M hm m hmm. It's nice to sit down and well meet all of
you. Sorry, it hasn't happened sooner. I wanted to meet all of
you after what had happened, and Harry mentioned that you would all be well,
you'd all be around, and I thought it would be a good time
to meet. Did we do something wrong, arrest? Do you play volleyball
too? Uh? No, No, and no, Harry and head Mistress
McGonagall have explained what they believe to be a curse once. I've been looking
into it and doing some research on my own. And sorry, but do
you have a special library that you did because you're the minister? Do you
have a special like a super restricted section library? Yes, of course,
can I visit? Back on topic, so the tower, No one is
blaming any of you for that, I hope you're aware. Yeah, then
who is getting blamed? No one yet? Oh what if what if someone
cursed the Wanes to do a spell because maybe they knew that something might happen
to you in the tower, or they knew that maybe a bad guy was
coming, and so they were like, let's make sure that the wand can
do a spell that can explode the bad guy. Maybe that ritt thing and
the ones we're both part of the same plan. They were supposed to work
in together in conjunction to maybe make us think that we did the spells more
or something or something else. Oh, they were working against each other.
Though, I feel like it doesn't have to be the same person. I
mean, obviously it has to be the same person. But what if there
was somebody who wanted us to come to harm and then they had this elaborate
plant in general wand and do something with them and then blow up the tower
and do all of these things. And then what if somebody else found out
about that plan and they were like, oh, well, I can't do
anything about it. I can't stop this, I can't change anything. But
what I can do is make them confused, which means they won't go on
the day, which means they won't go to the doab, which means they
won't get ah ran about the time when we were organizing where we would go.
The only thing I can think of it real strange was that, well,
remember Barney got pushed by something and invisible, and then like Gail was
around him a lot, and she was asking me lots of questions and asking
about me too. But I bet Gail's she's only a thirtyear. I don't
think she could do one curses and ancient things, but she might be speaking
to somebody else who could. They had Mistress asked Olive to keep an eye
on a student, so it doesn't mean that another triends with Ashley Wizard could
have not asked Gail to keep an eye on someone. What are you thinking,
Hermione? Well, I was thinking that maybe you could give them some
special instruction. Oh that would be lovely, that is, if you're all
up for it. I mean you'll still have to worry about your normal schoolwork.
No, we can do both. We yeah, we can totally,
one hundred percent, Hermione. I'm not a teacher, Harry. You did
a wonderful job with all of us, that's right away. Are we starting
tonight or do you know what? I think I could really use some help,
actually, h Look, look, I could help with tasting, but
I'm not so good at king stuff, and Rosie's pretty good wrong, And
you know, if you came along you could probably help what it could teach.
It could teach Rosie cooking stuff also that that could help us bolster vitalitly
with snacks. Well Hermione's obviously busy. I mean she probably can't even stay
for much longer. Really, you can start putting my potions with food.
Now you've experienced that. I watching over you, and then I can get
a job at the ministry, and in minister we could go to the library.
I could figure it out that maybe I can use a duster pretty handily
if you would need a library cleaner. Plu's wrong. You could actually have
a reason to wear that hideous mask. Uh well, I find the would
have soumed that Harry would have been doing this, I suppose. Uh well,
maybe we can show off some spells so you can see where we are
at. Great idea, wicked, but I have a I am okay,
let's go first, anyone I'll try. I'll try maze amazing, You're amazing.
I'm gonna go with player two. I'm gonna try. Okay, I'm
ready. Harry's waving the wand around. He looks at you and he spins
one of the targets with the wand you see like you see like one of
the one of the wizard or which targets spin around draw the wand towards you
be careful. It could be anywhere in Sandio with the end of my the
end of my wand catches fire and I run around the room trying to blow
it out. No no, no, no, okay, soop I put
it in cub I need that violace. You would come in handy, n
It's all right. It happens to all of us. Don't don't worry,
trade, It's okay. There's plenty of chances. I said, live next
to easy. Hey, uh, you're standing easy m hm. I kind
of like pat her on the back and give her a look like you got
this. You got this all right? Everybody, good job. It's really
intense. But that's that's what it was like when we ran into the real
thing. I guess. So it makes sense. Do we have to stop
already? Well? Fright, So it's getting light. We join our students
today as they're returning back to their common rooms before curfew, right before the
groups split up, the head to their common rooms. I want to know
what the conversation's like and how everybody's feeling after that session. Is anyone else
sweaty? Is it just me? It's really warm? Saw the castle today
it's the sun or something. Do y'all not have like air conditioning in the
castle? What in Harry Potter and run Wesley just he just like a private
lesson. And it's crazy, Bartie exactly that it's crazy that they would do
that when it's not even their specialty. It's I think, I mean,
you can be very good at something even if it's not your specialty. Like
I thought that maybe we'd be outside, like maybe weight training, doing some
sort of like football sort of situation. I think they're still They're still wizards
though, and they went to the Olympics. Okay, that makes sense.
Different, different guys, different when it comes to specialties. Though. That's
Clam's wheelhouse a special special ty. That was really good. I was good.
That was good. Okay, we'll live. Hm hmm is it?
Is it? The sweat? Mhm? Okay? Would would anyone like to
practice a bit more tonight? I also have a question for you all of
I don't know how you did it, but kid, you teach me how
you can make a yes sound so much like I know, mm hmm that
is some magic if that's a pretty cool track and I don't know that smell?
Is that a compliment. Oh, it's it was my very attempt to
let you know someone helped tag tag it. Okay, I don't know what's
happening. Because you like how Olive handled herself and you appreciate the way that
she phrased her response and you would like to learn how to do that because
you admire it. It's a compliment, right, Alex. Oh, I
actually think that it was that it felt like you were not saying the thing
that you actually felt. No mean, I didn't Olive like Oli was like,
yeah, things are good, And I think Alex was trying to say
that it didn't feel like things were good and that anyone thanks to be good?
