"Gosh that's annoying. What is your school situation, actually? Did you ever officially drop out or get a GED or anything?"

"I have my dad's permission but have not bothered with the administration. I should probably get a GED at some point but haven't bothered yet."

"Yeah. Man, there are just so many ways neither society is set up to make sense of what we're doing."

"It's true. Might improve once we're 18."

"Yeah. I kind of hope we can at least tell the rest of the critters our species by then, but maybe that's optimistic. Did we ever decide whether we're telling our students or not?"

"I think we should play that really close to the chest till our eggs are in more baskets."

"Yeah, we can't un-tell people or really stop them from telling anyone else." Theoretically magic could be able to prevent people from doing things, but that's not what she wants to spend research time on when there are so many other avenues of research that aren't awful at all.

"Exactly."

"Do you want to make an appointment to look at the place with the lecture hall? Even if we don't end up wanting to go for it we'll probably learn stuff about what to look for and how real estate agents will react to us."

"Yeah, that's a good idea."

"Admittedly not as romantic as the pyramids at sunset, but more practical." Blush. "And hanging out with you is the best part of anything we do together anyway." 

"I was about to say 'we'll see if you still think that after we've been examining real estate together' but actually that's only a good response to a slightly different assertion you didn't make, hanging out with me will probably actually be the best part of examining real estate."

"Yeah, I think for real estate to beat hanging out with you it would have to be literal actual Hogwarts. Complete with both of us turning out to be that kind of witches."

"I would worry all the time about losing my wand."

"Yeah, it'd be like a phone except you'd need someone else to summon it instead of calling it."

"I don't actually lose my phone much so maybe my worries would be unfounded."

"Yeah, you're sufficiently competent that if it was a problem you would have then wizards would be losing their wands left and right and come up with some sort of solution for it. Specially shaped pockets, at a minimum."

"I'm not sure my generalized competence is why I don't lose things."

"As in you think you're better at not-losing-things than you are at other stuff, or vice versa, or just that not losing things isn't correlated with other skills in general?'

"The last one. But also the second one I guess. I don't lose my phone in particular but I've left my jacket somewhere in recent memory."

"I don't often leave things places, but I do misplace things in here pretty often. It was less bad before I took up a magic system that goes through a lot of paper but I've always been kind of a messy desk person."

"Oh no! At least you haven't had any major magical mishaps about it. Grabbing the wrong diagram or whatever. I guess you wouldn't, have you had things that would've been bad if you were somebody else?"

"No, thankfully. I recheck which one I've got before doing anything, and anyway my problems are less 'invisibility diagram in the teleport pile' and more 'I put the whole stack of invisibility diagrams on top of my voltimeter and now I can't find the voltimeter even though it was right there a minute ago'."

"Ooh, a voltimeter."

"Yeah, I was using it for my free electricity project."
