Next one, I won't be updating over the weekend as we're going away for my dad's birthday so I shall probably have a new chapter by next week :)
'Wayne! One more time, it's a flick, not a jab!'
'I am flicking Ernie, I'm not that dense.'
'If that is a flick then I am the long lost son of a mermaid and a centaur,' Ernie said in a deadpan.
'Really? Can you take a message to your underwater cousins for me next time you visit?'
'If you're going to be a prat about it Hopkins I won't bother helping you.'
'Oh come on Ern, you know I need the help,' Wayne pleaded, 'I'm useless at spells, and potions, and essays. We know I'm useless at pretty much everything.'
Ernie looked at him and sighed, 'You're not useless Wayne, it might take you a little longer to get a hang of things but that doesn't mean you're useless.'
The down-trodden boy gave a short laugh, 'You can say that. Doesn't make it true. Name one thing I'm good at.'
'Bloody hell Hopkins, you're good at heaps of things.'
'Name one then if they're so plentiful.'
'I can name more than one, you prat,' Ernie said, 'first, you're the only one that can get Eloise to smile and actually talk to us, second, you're always so bloody enthusiastic at Quidditch matches, you get the whole house fired up and third, I've seen you drawing and you're really good. You and Thomas should start a club and hang your stuff around the school.'
Wayne gave a small smile, 'Thanks Ern, you're a pretty good tutor, you go and study yourself, I'll sort this out.'
'Nah, don't worry about it Wayne. Just watch what I do, it's a small flick, like this.'
I think we know the drill now, review if you liked it!
