WHO: Tiberius and Amos
WHEN: Monday after class
WHERE: Classroom 5
WHAT: Amon and Tiberius have a well overdue talk
RATING: Pretty tame, save possible language

Tiberius was having a hard time communicating these days. His run in with Mossy the other night left him shaken, Ed was most likely still furious with him about his comments about Trish, and to cap off the bad weekend and start a bad week, his comments about the Muggle Studies section of the library rounded off the list of best friends to piss off with Ro and Mossy.

While he waited for Amos in room five, he took a deep exhausted breath and looked back at the weekend and how things had gone so wrong for him. Much of his trouble with communication had to do with his immense guilt at keeping things from his friends-things which had an immense weight to them. He had been meaning to have this conversation with Mossy for a while, but that did not make it any less nerve racking and hard. The longer his friend waited to show up, the increasingly hot Tiberius' brow became. Situations like these are partly the reason he loved flying. The air always held a new means of escape, even if you had to do it yourself. Just as he was about to jump ship and prolong the inevitable once again, the door rattled and Amos walked through the threshold.

Tiberius held his breath.

This simply was not going according to plan, or to Tiberius’ favor.

“You think I don’t know that? Why else do you think I’ve kept it a secret all these years!”

As he was speaking he became suddenly aware that Amos might be feeling a sense of betrayal. He dropped the defensive tone and continued on.

“I....I’ve been meaning to tell you. Really I have. I just wasn’t sure how you’d take it. Obviously not well. I’m sorry.”

After a brief silence, he continued on.

“But don’t think I regret it. If I could have done something differently, I would have told you before, but I still would have done it. Amos' eyes flew open and he bit the inside of his cheek to stop himself from yelling within earshot of the corridor. He'd suspected that this was the case when Tiberius had mentioned the spell, but to hear him admitting it was just... Amos couldn't put his feelings into words.

"What the hell were you thinking?" the younger boy hissed. "It's illegal, Tiberius! If you got caught, you'd be in huge trouble, probably expelled!"

So that's how I was searching the forest, only I cocked it up by injuring myself by hitting a tree. I had to open my leg satchel and rough up my clothes to make it look not so odd, but I did too much and it looked even more suspicious. I'm sorry I lied to you before. But now that you know, you won't tell anyone, will you?"
