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.

Comments

Yeah. Whatever.
Those are only words.
You can't care about someone you don't know.




But no. You can't eat the internet.
It's an electronic network of information sharing.

[thelifeything]

I can still offer my sympathies and condolences.
I can't care about someone I don't know, but I can care about someone I just met.
I meant no ill will.


What on earth does electronic mean?
Is that like the thing cousin John uses to watch movies?

[givesyouaboner]

Okay.
I guess I should give you the benefit of the doubt and accept your apology.
You didn't know.

You know lightning? It's basically the same thing, only harnessed and rerouted to make appliances function.
Yes! Exactly.
He'd watch them on a television.

[thelifeything]

Can we start over?
I'm afraid I don't have any friends my age and I would like to enter Hogwarts without enemies.

How fascinating!
You know, if I didn't know John was raised Muggle I would have though they were fairy tale creatures.
That's how my father makes them seem at least.

[givesyouaboner]

Yeah, that'll work.
I don't exactly care to have to deal with that either.


It's the reverse, here.
I had no idea that magic was a thing until I received my letter.

[thelifeything]

Then it's agreed.
We'll forget about this little debacle.
Yes?

Well I suppose our worlds have more in common than I thought.

[givesyouaboner]

I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.

Maybe.
How do you manage without electricity for lighting?

[thelifeything]

Excellent.

We have spells, silly!
And candles for lighting.
Anything you can think of there's a spell for it.

[givesyouaboner]

That doesn't seem adequate at all, to be honest.
Wouldn't the poor lighting hurt your vision?

[thelifeything]

Well I do have glasses.
And father will read with me using a Lumos spell when I go to bed.

[givesyouaboner]

A lamp would probably do better, depending upon the intensity of that spell.

[thelifeything]

Father uses the highest Lumos spell available.Lumos Maxima.
It's quite bright.

[givesyouaboner]

Do all of the spell names sound redundant?
