[ sometimes people in hogwarts are really stubborn. sometimes people in hogwarts are really stupid. sometimes you have people like leo, people who spend their time playing music for mandrakes because "music helps plants grow, y'know," despite the fact half the time the music is drowned out because mandrakes friggin' scream like crazy and you're wearing earmuffs how do you even know the music's playing but who cares.
honestly, the most surprising part of leo is maybe the fact he's muggle-born. for all his eccentricities, you'd think he was in a world full of wailing plants and "it's leviosa, actually" his whole life.
behold, the "Leo's Weird Act" of the day: still wearing the quidditch uniform (as it's right after one of those rare times where he's actually attended practice. the only thing rarer than that is when he actually attends games), he hangs upside down on a broomstick in the gryffindor common room, waving his wand idly as an unnamed tune plays from it.
( as a side note, it's a miracle he can still even attend practice. honestly, maybe chiaki's just too nice to kick him off the team officially. )
why some might ask. well, no, gryffindors are definitely used to this by now, and it's not like there's anyone around to ask anyway. just leo here, except when tsukasa walks in. at least he's greeted warmly by this this orange-haired bat? yeah, here we go, the enthusiastic: ]
Hey, it's you!
[ with an upside down wave
WELCOME HOME it's probably better to just leave now ]
additional question: why does he have to be a gryffindor.
surely Leo is bizarre enough that he could fit into some hufflepuff-shaped crevice? at the very least then tsukasa wouldn't have to see him so often? those are the types of questions that tsukasa has as he walks in, because long gone are the days that he would actually question why in a school of witchcraft and wizardry did leo still manage to be the weirdest person he'd see all day
oh god he's tired
but more than that, he's irritated-]
Did you forget my name again...?!
[WHY DOES THAT STILL BOTHER HIM SO MUCH
(because he wants to be noticed, senpai)]
If you're going to acknowledge my presence, at least do so correctly!
[ ... ah, well, judging from the way his lips press together and the notes pouring from his spell stop, suddenly, as his wand pauses in the air... it's pretty obvious what the answer to that question is.
not that tsukasa is particularly forgettable, it's just. what was the point? leo knew he was a gryffindor, knew the essence of who he was, kind of, and besides that what did the name really mean. like nonverbal spells, yeah? totally easier than verbal spells, and in the end totally the same.
still. he squints... before he makes a somewhat annoyed sound, stretching out slightly as he continues to hang. upside down. on his broomstick. (why) ]
Ahh, who knows?! Maybe it was there before... Hey, did I ever tell you? Mori seems nice, but you really gotta watch out for him! Those Bludgers he hit probably knocked it right out of me! Your name, I mean.
[ so yeah he fucking forgot but it's not like he seems particularly shamed about that
in fact his look of frustration and trying quickly melts away into something resembling amusement, a smile on his face as he admits his obvious shortcoming that. he doesn't consider a shortcoming at all. ]
Anyway, I don't really need that to acknowledge you correctly... It's not like I don't know who you are. ☆
[ yeah
that's not how it works
but to leo it is so good luck with all of this tsukasa ]
There's a flash of irritation and - it's not like Tsukasa doesn't understand the idea of it. You can definitely get to know a person and recognize their face and their attributes and all those things without knowing their name. Or even forgetting their name. That's fine. That's normal.
Leo? Leo is not normal and therefore he cannot partake in normal activities like forgetting someone's name once or twice.
This is not a Once or Twice kind of matter.
This is the irritation that's building in Tsukasa again and - everyone tells him that he needs to relax, chill, have fun, they're at Hogwarts of all places but don't they get that it's a place of learning and it's all means to an end?
(Okay, so maybe he understands now why the Sorting Hat almost put him in Slytherin.)]
It's Tsukasa. Suou Tsukasa. Don't forget again or I'll just stop telling you...!
[though that might end up irritating tsukasa more than leo
Woah, what? Even if I ask? That's really cruel, Suokasa... [ NO ] I told you, I got a Bludger to the head! Take it easy! ♪
[ says leo, all nice and chipper and full of bullshit, in a way that implies he very much thinks tsukasa will indeed keep telling him. he's the type that likes to be remembered, yes, leo knows that. he's got the essence of his character down..... kind of. and really, he's a bit similar in that regard.
( really, mostly it's because he figures tsukasa'll have an aneurysm if leo just constantly says "hey you", which'll be their only option if he doesn't tell him his name. )
anyway, leo-on-a-broomstick is drifting a little bit closer to mr. say-my-name-say-my-name, shifting so he's finally sitting upwards.
the danger of coming closer to someone you're actively annoying is absolutely lost to him. this is a precious underclassman, okay? ]
Plus, if you don't tell me, how am I gonna welcome you home properly, huh? That's a double loss, for you and me!
[ it'd be a sweet gesture if this wasn't all solved by leo just properly remembering his name but yeah
