"Sure, but we could still give it a whirl juxtaposing whatever we've got. ...I'm not very well equipped there either, but, still."

"I'm a little bit well-equipped, if the bullying counts."

"It might. Depends how it works."

"Still kinda horrible."

"Not very, and it might be useful."

"Yeah, definitely be good to get something out of the bullying."

"If you say so."

"I mean it will have happened anyway, so."

"My point exactly!"

"It's just efficient."

"Either of you wanna come with?" she directs the question to Willow and Karen.

"I was planning on using free period to practise Charms, but I could do that around you two."

"I concentrate better when nobody's going 'expecto patronum' across the room repeatedly..."

"Oh, yeah, that's a good point, it could get distracting."

"But we'll be with you in spirit?"

"Alright. If I manage it I'll bother you with a Patronus message."

"I wonder if the Patronuses pass through all the intervening space. We might alarm people wandering the halls if we did that."

"I think Spukhafte said if the target's too far the Patronus just disappears and appears there. I wonder if it does FTL, it'd be just like magic to do FTL without telling anyone."

"Well, I don't think we can easily test that on Earth unless one of us goes to Australia and we have hyper-accurate clocks that work around magic."

"I wonder if Patronuses can be used to collect information other than relaying messages. Like, 'Go to this address then return and tell me what you see.'"

"If it does all that I'm definitely learning it."

"I feel like that's the sort of thing Professor Spukhafte would have known, unlike the FTL thing."

"That's true. ...I wonder if apparition is FTL. Actually I wonder what-all even goes on with apparition, from what I've read we go through some bizarre non-space to get there and it feels weird, so if there's some wormhole or something going on it'd totally be possible for it to be FTL, too."

"I think you can't Apparate all the way around the world in one go, so it'd be hard to tell if that was FTL at all."

"Oh. Well, that's a bummer."
