I don't think I'll ever be happy with how long something takes to come by owl.

Either way, Hogsmeade. What's interesting there?

[Filtered to Arthur]

I was wrong. Forget what I told you about Marina.

What?

[Eloquence, it is him]

[Filtered]

[lefilschanceux]

It's just as I said. I got the wrong person. She's not my sister.

[Filtered]

[rule_britannia]

You seemed very sure when you told me.

[Filtered]

[lefilschanceux]

I know. But we met, compared notes, and it's not her.

[Filtered]

[rule_britannia]

I see. I'm sorry to hear that.

[Filtered]

[lefilschanceux]

Thanks.

Just... Don't mention this to her, will you? She made it perfectly clear that the less she sees or hears of me, the better.

[Filtered]

[rule_britannia]

That does sound rather like her.

I'll keep it to myself. For my own safety.

[Filtered]

[lefilschanceux]

And I'll avoid her until I graduate.

[Filtered]

[rule_britannia]

I wish you the best of luck in that endeavour.

[Filtered]

[lefilschanceux]

Shouldn't be too hard. Different years and Houses, not much need to meet her.

[Filtered]

[rule_britannia]

I wouldn't be so sure of that. This school can be damnably small when you're actively trying to avoid someone.

[Filtered]

[lefilschanceux]

What can I say, I'm an optimist at heart.

Then again Beauxbatons was the same, so I probably should have learned my lesson by now.

[Filtered]

[rule_britannia]

Sometimes it's like the place just wants to toy with us, I'm sure.

[Filtered]

[lefilschanceux]

Then I have to say, this whole sentient school thing? It'll probably get old fast.

[Filtered]

[rule_britannia]

Try spending five years in the place.

[Filtered]

[lefilschanceux]

Yes, I can imagine it's gotten pretty old for you, by now.

[Filtered]

[rule_britannia]

You get used to it. My friends dropping dead is a new one, though.

[Filtered]

[lefilschanceux]

I'd seriously hope that's not something anyone ever gets used to.

[Filtered]

[rule_britannia]

I think I'd be a little concerned about myself if I was anything close to calm about waking up with a dead body in the bed next to me.

Not that it kept him quiet at all. In fact I think it made him worse.

[Filtered]

[lefilschanceux]

I don't think I can blame him, to be honest.

[Filtered]

[rule_britannia]

He took a rather macabre fascination with his own death.

And I kept waking up to find him staring at me. Not that it's something he doesn't do normally, but ghosts don't need to sleep.

[Filtered]

[lefilschanceux]

Ah... Ok, that's weirder.

[Filtered]

[rule_britannia]

If you knew Eriq, you wouldn't find it so strange.

[Filtered]

[lefilschanceux]

I guess I wouldn't, but still...

[Filtered]

[rule_britannia]

I get that kind of reaction a lot.

[Filtered]

[lefilschanceux]

I imagine you do.

[di_intraining]

Depends on what you're looking for. Most students check out Zonko's, it's a joke shop, or Honey Dukes, that's the sweet shop. There's the Three Broomsticks if you'd like some butterbeer.

[lefilschanceux]

Thanks. Anything else of interest?Like, supply stores or anything?

[di_intraining]

There's Scrivenshaft's, if you're looking for stationary. Dogweed and Deathcap's got pretty exotic stuff for Herbology. If it's magical equipment you're looking for though, try Dervish and Banges, they even fix Sneakoscopes.

There's also a branch for Ollivanders in case you want to ask about your wand and Potage's is the local cauldron shop.

[lefilschanceux]

Convenient... Anything else I should know about the village?

[di_intraining]

The villagers say the Shrieking Shack's haunted, so try not to go anywhere near it. There's a music shop, Spinwitches for sports, and even a greengrocers, but I've never gone in there.

There's also Madam Puddifoot's, but unless you're going on a date or you really like tea and cakes, I wouldn't recommend it.

[lefilschanceux]

All right, I think I got it. Again, thanks.
