You know what you must do.

[greatestgood]

[He chuckles and winks.] It is a gift.

[chambermusicandtenpins]

One of your many charming skills.

[greatestgood]

I had to develop them to keep up with you.

[chambermusicandtenpins]

In that case, you've succeeded wildly.

[greatestgood]

I am an exemplary student.

[chambermusicandtenpins]

You are when it comes to subjects you find interesting.

[greatestgood]

The other ones don't matter. [To him anyway.]

[chambermusicandtenpins]

As a teacher, you wound me by saying that.

[greatestgood]

If you teach the subject, it will matter to me.

[chambermusicandtenpins]

I'll have to teach you quite a lot, then.

[greatestgood]

You act as if I am a lost cause!

[chambermusicandtenpins]

I only wish to make sure you know everything you need.

[greatestgood]

I did almost complete my schooling, Professor.

[chambermusicandtenpins]

Almost.

[greatestgood]

I was more than ready to graduate!

[chambermusicandtenpins]

Except for the part where you were expelled a year early.

[greatestgood]

I didn't need another year. I was so far beyond the rest...

[chambermusicandtenpins]

I won't deny you are and were very smart.

[greatestgood]

Then what did I miss out on within the hallowed halls of Durmstrang?

[chambermusicandtenpins]

[Teasing:] Humility, most likely.

[greatestgood]

You won't find that there! Goodness, the opposite is true unless you are an abysmal student.

[chambermusicandtenpins]

Ah, then perhaps it was restraint, then.

[greatestgood]

You might have a point there, but I can learn restraint from you, can I not?

[chambermusicandtenpins]

Mm, perhaps, but you have a tendency to erase even my own restraint at times.

[greatestgood]

Then clearly you don't need it in those moments. [He certainly doesn't mind Albus losing his restraint.]
