Steadily, I'm falling under the idea that many people use the Doubling Charm to be cheap. Why would you duplicate your cup instead of just buying a second one? It's just going to decay over time. The origin of it is reasonable enough and I understand the practical and strategic uses, but from my studying, it seems most people misuse it. Maybe that's just "muggle" of me.

Also, after going over the duties and the time requirements, I'm thinking of becoming a prefect.




P.S. Welcome back, seems most of you are back in your right mind or body.

My perspective is probably skewed by how my mother never used her magic for things she could just do without it, like dishes or getting something from across the room.
I didn't even know people did that 'til showing up here.

Can't really see it as wasteful when you're wasting an infinite resource in the first place.
But getting things from across the room via magic is definitely lazy.

[starspangledavenger]

A solid point.
That one in particular was baffling for me when I saw it the first time.

[toocoolforthis]

Word of warning, then.
Never go into Professor Strider's place if you can help it.
If that was weird for you, you'll have fun with his shit.

[starspangledavenger]

Noted. I am getting used to it though, so perhaps one day I could handle it.

[toocoolforthis]

Eventually, I'm sure.
Most wizards find it weird too.

[starspangledavenger]

Now I'm just curious.

[toocoolforthis]

Let's just say it involves puppets.
The rest you can learn for yourself.
Think of it as an adventure.

[starspangledavenger]

Puppets? Okay, that wasn't even close to being on the list of things I would have expected.

[toocoolforthis]

That's exactly the point of them.
Nothing should be what you expect, with him.
You could call it A Thing with him.

[starspangledavenger]

I would say I'll remember that, but then that'd become an expectation of him and the contradiction of no expectation becoming an expectation might cause unwanted side effects.
