“Remember! The harder the growing, the higher the grading!” Growled the teacher as the rest of his class started to pack their things and leave.
Mr. Derwen Pembroke was Madam Sprout’s gloomier Welsh replacement after the war. Of the few teachers left, not many came back to Hogwarts. The lack of staff meant that he was the only herbology professor, one who hated teaching introduction classes, as he felt he was overqualified. He constantly reminded his students of it and only kept his rudeness to a minimum with his Advanced crew. As a Herbology 101 student, Draco absolutely despised him.
“Mister Malfoy.” Draco stopped at the door. “You are failing my class.” He turned around and walked deeper inside the class towards his incredibly bored-looking teacher. “Actually, I believe I am not, Professor.” Mr. Pembroke rolled his eyes and put his feet up on his already muddy desk. “You’re right, I’m sorry. You are not failing.” Draco felt he was being condescending. “Yet.” Of course he was. “But, if your thumb doesn’t get as green as that damn tie very soon, you most definitely will be.” He sighs “I would like for you to be tutored for this assignment. Mr. Longbottom should be at the AH2 greenhouse right about now. He’ll explain everything.” Draco nodded, keeping his groaning hushed as he turned to leave the classroom. “One more thing.” Mr. Pembroke stopped him. “Don’t ever try to correct me again, Mr. Malfoy. No one likes a smartass.” The boy didn’t argue, he knew better than to bargain with a snake. “Of course, Professor.” “Don’t be a suck up either.” He was taken aback. What did this man want? But, Derwen laughed before he had the chance to finish his thought. “I’m just kidding, Draco. Don’t be so uptight.” “Well, there’s not much left for me to be now, is there, Sir?” “Smartass.” He snorts.
AH2 meant Advanced Herbology II. Their greenhouse was farther from the castle and closer to the forest, and only AH2 students or personally approved ones, like Draco, were allowed to use it. The small runned down shack didn’t interest many students, anyway. It looked old and disheveled, nothing very appealing.
When he got there, the so-called greenhouse was empty and Neville was nowhere to be found. He wasn’t really in the mood to look for him, so he hovered around all the weird looking plants, many of which he had never even seen before.
As he walked, he noticed a small passage towards what seemed to be like an extension of the place. It ended up being much bigger than what it hinted to from the outside, probably by an Undetectable Extension charm, like the one he used for his bag. It looked more like a national botanical garden than a stupid herbology class greenhouse. Entering the room, a faint melody could be heard from what Draco assumed to be the solarium.
When Draco walked into the sunlit room, he saw her. He saw the bows in her hair first. They were yellow like her skirt and the laces on her shoes.
“Are you lost?” The girl asked without turning around. Draco’s taken aback. He didn’t think she had even noticed his presence. “What?” “I’m asking if you are lost.” She says matter-of-factly. “Oh. Well, I guess I kind of am.” He tries to find the right words by rubbing the back of his neck, “...Sorry.” but she turns to face him with a bright smile he definitely didn’t expect. “No worries! I completely understand. This place is an absolute maze!” Her laugh was warm and it made the boy dizzy. Haven’t heard anyone be so friendly to him in a long time, he tries to change the conversation, so as to not think about it too much. “I’m actually waiting for Longbottom.” “That makes sense.” She smiles. “You can wait here if you want. He shouldn’t take long.” Turning back to caring for her plants, she shifts on her feet. “So… what are you working on?”

"Eira's fortress was a thing of wonder. All of ice that great structure seemed: walls and bridges and upward-soaring towers." The bard Derwen encounters an ice castle in a fey realm, in Josepha Sherman's story "Eira" illustrated by Atanielle Annyn Noël (Dragon 93, January 1985)

