Chapter 29

"Speaking of potions." Naboo begins.

"No, I won't refill your potions cupboard. Learn to make them yourself." Saboo interrupts.

"I don't want any potions. Well, I do, but that's not what I want to talk to you about now. We'll discuss that later."

"What do you want to talk to me about now?"

"You took a some courses after you finished school, didn't you?"

"Yes. Languages and spells and potions. Why?"

"Can you teach?"

"Languages and spells and potions? Yes, why?"

"Vince starts school soon, in about a month and a half, but I want him to learn some extra stuff. I was wondering whether or not you would be willing to teach him languages, spells and potions. What do you say?"

"Yes!" Saboo shouts, suddenly childlike. He notices Dennis looking at him, and regains his composure. "Yes, Naboo, I would be delighted."

"Brilliant!" Naboo smiles at him.

"Why was I needed here, Naboo?"

"I was wondering whether you were also willing and qualified to teach Vince?"

"I am both willing and qualified."

"Qualified in what, if you don't mind me asking?"

"Music."

"You're qualified to teach music? You?"

"And subjects that are linked."

"Wow." Saboo says, almost speechless.

"Thank you Dennis. I'll be in touch with both of you about dates and times. We'd better be getting back. Goodbye, Dennis, Saboo."

"Goodbye."

"Goodbye, Naboo."

"Bye." Vince says with a small smile.

"Goodbye, Vince."

"Bye, Vince. See you soon." Saboo says, smiling back.

"You're qualified to teach music?" Naboo hears him ask as they walk away.
