Canon: Homestuck
Mun: James/Tri
Plot Specific: N

Alright, you little mixed group of magical disaster, just a heads up for the next class. Since variety is the spice of life, you get to choose just how to pass my next class from one of two ways. Generous, no?

Behind door number one, you get to write up an essay on using an unconventional area of magical study or spells in a fight. If you really need an example, here's one: using Care of Magical Creatures to raise up an army of Kneazles to conquer all of the British Isles. I'm sure Professor Vantas-Leijon could give you pointers on that particular, eheheheheh.

Behind door number two is something for the more physical of students, those who like doing a bit more spellwork than penwork. Last class we all went over the importance of the Shield Charm. Well, it's going to be the star again, as you must be able to cast a decent shield by the next time we meet. I will be testing the strength of it personally.

Now now, you don't have to worry. I won't throw you across the room with the force of whatever spell I use while I'm testing your shield.

I'm aiming to get someone in the lake. Nice weather for a swim.

Like usual, I'm available for any questions you might have about either assignment.

Art!

What?!

That's it, next time you're home you're sleeping in our room.

What, no! Sal, I'm sleeping fine!

You're sleeping on a pile of junk. I'm sure you'll sleep even better in an actual bed.

You can even sleep in the middle.

...The middle.

The middle.

...I'll think about it. Maybe.

So yes.

I said maybe!

Maybe yes?

Maybe I should give you another lesson in dueling, hell knows you need it.

Art, I'm a history teacher. Not a duelist.

Irrelevant.

When would a history teacher ever have to get into a duel?

I mean when it's not with his completely mad best friend.

There are plenty of reasons, Sal. The history of the world isn't pretty or decides to give you any forewarning.

I'm well aware, Art. I'm well-versed in that.

But I prefer methods of solving conflict that don't involve slinging spells around.

And when diplomacy doesn't work, or can't be used in time?

I know enough defensive spells.

[He kind of sucks at most of them.]

Yes, but you can't actually use them effectively.

The day you can keep from getting knocked on your ass by me for at least five minutes will be the day I stop heckling you.

Fine. If it'll get you off my case I'll let you give me lessons over the summer.

But only if you promise not to go gallivanting off to Brazil or Germany or wherever for a while at least. We've missed you.

We could start now. Dueling's fun.

Eh... I'll try. You know how I feel about staying still, Sal.

If you have time. I finished my last class an hour ago.

I know. It's selfish to ask you to stay for very long. We just miss you when you're away, that's all. All of us.

I just told my class they can do an essay or get thrown in a lake, I have a little time to kill.

And... [Ngh. He always feels shitty when they have these conversations, no matter how the others approach it.] I'm sorry.
