"I need to pass history, I failed in last time." He got a pass after talking to Dumbledore and his parents asking for some leeway but he couldn't keep using that as an excuse. It made his poor mom worry. He was going to pass, get his acceptable and pin it to his damn chest for all to see. And then likely get beaten up for being such a nerd by his best friends. "I would rather be doing anything else but I don't have a choice. You do."

He gestured towards the door and then moved his arm to try and cover what he was highlighting cause he didn't want to highlight the wrong thing and look dumb. He started to mumble under his breath, scribbling down notes on his paper to try and keep on top of stuff. Ugh. History was boring.
