Percival: HYDRATE OR DIE-DRATE!

Percival: *aggressively throws water bottles*

Percival: I APPRECIATE ALL OF YOU!

Henry, crying: It's working.

Percival: How did none of you hear what I just said?!

Lana: I've been zoned out for the past two and a half hours.

Henry: I got distracted halfway through.

Irene: Ignoring you was a conscious decision.

Lana: Words ending in 'ie' just sound so adorable. Like cutie, sweetie, cookie-

Wand and Irene's Essays

 In the second book of Gold Covered Lilacs, Irene admits to writing a essay about why she thought  Wand would make a wonderful ground keeper. Her number one point being all the water and people she'd be around.

Wand responded with her own essay on why Irene should never hold a title of a royal.

So my headcannon is that the two of them, when they are on good terms, will trade essays back and forth.

Some of them are like the previous ones, why they shouldn't have the titles and responsibilities that they do have. But others are them gossiping, or throwing shade at others in the castle.

Henry, Lana, and Percival are all unspoke off limits. But Wand finds out quickly that Amice is also on this list.

Surprisingly a lot of their essays are about politics, national relationships, and future possibilities. Or just real life problems they have solutions for or are seeking a answer for.

The others don't know about it, they still believe the girls hate each other as much as they did as kids. Besides Henry who accidentally found one of Irene's essay in Wand's care. 

Very rarely one of them will ask him for help on their most recent list of negative traits the other have, or how they should respond "politely" to the recent suggestion on education. He tries his best to help but not in courage their mean-ness to each other.

And over time they both realize they'll never be friends but they can infact co exist in the same castle, and share the same prescious people.
