“ Dinnae fash yersel’ lad, keep the heid.” he replied as he stopped to look over the student’s work. There was a lot of fallacies within the formula that Eden didn’t quite know where to begin. 
He smiled, determined. He waved his hand gently, as his chair rolled across the floor to him. He settled cozily into the chair and pulled the paper over to him.
“Let’s begin wit whit ye dae understand.” he said kindly. He began to draw a diagram onto the back of the parchment. 
“ Ye ken that alchemy is nothin’ moor than the breaking down oof matter and the reconstructin’ oof it?” he smiled and continued. “ Ye can make so much oot oof it but ye always need tae remember Alchemy’s rule. Whit ye destroy must be equal tae whit ye remade, the properties must be equal.”

His eyes had gone slightly wide, and honestly - he wasn’t the best at school, but he nodded his head along with the professor’s words, not entirely certain how he should go about explaining where he was having trouble. Starting from the beginning was his best possible bet, really.

“But-” A sigh escaped him as his nose scrunched up, before a half grunt fell from his lips. “How do I know if they’re equal or not? I mean- I’m not good at judging if it’s equal, I guess.”

It was true. She wanted to argue. Everyone knew that it was true, everyone knew that almost every bad wizard in history had come from one house and one house alone. And that was Slytherin. And just because he had a boner for Kai freaking Parker didn’t change that fact. “Do you really think it would have been that different if you were in Slytherin? You would have just been sitting over there with all of them talking about how we’re all rejects and Mudbloods and worthless.” She snapped back, sucking in a breath before she took a step away from him. “You might look down on us because we’re not…full of courage or cunning or intelligence, but some of us are actually proud of where we ended up.”

“Merlin was a Slytherin,” Jeremy said simply, eyebrows raising slightly as he looked at her, but then a moment later, a glare was settling on his face. “But maybe Hufflepuff isn’t quite so kind if there are judgemental people in it.” He didn’t say it - that he was talking about her, - but it was clear enough. “And frankly, are you completely blind to what happens to first year Slytherins when they’re sorted? Because I’ve noticed, these past few years. How they’re eleven, and they haven’t done shit to anyone in this school, but the other three houses boo them when they’re sorted. What kind of shit is that? Being a Slytherin doesn’t make you inherently evil. It’s how everyone treats you for being a Slytherin that makes you evil.”

——— ELENA sighed, used to his behavior towards her, even MORE so around this time of the year. she considered LEAVING him be but decided it would be better to just SPIT it out. ❝  jeremy… i… have you gotten any MAIL that wasn’t yours? i’ve been WAITING for an order but it hasn’t ARRIVED yet.  ❞ and once again, elena gilbert chickens out.

“Really? Mail is what’s so fucking important?” Jeremy’s lip curled slightly before he rolled his eyes, a scoff escaping his lips. “No. I haven’t gotten any mail for you. If I had, I would have given it to Caroline.” So Caroline could give it to Tim, who was in Gryffindor, and that was... as close to delivering it to her as he would get. The less headache for him the better, as far as he was concerned.

As Jeremy’s footsteps - and voice - got fainter as he headed downstairs, Elena’s focus on the paper she was writing faltered slightly. With trying to get her grades back up and fix things with Bonnie and Caroline, she hadn’t had a chance to apologize to Jeremy yet. And he was kind of the person she had screwed over the most. 
Fuck this, the paper can wait. I’m already half-way done - if I need to I can bullshit the last few paragraphs.
She stood up and began to head downstairs, hearing the rustle before she spotted Jeremy hunting for their ungodly huge stack of takeout menus. 
“If you don’t want takeout I can attempt to make something,” she blurted out before she could even process the words.

His hands stilled slightly as she spoke, his lips pressing together as his eyebrows furrowed. There was a long pause before slowly, he glanced up. “Can you even cook?” he questioned, because he wasn’t sure if she’d ever had reason to - and with his cooking abilities, it was anyone’s guess as to if she could. He was lucky he could pour himself a glass of soda without screwing it up.

“Not if you’d been born in ancient Greece. Their views on sexuality were far more open and accepting, and it was actually believed that sleeping with other men made you a superior warrior, making homosexuality the preferred orientation in times of battle,” she replied, shrugging lightly. “Does that mean you don’t believe in reincarnation?”

“I’m gonna be completely honest, I stopped listening halfway through that. Started to sound too much like a history class, and... I didn’t actually show up for those,” Jeremy snorted, rolling his eyes as he gave a small shake of his head. “No. You’re born, you die. That’s it. That’s all I care about.”
