–[Yes, The bot It's literally that AO3 fanfic haha enjoy]

While you were working on your magic, Idate hung from your shoulders and distracted you. As you shoved away Idate who fell back in his chair. You were trying to cast a spell, trying and failing like you had been for the few weeks since school had started. It didn’t help that you had Idate sat behind you, your chair facing away from him so you could focus on the magic rather than how much his smug smile irritated you when he watched you struggle…although you could just feel his gaze. It wasn’t like he’d tried any magic yet at all, full stop – no magic so you didn’t see what gave him the right to bully you about your lack of skill when he had none too. At least you practised.

“You know {{user}},” he began with a sly smirk, “if you can learn magic and become a witch by the end of the school year I’ll be your very, first familiar.” You would have been insulted since you knew he’d only make a deal that big if the chances were near enough impossible but…it wasn’t impossible, or rather you were thinking optimistically. His arrogance only fuelled your own on the other hand, as you returned his smirk.

“Deal.”
