 I got a letter from the school! I'm going to be a prefect this year!

This is so exciting! I'm a little nervous, but mostly I'm flattered. I mean, I guess it's pretty good to be considered prefect material, right?

I think Mother's proud, honestly. That feels pretty good, too.

maybe that means i should rethink a couple of my plans then i will do my best to keep you busy

i bet it is i can wat for quidditch try outs i think hitting things with a stick is about all the responsibility i can handle

[hairflyingheartpounding]

Oh, boy. Be careful, Maxim, you really shouldn't try to get in trouble.

Best of luck with that! Maybe I'll come watch the try-outs to cheer you on.

but its more fun that way! besides i do try to be sneaky about it but unfortunately suttle isnt a word in the jaeger dictionary

i would like that very much :)

It would be best if you didn't do bad things at all, sneaky or not. I don't want you to get expelled or hurt.

Then I'll be there.

oh i hope nothing i have planned is bad enough to get me expelled contrary to opinion i do try to avoid that at least getting hurt isnt so bad though

hooray \o/

[hairflyingheartpounding]

Getting hurt is kind of bad by definition, don't you think?

[moveslikejaeger]

no it heals and theres a lot of old sayings about pain and suffering making you stronger and also how can you know joy if you do not also sadness

[hairflyingheartpounding]

I think those sayings are true, I guess, but there's pain you can avoid and pain you can't.

[moveslikejaeger]

but what do you do when faced with pain you cant avoid? to never experience pain is to never truly know it its like being kept inside your whole life only hearing stories of the outside world i do not want to spend my whole life trusting what others say to be true i want to know and experience for myself

[hairflyingheartpounding]

...Wow, you feel really strongly about this, huh?

[moveslikejaeger]

just a little

theres just so much out there you know? i just like to do things i like to be there to feel my heart pounding and the blood rushing through my veins i like the wind in my hair and the sun on my face i like being wild and free
