Ah, I wonder why I've never used this journal before. It seems to be a useful way to keep up with everyone, so I think I might stick to this. It's a new year, so I guess it can be a resolution.

I seemed to have missed something, too. A debate, I think. While I think it's nice you're all being open and opinionated, I hope that no one was extremely hurt by the words thrown around! That would be awful...

Also, fellow Hufflepuffs, if anyone would like some, I received an owl from home with some ausukai left over from New Years. If you'd like some, I wouldn't mind sharing them! There's still a lot left. Other house goers can have some too if they happen to catch me in the hall, I suppose.

I hope you all had wonderful holidays and are having a nice new term back at school here, too.

[knifed]

Pity.

I was hoping you had died over the break.

[concern]

No, I'm still alive! I do hope your holiday was wonderful, Natalya.

[knifed]

That is why it is a pity.

It was fine.

[concern]

Did you do anything special? Visit with your family?

[knifed]

Yes, if you must know. My sister is finally home.

[concern]

Oh? I hope she's doing well.

[knifed]

She is better than she has been.

[concern]

Has she been unwell?

[knifed]

The war was unkind to her.

[concern]

I see. The war hasn't been kind to a lot of us. I'm glad she's doing better, though.

[knifed]

...Thank you. ( That was written as grudgingly as possible, Toris. )

[concern]

You're welcome.

[ A few ink blots drip as he nervously contemplates his words. ]

I'm really glad that you're safe, too.

[knifed]

I was never in any real danger. My family is mostly pureblooded, after all.

[concern]

I know, but it doesn't make me any less happy that you're okay.

[knifed]

There was no reason to be worried, however. It was a completely useless emotion. As is your joy that I am safe.

[concern]

It wasn't useless. It isn't. We are coming out of a war. I don't think it's abnormal to be concerned about the people we care about.

[knifed]

There was no reason to worry about me. Besides, I do not care for you, you should not care so incessantly about me.

[concern]

I like you so I care about you. That's reason enough to worry about your well being.

[knifed]

( If you could only see the disgust on her face, Toris. IF ONLY. )

I do not like you.

[ladyliberty]

Is that food?

[concern]

Oh, sorry. Yes, they're cookies! Some with and without frosting.

[ladyliberty]

I want some!

[concern]

Sure thing, Amelia. I can drop some off at your table for you during dinner. Do you have any colour preference? If you want some frosted, I mean.

[ladyliberty]

I like red and blue!

[concern]

Oh, I have pink and blue? They're really pastel...

[ladyliberty]

I guess that'll work too.

[concern]

Alright. I've got half a dozen with your name on them.

[ladyliberty]

Yay! You're the best!

[concern]

I'll tell you the next time I get anything. My aunt loves sending me more sweets than I can eat.

[ladyliberty]

Well then, tell your aunt she's the best.

[concern]

I'll make a note of that in my next letter home.

[allsweetheart]

What in sam hill are ausu-whatever?

[concern]

They're cookies! Perhaps I should go back and add that in, sorry.

[fashioneighsta]

A debate is putting it lightly.

[concern]

I didn't really catch all of the details, sorry. Or bother to read most of it.

[fashioneighsta]

No need to be sorry, darling, it might be for the best if you don't find out any more. The long and short of it is that people can be very unpleasant.

[concern]

Tell me something I don't know.

I hope that you've been well, regardless.

[fashioneighsta]

Of course! I'm not about to let a few bullies ruin my day.

[concern]

I'm glad you're taking this all in stride! It seems a lot of people aren't reacting too well to this sudden appearance of ignorance.

[fashioneighsta]

Always look better than your enemy, that's what I always say. It doesn't only apply to fashion!

Tell me if you don't want me to use the quirk! :3

[cuddlefishpeixes]

38O
W)(at's ausukai? W)(atever it is, I'm sure its good! I'd LOV-E to try some!

I'll trade you some for some raivas, if you want!

O)(, and welcome back to you too! I )(ope you )(ad a good )(oliday, too! 38)

totally okay with it!

[concern]

They're like Christmas cookies. I'm not quite sure what you mean by raivas, though. I'm glad to give you some either way!

The same to you, Feferi. I hope your holidays were bright and festive.

[cuddlefishpeixes]

O)(! In t)(at case, I'd love to try some!

Raivas are a kind of cookie t)(at we make back )(ome in Portugal! I'll give you some, too!

T)(ey were! But it's still good to be back at sc)(ool and see all of my friends again. 38D

[concern]

Well then, I'd be delighted to have a sweets swap with you. When I catch you next in the common room, I'll give you a few.

I'm glad you're enjoying your term so far and the school as a whole. You're a third year, right? It must be nice to be so young and happy-go-lucky.

PFT LATE AS HELL FORGIVE ME

[cuddlefishpeixes]

T)(at sounds wonderful! I can't wait! 38D

)(ee)(ee, you say t)(at like you're ages and ages older t)(an me, silly. I try my best to be extra c)(eerful, and make everyone smile.

T)(is weat)(er doesn't do anyone any favors. 38(
