First Story

[tellsthestories]

If I'm late pointing this out, it's only because I was so shocked.

Some of you, and I'm sure you know who, should be ashamed of yourselves.

And that's all I have to say about that.

Now, can anyone recommend some good books to me?

Oh, I have so many recommendations! There aren't a lot of muggle books in the Hogwarts library, but I do have a bunch I brought from home. Would you like to look at them?

[tellsthestories]

Oh, yes please! Thank you very much!

[fuckilovebooks]

Of course! I'll pick out a few for you and bring them down to the library in twenty minutes.

[tellsthestories]

I can't wait!

[fuckilovebooks]

Er, you will take good care of them, won't you? I don't want the spines getting broken.

[tellsthestories]

I will take the very best care of them!

[fuckilovebooks]

Oh good. It's nice to find someone else that treats books properly.

[tellsthestories]

Well, of course. Books, people, and pets must be treated most carefully.

[fuckilovebooks]

You're absolutely right.

[tellsthestories]

I'm glad you're so respectful of things! Far too many of my yearmates aren't.

[fuckilovebooks]

Mhm. Mine too. I think people our age in general aren't nearly as careful with things as they could be.

[tellsthestories]

I hoped it would go away by the time we reached a higher year, but that might have been wishful thinking.

[fuckilovebooks]

Maybe by the time we leave school more of us will be a bit more mature.

[tellsthestories]

I certainly hope that's the case!

[fuckilovebooks]

There isn't much hope for them in the real world if they don't.

[tellsthestories]

Oh, you don't want to sound too grown up already, though!

[fuckilovebooks]

I don't really mind. I'm looking into pursuing an internship with the Ministry this summer if they say I'm old enough.

[tellsthestories]

Oh... Well... If that's what you like, I suppose.
