"Probably?" It was a guess as much as a statement. He probably would have been worse off if he'd tried to go it alone, but the potions professor probably wouldn't have let him carry that on for long. "I didn't get an O.W.L. for it or anything but that wasn't the tutor's fault." he finished with an amused shrug. Clearly it didn’t bother him one bit that he didn’t score well in that class.
Why had he brought this up? Why was he talking about his mediocre school grades with someone he hardly remembered, 5 years after graduating? Oh right it was because he'd been standing there looking shady and staring at his watch for longer than was strictly normal. Maybe it was Jack's Constable Instincts™. Or maybe it had more to do with the fact that he seemed parked a little too close to a family that had already seen enough trouble, one Jack wanted to see get a little peace.
He struggled to find some bit of small talk to latch on to; Some kind of reason to stay there until the man's excuse arrived. "And you?" solid start. Returning a question was polite right? But no, if he was a tutor grades were probably not an issue. Try again - "Do you still do potions stuff since leaving school?"