Yeah, can we can? We can come across at all. Sorry,
I'm not good. I'm practicing my god, thanks claim. But what
are we going to practice? Like if you wanted to practice spell where would
we practice them? And would I be safe with myself? Yes, you
would be safe for myself. I don't know if you'll love it be safe
from that, Rosie, because it's a hazard with a wand it's a miracle
even in this clos object. It's fine, enthusiasts. I'll get there one
day. I just think based on what happened at the the shop, Uh,
the the not the not where we intended to use flue powder to go
to shop. I see, we should be prepared. Part of being prepared
as being you know, rested, so we should we should rest and not
being in detention for being a past curfew. Yeah, it is almost curfew.
But you can't practice probably rules through imaginary and so it's the government.
So I'm happy to practice, but you can practice in your common room.
Me and Barney practice stuff all the time, but just not dangerous stuff.
But it's just any any So, I was reading books about magical development over
the summer, and one of the things that they said is any continued practice
at the mastery of magic is practice at the mastery of all magic. So
if you practice mastery of safe mad, do you understand it's like the pathway
between your brain and your thoughts and making it happen that gets wines grooved into
it so that it's easier. You see now when people walk on the grass
and then a path appears for doing that. But I was not understanding what
you're saying. But now I get it. Here we go. I got
that practice it gets easier. But everything gets easier, not just the specific
spell that you're practicing. You know, never seemed to get any better.
But I'm like you said, I'm sure I'll walk on that grass until it's
dead, which is actually terribly sad. If you think about it like that,
you can practice badgering sometimes it's just nice to feel the grass between your
toes. Those that's true. It's called grounding. It's it's a technique.
People, Do you think that's that's a good point, though. The badgering
spell might be a good place to start, Rosie. Yeah, that's one
of my favorite. I picked it because Hubble buffs badgers. Wait a minute,
what, Ernie, did you fart? No? No, he's going
to defense against the dog hearts tomorrow. Oh god, well hold on,
I wrote it on my hand. What it's doing. Oh, I can't
participate in doing what we be. We've got double practice for that intensity tomorrow.
We defense against non kinds on today. But does anyone have it tomorrow?
What is tomorrow? Monday? Sunday night? Right now? I have
defense against the dark arts tomorrow. We also have defense against the long Arts
tomorrow. It's the start of dueling, Rosie. There are spells that we
can practice that you can use for dueling that won't be violent. You can
still be a pacifist. We can just practice the spells that you could use
in a duel. Okay, okay, Well I've written down some of my
favorite spells. One of them is washing up, the washing up spells.
Do you think I could use that in dueling? You know, I don't
think so, But I think it's good that you're getting your creative juice is
flowing. It's good that you like a spell at all. Okay, I've
been practicing achio because when I'm laying in bed, I could grab a snack.
That's great. I suppose you could yell, I'm gonna make you clean
your act up before you cast it, like a superhero. Yeah, like
a superhero. And then if they have any spoons left over from the cup
of tea they made but didn't put them in the sink, and then they'll
start getting a wet pocket. You go first. In terms of pacifism,
is the line just you don't want to do anything to harm anyone. You
don't want you want to get hurt, right, Just kind of thinking that
if I had to do dueling, maybe we could do some sort of distraction
or some sort of like fighting them but with john. But if you stop
them from trying to hurt you without hurting them, does that work? Yes?
I think we should practice expelli mus personality. Imagine why don't you try
pretrificus totalis? Oh? Oh, and then they wouldn't be able to move
or feel the ground underneath their feet like a statue like cle they be able
to feel, They be able to feel the ground there. They just wouldn't
be able to hurt you. And then you can tell them, hey,
we don't have to fight. You can give them a good talking to and
tell them that you're nice, put a cookie in their pocket, and then
leave. Oh but what if you want? Okay, try it on me.
I volunteer old cookie cookie, but the one with the least amount of
chocolate chips on a little note as well, to tell them that they can
be nicer. You smell and have you tried being kind? Yeah? Okay,
I'm ready yoga. I don't think we should be practicing this in the
halls though, as it's getting close to curfew, maybe we just go back
inside the room. I think that's a bad idea. Well, I just
do it here, It's okay, I don't know. Why. Don't we
mind going back to the room, But then we'll be late for curfew and
then yeah, we'll have to stay in the room whole night in order to
not get caught slumber party? What if those like spells that check is in
the rooms nights? Yeah? Pre thanks do that? Did you check checks?
Have you seen them walk around before at night and things? Maybe that's
what they do, Rosie? Can I have a cookie? Oh? Yeah?
Yeah? Yeah, this one has the most chocolate chips. I'm going
to throw it on the ground unless you stop me. Wait, I've never
felt so much anger before. Why would you do that? I made those
this morning for driving Dallas. Jesus Lord? What year is that? Trivia
challice is a first year spell? Yes? Oh nice? Okay, course
too. You're casting it against Alex, so whatever your relationship is with Alex
at the point. At this point as well, an eleven, Rosie casts
the spell, Rosie, what happens? I freeze up and my palms are
very sweaty, and I just frantically yelled patrifics to Talis and Alex freezes in
place with a cookie in his hand. I am so so I'm sorry,
but I am going to take that cookie and put it in your pocket.
Okay, how do I stop it? You got him? Yeah, Alex,
he's breathing, right, everyone, he's breathing, Alex blink. If
you can hear us, he can't point. He's pertrificus talus is okay,
that's all right, we can under it. But it just means you did
the spell, right. You did a great job, Rosie, I did
a spell. You did a spell. Who I'm gonna cookie as a reward,
not your cookie out here's a different becaues it taste like more stale?
Because this is no I grabbed another cookie. I'm not stealing Alex as I
could never that was in his pocket. It's just probably an old cookie.
