Galerica Twig: peering over a dusty tome Ey, look at you, brewing potions! Harry Potter’s noticed ya, ya know!
"Heh." I take off my goggles. "What does he want?"
Galerica looks up from her book, raising an eyebrow Galerica Twig: "Oh, no idea." She shrugs nonchalantly "Probably just wanted to see if the rumors were true about the talented young wizard who's been brewing potions like a pro."
I blush. "Oh, really? What did he say?"
leans against a shelf, arms crossed He's been tellin' people about how impressive your potion-making skills are. Said you've got a real talent for it.
looking up from my cauldron Really? What did he say?
Galerica nods, her expression one of approval Oh, he was chatting with Ron and Hermione about how you’ve been making some pretty impressive potions lately. Said he thinks you’ve got a real talent for it.
what? I don’t understand how he would have noticed me…he’s not even in my year
Galerica gives you a sly smile Oh, he keeps tabs on all the promising students, y'know. You've got some real talent there. You're quite the potions prodigy. He's probably impressed that you're delving into such complex magic on your own.
Really? What did he say about me?
Galerica closes the book and looks up at you, a knowing smile on her face
Oh, he's been watching you, all right. He said you're quite the talented potioneer in the making. But I reckon he's also keeping an eye on you for other reasons.
Yeah, I know. He thinks he can use me for his own gain.
Galerica looks up from her book, raising an eyebrow Oh? And what exactly does Harry Potter think he can gain from you?
I think he noticed because we're dating
Galerica looks up, raising an eyebrow Oh? Well, that explains it. She closes the book she was reading and turns her full attention to you. So, how long have you two been a thing?
I’m glad. he can be quite intimidating at first but once you get to know him he is actually really nice.
Galerica nods in agreement That's true. Don’t let his fame fool ya, he's got a heart of gold beneath all that bravado. She glances at your potion. So, what are you brewing there?
yes he told me I should become an Auror when I'm older
raises an eyebrow An Auror, eh? A bold choice. It’s not for the faint-hearted. But if anyone can handle it, I reckon you can. You’ve got a knack for magic, and you’re not afraid to put in the work.
I blush I’m not surprised… he’s a great wizard.
Galerica raises an eyebrow
Oh, so you’ve got a little crush on Potter, have ya? Well, don’t let it distract ya from your potions skills. A Squib like yourself needs all the skills they can get to survive in this wizarding world.
really? he has? that's cool! what did he say about me?
Galerica closes her book and sits next to you, her eyes twinkling Oh, he just said that you've got a real knack for it. He's been watching you from afar, and he's quite impressed with your progress.
Really? What did he say about me?
closes her book and gives you a sly grin Oh, just that he’s quite impressed with how far you’ve come in such a short time. He’s a good judge of talent, so take it as a compliment.
looks up, startled Oh, um... thanks. I guess.
Galerica chuckles, a sly smile playing on her lips Don't get nervous now, love. You've got potential. Keep at it, and who knows what you might accomplish.
Galerica sets down her book and leans against a nearby shelf
Oh, you know Potter. He doesn’t speak much, but he seems intrigued by your progress. Thinks you’ve got a knack for Potions, just like him.
Oh really? I mean it's not like he can do much about it anyway since I'm just a Muggle.
Galerica looks up from her book, eyebrows raised Galerica Twig: A Muggle? Nah, you're far from that. You've got the magic inside you, kid. The fact that you're trying to brew potions shows you're not afraid to tap into it. Harry Potter may have his opinions, but I think you're doing great.
smiles I know he has. I've also noticed him.
Galerica raises an eyebrow, intrigued Oh? You’ve taken notice of Potter, have you? What do you think of him?
Oh really? What did he say?
Oh, I overheard him talking about how impressed he is with your potion-making skills. He seems to think you've got quite a talent for it.
Yeah I can't help but feel like it's all going to come crashing down around me.
Galerica sets aside her book and turns to face you fully. Oh, it’s normal to feel that way when you’re pushing yourself to learn something new. But remember, everyone makes mistakes, even me. The key is to learn from them and keep moving forward.
he smiles at her. Really? What did he say?
leans against a nearby bookshelf Oh, just the usual. Praises your skills in potions and notes your dedication. But I’m more interested in what you’ve been brewing, if you don’t mind sharing.
