_{[Dirk has glanced from his homework to the journal his uncle got him for over an hour now. Writing something in there sounded like a lot more fun than trying to catch up on assignments after missing so much school. He hasn't a clue of what to say, so he just rolls with the first thing that comes to mind.]}


I can't wait for the school year to end.
It's getting ridiculously difficult to keep up with all of my assignments, especially knowing that in September, I start at Hogwarts.
Regular school work is boring in comparison to the idea of learning magic.
Plus, summer will be awesome for reasons.

Are you only just starting at Hogwarts?

Where were you studying before?

[givesyouaboner]

I don't go there yet, but I will.
Right now I go to primary school in Kensington.

[doctorkishitani]

Really?

Is it a muggle school? I've heard that muggles attend classes after they turn five. Is that true?

What are your classes like?

[givesyouaboner]

Yeah, that's true.
Sometimes kids start earlier depending upon their birthdays or if their parents want them to take a pre-k course.

They're pretty boring on account of them being too easy. Every year we study English, math, science, and history.
There's also extra classes like art, music, and gym.

[clockspinner]

hey kid
hows it hanging

spoiler alert
im sure bro will let you skip school

[givesyouaboner]

It's as good as it can be.
I don't know.

They'll probably kick me out if I miss anymore school.
Plus, I still have a lot of make-up assignments left.
If I don't complete them I'll get poor marks.

[clockspinner]

so what if you get kicked out
hogwarts doesnt care what marks you got
most magical kids are homeschooled anyway

[givesyouaboner]

Ugh.
There's no point in this.
I'll just. Play stupid video games until June.

[clockspinner]

sounds like an excellent plan little bromo sapien
kick bros ass on the xbox for me before i get back

[Filtered]

bro and i are here for you man
if you need to talk you can go to him
or ask him to make this thing private if youd rather talk to me
okay??

[unitedavalon]

If you think your muggle studies are too easy now, then it may become a rather large shock when you enter into Hogwarts.

I cannot speak for the rest of the faculty, but I at least believe in homework on the first day.

I trust all your school supplies have been sorted out and are ready and waiting for the start of term?

[doctorkishitani]

But that sounds amazing! We don't officially start classes until we turn eleven.

And I don't think we have anything like English, or art classes here. What sorts of things do you study?

strikethroughs are readable to anyone

[givesyouaboner]

Free reign to raid your game stash, then?
I still don't have everything.
Or maybe my games are here somewhere.
Everything's still a huge mess...

I just
Why can't you
June is taking too long to
I really hate everythi

I'll ask him when he decides to show his butt up again.
I don't know where he is.

[givesyouaboner]

I guess a little of everything.
We learn a lot of grammar and practice writing in English.
In art class we can make our own stuff and we learn a little about famous artists.

[givesyouaboner]

What's the point in taking classes if they're too easy?

What class do you teach?

Uhhhhh. No.
I'll get them before the semester starts though.
I'm kind of in the middle of a move so everything is chaotic.

[clockspinner]

sure thing
just dont save over my game files or ill pee in your bed
there should be plenty of room on the memory card though

shit
im sor
i would

[Filtered]

ill write you a letter and send sprite home with it
well do it the old fashioned way
like pen pals
you can write me a letter and send it back with my owl

[doctorkishitani]

Maybe you're right. That does sound like it would be boring.
But it does sound practical. You'll probably have a better understanding of grammar than most of us!

[givesyouaboner]

That would defeat the purpose.
Don't you know?
I have the only bed.
Uncle Dirk decided not to bother getting another.
You get to sleep on the floor.

_{[He obviously isn't serious about that; he's just trying to make the effort to act normal]}

But yeah.
I won't do that.
I have to have proof that I can out-game you too.



That sounds okay, I guess, just as long as no one else reads what I say.
Can you prevent that or is it just a matter of chance?

[givesyouaboner]

It is, but the methods used to teach are dismal.
I would hope not.
I'd rather hope that an older student has a better command of it than me.

[clockspinner]

nah its pretty legit
sprites a clever little bastard anyway
hes made the flight home dozens of times
just dont accidentally impale him or anything
bro will never let you live it down

[unitedavalon]

Just because they are too easy, doesn't mean there isn't some form of information you were previous oblivious to. Never discount something because it is easy.

I am one of two charms professors, so there is a possibility of you being one of my students in the new term.

I see, try not to leave it too late. Diagon alley can become uncomfortably crowded due to last minute mucking around, especially when muggle borns are involved, apparently they find everything so incredibly overwhelming.

[givesyouaboner]

What?
How would I even do that?
Not that I want to.
That just sounds ridiculous.

[givesyouaboner]

That hasn't been the case yet, so I'll see.

You've got me there.
Charms as in etiquette or... spells?

Yeah, well, it's not like we're given a detailed support manual explaining everything.

[unitedavalon]

Good to see you're going to 'see'.

First year learn boths spells and wand ettiquette in my classes, so if you get down to it, I guess you could say I teach both. And a certain elloquence is required when casting charms.

Well for those of us raised in the wizarding world, it's all second nature to us, so there's no need for things to be explained. Believe me, some of us are equally baffled when it comes to being in your world.

[harlequinzel]

New kid!

[givesyouaboner]

Way to state the obvious.
