She laughed, scrunching her face up as he probed it with his fingers. "I don't even notice that much about myself. That's incredible, Nic."

"So, I don't really need color. Personally, with all of these things I can notice, I think I've got a better deal than you guys who can see. For example, I can know who you've been around all day. You have one of Elizabeth's hairs on your sweater. They're thicker than yours, and curlier. And you have the slightest whiff of Giovanni's morning smell on you. His favorite coffee. And... you were holding his hanky, I assume? I know because that thing smells like his pockets."

"There's other things I'd rather do." He lifted his hands from her face, shrugging. "That's how I identify everyone. If they let me grab their faces, that is."

Tessa tucked a strand of hair back behind her ear, cheeks a little warm. "Yeah, that bit could be a bit of a problem. So, what do you actually want to do once you leave Hogwarts?"

"I'm thinking I want to work in the Department of Mysteries. Apparently, they admit a lot of blind and deaf workers... and I think that it's because they can work more efficiently with the things that the Department has to research and offer, due to perceiving things in a different way."

"That's a pretty intense job," she commented, mildly impressed. "I'm still not certain what I want to do yet. I mean, I don't even know if I;m going to make it that far yet, so I've stopped thinking about it." Tessa laughed nervously, reaching up to pass her hand over her lips.

"Might as well make plans in case you do, right?" He gave her a small smile.

"I've been thinking maybe I could go into medicine," she said delicately, appreciative of his subtle optimism. He seemed to know how to phrase everything correctly, and it was something she loved him for in that moment.

"Tumours, perhaps," she joked. "Nah, it'd be quite nice to be a paramedic. Well, not nice exactly, but I think it'd suit me."

"I think you'd do well as a paramedic, yeah. If you're into that kind of thing."

"It's still just an idea," Tessa shrugged. "Although I don't really fancy a Ministry job. All that secrecy and importance..." she laughed. "Anyway, it's not too important now."

"You've got a while to figure that out. So, I was wondering... what was this you were saying about Elizabeth being a psycholunatic?"

She winced, wishing she could take it back. "I- I was exaggerating slightly. Well, I don't know, maybe I wasn't. But Lizzie was the one who put the Veritaserum in Giovanni's drink... And we think she may have cursed Bianca too."

Nicolas's eyes darkened, but he didn't look surprised in the least. "What kind of curse?"

"It's one of the Unforgivable ones," she mumbled, glancing down at her hands. "I don't want to believe it, but Giovanni has all the evidence."

He sighed. "Well. I always mildly suspected about the Veratiserum and Dark Arts, but an Unforgivable Curse... at this age? Surprising."