So yeah, it's stale. So if anyone could teach me how to undo
this, wait, you know what with your hand like that, Alex hip
by Okay, now I can undo it, right, I hope. So
you could use finite and cantatom it run down after a little while. No,
I can't stand here and watch that happen. Is anybody good? It's
phanite and cant I would love to watch you do it to learn all right,
Am I rolling with my relationship with Alex as well? Okay? Or
would this be with my relationship with Rosie? Because I'm doing it, this
is Alex. Okay. Uh so she's gonna point her wand directly at Alex's
raised hand ane in cantatum, are you are you okay? I feel like
I just ran a marathon and your in can tatom was very finiti and rather
in can Tatum. Thanks the cookies in your pocket, Please don't put it
on the floor. I wasn't gonna. I just knew that it was the
only thing I could get to make you act in a sudden manner. Oh
well, at worked, that was really smart. Okay. Well that's a
good Well, that's well, that's good. Okay. We we should we
should go though, because we were running out of time. But you can
do spells, just so you can see that you can when you need to.
I wasn't hard. I feel fine and good. I have a cookie
now and actually better than I was a little while ago. And I got
to see you do a great spell. So that's all positive. So you
can use that during dealing. Okay, cool, cool, Okay, problem
solved. It's a victory. Fun fun, Yeah, because because then we
get to see the real impact of our spells, you know, And by
fun, I mean like, well, it would be good to have a
real understanding of what we're doing. It's different when it's not a target,
right, Oh yeah, in that they're alive, man, don't worry though.
The teachers will have safety measures in place. So yeah, are they
the same safety measures they use for hogwarts normally, Because I'll be honest,
they're not really up to the standards for me at the moment. Okay,
that's a good point, but I think it's fine. They have special special
dealing counter helpers, special measures. Okay, yeah, cool. No,
I trust the school kind of as much as I trust the government. I
hope no one patrificus totelist is me that someone might do beforehand? You should?
You should? I am either. So I'm gonna not know. I'm
not going to say anything. I'm actually just going to swallow the fear that
I just had and then pretend it didn't happen and then not bring anything up
to anyone, and then just hope that it doesn't work out that way,
and when it doesn't, I'll be really relieved. And if it does,
I'll be totally vindicated in my anxiety. You're getting well, I mean we
let it slide here. Yeah, there's the way it ends. Where did
you think who you are? Rosie? Honestly I didn't know. You could
have told me that we were in a specifically wizarding highland and I would have
just believed you. I was like, really distracted with the snacks on the
train every year. Do you know what the national animal of Scotland does?
I'll give you. I'll give you a clue, cow, spider leg,
unicorn, it's really yeah, well technically you're holding a piece of the national
animal. But how do mongols know? How about unicorns? Well? Have
unicorns? Yeah totally, but we have whaled, We have whaled haggis,
and I bet you the wizards don't know about those. What's that? Does
it look like a unicorn for it? No? Yeah, it's got two
short legs in the front and two long legs in the back, so it's
easier to run up the hells. I'm gonna kind of slap Alex on the
arm and be like you can't lie or hers she'll believe you. I want't
the hard way. That's a joke. It's that's a joke that Scottish people
play on everyone. When it comes to Haggis, they people that Hagis is
an animal. It is, I mean, it is an animal, but
but it's an animal that doesn't exist. This is what happened with the tube.
You know how it's like cows and then beef are like two different things,
so that people don't have to think about eating cows. When they're eating
beef, they can just say that, oh, I'm eating beef without having
to think about cute cows I eat them. Is that what's kind of like
that? Yeah, it's kind of like that. I guess I think that's
why they do that. I mean that it was just a name for the
food version of the cow. But now I'm understanding that it's manipulation. Almost
everything is Yeah, I'm sorry, what wait about it? Like that whole
tree? We can pork and good pigs. Ye, you'll never see it.
Can somebody take me back to the common room? I think I'm gonna
cry? I mean, we don't. Let's stop this conversation. I take
you back? Are we not all walking the common rooms in different places?
I mean, we could give you, give you some give you some space
as quietly as possible to bark Ice. Alex said that that I looked really
fast earlier. So maybe I'm what are you express bring if I'm bringing bank?
Serious? Okay, what's all right? I'm racing Bartie back to the
common room. Please take poking quiet. No, I can't. Oh my
butt, my button's broken. Rick nine. Uh, you race each other
back to the Hufflepuff common room, and it is, uh, it's a
pretty epic race. Uh, Like Rosie's like really trying. I really take
For some reason, when when I see Rosie run, I picture Phoebe and
friends when she's doing the running, you know, and she's just flailing her
arms wildly. I think that Rosie has a very similar body type to Phoebe.
She's like very long and gangly also, so it's perfect, absolutely,
So it's a it's like an epic it's like an epic race. Barney's actually
like trying to trying to catch up with you, and you both are running
past like the great hall doors and you rush through the kitchens and there's some
like floating dishes and stuff that are flying all about, and yeah, yeah,
there's probably a few people that are just kind of cleaning up, and
you sort of there's like a bunch of dishes that are floating like right in
front of you. And Barney's like pointing wildly, but he can't he doesn't
have the wind out because he's running and he's trying not to put the text
up and he's pointing wildly and he's like ducks. And the plates are like
right in front of you, Rosie, you rush and and see them just
in time. Are you quick or quiet? Oh? I'm quick? Okay,
you're quick. Uh So what I think happens then, is you see
the plates and whatnot ahead of you. Uh, how are you quick through
this situation as opposed to quiet? I'm gonna use my long legs and my
advantage and lunge while running into a deep squat underneath the plates and then pop
up on the other side. Okay, you do, And we see like
some of the plates like spinning like you might have just barely clipped them with
the top of your head as you rush past. And then there's just this
like clink cling glinkling as all the like the china of the plates sort of
like collides with each other, and uh, Barney is bobbing and weaving trying
to dodge after the plates, and both of you arrive at the same time
at the at the oak barrels. There's a tie, but it was a
good race. I think you won. No, we like literally slid up
at the exact same time. It is insane. It's like a photo finish,
like in that movie Shamoo. I think I think Lotti is looking at
us a little angrily. Oh, I got this, don't even worry about
it. Sorry, Lottie. I will do double kitchen duty tomorrow. Sorry
about that. I think he's supposed to be practicing when Harry and Run and
the rest tomorrow. Yeah, but in the morning, I'll do it.
