Finally, I'm going to get to go to Diagon Alley. It's just a matter of hours.
I could offer an estimation of how many hours it is until this happens, but the majority of that estimation depends upon when my uncle actually decides to wake up.
Personally, I don't think I'll be sleeping at all. I've heard so many fascinating things about the place, so I'm thrilled to actually be able to visit.
The concept that such a place could have existed under my nose for all these years is astounding, but it makes sense, considering it's a wizard place and I didn't know a thing about it until I got my letter.
I'm to get my wand too, and this is this most significant thing that's on the agenda, because seriously?
Clothes shopping is boring, and as much as I enjoy books, I've gone book shopping before.
Never have I bought a cauldron, but that is beside the point.
I've been reading about them too, how the properties of each wand are significant and unique.
It makes me even more anxious to find out what my wand will be like, considering the wood and core are supposed to be telling about the type of person I am.
Or something along the lines of that.
There's supposed to be other things going on too, but I don't really know details on it. The whole wand thing definitely out-shadows it.
Who is going to Diagon Alley soon anyway? Maybe we'll see each other.
If you don't know what I look like, I'll probably be the kid with Dave.

[As soon as possible, he regains control over his emotions and sets his mouth in a stubborn line.]

Wow, rude, you think Dirk and I couldn't take any baddies who came crawlin' through our window trying to snatch our people up?

_{[He holds Roxy close because wow, does he hate it when she's scared.]}


We could totally take then...

[bev_rage]

[She's not shaking. Absolutely, totally not shaking, nope.]

Me too.

[givesyouaboner]

Yeah, exactly. _{[Does petting her hair help? Because that's what he's doing now to try to soothe her.]}

[Yeah, Dave... You're not fooling him at all. But because they aren't alone and to preserve Dave's dignity, he... Won't push it. But he does try and shoot Dave a real, genuine look of apology before attempting to put on his own pokerface. It's hard, but he at least manages a slightly passive expression.]

Well then next time, I'll leave the burglar catching to all of you.

[He opens his mouth to ask who the hell screamed, but... Decides against that. He has an idea.]

So what did attack?

[givesyouaboner]

_{[Dirk isn't a baby. He's not a chicken. He's not going to admit they screamed over pillows. Or at least, that's what he screamed over.]}

I think there might've been a ghost in here.
