In the interest of an unbiased study into muggle behaviors and cultural discrepancies, I require a ^muggleborn female student to associate with me or at the very least permit me to engage in observational behavior including but not limited to tailing, watching from the shadows, and keeping close records on all activities, correspondence, and so on. Do not waste my time if you are already well aware that you are annoying and generally distasteful.

Please respond to this message with your interest. I will select the best candidate once all volunteers have come forward.

Yeah, because so many unimaginative people are known to be creative.

Wait, no. Because to create you have to imagine its existence.

[3potionproblem]

Not so. My violin for instance.

[arrogantalloy]

Playing other peoples creativity doesn't count. That's just a practised mimicry.

You need to have imagination in order to create your own songs, because there can't be a new song if you can't imagine a reason for a new song.

I could compose if I wanted to.

[arrogantalloy]

Yeah, but it means you have to be imaginative and creative to make up something.

[3potionproblem]

Music can be composed with mathmatical equasions to calculate harmonics. Veriables in the equasion create a different sound. There: creativty without imagination.

That's never going to be a song that moves anyone, Sherlock.

I'm going to say something to you, that most everyone has said to me at least once. "For a genius, you're pretty dumb."

[3potionproblem]

Forgive me if I don’t leap for joy at being categorized in the same words as you yet again.

[arrogantalloy]

Yet again?

Do I even want to know how people think we're the same?

[3potionproblem]

We were both sorted Ravenclaw, Stark; do keep up.

[arrogantalloy]

If that's the only thing they've said that we have in common, then I'm a very happy chappy.

[3potionproblem]

That makes two of us.