In the morning, Lottie, I'll be I'll get up really early. It'll
be fine. Yeah, good night, good night, nice nice spell in
today, Bud. You didn't mean me well? Oh thanks? Uh did
I? Yeah? You didn't really well, you hint a bunch of Italians
and you know then there was some liquids that were flying around and you did
really well not to think about them and stuff. Oh thanks. I think
I'm gonna like deep dive into the spells later and maybe try to learn some
spells that will you know, just like bubble me in case there is water,
and I can be like bubble boy. I don't know who bubble boy
is. Maybe he lives in a bubble sounds pnichy thick. So good night,
you know, good night, Hey Barney. I was just thinking,
you know, later we're supposed to be able to learn how to cast spells
without her wand it'd be really cool if you could cast her talking spell without
your wand and then while you were rasing me you could talk at the same
time. Yeah. I thought you could talk to a professor about that.
Yeah, that would be great. Sick I will see you later. Yeah,
so jeeve mm hmmm one a half of those cookie? Sure if oh
Bartie, you can even talk at the same time? Sorry, keep going,
Yeah I can. So cool. So you know how like we were
going to have permission to go to hogs met this year? Well maybe,
uh, you know, like we could go together sometime. Yeah, I
figure we will go, Like, figure, do you have any water?
I figure we would all like go together. Hold that cooking really weird.
I figured we'd all go together sometime. Okay, cool, it'll be fun.
I think that there's a candy shop over there. Right, yeah,
okay, okay, good night night, see you later tomorrow. Bye,
Barney, I have a good day. By night. Sleep well, don't
let the government fighte Barney walks off. The rest of you heading back to
your common rooms. We join. I think, uh, mazy, Clement,
Olive and Lily as they head back to the gryffindor common room. So
the same as your home or like completely different, Lily, well, not
exactly the same. I think that no dad tries to maybe he's a little
bit easier on me. I don't know, well, like at home or
like today, well, like just at home, I guess. Oh,
I can't imagine what would feel like if my dad came to try and teach
us stuff. I mean he's cool, he's great and everything. Please don't
get me wrong, like he's a wonderful man. But I just also like
he's my dad. Isn't that weird? Yes, very weird? Oh,
but at the same time it was kind of nice now mm hmmm why so
clam Yeah, uh, how's it going good? How how's it going with
you? Yeah? Yeah, fine, good? Great? Good spells early
year? Yeah, thanks, I mean a hard situation, right. Spells
aren't really my strong point most of the time, which is embarrassing because you
know, I'm supposed to have known them since I was little and all of
that. But well yet, But are you great, Maizie, Yeah,
you're really good. Tomorrow they could be your strong suit. I think tomorrow
five pm, I'm expecting a big gust of wind of strong suit change.
I mean, if I could have a broom maybe, but then again,
actually maybe not, because I haven't. You haven't really done much coditch this
year. Do you think you get You can get a wand that's made out
of a broom? Is that a thing like broom stick? Wand? Well,
I mean some of the some of the types of wood are the same
types of wood. But I don't know if you could like use this use
a broom to make wand if that's what you mean, you still need a
core from something else. But I don't see why you couldn't you know,
if your broom broke or got too old, why you couldn't use the wood?
You could put a dragon heartstring in it and then it would be like
a combination of last year's dragon broom adventure. I'm with my Bob as well.
That would look amazing. Wow, that would be metal. No,
it would be wood. Oh sorry, metal is muggle music. It's a
genre of muggle music. It's like loud guitars. It's like dunna dunna,
dunna, dunna. Duh dun dun you know, like it's really and it's
called metal. But you can also use it to describe things that are like
metal, Like they're like cool, like hardcore cool. You know, are
the instruments metal, No, they're made of wood, so you cool it
metals even though it's not metal. Maybe it's because you know now that I'm
thinking about it. Maybe it's because like some metal kind of sounds like if
you took two pieces of metal and scrape them against each other. That sounds
howrible. Yeah it's cool. I'll play some for you later, right,
I give all of this like panicked. Look, that sounds lovely. Yeah,
it's fun. You know what's cool about metal is that you get to
like scream and let all your rage out, you know, like it's just
like ah, and then you can just be like ah. So like at
concerts you can go and then you can I've never been in the mosh pit.
It's called the pit or the wash pit. And you can go in
and then everyone dances really really hard and you I mean, you can get
hurt there because sometimes like a stray elbow will just kind of like fly and
like break a nose or whatever. It's metal. Why would they throw you
into a pit. Why would you want to listen to metal scraping against metal?
Is there a way to get out? I've heard that this sometimes use
pits to protect, like, you know, the homes and stuff. Doesn't
sound like it's very protective. I think maybe you ask me. I think
maybe it's like a you gotta see it to believe it and understand sort of
thing. Oh my gosh, this is so exciting. I'm gonna make you
go to a metal concert with me, and later I'm gonna show you and
I'll recreate the mashpit for you and it'll be super fun. We can all
just stand there and kind of like push each other and be like, you
know, like it would be fun, but like our noses will remain unbroken,
right, I mean, if you're lucky Kenny who students welcome back,
Oh, cutting it close to curfew. Lady Magnolis, Hello, dear,
so you look like you're having a very interesting conversation. What's to say here
about metal scrapy? Have you ever heard metal music? Lady Magnolis? I
believe I heard once someone grating spoons on a washboard. That was the most
metal music I've ever heard. Cool. Well, listen, I'm gonna also
show you. I think you really like it because there are some metal singers
who have like crazy range and they can be like, ah, like hey,
all these crazy notes, it's like totally you're jams. What you're saying
is something like this, yeah, but more like you know, like you
should, well I'll open the doors, so we should start a band,
and I like kind of like give her a light punch. I'm sure I
could get some of the portraits together. Wouldn't you like to hear it if
we get some of the other people? Yeah, I hope you're prepared to
be in a band with Lady Magnolis, because otherwise we are never hearing the
end of it. Well, I mean, if she does, like a
good job, then I'll take anyone, you know, if she's good at
it. If she's good at it, yeah, she's good at being in
a metal band. I mean you by what would the band name be?
