*Overhead a wire mesh encloses a distinctly forest-like garden. Quaint mossy cobblestones guide visitors around the enclosure - an exhibit of magical flora the world over, flocks of Cucuio hovering overhead like overgrown fireflies. A pleasant autumn chill has begun to bite into the air, only dimly apparent beyond the conjured humidity. Indeed, the heat is enough for Victoria to remove her cloak - as she begins to sling it off, she shoots Regulus an expectant stare. His assistance entirely unneeded and yet the only gentlemanly thing to do.*

Oh. Well.
I believe it's important to have an academic foundation for whatever one chooses to devote oneself to.

*Regulus does as well.*



What I mean to say is, I've found it to be very useful indeed. The basis for quite a lot of magic is Charms, abstract and practical.

*He makes a small and slightly pained expression that ultimately is as close to a smile as Victoria has yet received from him.*

Certainly it's warranted on occasion...

No. Not effort, no.

I simply meant boredom is sometimes acceptable. I wouldn't think less of you.

Do you find... me unreasonably tolerant of things?

*Regulus takes this polite-sounding criticism with a straight face but grows rather solemn. He has never been good with blunt descriptions of himself, and Victoria is hardly someone he feels comfortable enough around to not mind her opinions.*

*He nods, hardly noticeably and meant more to diffuse any disagreements than to actually agree.*

That is a shame. I remember her, from Hogwarts, the woman who wrote that.

Only twice, I believe. She was the Head Girl, they always assume they have the right to speak with anyone once they have those pins.

I should say so. It's one thing for her to express those kinds of opinions in her own home but to publish them...

*This topic of conversation is an improvement to the thin ice he had felt himself walking on when they had been addressing the nature of himself. Though hardly jovial, Victoria now seems slightly less of an intimidation, her apparent logic making Regulus feel much more at home than when her judgements are aimed toward him.*

Ms. Evans seemed to think she was particularly entitled. She was invited to dinners with Professor Slughorn, you know. And married James Potter.


I think of it as rather like - forgive me, I don't want to fill your time with such uncomfortable conversation, but - . It's an unfortunate mistake in genetics that they are born without magic, just as mudbloods are mistakes. A squib is not an authority on the muggle world and it's customs simply because it was born with their level of abilities, and a wizard born from muggles isn't the same as the rest of us because of it's the reverse of that...
