I suppose I should be glad that, as tests and finals go, 6th year is kind of a breather year. The OWLs are behind you and the NEWTs are still looming on the horizon but otherwise not an immediate threat. I personally didn't think the OWLs were all that bad, even though my marks were just decent. Nothing to write home about, especially since the family wouldn't know what nocturnal birds have to do with tests anyway. Still, good luck to everyone who's got to square off against the big tests this year, especially if you're still trying to get your head sorted after the school's most recent bout with strangeness.

Ah yeah, about that, the odd mind and body stuff. The only thing I had to deal with was a body that was about 20 years older than it ought've been (and the same height I am now, of course). I remember the whole thing pretty clearly, but I think that's because my mind wasn't changed. So... for those of you who've been told that their brains were mixed up, do you remember anything about those days at all? Is it like you blacked out for a few days, or is it all a little fuzzy, or do you remember all of it clearly?

I ask because I'm sure I'm soon to have a certain conversation, and this'll give me some insight on where that talk will fall on a scale of "awkward" to "stupdendously awkward".

Oh, yeah, I know what you mean. If this castle were an author, it'd make all of us incredibly unreliable narrators - possibly entirely for laughs.

This is actually something of a first for me, because I hardly ever have clear memories after something like this blows through. Like, for example, I was dead once. Apparently. Don't remember a single thing about it, which I suppose is the least distressing option.

Suddenly our lives are but of a comedy. For some reason I'm slightly offended if that were the case. I never asked to be signed up to be humiliated.

Oh. Well. I wonder how well you would remember death. I suppose the ghosts can speak of it in great detail, but I imagine that certain circumstances still make that hazy. I do apologize for not of being more help.

Honestly, I'd love to really know what happened. I feel like I spewed out a lot of ridiculous information while in that situation. It's quite embarrassing thinking about it now.

guh late tag, apologies

Honestly, if there is anything more to the odd things that keep happening than just sheer magical randomness, then us not really being eager participants is probably half the reason. Like reality TV, only without the TV and really straining the definition of 'reality' until it's fit to snap.

It's a shame you don't remember beyond vague memories. Even if the information you were spouting was ridiculous, it's good to have some kind of insight.

Take your time! I don't mind :)

Considering the recent events, the word reality starts to lose its meaning. Only here is that an actual thing. I suppose we must lay in the beds we've made.

I'm curious, but this place has a nasty habit of keeping us in the dark. I guess that it might be for the best. The world might spin on its side if we got ahold of information we aren't meant to have. Kind of like Time Turners and meeting yourself. You could destroy the balance of things by knowing more than what you should.
