1st Ingredient

[thelifeything]

Father finally agreed to let me have access to my journal.
I had to explain to him that nobody was going to harm me through a silly little notebook.
Greetings, fellow students.
Well I suppose that's not exactly true since I won't be a student until fall, but greetings nonetheless.
My name is Jane Crocker. It's a pleasure to make your acquaintances.

oh my god!
jane!

[thelifeything]

Hello, John!
We'll be able to talk more at last!

[fuckmackandme]

yes!
no more uncle john getting in the way.

[thelifeything]

Now, John, you know father means well.
Well I suppose he can be a little overprotective of me.
But he has good reasons.

[fuckmackandme]

there was still no reason not to let you talk to dad and i.

[givesyouaboner]

Sup, Jane.
I'm Strider.
Dirk Strider.
I'm going to be a first year too.

[thelifeything]

Are you?
Oh my, this is so exciting!
I've never interacted with other children my age before!
It's a pleasure to meet you, Mister Strider.

[givesyouaboner]

Really?
I'm not sure if you've missed out on much or not.
A lot of the kids our age I've met are stupid.
The exception being Roxy and Loki.
They're going to be first years too.

[thelifeything]

Yes really.
Father demands that I stay in the house all the time when I'm not accompanied by him or one of our house elves.
I suppose if it was up to him I wouldn't be going to Hogwarts, but there really is no safer place.
That's what they say in Hogwarts: A History anyway.

[givesyouaboner]

Oh.
That's nice, I guess.
I do what I want because that's how Striders roll.
I've heard about house elves, though.
They're those brainwashed slaves, right?

Hello Jane. I am Loki Laufeyson and I will also be a first year this coming fall. It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance.

[thelifeything]

It's a pleasure to meet you too, Loki.
I look forward to being yearmates with you.
How have you been finding interacting with others over this system?

[thesmallesttrickster]

It's quiet fascinating and very useful for making connections that might not have been made otherwise.

It is also good for keeping tabs on family.

[thelifeything]

I'll need to remember that for when John won't tell me things.
Although he's much better at keeping me up to date than my father.

[thesmallesttrickster]

Do you also have a older sibling already attending Hogwarts?

[bev_rage]

shit your that girl i met at the broom cleaning thingy

[thelifeything]

That language must mean you're that girl who bumped into me.

[bev_rage]

i sid said sorry!

[thelifeything]

I don't recall apologies for the things you said about my great grandmother.

[bev_rage]

i just sad said it cause it's true!
my mum taught me bout it

[Voice]

[just1c3w1tch]

Hey! (Hehehe) One of my yearmates happened to see your entry, and said your ink looks like mine. Is this a true thing, or are they lyiiing? [A background voice (presumably the yearmate in question) murmurs an objection.] Oh shush you!

Here's a drawing so you can compare:

[Voice]

[thelifeything]

...That is a drawing?

[Voice]

[just1c3w1tch]

Yes, of a snake!

[Voice]

[thelifeything]

Oh!
I can see the resemblance now that you say it.
Yes, it does look like a snake.
I've never seen one up close though, only in books.

[Voice]

[just1c3w1tch]

Well, you'll see a lot of snakes here! A whole quarter of the student body are snakes. (Hehehehe)
