I hardly see why I should be expected to pass every subject if I have no desire to retain the knowledge learned in some of them.

[But he's bemoaned this for years and no one really cares to make an exception.]

It must be your plans for next year which have given you that smirk.

[willfixitforyou]

[He shrugs.]

Could be my plans for next week just as easily.

[And he laughs, very quietly, very briefly.]

Did you know they've offered me to teach here?

[Surely you at least will see why that suggestion is amusing.]

[not_a_hero]

Rumors only. I'm not sure it's a pleasure to hear they're not false.

[He leans back, looking him over.]

Defense Against the Dark Arts? Herbology?

Ah, no. Too obvious. Too easy. Occlumency then?

[willfixitforyou]

Arithmancy. Really, Dark Arts? Much too obvious, and I really doubt they trust me near the subject.

[In fact, his genius is likely only half the reason they want him. A good part of the other half is keeping an eye on him.]

[not_a_hero]

One never knows with Dumbledore. Might have done it just to catch you.

You're not taking it, are you?

[willfixitforyou]

Who knows? I just might.

Would that bother you?

[not_a_hero]

What you do or do not do hardly matters to me. I just can't imagine Hogwarts being enough for you. Limited to these grounds and the spaces around them. Isn't this a bit under the scope of your ambitions?

[willfixitforyou]

You keep speculating about those. I won't stay here for ever, even if I choose to accept. It'd get too boring, and I don't think I'll have patience with the ignorant forever. Besides, I'd keep having to repeat myself. No no no.

[not_a_hero]

Speculations are part of school; the rumor mill, the curious and chatty ghosts, the whispers in the corridors. But you'd know all about that.

An enchanted primate could teach Arithmancy.

[willfixitforyou]

Not like me.

[Insulting his favourite subject now? That's just low.]

[not_a_hero]

And in what way are you special?

[Doesn't care. There is no belt.]

[willfixitforyou]

You won't be here to find that out, now will you?

[...there really isn't. Also, he's not telling.]

Besides, most of the teachers here could be replaced with enchanted primates and the lessons wouldn't really suffer. Divination even has a chance of improving from it.

[not_a_hero]

Oh, god, divination.

[Worst subject ever!]

Can we please pretend in the graces of our free time that such a ridiculous waste of mental facilities does not exist?

[willfixitforyou]

It scarred you that badly?

[He thought watching people during the lessons was funny. And bullshitting on essays and homeworks was something he turned into an artform.]

[not_a_hero]

[Divination is far too often what people associate his deductive leaps for. Since when was reason harder to accept for a skill than magic?!]

Scarred? No. It's simply an affront to common sense.

[willfixitforyou]

Common sense is a misnomer anyway.

[Or that would be out of the curriculum so fast. Obviously.]

[not_a_hero]

A common sense for the common people. Neither of us is common.

[willfixitforyou]

[A smile. Head tilting, swaying, side to side. Contemplating? Maybe. Maybe just a habit.]

Obviously. And what's your plan, once you're blessedly done here?

[not_a_hero]

[Sherlock smirks.]

Oh, I thought I might do a bit of traveling. A nice extended gap year suits me. No real plans to seek a Ministry job and far too wasted in a shop. I'm bored. A change of scenery might help.
