@☀ Juan Luis /seeing as though I'd have to continually be dodging these compliments I just started off ignoring them with the roll of my eyes, instead avidly watching you perform the charm to make sure your movements were crisp and accurate enough to produce the birds. I have to admit your accent gave the spell a cute little twinge which was likely to misdirect it the first time, but the second time around birthed a few healthy looking songbirds.
There we go --
/lifts a finger to let one of the birds you summoned land upon it, my eyes scanning over the little thing as it preened its feathers and cleaned itself, the act made me smile before you snapped me out of it. I addressed you with a rather lackadaisical look, but you didn't seem to mind.
Yeah. Care for Magical Creatures and Charms. But I have NEWTs in all the core subjects. I'm assuming you're only here to what? Be in school so you could continue to play Quidditch?

@ϟ Isadora Ah, I see. Cute manicure.
/nodding as you showed me the correct movements, letting the compliment slip out of my mouth as I glanced at your fingers on top of mine, the contrast of your dainty and smooth hands against my rough and larger ones almost laughable/
I think that sounded like a compliment? Gracias, cariño.
/smirking at you as I knew my words would make you infuriated, before saying the spell once more, this time saying it and doing the correct actions/
'Ah-vis.'
There we go--
/watching as the birds flew out of my wand, glad that I didn't further embarrass myself by not being able to do the spell. Instead of focusing on the task we had at hand, I started conversing casually, wanting to get to know who was tutoring me further/
So, you're the top of our class huh? What's your focus?

@☀ Juan Luis You just say it, like Ah-vis. Ah-vis not A-vis and --
/perturbed now that the birds were flying around in a maddened manner, I snap my fingers and watch them fall against the desk in a flurry of feathers as they dissipate just as they appeared. Then I continue with a huff, blowing a strand of hair away from my face as my dainty little fingers slide over yours as I try to mime the movement for you.
Like this. Two humps like a seagull in the distance. That's the movement. And say it with conviction. Avis!
/and with a poof, out streamed a few more songbirds out from your wand, and for a moment there I broke into a genuine smile before clearing my throat and turning to you, waiting to watch you do it on your own.
How fitting you're good at charms. Anywho -- try it by yourself. Mistakes are forgiven.

@ϟ Isadora /I found your ignoring of my compliment funny but turned to the page that you pointed to from the textbook, squinting in concentration before attempting it/
I just--say it?
/murmuring the spell with a flick of my wand, wincing as no birds spewed out, but the three flying around our heads got aggravated and started flying all over the place/
Ah--lo siento. It's been awhile since I've tried any advanced spells. Especially transfiguration, my specialty was Charms. You'll have to forgive me if I accidentally conjure the wrong animals.
/smiling in a charming yet awkward grin as I scratched my head, my accent coming out more now since I was trying to focus on something else/

@☀ Juan Luis /instead of acknowledging your statement I rolled my eyes, used to this kind of borderline harassment from quidditch jocks my entire three years. Especially the last two considering how one could say I've "blossomed" during the summer session. To keep us on track I continue with an unimpressed sigh, the pages turning with the flick of my wrist before I tap my pointer finger down once they paused.
Alright. Conjuration. Harder than Quidditch so I'll see what I can do for you. We'll brush up on the last intermediate spell you should've learned, the bird conjuring charm. Simple but could go ghastly if performed wrong.
/readies my wand as the slightest British twang rolled off my tongue -- and just like that I murmur /avis/ while doing two half circles with my wand, and out spews three songbirds that chirp and fly around our heads. Then as the birds congregate around us, two on my shoulders and one on your head, I turn to you with a curt smile and state
Alright, now you try it.

@ϟ Isadora /letting out a snort at how defensive you instantly got, knowing that this would be interesting as I had a knack for pushing people's buttons and you seemed already bothered by me for some reason. I didn't bother sugarcoating my sentence, always one to be blunt/
Because you're hot.
Si, si. I can catch a Snitch in five minutes but Conjuration? Definitely not my thing. Well aren't I lucky--I get the best of the best.
/equally as sarcastic as you, I was amused to see that you weren't one to get bulldozed over, making me actually interested in what you were saying. I nodded as I took out my books and pulled out my wand, acknowledging the spell you did right before my eyes, blinking expectantly for your next instructions/
Impressive. And I believe it was intermediate. I stopped taking classes right before my OWLS, but got tutoring for a bit when I was working.

@☀ Juan Luis /as you're introducing yourself I pull out the textbook needed for this class, letting it slam down in front of you after you're done with your little spiel. Then as you begin to blabber on about my appearance -- cause its so odd to be smart /and/ attractive -- I prop my head up by my palm and blink until you were done, a mocking tone lacing my usual cordial sweetness.
Que? Different how? I won't be too much of a distraction now I hope. Anyways yes -- I've been instructed to help you out with Conjuration yes? A rather advanced form of Transfiguration so we'll see if you got what it takes. If not, there's no one better to teach you than I. So get out your book.
/taps my wand against the table to make my book appear, a classic example of Conjuration actually -- before turning to you
We're at NEWT level now, do you remember if you were at beginner or intermediate level?

@ϟ Isadora Ah si--Juan Luis Londoño Arias, but most people call me Maluma.
/the haughty tone catching me off guard as I was used to girls basically throwing themselves at me the instant they met me, and it was quite refreshing actually. It was easy to tell that you were donning a fake smile, and it got me wondering what already could you not like about me. Interesting./
You're my tutor, no? Not gonna lie, I was surprised when you showed--I was expecting someone...different.
/nodding in your direction as to give props to you, grabbing my books out of my bag and plopping them down on the table, letting out a deep sigh. My words were dry and unenthusiastic as I was never really a fan of school, well--the super academic side of it at least/
I guess we should get started? They said I need to catch up since I've been out of school for so long but I don't even know what they want me to catch up on.

@☀ Juan Luis /the downside of being on good standing with the professors is that they'll occasionally ask me for favors, and in this case it was one I wasn't too fond of fulfilling. Apparently a hotshot quidditch player, he was in need of a little extra tutoring to get caught up in class -- and I got tasked with it. So as I trudged towards the hulking, sinewy figure I donned a rather perturbed look on my face, though I slapped a fake smile over it as I extended a hand towards you once you stuttered over my name.
That I am. Isadora Belinda Faeritzima. Third year prefect for Strixtalon and Head Girl here at Filotimo. And you are?

@ϟ Isadora /popping my gum as i waited for the girl that I was told was going to tutor me to arrive, aimlessly tapping on the wooden table. I might have looked out of place in my leather jacket and jeans, but I wasn't in class and wasn't about to wear an uncomfortable button up for no reason. I looked around for someone who looked nerdy--I was told this chick was the top of her class, so when a curvy brunette made her way into the library and briskly walked in my direction, I was taken aback slightly/
Ah-hola, are you--Isadora?