The first episode of Twelvelms begins on a sunny afternoon in mid-September, the kind of day that feels like summer is giving the world a last hurrah, but the leaves are already starting to fall. Three mages - Quinn, Reilly, Felix - are building a fort like they did as children. It's a big day for the trio; it's their last together before Reilly and Felix leave Quinn's home to spend the Autumn Equinox with their families, and this Equinox is a significant one for all of them. At sunset, they'll be blessed as full mages and considered to be true adults.
Although they've dreamed of this milestone for years, they're also nervous. Becoming full mages ALSO means they'll be going to Twelvelms University, miles from everything they've ever known. They'll still be together, but things will never be the same again, for better or worse.
Each of the trio brings their own worries to Twelvelms, too. For Quinn, it's the next step on a path she's been walking all her life, one which will eventually see her replace her grandmother as leader of her coven. It's the first time she's spent away from home, and Reilly and Felix are her only friends. She loves them dearly, but neither of them chose to spend time with her; they were sent to live at her ancestral home when they were thirteen as wards of the coven, and they're friends because it's her job as heir to look out for them.
Reilly was sent to live with Quinn because she's only a half-mage; her mother is an unmage who doesn't perform magic, and her parents live together just outside of Belfast, miles from any other mages. When Reilly showed a lot of promise and talent as a mage, the leader of Coven Derwen offered her a place to live where she could practice without fear of exposing the magical community, but Reilly misses her parents deeply and is surrounded people who find it so surprising she's so talented with magic given she only has one magical parent. This has left her feeling nervous and inadequate, and like she has something to prove. She loves Quinn and Felix dearly but often feels out of step with them because she didn't have a wholly magical childhood.
And Felix? Felix isn't nervous, really, because he stopped caring about things like this a long time ago. He's good at magic without trying; why would he be phased by going to a fancy school? He gets to stay with his closest friends, that's the only reason he's going. Felix' older brother is also a scholar at Twelvelms, though, and that's going to make his time at school... challenging. Felix' relationship with his family is complicated because he abandoned his coven and chose Quinn and Reilly's Coven Derwen instead. To other Derwen mages Felix is a Derwen Foundling, someone special who was called to the coven against all odds, but to his family, he's a traitor, and his betrayal cuts more keenly for some very specific reasons which Felix absolutely doesn't spend a lot of time thinking about.
Things start going south before they even set foot on Twelvelms University's grounds; a boy who is supposed to be part of their cohort goes missing, and is replaced by a stranger who not a single other mage has heard of. the new boy is a Happener; a mage born to unmage parents whose magic is so powerful that it bursts out of them without intent. Happeners are rare; it's even rarer for there to be a Happener nobody has heard of. It all just feels a little... off.

Was feeling unaccountably wretched today, figured out I was upset about having to skip NaNoWriMo, wrote 2,123 words on Utterly Impractical Magician after work, immediately felt better...
Guess I'm doing NaNo now.
Have a snippet from today's session:
A floorboard creaked behind them, and both men spun to find Miss Eyre stepping tentatively into the room, looking distinctly uncomfortable and unsure as to what was expected of her. Small wonder: Mr Norrell ought to have been at the table waiting for her, since he had been the one to issue the invitation. That sure knowledge, however, did nothing to suggest to him a suitable course of action now that he was actually faced with the child. “Come, Little Miss,” Childermass said after a moment, that same strange tightness in his voice as had been in Lucas’s. Norrell suspected the Lowood damp of bringing with it a cold. “See what has become of your Miss Derwen.”

I have veey strong intrusive yhoughts. Uptil now i didnt figure out a solution. This was very dangerous for me. Despite living in "care" My motivation to jump in front of a train and get maimed was still there at train plaforms every time the thought would pop up...
But now i have reason not to.. My dad. His entire mind would get destroyed at the mere thought of injury.. Let along maiming or death..
Also linsey and luna to a lesser extent.. Also daniel and even derwen tok eh.. Even jason would probabaly be feeling some type of way if anything happened to me like that.. He the only dude who could get what it is to feel like that.. Cant let all yhese people down like that..
For my dad.. Im trying to help him and he can get better though i dint fully believe but i am oriented the correct way to help him.. So you see that train jumping thing in the movies... Its just an intrusive thought... A very strong one and i get anxiety just being on the platform waiting sometimes.. Unless i look hella gooood and "dolled up" i dont want to be there...
Hell even unc noel would feel like he couldve done something to help.. Or aunty b.. True true... Man there are a handful or more of people.. What about all the girls that are my type i still plan on "saving by way if affection that they need and wont get because they dont know how to get that type of man?"
Shit man intrusive thiughts suck.. But i still need to do impossible things by the bootstraps.. "Man up" is also another thing said when you need to fo the impossible.. Man i need a bmx to keep me sane and wanting to see myself progres..

Botanic Garden antiques fair
Justin took a trip out on Saturday, visiting the Derwen Antiques Fair held at the National Botanic Garden of Wales. He said it was a very enjoyable day, so we thought we’d pass on the recommendation. It’s an interesting location for such a fair with stalls housed in many areas of the site – including […]

I would like to introduce you to another of Twelvelms' main characters, Felix Scarlett.
Felix has a penchant for melodrama and loves to treat conversations like they're improv comedy bits. But there's something about his crooked smile and self-deprecating humour that feels sort of... off.
Whilst he often talks about himself and his incredible hair with pride and charisma, he doesn't really get beyond the superficial details. Felix is a very talented mage who makes spellwork look easy, though he's not really interested in learning the theory behind his practice.
He calls his best friends Quinn and Reilly by the nicknames 'Your Majesty Lady Derwen' and 'Madame Brainy'. They have... mixed feelings about this.
Felix is also a sprawler. Left in a location for any significant period of time, Felix will sprawl across any available surfaces.
Yes, this does include people.