Mm hmm? Lady may mm hmm may Doless. No, that's not It's
got to be something with your name, Clem my name. You'd be the
lead Lady mac Noless would just be there to back you up the rest of
the portraits. No, no, I'm in the Dark Creatures. Ah.
You like the Class, That's true. I do like the Class, and
Dark Creatures is kind of like a metal topic, you know, like it's
a lot of darkness and darkness. I can make T shirts cool. We
could make some of those hats that like you made for Quidditch last year,
Olive, No, you know what, never mind, I couldn't on them.
I couldn't be in a metal band like I. First of all,
I don't know how to play guitar and also I don't know how to how
to scream yet. But maybe one day. Well whenever you're already, your
number one fans are here to support with hats on cool shirts. Cool.
Does everyone feel ready for tomorrow? Uh? What is what is ready?
I mean we'd ever be ready? Really? Yeah? I don't. I
don't know if I've ever been ready for anything ever in my life. Actually,
now that I think about it, Wow, I've never felt ready I'm
sure you'll be fine, you know, in class stars. Yeah, I
think it'll go okay. I think you're gonna do great. I mean,
as long as as long as being in duels it doesn't catapult us back to
a worse memory of last yer and we end up a pile on the floor.
Is that what you think is going to happen. That won't happen.
I don't think that's what's going to happen. No, because we're things are
different now, you know. And first of all, it's just other students.
It's not like full grown adults and a dragon, you know. And
we're there to learn how to do it, not have to already know it.
So it's okay if it doesn't go super super well or easy. It's
okay if it's not perfect and well. We don't have to worry about our
lives being at stake, so that's also a big plus my book. I'm
I'm just going to go stop getting ready for bed, so I must see
you in there up there. Yeah, me too. I think it's bed
time for me too. Pay cool. Yeah, I'll stick around for a
little while. You wanna tackle it? Sure? Cool? Can I get
up and start being stuff. Olive just kind of silently shuffles up the stairs.
Olive walks off. Mazy do you do the same, Yeah, I
walk off, but I give Olive the space, so Olive goes first,
and then I'm like, I think I'd probably need to go to so it's
it's not in dandem. The space is there to go individually. Olive and
Mazy walk up the stairs. Plam. Yeah, are you sure you all
right? What do you mean? Well, you just I don't know.
You seemed a little anxious. I'm good, you are right. Oh,
I'm fine, You're gonna do great tomorrow. Well, I've had a lot
of practice with two older brothers. Yeah, and it seems like your dad
is pretty good at these spells, defensive spells and stuff probably runs in the
family at very least. Thanks. Just remember if you want to talk about
it, you know you can. Ah, I don't want to spill my
crab bucket on you. You know, I think if I took one out
and then another one, I'd probably just end up knocking it over on the
whole floor would be covered in crabs. How bad would that be? It's
okay? Yeah? Uh? You ever just feel though that like the feelings.
Of having to feel the feelings is just worse than feeling the feelings themselves.
That didn't make any sense. Let me say that acknowledging the feelings and
saying them out loud sometimes is more annoying and more awful than just having them
so and I'm sure they'll go away eventually. Well, I mean, I
think we all feel that way sometimes. But you know, if if you
know, one of swaves isn't like he isn't doing well or isn't feeling okay,
I think we all want to know, and we all want to help,
right Like if Mazie or or Alex or Rosie or Olive or me or
Bonnie if we were you know, not feeling well, you'd try to help,
right, for sure? I think though that Like, actually, I
don't know if I told you this, Lily. So I have a therapist
here. I started going to therapy when I was not at Wizard School,
and it was shortly after my parents passed away. My nan had me start
therapy and it sucked. At first, I hated it, but then it
became something that I just needed, like brushing my teeth or good food.
So I have one here and I'm not saying that I don't need to talk
sometimes or that my feelings are too much for people. But I'm a little
bit more taken care of than everyone else, I guess, and I have
the space to worry elsewhere. Does that make any sense? Yeah? But
you can never I don't know, you can never have enough sport? Really,
you know it's not a bad thing. Yeah, that's true. All
I'm saying, Clem, I mean, I just I don't want you to
feel like you have to keep it all bottled up, you know. Yeah?
But then how would I have the inspiration to write my metal songs for
my new band? That's the real question. Lily smiles. I'm sure whatever
you set your mind to, you'll do really well in you too, Lily.
Okay, I'm gonna go to bed. Now. Are you going to
stay up? Are you coming? Yeah? I'm gonna stay up a little
bit longer and then I'll be up. Okay. Can I give you a
hug? Yeah? She gives you a hug. I huk back. Can
I good night? Sleep sleep tight? Don't let the wizard bugs bite sounds
horrible? Yeah? Bugs set are wizards? Tiny wizard bugs? Why would
they found the ones okay, good night, good night. Lily walks up
to bed. I'm gonna just pull out my my little like notebook and uh
and just spend spend like maybe half an hour writing and then go up to
bed. Okay, we switch on over to our raven clause. Alex,
you have already made it into raven Claw common room. Barney isn't here yet.
I'm sitting on my bed, staring at the door, waiting for him
to come in, staring at the door. Suddenly the door creaks slowly open.
Ye, Barney walks in. Okay, So it was your race?
Muh do your race? You're you were you were dashing? Uh? Are
you okay? Mum? I'm fine. I guess that debate earlier and I
said to all him, hey, how can you make a yes? And
so much like no do you kind of doing? That thing did not go
well well. I tried to ask Rosie to go with me to hogs me
muh hum, but she thought I just meant with the whole group, and
Barney just flops forward onto the bed. Okaree and what about other interactions?
So who won the race? I remember? Oh, come on, who
wanted did you lose in your embarrassed or saying I brought him a little better?
