I'm not very well acquainted with many of you just yet, so please bear with me. I hope we can all can a very enjoyable and relatively stress free year. Ah...I apologize, I'm no good with things like this. Please inform me if I have done something wrong and I will do my best to rectify my mistake. Thank you.

Thank you, I am glad you agree as well.

So long as you keep all the inappropriate junk out of the journals, you'll be fine. We don't need a repeat of what happened a few weeks ago: now that was a bloody mess.

[deutschykins]

Oh my...ah...I can assure you that I do not make my personal exploits public, I do enjoy my privacy quite a bit.

[di_intraining]

Good. Then we'll get along just fine. Are you new here? Or just never been one for the journals?

[deutschykins]

Will we? It would be nice to have someone to get along with. I am new, but I have talked to a few people already.

[di_intraining]

A first year then? God it's been ages since I've been one. It's good that you're making friends; it makes the school years easier.

I'm Greg Lestrade, 5th year Hufflepuff.

[deutschykins]

Oh, no quite the opposite. I am a seventh year, I suppose when I say "new" I mean...ah...how should I put this? I'm not one for socializing.

[di_intraining]

Oh, sorry about that.

So, new to the journals then. Right.

What's your handle?

[deutschykins]

My...what? Excuse me for this, but my native language is German and I'm unfamiliar with most slang terms.

[di_intraining]

Oh.

What's your name then? And house too, I guess.

[deutschykins]

Oh! I understand now, my name is Ludwig and I'm in Gryffindor. I also don't think I've expressed what a pleasure it is to meet you yet.

[di_intraining]

It's a pleasure to meet you too.

So you know the Jaeger brothers then? Are you from their town too? Mechanicsburg?

[deutschykins]

Mechanicsburg? Are you sure you don't mean Frankfurt? I don't exactly know the two you are speaking of, but if they come from a city that specializes in mechanics, it's most likely Frankfurt.

[di_intraining]

That's what they told me. Also mentioned something about the Heterodynes? Is that ringing a bell anywhere?

[deutschykins]

Heterodynes? As in radio signals? Ah...are you sure they're not just pulling your leg?

[di_intraining]

Pretty sure about it, unless-

Hang on, are you a muggleborn?

[deutschykins]

No, my father is a wizard and is--er...was my mother. I'm afraid Father isn't home most of the time, though...my older brother was practically the only one who raised me.

[di_intraining]

Yeah well, maybe you should ask them then, because it is your country and all. They were pretty proud of the castle there; doesn't seem like they'd be lying about it, the way they'd go on and on about the clocktower.

[deutschykins]

I think they're lying to you. There are beautiful castles located all over the country, but...I've never been to or even heard of a city called "Mechanicsburg." Oh well, I'm sure I will speak to them eventually.

[di_intraining]

You do that and let me know.

Which city are you from the Ludwig? Berlin?

[deutschykins]

Oh...is it that obvious? It's my accent, isn't it?

[di_intraining]

It was a lucky guess.

[deutschykins]

That's a bit more of a relief, then...I've been told that I have too much of a city accent.

[di_intraining]

I wouldn't know the difference between German accents. To be honest, you all sound the same to me.

I've got a London one m'self. And even in London there're different types. Mine's from the East End.
