"She is going to kill me because I suck at herbology."
Oh. Of course it's something like that.
"I have a horrid essay from Sprout but my application for a time-turner was denied and given to Granger so instead of studying for it I focused on my medi-witch training. And if I don't do the extra credit I can't do the extra credit for Flitwick and if I don't do that-"
Several things about those sentences have Cedar's mind twisting. First, that anyone in this bloody school was qualified for a Time-Turner. He figured something that powerful would be kept far out of reach of students. It doesn't surprise him that Granger got it, though. Of course it'd be her.
Second, that Greengrass was studying as a medi-witch, though he probably should've expected to hear the unexpected. Greengrass has been throwing him for a loop for years now.
And third-
"School was easier when it wasn't magical!"
What the fuck school did this guy go to before Hogwarts??!!
Cedar's known the eldest Greengrass was adopted since the day they met. Well, even before that, technically. His parents had raised him and his siblings on a steady diet of Pureblood culture, and Alexander Greengrass had not existed before Hogwarts. But Cedar's knowledge ends there.
Outside of his family and Hogwarts, Alexander Greengras... kind of doesn't exist. Which Cedar normally wouldn't give a flying fuck about, but he's really curious about this non-magical school.
Does he just mean etiquette classes? But we were taught a few simple spells, even back then...
As puzzling as the matter is, Cedar files it away in the back of his mind, because it's not a priority. Which isn't to say that solving Greengrass' problems is, but Cedar's in too deep to back out now.
"The personal choice essay? That's due tomorrow," Cedar says, marking his book and setting it to the side. "How much have you done? And what topic did you choose?"
