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?

Yeahhhh... seeing talk like that makes me feel a little cruddy about being Pureblood sometimes. I don't wanna look like a jerk in front of the other bloodtypes because some of us have a serious case of butt-mouth!

I don't know if I can really help you on the book thing, though, sorry.

[tellsthestories]

Oh, Finn, you poor thing. I know I, at least, try to keep in mind that not everyone that comes from all-magical families is like that.

Don't worry, but thank you.

[wandsr4wimps]

Aw, Wendy, I'm not the poor thing! I feel way worse for you Muggleborns who keep having to hear stupid 100% untrue bunk gunk that they're lesser. But... thanks for knowing that I've got your back and not all of us believe that stink.

Wish I could help more, but Jake didn't get around to teaching me to read until I was like eight, so I'm not exactly the Lord of Books!

[tellsthestories]

That's very kind of you, Finn. I try not to let it bother me, but I appreciate hearing you think it's nonsense. And you're welcome!

You didn't learn to read until you were eight? Oh, my! I hope you get to experience lots of books now, then, to make up for lost time!

[wandsr4wimps]

Maybe one day we can convince enough people to stop being such jerkwads and things'll get way better. THE FUTURE IS OURS!!

Wait, actually... I might've been nine. But, uh, I guess I have the opportunity to experience a lot of books now, what with the library, but um... idon'ttoomuch.

I'm sure things will get better eventually, with the war over and all. By the time we're grown up, certainly, as that's so far away.

Oh! Finn, we really should get you reading!

[wandsr4wimps]

Yeah! And even if it'd all get better without my help, I'm still gonna punch those attitudes right in the nose!

Well, people keep telling me that books contain amazing adventures, and I'm totally on board with that super greatness, but then they hand me a 5 pound chunk of dusty old pages that kinda smell like old cats.

[tellsthestories]

Just stay out of trouble!

Oh, Finn, it's so much more than dusty old pages! And the smell of books is lovely. Reading a good story is like going to another world!

[wandsr4wimps]

But Trouble is my middle name! It's what the T stands for.

I kinda prefer the instant kind of adventure, but I'll hear you out. What's the best world you've been to?

[tellsthestories]

Somehow, I doubt that.

Oooh... I think the best would be a world of pirates and hidden treasure, of adventure and bravery!

[wandsr4wimps]

But Trouble's wayyyy better than Theodore...

OH YEAH, THAT IS DEFINITELY THE BEST! What about villains? You're only hero-ing at like 75% if you don't have some big villain or monster to rumble with!

[tellsthestories]

Theodore is a perfectly sweet name!

Oh, of course villains! True scoundrels of pirates!