Did you end? And she was upset or did she win in eure
upset? I don't. I thought I did really good with the flowers a
few days ago. And then when I trying to talk, it felt like,
yeah, well I used the one to talk, but it felt like
my tongue was still all tied, like in my your brain tongue was tied.
Yeah, ah, I need more information about So you started racing to
the huff above common room, and who got there first? We kind of
got the together. Oh that's good. That's like a sign from the fate
of running. What I mean, that's the way Rosie Hills see like over
are a perfect match. We run at the same speed. Imagine that in
her voice and tell me that's not something she would say. I can do
an impression if you like. Hmm, Bernie, we run at the same
speed. Now, okay, So also I'm good at stopping to okay,
And you got there, and then what happened, Well, there were plates
in a way floating because they were cleaning. Rosie did this really cool lunch
thing under the plates, and okay, probably yoga related. And then Lantie
sort of looked at both of us, what is scary? Like she was
going to throw them at us? And then she didn't, though, and
Rosie apologized, and Lati didn't really look any different. And then I tried
to say, would you Well I didn't say it, but she I mean,
uh, that's that's okay. Do you want a cookie? I still
have the one? Who does they gave me? Did she gives you a
cookie? I? Uh, if I eat a cookie right now, then
it'll just make me think about it even more. She did give you a
cookie. She always gives me cookies, that's true. She does give lots
of people's cookie. I'm just trying to get as many data points as possible
to extract. So if she thought then it was as you meant everyone,
Did you go what about just the two of us? Or was your being
tongue too tired? Well sort of when she said, you know, all
of us, I didn't want it. I don't know. I just felt
like if I said no, just the two of us, then you know,
maybe it would seemed like I didn't want to be with Suave or something.
I don't know. Okay, that makes sense. Well, that's probably
Okay, so we need how do we make it not sound like that?
Uh? I don't know. Mazy had to ask me in the end.
So not the best at that. But I don't think she so that was
just a misunderstanding. It wasn't a rejection. She wouldn't have given you a
cookie if she was rejecting you. Okay, Barney like slowly rotates his body
like so that he's face up on the bed to be really happy to race
you though, or really, I think that's a good saying. Don't you
think it's a good saying? I think it means she also thinks you are
dashing. I still don't understand why it has anything to do with anything.
I don't think I've ever had Rosie care about how fast the one is.
Yes, you, That's the thing. You don't know what Rosie cares about
until you find out what she cares about. And it's almost everything that you
don't think about her caring about what exactly that Rosie in a nutshell? I
think I have to get used to it. Arnie starts to roll himself up
into the sheets like a burrito. Okay, I'm not helping, am I
A h Okay? I I will fix it. What do you mean,
well, what what what if? What if? What if? What if?
What if we do double double a double date? Barney sort of folds
the burrito in half as he sits up. What do you mean, Well,
well, Mazie and I went on our first date and it went terribly
and things blew up. So if we're like, we just need a couple
of people to come with us, and I can say, bar I trust
Barney so much because he's my best friend, and then and we can be
like, and we need Rosie's cheery dispossession because she makes everything happier all the
time, and it's true, and then we all have a picnic and we
just see how it goes. Okay, but I should mm hmm. I
like the idea. It seems good. But yeah, what if everybody's from
soap sort of designs to come as well, Well, that's too many people
for it to be a date. Then that's why we only have two for
moral support. And I also, I'm pretty sure that Rosie is the only
one that doesn't notice the wiggle in your words when you write to her.
He's figure in my words when I write, and Rosie were not all the
time. But no, that's doesn't nice. Is anybody else notice Barnie Bunny
Rosie didn't realize people in Scotland. Oh right, good point. Yeah,
oh yeah, they'll help us figure it out. Cool. And we don't
even have defense and we needn't have doing tomorrow so m hm. So we
don't have duning tomorrow and m hm. Okay, so when we're thinking of
doing this, because I mean we're still being told by what right, maybe
we can do it at lunch the day, Yeah, tomorrow, let's get
it over with, like if I don't like, if we if we think
about things for too long, we'll think ourselves right on out of it.
Barney. Yes, there's some story about a scorpion and a frog or something.
It's in our nature. Okay, yeah, so so that I will
pitch it too, Mazie at breakfast, and we will, we will,
we will go from there, okay, Okay, I will, I will.
I will think about how I can make it awesome as I fall asleep,
and I will wake up with ideas. Okay, I will also sleep.
Mh. I'm good. You'll need you'll need your energy for well you
know yeah that one good? M well h. Well get it out of
your blanket burrito and into your into your PGS proper. Oh right, yeah,
Barney gets ready for bed. Good job, Alex by not mentioning your
little heck on the cheek from Mazy during that entire conversation. M So sleep
you go. And I would like our group to go ahead and roll me
a D six please. And this is food related. Thank you for the
clarification. Whack sure, okay, So let's see here. So I forgot
how to do this. It's just you have a food relationship. I believe
that you can just so this this is okay. So Rosie, Barney,
Alex, and Olive are the first to arrive for breakfast in the morning,
and I think we see the group sort of run into each other just outside
the great hall. Hey, good morning, Hey, good morning. Hm.
I was going to push the door open and go yeah, hi five.
Sorry do you want Do you want to talk to Olive about something?
What you have to talk to me about something? Just let on something?
Is everything? Okay? Yeah? What's wrong? I mean why wouldn't be?
Oh, it's one of those things that have to and then later when
everything comes together. Oh right, I just need I just need I just
I only have energy to ask one person right now, and I can ask
more people later, Okay, Oliver, Okay, that's weird, right,
it's definitely a little weird. I'm re here, Alex. It's a little
bit weird. I know it is, but I'm weird. And just they
thought you'd know that by now. Okay, okay, I can call if
you need me. Yeah, well I'm in Olive. Yeah. Look at
the breakfast this morning and looks really good. It was great. Okay,
what okay, So at this I was just I'm hatching a plan, okay.
