Miranda studies diligently but is kinda glum.

He notices. "Should I not ask what's wrong since last time that was kind of a disaster."

"It's just that. It was scary and I think he's mad at me and I wish it were different."

"It wouldn't be reasonable for him to be mad at you for scaring you."

"For not minding my own business," she clarifies.

"He wants to take over the world, he doesn't get to have his own business."

"He gets a little of it."

He tells Timothy to tell Miranda he's not mad at her.

The next day Feverfew comes and rubs her head against her leg.

...aw.

Timothy does not otherwise seek her out.

She avoids him less assiduously but doesn't make a nuisance of herself.

She does especially well in Charms again.

Minor and Karen continue to split the top marks in Ravenclaw. He does well enough in Runes to get permission to take two and three simultaneously next year.
