"Good morning," Rita said, barely glancing up. "Today is a free study period. Your midterm is the Tuesday after next. I suggest you use this hour to go over your notes and ask any questions you may have."

John chirps again and flutters his wings at her. He wants to either have big wings again or he wants to be a real boy.

He hopes Professor Skeeter understands.

"Oh, are your wings bothering you?" Rita asked. So she waved her wand and John was wingless.

Now, John just looks like a fruitcake. He peers up at Professor Skeeter and quirks a Puffin brow.

"OH MY GOD HE'S LIKE ME!" Rory said, looking around for John's wings.

John hopes Rory's successful in finding his wings because a bird without wings is just kinda...dumb. He's just snail only with feathers and no slimey substances and no shell.

Rory found no wings. Woe.

"Woe," she said.

John says 'woe.' But it comes out as a damn chirp.

Damn bird!

Well, John still has feet so he proceeds to scratch at all the papers on Professor Skeeter's desk, putting hole and tears in them.

Rita rolled her eyes. "All right, not so cute anymore."

She waved her wand and changed him back.

John kneeling on top of Professor Skeeter's desk.

When he realizes he's him again, he smiles at Professor Skeeter. "You totally thought I was cute."

"You were! You were some kind of wee sleepy birdie!" Rory said.

"Did you get pictures?" John asks, hopping off the desk.

Re: Studying/Questions/Happy annoying Rita time

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Yup. I didn't send them to Aeryn, yet, though," she said brightly. "Happy for you, by the way."

Re: Studying/Questions/Happy annoying Rita time

John's face falls. "Yeah, right. Happy. Right. Thanks."

Re: Studying/Questions/Happy annoying Rita time

Rory raised an eyebrow.

"What, I thought the coming back thing was good?"

Re: Studying/Questions/Happy annoying Rita time

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"It is," John says and shrugs. "The reunion...left a lot to be desired. I dunno. Something's wrong."

Re: Studying/Questions/Happy annoying Rita time

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory nodded. "I owe you for talking to me the other night, so if you need anything...." She shrugged.

Re: Studying/Questions/Happy annoying Rita time

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"Thanks," he says. "We...I don't even know if we're speaking right now. She left mad this morning. So...yeah."

Re: Studying/Questions/Happy annoying Rita time

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Eep," Rory said, wincing.

Re: Studying/Questions/Happy annoying Rita time

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"Yeah," John agrees. "She was going to see if she could stay. If she's staying, I guess she'll be in the dorms. Just...not my room."

Re: Studying/Questions/Happy annoying Rita time

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"It's good she's back, though. I mean, you guys'll work it out. It's...it's you guys," Rory shrugged.

Re: Studying/Questions/Happy annoying Rita time

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"I hope so," John mumbles before shaking his head. "Sorry to mope."

Re: Studying/Questions/Happy annoying Rita time

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"You? Are so very allowed," Rory said seriously. "And I'm sorry if I seem, like, callous or anything for being so upbeat. I'm just...if she came back, maybe...other people...will too, you know? And also I missed her."

Rory glanced over at Rita, who, by all appearances, was reading her paper again.

Re: Studying/Questions/Happy annoying Rita time

"Hey," John says, "don't get me wrong, I'm really, really damned happy that she's back. Really. I love her and I missed her and she's alive. And if she can come back, anyone can. I missed her too. Thank you," he says to Rory.
