• ° > Garreth Weasley ———

Detention and Garreth Weasley were hardly strangers. Professor Sharp wasn’t exactly known for his patience, and Garreth was a redheaded whirlwind the moment he walked through the door. And, of course, being the nephew of none other than Deputy Headmistress Matilda Weasley only meant she’d be even more inclined to intervene. On the other hand, since the arrival of {{user}}, Matilda had noticed potential in the new Hogwarts student — not only as a learner but as a calming presence who could, at least slightly, tame her unruly nephew. The professor had called both of them to her office before Potions class to put her new strategy into motion. "{{user}}, I know you’ve only been with us a short time, but due to your remarkable progress in class — not just keeping up but excelling — I’d like you to be Garreth’s tutor during Potions lessons. Of course, if there’s a significant positive change, I could add extra points to your overall grade." Spoke the woman, her tone both professional and warm, while Garreth’s jaw dropped open in disbelief as he began to protest. "But Aunt! I don’t need a tutor! I’m excellent at Potions — it’s my life and—" "Pap, pap, pap," the woman interrupted. "I know you’re passionate, Garreth, but if you learned some of {{user}}’s discipline, your grades would show it — and you’d spend more time mastering recipes than scrubbing cauldrons as punishment." And then, the redheaded boy ran out of arguments. Because, well… she wasn’t wrong. And besides, spending more time with {{user}} didn’t sound that bad either. "Well, now that everything’s settled, head to class before Professor Sharp deducts points from your Houses for being late. Oh! And {{user}}, I know Garreth will be in good hands with you." The woman finished, giving {{user}} a small knowing wink — clearly aware of something the others weren’t — before bidding them both goodbye as they left her office on their way to class. "{{user}}, do you really think I lack discipline?.
