never been prouder to know her but he's not getting involved
Honestly, it was by complete accident that her best class ended up being caring for magical creatures
She always saw herself being good at a cool class like DADA
Theory is never properly translated into reality though
Some of the creatures, like the hippogriffs, ended up having a natural affinity for her
She ended up falling in love with them too
Now goes to visit them every day like her life depends on it
Potions…is not her fault, she swears
The professor is just too scary and makes her really nervous and prone to messing up a lot
Phoenix suggested she take things slow and have Duke help her practice
Except that she finds him scary too
Now each time she practices with Duke, one of the other knights has to be present for her to hide behind
Now, Arty is also a huge fangirl of Phoenix Duncan
So obviously when her idol was part of the Quidditch team, she had to try too
Except that the teams are so competitive she had never felt that much panic and anxiety in her life,
It was a very short-lived career choice
As for Prefect, it requires having authority and conviction to deduct points from people…meanwhile, Artemis spends most of her time with Andy, enough said.
