Please let us not be walking in circles, for the love of Merlin, he thought to himself.
"I'm an auror but the entire team think I'm incompetent, the weak link." It was possible that he was just insecure and projecting onto others, but he wasn't convinced. "I thought I could prove them wrong if I helped solve this fog business but I didn't anticipate being in a group with Mr. Umbridge. I can't afford to screw up." If he wasn't immediately dismissed on his first day back, perhaps he ought to resign instead. He didn't like to quit but maybe being an auror wasn't for him, even if it had been for Lou. Maybe he should just admit defeat, he'd never be his brother because his propensity for fucking up was just too great. "You play quidditch, don't you?" He'd quite fancied the idea of playing for the house team but then he had chosen to focus on pulling up his grades instead so he could get into the auror training program.
