I'd like to think I'm not as obnoxious about my academic performance at Hogwarts as I used to be. Nine years out, it doesn't matter at all what your grades were.
Oh, that's not what I mean. I love my job. Couldn't see me doing anything else. But the only reason I got it was because of the war. Barely passed any OWLs. Didn't pass any NEWTs. Some days it feels kind of like I cheated a bit, that I don't know enough.
*shrug, teasing*
But you still like reminding me that you indeed are the smart one.
I know, that's what I mean. Almost everyone else there had that knowledge, was smart enough to pass all those NEWTs...but not me. Cause I didn't take them.
You have to say that because you're my brother. S'okay, I know I wouldn't have passed...don't think I wrote an essay on my own the entire time I was there.

And if I ever say shit like that to my own children, please smack me.

*grins cheekily*
But what if your children are just like me? Then I bet you'd sound just like Mum.
