sofarsogood That feeling when you haven't really touched a cauldron since OWLs but work has arranged a study programme for you... Getting my study on. Luckily I don't seem to have forgotten everything!

	@bashthingsin: Good to know I won't be starting from basics like "what is a cauldron?" Looking forward to working with you, Sofía. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	@sofarsogood: I even know which way up the cauldron goes, so we should be off to a good start! I'm looking forward to meeting you in person. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	@bashthingsin: eh, you may not feel that way once you've actually met me. According to most I'm an absolute ~monster at work. And in life. Just as my cousin Dagny. Though, come to think of it, it is funny we haven't met. I am looking forward to it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	@sofarsogood: The saddest moment of last year was when my favourite barista left Sweet Nothings. DM Not even a little bit. I cannot function without coffee. We'll get on fine. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Was Bennie your favorite, too? She used to let me buy little bags of this amazing Cuban bean her grandparents would have imported... Weird to see her on weevee. Not that I watch that show...

I'm glad to hear you understand the importance of the only necessary food item in the world. In my opinion, honestly, coffee is better than Pepper Up, but I'd never admit to saying that.

So, um, tell me about yourself? When do they have you starting?

	Yes! We used to do a lot of our transactions in Spanish which was so nice of her. Not sure what there is to say? I'm in the second year of my cursebreaking apprenticeship. I think I'm starting later in the week? I'm back in at Gringotts on Tuesday, so hopefully they'll have all details ironed out then. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

You speak Spanish? I learned Italian when I was young, we spent a lot of time in Rome, but when I'm in the islands with my family - my grandparents live in the Caribbean - I'm useless when we're outside of their little neighborhood.

I didn't even know Bennie speaks Spanish. Though I guess with her being Cuban and all. I guess I'm not the most observant before the coffee.

	I do. My dad's from Mexico. It's the only other language I speak, though. I promise I'm not some incredible polyglot! Don't worry, I'm not much use before coffee either. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: DM bashpucey 2022-01-02 08:55 pm UTC (link)
	"Polyglot." Goodness, they're sending me a right egghead, eh? Not that that's a bad thing... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You have no idea. If it's any help, I'm a very attentive student. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Are you? I can be a very thorough teacher. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: DM sofiagomez 2022-01-02 09:07 pm UTC (link)
	~~Are you~~ That's good to know. And now I know to bring coffee to keep the monster at bay. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: DM bashpucey 2022-01-02 09:11 pm UTC (link)
	You're a cursebreaker - would you really want to keep monsters at bay? Seems like battling them would be right up your alley... ~~Egghead or not, you're ho~~ (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: DM sofiagomez 2022-01-02 09:49 pm UTC (link)
	I've been doing surprisingly little monster battling. Nothing much bigger than insects usually! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: DM bashpucey 2022-01-02 09:52 pm UTC (link)
	Maybe they're sending you to me for the monster part of your training instead of the potions? I've heard of weirder ideas coming from the Goblins, and my reputation does precede me. ~~Are you seeing anyo--~~ ~~what are your thoughts on students and teacher--~~ (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: DM sofiagomez 2022-01-02 10:18 pm UTC (link)
	Maybe they are. I wouldn't put anything past them. Am I going to have to vanquish you at the end of this training? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: DM bashpucey 2022-01-02 10:26 pm UTC (link)
	I don't doubt your talents but that would be ~quite the undertaking. I also suppose it would depend on your definition of vanquish? ... You wouldn't want to meet before you begin training, would you? To get the small talk and such out of the way, you know. I'm terrible at small talk. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: DM sofiagomez 2022-01-02 10:49 pm UTC (link)
	I haven't decided on my definition yet. I might need to see what sort of monster I'm up against first. You seem okay at small talk so far? But I suppose we are going to be spending a lot of time together. It wouldn't hurt? Coffee? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: DM bashpucey 2022-01-02 11:15 pm UTC (link)
	I happen to have some of that Cuban bean still leftover. Come over on the 2nd. 9pm. I'll have just gotten off a shift (oh yeah, I hope you don't very long hours in a very small room). [floo address] (Reply to this) (Parent)

	@weasleygranger: You'll be brilliant, you always are, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Especially bullies. And potionsmasters with superiority complexes. Or any potionsmasters at all. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	@sofarsogood: I did okay for OWLs. There just weren't enough hours in the day to carry on with it. I'm going to be optimistic and assume people aren't bullies before I even meet them. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	DM weasleygranger 2022-01-02 08:04 pm UTC (link)
	@weasleygranger: I mean, have you been to Puceys Potions? If he's anything like his dad... and he ~did follow the family career path after all... I just. He doesn't seem very nice. And if his own family thinks he's "a monster"... I just worry about you. Also, who doesn't like ~tea? It's like the least offensive thing in the world. And what's a "tea snob"? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: DM sofiagomez 2022-01-02 08:27 pm UTC (link)
	Of course I've been to Pucey's Potions. I'd never be able to go to a Quidditch match without one of their calming draughts. Maybe the monster thing was a joke??? I'm not going to judge someone on a couple of social media comments. That's just illogical. What's a "tea snob"? Hugo, how many types of tea do you have in your kitchen right now?

	Hugo, I say this with love ~~as your best friend~~, but go and make yourself a cup of tea. While you drink it, maybe see if you can use some context clues to figure out what a tea snob is. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm only going to be spending a few days a week with him in a professional environment. I'm pretty sure this is all going to be less dangerous than my usual training. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: DM weasleygranger 2022-01-02 09:06 pm UTC (link)
	For some reason I can't figure, I worry less about your usual training than this. He just seems... Smarmy, somehow. I don't know. Not my place either way. I'm sorry. You're right. It's not like anything bad can happen at St. Mungo's. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: DM sofiagomez 2022-01-02 09:19 pm UTC (link)
	I'm also very good with curses and hexes, maybe some nice subtle work-appropriate ones if he gets too smarmy. It'll be fine. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
