Mark VIII

[arrogantalloy]

The chances of me getting a turkey the size of Rogers over Thanksgiving is high.

Everyone not American might not get it. But history aside, a turkey the size of non-muscular Gryffindors is really the only reason to celebrate the day.

Please tell me I'm not the only one looking forward to edible monster birds?

That doesn't sound like an american name.

I forgot how you always go off in that direction in conversations.

[arrogantalloy]

These days, there isn't really an 'American name'. Not in America at least. But yeah, Thor's the Gryffindor who took a Slytherin bludger in the last match. He could eat his own body weight in turkey I'm sure.

I don't always go off in those directions.

[cantstarvethisfire]

Oh yeah that kid. I can see him eating that much.

When don't you?

[arrogantalloy]

So could he.

Other than right now? When I'm working on my projects or homework. Or talking to Jarvis.

[cantstarvethisfire]

Who's Jarvis? Your pet?

[arrogantalloy]

Wow, that's. Wrong.

No, he's my butler, actually.

[cantstarvethisfire]

You have a butler?

[arrogantalloy]

You know, you're making me feel a lot less infamous with questions like that.

I'm a pure blood and my family name makes millions in the muggle and wizarding world. Of course I have a butler.

[cantstarvethisfire]

I'm about to burst your bubble some more. What does your family do?

[arrogantalloy]

'Do' isn't the right tense here. 'Did' is the word you're looking for.

Mom was a socialite who did a few muggle awareness projects, made her feel like she was making changes to their lives, I guess.

Dad invented spells for wizards, and technology for Muggles. Our name is bigger in the US but there's things around England that bear the Stark Industries logo.

[cantstarvethisfire]

Sorry, I didn't know it was a past tense situation.

[arrogantalloy]

Hey, it's fine. Most people who know are friends, teachers, or the American public. Not really something I expect everyone to know. Not only that but I'm hardly in a minority here what with. You know, happening and all.

And really, my life isn't really all that different without them.

[cantstarvethisfire]

I'd be surprised if there were some kids here with both parents, especially with any of the ones with wizard parents.

[arrogantalloy]

You know, I've heard there are a few of them out there. This place is just so wacky.

[cantstarvethisfire]

I never tell my mom about the weird things that happen here. I don't know how she would deal or understand them.

[arrogantalloy]

You know. That's probably a good idea. Muggles really can't handle magic a lot of the time, I've found.

[cantstarvethisfire]

Some wizarding clothes are bad enough to handle.

[arrogantalloy]

Yeah, even I try to avoid that. Not really the most stylish people, wizards.

[cantstarvethisfire]

I have to agree since we're in a castle with torches lining the halls.

[arrogantalloy]

Yeah, but you have to agree, wizard architecture is more impressive and less, well, weird.

[cantstarvethisfire]

It is nicer, and you can trick space for more room.

[arrogantalloy]

Well yeah, when you know the right spells. So it's always more fun than anything most things muggles can do.

[cantstarvethisfire]

You could make a fun haunted house that way.

[arrogantalloy]

You know, you've given me some fantastic ideas for Halloween now. Of course, I'm going to have to wait till I graduate to even put any of them into practice.

[cantstarvethisfire]

Are you even going to be able to do that? Won't you have to wait until you're seventeen still?
