Hey, everyone no doubt had an amazing fortnight off. I know I certainly had some, we'll go with, well, eye-opening in weird ways I guess.

And then we have the new term coming up. I've thought of some new plays and I'm looking forward to taking on Gryffindor and Slytherin, And I'm going to be taking you both more seriously than I did Hufflepuff.

And thanks to the one with the wide forehead an blonde hair. I will actually be in the Duelling competition that's coming up. Which really is an exercise in stupid, but hey, pretty sure I can make an impression, I always do.

When it's just me, I never disappoint.

[3houseswatson]

What a coincidence - isn't that your bedroom policy as well?

[arrogantalloy]

Nice try. But I don't spend much time being alone in bed at night.

[3houseswatson]

Teddy bears don't count, y'know.

[arrogantalloy]

I'm not counting them. I prefer people in bed with me, they can cuddle back.

[3houseswatson]

But unless you're counting whatever you get up to when you're on holiday, that just leaves your roommates.

[arrogantalloy]

I am counting them.

Well, two of them.

[3houseswatson]

Forgive me if I have a hard time believing they're all on board with your nocturnal snuggling.

[arrogantalloy]

They're not, that's why I said two out of Three.

Herbert can't stand me because I have actual talent.

[3houseswatson]

Nice try, Tony, but you've shown your hand. No way Sherlock would put up with that.

[arrogantalloy]

Ask him if you don't believe me. But I have been in bed with him.

[3houseswatson]

Come to think of it, maybe I believe you. He does weird things for science sometimes.

[arrogantalloy]

Convenience, not science. Something he was working exploded over his bed, and my bed had engine parts on it, so we took over Bruce's bed.

Well I was already there.

[3houseswatson]

Engine parts? Anybody who tries to explain what goes on in your House is in for a tough task.

Also what, exactly, were you already doing in Bruce's bed?

[arrogantalloy]

I'm rebuilding a 1932 Ford Flathead Roadster. I bring small parts to school to work on. It's not all that strange and exciting.

Because I'm always in or on his bed. The engine parts take up a lot of space.

[3houseswatson]

Oh, yeah, of course. Nothing unusual at all about rebuilding an old car in a school of magic where most of the students and staff barely know cars even exist.

And he's got no problem with you getting car all over his space?

[arrogantalloy]

My family name is in both worlds. It's not really all that weird for me. at least it's not, you know, stamp collecting or pinning insects.

Of course he does, that's why I keep them on my bed and sleep in his with him.

[3houseswatson]

That's true. At least the car thing isn't boring.

But why don't you just clear a spot on the floor for the engine? Honestly keeping it on the bed kind of sounds like an excuse.

[arrogantalloy]

Building them is fun, driving them is better.

Like you said, we're Ravenclaws. Our floors are for scientific or magical experiments. Not hobbies in engineering.
