Camp was okay, minus the lumpy beds and that food fight. Muggle schools don't even do that, it's like something out of a film.

Papa said that I can't go to London with him while the muggles do their sports event. He's going on business and thinks I'll get lost in the crowds. Having muggle parents can be frustrating because I can't ask him to take me to the Quidditch World Cup instead, and just trying to change Pounds to Galleons is hard enough.

I don't think I can stretch out what's left of my homework either, it's almost complete. I could just spy on the neighbors.

Why not just annoy Barton?

[actuallyspeakslatin]

It's not like he lives across the lane and we have two tin cans connected with a string to talk to each other.

[arrogantalloy]

Yeah, because it's not like we don't have owls or bus timetables. Or anything.

[actuallyspeakslatin]

I got in a fight with a bloke the last time I took a bus, I'm not allowed to travel that way by myself. He deserved it though.

[arrogantalloy]

I can lend you a driver?

[actuallyspeakslatin]

No, that's all right. My dad has a bicycle in the shed he isn't using.

[arrogantalloy]

Well then it's even easier to annoy Clint then, if you have a bicycle.

[actuallyspeakslatin]

I'll go see him, but I won't be annoying him.

[arrogantalloy]

Why not, he's really fun to annoy.

[actuallyspeakslatin]

He's fun for you to annoy. I don't need to do that to have fun with him.

[arrogantalloy]

Everyone is fun for me to annoy. And I can have fun with people without annoying them.

[actuallyspeakslatin]

You're right, you have fun when he annoys you.

[arrogantalloy]

Why would anyone have fun with him annoying them?

[actuallyspeakslatin]

I have fun when he annoys me.

[arrogantalloy]

Do I even want to know how you do?

[actuallyspeakslatin]

I annoy him back. What do you think I do? Try and pass on cooties?

[arrogantalloy]

Passing on cooties could annoy him. He's not a man of the world like me.

[actuallyspeakslatin]

Men of the world like getting cooties?

[arrogantalloy]

Well I know I like cooties.

[actuallyspeakslatin]

I'll get you that for all future gifts.

[arrogantalloy]

I hope they're your cooties.

[actuallyspeakslatin]

I don't want to crush your hopes, so keep the dream alive.

[arrogantalloy]

You're just too sweet to me, you know that right.

[actuallyspeakslatin]

I can't be mean all of the time.

[arrogantalloy]

I was starting to wonder, at least when it came to me.
