"I want to learn the Killing Curse."

"You said it doesn't work on daeva and it wouldn't be a good thing to do anyway."

"Oh, I know, it'll just improve my mood. You okay?"

"Can't go back to Hogwarts. Don't even know if I'll be able to see it anymore."

"I'm sorry."

"It's not your fault."

"Yeah, it is. Everything is. We're trying to find an Arda that doesn't suck so we can ask some not-terrible Valar to solve all our problems, maybe they can do that one too."

"That's a good idea."

"Anyway, box of kittens?"

"I thought you were avoiding killing kittens now that you're aware of societies that care about that."

"I don't think demonic ones count."

"Yeah but I think they mind less about rats or something."

"They do. I kind of want to kill a lot of kittens."

There they are.

He goes off to try to reconstruct the spell.

Cam goes and finds Minor a bit later.

He isn't hard to find on account of not having moved.

"Hey. Wanna learn a language and translate a textbook for the security and infirmary people to take home?"

"Yeah, okay. Does translating stuff even work in Milliways -"

"It does if you're actually fluent in both languages, but it'd be hard to learn one the long way under the translation effect. You'll have to get Timothy to dismiss you and then security guy'll resummon you."

"Okay."

"Where's he gotten to?"

"His room, I think."

"With the door closed you shouldn't experience much time between summonses," Cam says, and he goes looking for Timothy.

Who is in fact in his room.
