So i know this book of monsters is meant to have a bit of an attitude problem.
But the blasted thing has stolen my shoe.
I believe i can get it to abandon it by dangling my second one but i can only be in one place at one time.
So im not quite sure how to go from dangling the bait to retrieving my other shoe without losing something more important than the first shoe.
Any suggestions?

[For anyone in the Gryffindor boys' dorm, Jake has spent the last hour or so standing on his bed and trying various methods of reclaiming his lost shoe from under it with the vicious book. Naturally, he's warned any of his bunkmates of the danger, but that doesn't mean he's had any better luck getting the thing to relinquish his shoe.]

...Just Marshall is okay.

Haha..well, it's my first year here too so I don't get some of the steriotypes yet.

Sure thing then marshall.
I never like to assume its all right to refer to a person familiarly when ive just met them.
Especially upperclassmen.

Ah well welcome to hogwarts then! I do hope the school is good to you.
There are a lot of stereotypes surrounding the various houses-- gryffindors are always exploited as brainless grunts with too much energy and slytherins are always the 'bad guys'.
Its a bit silly really.

Ah I see. Huh, it never really occured to me to call anyone under the age of 18 or so mister.

Thanks. I like it here a lot so far. Everyone I've met so far has been pretty cool. I don't even really think about them in relation to their Houses really!

I was raised to be a bit over the top im noticing.

Thats good!
A refreshing sort of outlook.

Oh yeah? I guess that's a good thing though. I mean, it's better to be well mannered than not.

I've learned that you can't ever judge someone by appearances or where a person comes from.

[ficklefuckwit]

True indeed.

Thats a wonderful thing to learn.
