Roxy gave me the most orange kitten ever. She's really cute and fluffy.
I named her Orangina.
Last night she slept on my pillow by Lil' Cal. When school starts, she's coming with me too.

Enough to know that my research is conclusive. Even factoring in a margin for error, statistics show with 98% accuracy that there is no one cooler than Dave Strider.

It's fine. I'm simply not accustomed to compliments from people outside of family.

[spangledplan]

Not even yourself? You could be cooler than him.

Well you are pretty young. I don't think you get out much, do you?

[givesyouaboner]

No, I don't think so.

I haven't had much of a reason to.

[spangledplan]

You never know that.

Well now you'll be at school and have plenty of reason.

[givesyouaboner]

I would never want to be cooler than him.
I couldn't handle it.

There's that, yes. Even when I was going to school prior to this, that was pretty much it.

[spangledplan]

Are you sure? I think you could.

A Muggle school? They're so different from Hogwarts, but still so similar.

[givesyouaboner]

I'm pretty sure he handles people a lot better than I do.

Yeah. I'm hoping the courses at Hogwarts are more challenging than the ones I've already taken.

[spangledplan]

Well you're a lot younger than he is. You have time.

They can be. Magic can be rather finicky unlike other sciences.

[givesyouaboner]

Maybe. I can't predict the future.

That works. In the end I just stopped going to school during the last month.
It wasn't much of a loss because it was boring anyway.

[spangledplan]

You could take divination classes in third year.

Let's hope magic proves more interesting.

[givesyouaboner]

What.

Seriously. Otherwise I might have to just quit life.

[spangledplan]

Divination? Predicting the future. Things like that.

Or just find a new thing to do that's never been done.

[givesyouaboner]

Hm. I'll consider it. I don't know much about the courses they offer for the upper years.

Like building magical robots?

[spangledplan]

You'll get a list of them in second year.

Now that would be interesting.

[givesyouaboner]

What do I do if this proves to be too easy as well?

I want to try doing it...

[spangledplan]

You keep trying. You'll find the perfect thing soon enough.


I think you should. I don't know anyone else who's even thought of that.

[givesyouaboner]

If everything is too easy, do you think the teachers will make it harder? My old teachers got mad when I asked them to, but they did it anyway.

I hope no one steals my idea before I get a chance. I really like to build things so I think it would be awesome. Plus, if you combine magic and electricity, it'd only get more awesome, right?

[spangledplan]

The teachers here can be like any muggle teacher. Some are nice, and others aren't at all.

If they do they won't do it half as well. Sometimes it's not being the first that matters, but being the best at what you choose as you can be.

[givesyouaboner]

In that case, I can only hope that I end up getting professors that I don't end up hating.
I'm already not thrilled about some of the courses, so I'll have to wait and see.

Very true.
This won't be a problem. I always strive for excellence.

[spangledplan]

What courses would those be?

Good luck!

[givesyouaboner]

Flying, specifically.

_{[The fact his uncle is the teacher doesn't do anything to ease his recently developed fear of flying.]}

[patrioticspells]

Flying isn't that bad. It's only for your first year, anyways.

[givesyouaboner]

I'm trying to opt out of it.

[patrioticspells]

Are you afraid of heights?

[givesyouaboner]

_{[There's a few hesitation marks here, because he hasn't admitted this or even explained why it became a thing at all.]}




Not of heights themselves.
It's the flying.


And falling.
