_{[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.

What is regular school like?

[givesyouaboner]

It's rather monotonous, but it's okay.
I don't know what to compare it to.

[dou8letrou8le]

I can't imagine.
Won't you miss your friends from your old school?

[givesyouaboner]

Not really.
I wouldn't call them friends anyway.

[dou8letrou8le]

What would you call them?
They are either friends or enemies, yes?

'^' sorry, i missed this :C

[givesyouaboner]

I'd mostly just call them acquaintances.
They're all kinda just there.

it's okay!

[dou8letrou8le]

M8y8e it will 8e different for you here.
M8y8e you will fit in.

[givesyouaboner]

I hope so.
I think it'll be easier here, since everyone has at least magic in common.

[dou8letrou8le]

Are you the first to come here from your family?

[givesyouaboner]

No, but I didn't know my uncles came...go...here, until recently.
I guess it was some sort of huge secret everyone knew about but me.

[dou8letrou8le]

Who are your uncles?
M8y8e it was for the 8est.

[givesyouaboner]

Dirk and Dave Strider.
Do you know them?
Still, I think a heads up would've been nice.

[dou8letrou8le]

Of course I know the professor.
The other I only see in passing.
Some things cannot 8e helped. You should move on from it.

[givesyouaboner]

I live with both of them now.
Well.
I haven't seen Dave yet, because he still has school.
But I get to play the xbox all I want until he comes back.

[dou8letrou8le]

Ah.
I don't live with my parents either.
X8ox?

[givesyouaboner]

Oh right. I guess magical people don't have that.
It's a box that plays virtual games.
It's a lot of fun.

[dou8letrou8le]

Virtual g8mes?
How is that?

[givesyouaboner]

It's not like a game you can touch, not really.
You hold a controller and the game is actually inside of a television.
Do you know what those are?

[dou8letrou8le]

My gr8 aunt had one, 8ut it didn't work.
You can pl8y g8mes on those things?

[givesyouaboner]

Yeah, you can.
Except if it's too old, it might not work right.
Uncle Dirk has a really big one so it's perfect for playing games.

[dou8letrou8le]

Ohhhhhhhh
What kind of g8mes do you pl8y?

[givesyouaboner]

All kinds!
Sports games are rather boring, so I like more of the RPG kind.
There's a long story with it and sometimes it's challenging.

[dou8letrou8le]

RPG?
What is that?

[givesyouaboner]

Role playing game!
There's so many of them.

[dou8letrou8le]

Which ones do you like?
