“ Dinnae fash yersel’ lad, keep the heid.” he replied as he stopped to look over the student’s work. There was a lot of fallacies within the formula that Eden didn’t quite know where to begin. 

He smiled, determined. He waved his hand gently, as his chair rolled across the floor to him. He settled cozily into the chair and pulled the paper over to him.

“Let’s begin wit whit ye dae understand.” he said kindly. He began to draw a diagram onto the back of the parchment. 

“ Ye ken that alchemy is nothin’ moor than the breaking down oof matter and the reconstructin’ oof it?” he smiled and continued. “ Ye can make so much oot oof it but ye always need tae remember Alchemy’s rule. Whit ye destroy must be equal tae whit ye remade, the properties must be equal.” 

His eyes had gone slightly wide, and honestly - he wasn’t the best at school, but he nodded his head along with the professor’s words, not entirely certain how he should go about explaining where he was having trouble. Starting from the beginning was his best possible bet, really.

It was true. She wanted to argue. Everyone knew that it was true, everyone knew that almost every bad wizard in history had come from one house and one house alone. And that was Slytherin. And just because he had a boner for Kai freaking Parker didn’t change that fact. “Do you really think it would have been that different if you were in Slytherin? You would have just been sitting over there with all of them talking about how we’re all rejects and Mudbloods and worthless.” She snapped back, sucking in a breath before she took a step away from him. “You might look down on us because we’re not…full of courage or cunning or intelligence, but some of us are actually proud of where we ended up.”

“—–”

      “You’re just being dramatic.”

“That’s what you want me to think.”

——— ELENA sighed, used to his behavior towards her, even MORE so around this time of the year. she considered LEAVING him be but decided it would be better to just SPIT it out. ❝  jeremy… i… have you gotten any MAIL that wasn’t yours? i’ve been WAITING for an order but it hasn’t ARRIVED yet.  ❞ and once again, elena gilbert chickens out.

As Jeremy’s footsteps - and voice - got fainter as he headed downstairs, Elena’s focus on the paper she was writing faltered slightly. With trying to get her grades back up and fix things with Bonnie and Caroline, she hadn’t had a chance to apologize to Jeremy yet. And he was kind of the person she had screwed over the most. 

Fuck this, the paper can wait. I’m already half-way done - if I need to I can bullshit the last few paragraphs.

She stood up and began to head downstairs, hearing the rustle before she spotted Jeremy hunting for their ungodly huge stack of takeout menus. 

“If you don’t want takeout I can attempt to make something,” she blurted out before she could even process the words. 

“Not if you’d been born in ancient Greece. Their views on sexuality were far more open and accepting, and it was actually believed that sleeping with other men made you a superior warrior, making homosexuality the preferred orientation in times of battle,” she replied, shrugging lightly. “Does that mean you don’t believe in reincarnation?”
