fucking fuck i keep forgetting this damn thing exists
if i had a knut for every time ive mistaken this thing as a thing i could do my homework on would make me a very rich man indeed
my worst nightmares have to go something along the lines of this thing getting handed in instead of my actual homework
oh shit sorry professor strider i totally just fucking goofed up
i gave you the journal instead of my haikus in mermish
or even
oh shit sorry student body at large that i accidentally inflicted my pointless divinations homework on all of you
i thought it was my goddamn dream journal
silly me

ps bro if you make me write mermish haikus
i will not like it and you wont like it when i make it 1000 times worse

You wouldn't be the first student to mistake their regular journal for their dream journal. It's fortunate that you did not, I don't believe he ever lived it down.

I don't think I need to remind you about the use of foul language in the journals? If I can restrain myself I'm sure you can.

[strideallknight]

ive just spared my dignity then
for now anyway

sorry professor but i just have this compulsion to write them
i remember too late that foul language is a no no and by then im already on a roll
oops
but hey at least i refrain myself when im actually speaking to a professor
does that earn me even a little bit of brownie points

[wwistful]

I'm sure you'll compensate for it later on in the year.

Oh, do you now? So it's entirely beyond your control? I suppose that means you'll welcome the chance to allow me to put a filter charm on you. They're quite useful, your father would know. Surely then you would be able to earn points with all of your professors.

[strideallknight]

probably

please the filter charm on bro is pretty hilarious
and im totally cool with not cussing as long as nobody pushes my temper
plus i totally earn points
except for potions but nobody talks about potions
weirdest talent for potions ive ever had in which its like russian roulette in whether i can make it or not
i can identify it all just fine but make it
nope dave strider youre not allowed to do that your genes have spoken

[wwistful]

It was a rather light hearted twist on his terrible behaviour. Not to worry, I'm sure he's grown out of it now.

I'll give you a pass this time, but if I catch you again you will experience it first hand.

As for potions, have you considered asking your professor for extra help? Or does that not equate with being cool?

[strideallknight]

it was still pretty awesome to hear sugar and fudge instead of other words

yes sir

dude
you realize i have rhydderch as my potions professor right
im better off just asking a student more potions savvy than i am

[wwistful]

It gets better the more frustrated the victim becomes, I've found. It's fascinating.

How unfortunate.

[Filter]
Has he personally offended you?
[Always looking for new members of the Rhys is an Arse club.]

[strideallknight]

seriously?
i dont think ive seen him with that filter on when hes frustrated with it

[Filter]

just by being in the classroom
id probably do better if he wasnt this wall of intimidation and slightly crazy

[wwistful]

Perhaps if you put some focus on charms you'll be able to filter him at your leisure.
[Filter]
Understandable. He's an absolute displeasure to deal with as a co-worker but I've no idea about his work ethic.

You know, I wasn't too bad at potions back when I was in school.

[strideallknight]

ill probably do that
this saying dirk doesnt know it already and can teach it to me

[Filter]

his work ethic is pretty ok
ive just never liked him since i met him in my first year

is that an offer for tutoring
if so can i take you up on that
ive recently found out that my career goal requires potions so im going to need all the help i can get on this thing
everything else is good to go

[wwistful]

Perhaps. Perhaps he missed out on it on his travels.
[Filter]
I haven't liked him since I met him, so you aren't alone in that regard.

It might be, if I can manage to spare the time. You may have to assist me in your own time in return.

And you will have to tell me what career it is you're referring to.

[strideallknight]

wont hurt to ask

[Filter]

sounds like a fair trade off to me
its not like i participate in quidditch practice or any clubs
auror
its my ultimate goal at the moment but im open to other career ideas
im only 14

[filter]

[wwistful]

You've come to the right professor, then. I was an auror until quite recently, actually.
Take it from me, joining clubs will benefit you in the future. They like it when you seem as if you've got a well rounded education.

I'd be happy to tutor you, but it won't be easy. I'm sure you're well aware of that already, though.