And and and I know previously we had some awkwardness around talking about stuff
when I thought you weren't there. I forgot you were there and stuff,
and I don't I didn't talk. It's that to clear it up. So
then I was worried about talking about stuff again in case I hadn't fixed that
yet. Did I fix that? I'm going to be honest, I'm a
bit confused that happens. Maybe me and Barney were talking, we forgot you
were sitting at a table Stelle. Yeah, No, I'm not confused about
that. Bit. I was theft that okay, is that is that is
that fixed or is that still a problem? Did we talk about it?
No, I see that the thing you didn't Okay, if you'd like to
say something about it, Yeah, I didn't. I'm I'm sorry I didn't
even I will see. The thing was at first thought it was what I
was saying, maybe, but I realized what are you saying wasn't really a
bad thing, But it was more that I was talking about you without acknowledging
that you existed within a rather close proximity to me at the time, and
that was rude. So so I'm sorry, thanks, Alex. Yeah,
so I've been wanting to check on that thing. But then also at the
same time, barnon how Barney likes Rosie. Yeah, yeah, well when
he ran off last night, he tried to ask her out, h is
that why you brought? Are they having a breakfast date? No? See,
that's the thing how unless you very specifically state things for Rosie, she
sometimes just takes the broadest possible view of what you're seeing. So so he
said, do you want to go to hogs Meat? And She's like,
I figured we're all gonna go to hogs meat, but he meant you want
to go with just so then I hatched a plan to maybe have him Tiger
along on like a a date with me and Mayzie and with with Rosie and
to look at just look at because me and Mayzie had a date that went
terribly because I almost killed us. I didn't I want almost hurt us.
So then I was thinking, if we did have a day, i'd probably
want someone along just to make sure everything is okay, and it would probably
be Barney because he's my best friend. But then if we're gonna be saying
thinking about how bad things are, Rosie's the person who makes happy things happen
all the time, so she'd be along there be like, well, it's
those two, and he also likes and I think maybe she likes him a
little bit too. She ran off with him, but she raised him and
I don't know if that means anything, but knowing Rosie, it probably does
because it doesn't make sense for most people, but that's Rosie. So then
I was thinking, maybe they could just come along and picnic at lunch today
or something and we'll see how it went. What did you do? You
think that's a terrible Also, you're better for when I can't think. You
can sometimes make me think better. So when I say the things to you
and you say them back, they said her, I want to say them.
So how did that sound. I think that's a good idea to get
them to have some time together. But if Rosie didn't understand that he was
asking her out yesterday, I don't think she's going to understand that this is
a setup. With the way you're doing it now. I thought that maybe
it seemed unfair that she didn't know that it was potentially a date for them.
Wait, but why doesn't Barney just say just to clarify this has brain
tongue got tied? Okay, right? Yeah, I mean what if I
wingmanned? Yeah, I said, Mayzie, I want to have a date
at lunch with you, and but I think maybe Barne should come along because
he's sensible. And but she then because then I'm saying she's not. But
she'll get it right, or maybe she won't, because I sometimes mess things
up and then I say, like Barney doesn't have a day and then and
then it'll be like, oh, Rosie, but just a cheating you know.
I don't know how to do it, but that's how I want to
do it, because I feel like this is why May had to ask me.
You could just tell Mazie what you're planning, and then have Mazie ask
Rosie to be her bus one for safety, and then you ask Barney,
and then if if they like each other, then it'll just happen from there.
Hey, you'll see if they both agree separately and then come together,
and then maybe I'll okay, I'll tag in Mazie. Thank you for organizing
my brain for me, and and and again, I'm sorry for not the
I was so caught up. But I can't get caught up and ignore my
friend's existence. It's a less police. Okay, Okay, so I'm dating
amazing, but I can still hug you, right, that's allowed, that's
within the rules. I don't want to break inys. Okay, thank you,
thank you all of a quick hug. That easy is walking downstairs.
Have fun on the double day. Yeah, just to clarify everybody on normal
table, Alex and Olive just outside the Great Hall doors. Oh hi,
I'm just talking about you. I would like to read all we please,
because this image does not look great to me, and I would like to
know what. Yeah, they were just hugging. They were just hugging.
Something is seriously up here, because this is just not this is not all
of that. I don't know. Am I a relationship with Alan? Is
this a read between the lines? Yeah? Oh yeah for sure. Okay,
An eight, you get to ask one question from the list there.
How are they feeling? Uh? Incredibly sad? I'm just going to give
her a hug. Yeah, I'm just going to give her a hug.
Hi, why you coming at? Alex? Had the idea? I think
you wanted to run past you? You can go check in on Yeah,
I'm going to go inside, but you have a lot to catch up on.
So she's gonna kind of like pat Maisie on the back and then go
into the great hall. What did you do? Is that? Alex?
I? What do you mean? What did you do? Look at Olive?
What did you do for a hug? Why is she so sad?
She seemed happy when I hugged out. I don't think that's a happy You'll
live that. I just asked for some advice and then I apologized. I
apologizing because I ignored her existence by accident, And you think that so that's
what you did? You ignored all lives exists? Why why did you ignore
all of existence? It was an accident. What please explain the accident to
me, Alex. We were all sitting at the table in a great hall,
and everyone got up and left, and then I was like, Barney,
something's coming. Something. I think all of realized because she's like the
detective fat and the magnifying glass and people are figuring out clothes and stuff,
and then all of us like hello there. Because then everyone didn't get up,
just everyone except all they've got up from the table, and she I
think that she was hurted, but I just got so caught up and by
I and my own brain that I didn't see with my eyeballs. Yes,
you didn't see your friend. Correct, And that's why I apologized. And
she seemed happy that I have apologized, and because I practiced it, and
then like specifically said I did this and that that's wrong and I want to
and I'm sorry. I did a good apology. I practiced it, and
she seemed happy that I was, like really happy. She's like smiled,
and and then and then I said, hey, and I'm dating Mazie with
her eyes or with our mouth, with her face. I was just I
just there's and and but and I said, is it okay? Like am
I stole it to hug? We saw it to hug even and I'm dating
because I didn't. I don't think. I don't know if I checked,
and she said, yeah, it's okay. Then I gave you a hug
and she seemed like happy that I was. I gave her hug. And
then so, why so what when you were talking about forgetting about your friend?
