[This is literally the first time he's used this journal, so the name probably isn't all that familiar to older students. Have some first year chicken scratch.]

Wow, did everyone suddenly go crazy?

I mean, what's going on? I think most of my classes got cancelled today.

Comments

[gloriousandfree]

I don't know but most of mine were cancelled as well.

[brokethecycle]

I've been watching the journals and it just looks like all this weird stuff is going on.

Is that normal?

YOU KNOW WHATS CRAZY? I CAN READ YOUR WRITING. GRANTED, I HAD TO ACTUALLY LICK THE PAGE, BUT THATS STILL PRETTY OUT THERE.

AND I CAN DO THIS!

[Yes, that is a bit incoherent, isn't it.]

[hagyjbeken]

Could be worse, they could have become violent instead of crazy... or in addition to it.

As for classes, no need to worry, I'm sure they'll come back soon. Or I could always teach you a thing or two. [The strikes are merely scratched through once and pretty legible.]

[brokethecycle]

Wait- You're licking the page to read this?

[gloriousandfree]

Sadly? Yes.

[just1c3w1tch]

WHATS WEIRDER--THAT IM LICKING A PIECE OF PAPER, OR THAT I CAN READ HANDWRITING WHEN IM BLIND?

I CAN SMELL AND TASTE COLORS NOW AND ITS GREAT!

[brokethecycle]

I- Well, yeah, I guess. You don't think that'll happen, do you?

[He doesn't comment on the bottom part. This is that older housemate of his that- well, she seems nice but she keeps trying to get him to talk to people.]

[brokethecycle]

I think they're all pretty equal levels of weird, honestly.

But I guess you're really enjoying it? So that's good.

[hagyjbeken]

I highly doubt it will, but you never know when people start to act unusual like this. Especially considering the fact it's a large group and group mentality tends to get... hostile.

[She only means the best, really. Even if she's a bit pushy about it and probably not going about it the right way.]

[just1c3w1tch]

HAHAHA!

THE COLORS WERE WHAT I MISSED MOST WHEN I WENT BLIND. ITS REALLY SWEET TO HAVE THEM BACK. I WONDER HOW LONG THISLL LAST.

BUT TO ANSWER YOUR ORIGINAL QUESTION--WEIRD STUFF HAPPENS HERE ALL THE TIME. ITS HOGWARTS. IT DOES WHAT IT WANTS. BUT THE WEIRD STUFF TENDS TO WEAR OFF BEFORE VERY LONG.

[brokethecycle]

Oh.

[brokethecycle]

Yeah. I know. [Boy, does he know.]

I'm just gonna stay in my room until this all blows over then.

[hagyjbeken]

The common room proper is pretty safe, too. I think most of the insanity is isolated to the other houses, to be perfectly fair with you.

[brokethecycle]

I guess I should have figured that since this is a magic school.

I'm a little surprised magic can't fix blindness though. It's magic.

[brokethecycle]

I've kind of noticed that we're a lot um... quieter than the others.

[goatmasis]

You humans are all crazy to me, I don't see how this is any different.

[brokethecycle]

Um. I'm sorry?

[caresawholeawfullot]

Crazier than usual, yeah.

[brokethecycle]

I'm starting to wonder what I signed up for.

[caresawholeawfullot]

First year, huh? Muggleborn, too, maybe?

[brokethecycle]

[Inkblots.]

Yeah. It must be pretty obvious.

[caresawholeawfullot]

Only because I was there two years ago. Don't worry about it.

I'm Ted.

[brokethecycle]

Oh.

I'm Norman. Does the um. Muggleborn thing happen a lot?

[caresawholeawfullot]

What do you mean, exactly?

[text]

[just1c3w1tch]

IT CAME FROM A POTION BLOWING UP IN MY FACE, SO THERE MIGHT HAVE BEEN MAGIC IN THERE IN ADDITION TO THE SCALDING-LIQUID-TO-THE-EYES THING.

DONT HOLD YOUR FACE OVER THE CAULDRON IN POTIONS.

[gloriousandfree]

It's not that bad really.
