THIRTEEN ♋

[selfhatred]

I THINK WE'VE ALL HAD ENOUGH OF THESE FUCKING PETITIONS.
1. THIS IS A SCHOOL, NOT A ZOO.
2. NOBODY CARES.
3. DON'T WHINE THAT WE DIDN'T GET COOL ANIMALS LIKE HUFFLEPUFF AND RAVENCLAW DID. IT'S ANNOYING AND MAKES YOU LOOK LIKE A TOOL.
DONE AND DUSTED.

ALSO, HAS ANYONE SEEN A NOTEBOOK AROUND?
IT'S LEATHER BOUND AND SPELLED VOICE PASSWORD LOCKED.
I THINK I MIGHT HAVE LEFT IT IN THE LIBRARY THE OTHER WEEK.

THAT SEEMS A LITTLE RUDE, MR GREY TEXTY STUDENT.
SOME STUDENTS MIGHT LIKE SIGNING THEIR NAMES ON THINGS.

[selfhatred]

KARKAT VANTAS. FOURTH YEAR GRYFFINDOR.
SOMEHOW I DOUBT THAT.

#awkward turtle

[mightyandtall]

VANTAS, HUH. OK.
I CAN'T REMEMBER IF I'VE RUN INTO YOU BEFORE. ARE YOU OF ANY RELATION TO SALVADOR?
YOU CAN NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE EGO SOME PEOPLE HAVE.

#awkwarder

[selfhatred]

HE'S MY UNCLE.

#awkwardest

[mightyandtall]

_{[Suddenly. Awkward. For reasons Karkat definitely doesn't need to know.]}

OH YES. I CAN.
SEE THE RESEMBLANCE. IN YOUR HANDWRITING.

_{[This is not how you un-awkward things, Theodore.]}

...HOW THE FUCK DOES HANDWRITING BEAR ANY RESEMBLANCE TO SOMEONE ELSE'S?

#logic

[mightyandtall]

IT HAS A LOT OF BEARING, ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING CHILDREN TYPICALLY LEARN TO WRITE FROM THEIR RELATIVES.

#fuck yo logic

[selfhatred]

WELL I GUESS I DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO WRITE MUCH ENGLISH WHEN I CAME TO THE U.K.
NEPETA HELPED ME OUT THOUGH, NOT DAD.

#rude

[mightyandtall]

I AM CONFUSED. WHO IS NEPETA AND WHO IS YOUR FATHER? I THOUGHT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT SALVADOR.
I'M AFRAID I KNOW VERY LITTLE ABOUT HIS OLDEST BROTHER.

#nope

[selfhatred]

OH. UH...WELL, THAT DAD DIDN'T HELP ME OUT MUCH ANYWAY.
HE JUST KINDA SENT ME HERE AFTER MOM DIED AND THAT WAS IT.
I'VE BEEN CALLING UNCLE SAL AND AUNT DI DAD AND MUM LATELY AND I GUESS IT'S JUST A REFLEX.
NEPETA'S MY COUSIN.

#drowns

[mightyandtall]

MY CONDOLENCES.
I DID NOT REALISE HOW INVASIVE MY PREVIOUS QUESTION WAS.

#nopes into space

[selfhatred]

IT'S NO BIG DEAL.

#sinks to the bottom of the ocean

[mightyandtall]

I THINK IT IS CLOSER TO BEING THE CONTRARY.

[selfhatred]

NO. IT'S NO BIG DEAL.

[Nope. Karkat is not doing this. Time for a subject change.]

HOW DO YOU KNOW DAD UNCLE SAL ANYWAY?

[mightyandtall]

_{[No worries, Theo is glad for the topic change.]}

I ATTENDED HOGWARTS WHEN HE DID. I WAS IN THE YEAR AHEAD OF HIM, ALTHOUGH IN A DIFFERENT HOUSE.

[selfhatred]

OH.
I GUESS THAT MEANS YOU TEACH HERE OR SOME...THING...
UH...
SORRY ABOUT THE SWEARING.

[mightyandtall]

YES. I TEACH MUGGLE STUDIES, WHICH MAY EXPLAIN WHY WE HAVE NO CROSSED PATHS BEFORE.
NO HARM DONE, THOUGH I DO RECOMMEND BEING MORE AWARE OF YOUR PHRASING IN THE FUTURE.

[selfhatred]

I GUESS IT DOES.
RIGHT.

[mightyandtall]

HOWEVER IF YOU'RE EVER INTERESTED IN LEARNING ABOUT MUGGLES FROM A WIZARD'S PERSPECTIVE, IT IS NOT TOO LATE TO JOIN THE CLASS.
