I got a lot of art supplies while I was in Hogsmeade! This is going to be so fun. If anyone wants me to make them something crafty, I'm still offering!

Did anyone else have an exciting time?

Can I meet you all somewhere after dinner? Ms. Maryam, do you know a place for us to meet?

There really is! And it's definitely overwhelming sometimes, and not everything goes well, but that's life, right? I think it's worth it when all is said and done.

Likewise.

Yes, it's highly preferable to spending all day with tutors. I may not be learning as much, but it is good to be around people. People my age, that is.

Granted, everything gets a little loud, and there's so much sitting ... I wouldn't mind being by myself up a tree for awhile.

[hairflyingheartpounding]

Isn't it so wonderful? People are so, well, interesting!

Oh! Oh, I would like that, too.

[greenteengenius]

I. Well, I suppose they are. [More like difficult, but interesting too.]

We don't have many climbing trees here outside the forest, unfortunately. I've had to get a bit creative with the moving staircases.

[hairflyingheartpounding]

Creative with the staircases, huh? Like how?

[greenteengenius]

They make for half-decent climbing. Of course, you risk falling down a flight or two of stairs ...

[hairflyingheartpounding]

Yikes. It does sound kind of thrilling, though.

[greenteengenius]

You don't get out of sorts sitting down all day? My muscles have to move or I get surly.

[hairflyingheartpounding]

Oh, I like taking a walk or going for a run, but I've never tried with the staircases before.

I mean, you have to admit, it could be dangerous.






I might have to try it anyway, though.

[greenteengenius]

There you go.

Besides, wizards--and witches--don't break so easily. Always can have a friend ready with a levitation charm if you're nervous.

[hairflyingheartpounding]

That's true, too! Thanks!

[greenteengenius]

If you get any good at it, we can race.

[hairflyingheartpounding]

I'll hold you to that!