What did you you you did something and forgot about Alive? What were
you doing that forgot about I was talking? I was just I was I
was very focused on I'll have the words in my brain and making them come
out of my mouth and into Barney's years, we'll live. Talking about a
date? Then, oh, because I was going to ask you on a
date at lunch. We go on a lunch date today. I feel like
I'm missing something here me three not just me too, meet to you because
it's extra. That's why I said that, sorry, not the time for
trying to be clever. I am also very confused that did I do some
I don't think they did something wrong. I didn't. So you asked,
you left the table and forgot about Olive, and then you asked her about
a date. So the thing with all have happened a while ago, a
few days ago last week when I when I I spoke to Barney at the
table without realizing that Oliver still at the table, and I mentioned Dollar's name
and mentioning someone's name and they're there, like they're not there is not nice.
So I apologize for that today today. But today I apologize for that.
And before that I asked her about well, but Barney tried to ask
Rosie out, and Rosie didn't didn't understand that's what he was doing. And
then so I was trying to help Barney. And when sometimes when I can't
get things straight in my brain, I see them out in the jumble and
then all of takes them and throws them back and they're not jumbled. So
I was like, oh, you're here, we can do that. And
then I did that and came up with an idea. Did you Olive that
that was what you were doing, that you needed her help to unjumble your
words? Did she? Yeah? I said that, yeah, because she
did it good before with you when I messed up, So I don't I
really don't think it was mean. It's time that I could be running with
my idea. What wellt really what my idea was, and if it was
a good idea and if there's any problems, well, well, last our
first date didn't go so great. I built it dead up until the my
wand y yeah, pardon man. And then I was thinking, if we
were going on a date, maybe it'd be good to have someone tag along,
just so we'll get extra eyes in years. And I was like,
I really trust Barney, and if we don't want to be really down in
the dumps. Rosie's so cheerful and makes everything so happy. But then it
would be sort of like forceeing Rosie into a date since she's probably not aware
of it. So then I was just wanting to talk to you about it.
If we could say, hey, do you guys want to come along
on a double date, Like if we just asked because you did it with
me, you just asked me to date you what if you just asked them
to date each other, they'll say yes. I said yes, Wait,
Hi, hey, I what's what double date are you guys going on?
It's not a double date, actually, I think what it is is that
alex Is just finds that Rosy is very fun all the time, and that
would make everything okay. And why I asked alive first? Did something to
all live on? I'm walking into the great Hall, I'm leaving them behind.
What did you do that? It's easy? Did you do? What
did I do? And I think I tried to do good things and then
bad things happened. Okay, let's get some breakfast and that's a good place
for us to take our break. Oh god, I would just like to
emphasize this is the panic in fear that goes through so many young people's heads
when these feelings start coming about. This is how confused and awkward it really
is. It's a good job, everybody. We're going to take a little
bit of a break here, folks. If you haven't done so, please
make sure you follow these wonderful people. You can head on over to table,
story Down, TV, slash and WAW two follow them in all of
the places. Please go follow them. Followers are free, They're wonderful.
Please please please go give them a follow. If you have yourself a prime
gaming that you haven't used yet, consider throwing it their way. Get yourself
some emos, go support these people. That'd be fantastic otherwise, we're gonna
take a little bit of a break and we'll be back in just a few
minutes. Hanging tight for more which draft and wizardry. Uh yeah, lots
of good this morning rising. Did you make it? Uh? Well,
some of it. I worked. I worked a little earlier than normal,
uh because I did upset Lotti last night, So I got Brian early and
I did some breakfast and a lot of mostly dishes. I did dishes.
I did a lot of dishes. So dishes. But you have to do
your dishes if you want to cook in the kitchen. That's uh, that's
what Lottie always says, except she sounds not. It's more like, do
your dishes if you want to cook and make kitchen. That was good,
sound just like her. Thanks. Yeah, I've been working on that impression
for two years now. The plates are really clean too, that would be
my work, thank you. Yeah. I scrubbed them really hard today,
so my fingers are dry. I don't think I know any spells too moisturized
fingers. Maybe there's a product or something that the Weasleys have. I think
you would probably know. Yeah, I mean there's just like lotion. I
just use like some lotion. I'm sure my dad's attacked me some like lotion,
right right, Rosie is just like going in on breakfast, one of
everything, half an egg, hanging out the mouth the whole nine yards.
She was looking a mess. So are you nervous about defense against the doc
odds today? Uh? Oh, I'm feeling a lot better after I completely
putrific as totalist Alex last night. And I think I found the perfect spell
to use in class, so we'll see. I think it's fine. I
think it's fine. I think you're doing great. You you you know,
you really surprised Alex and you you did it. You did it well.
I mean he did he didn't even smash the cookie. That's well. Yeah,
I couldn't let that happen. Uh it's uh nope, couldn't happen.
That would have really hurt my feelings. That's what you should think about in
class, you know, when you're trying to be a duel that like everybody
that's dueling against me's about to throw my heart a good homemade food onto the
to the ground, like when like when those raven claws stolen and picnic basket.
I feel like Rosie is slowly like red in the face, but not
out of like bloodish anger, like a little whole Kmomi. Yeah, yeah,
I remember that for kiss shaking. Thanks for bringing that one up,
Arnie. Well, it's just for a class, you know, just you
can you just think about that during class? Yeah, I'm I'm really devout
passivist until you start mentioning the destruction of my homemade food. Your bak goods
are important, Rosie. They make everyone smile. Thank you. I hope
that those rave of we boys at least enjoyed them. I'm sure they did.
Olive, what are you up to? So when Olive walks into the
Great Hall, she's gonna look around and see if she sees Ashley Indigo,
please try and notice something? Can I use my relationship with Ashley? Definitely?
Okay, okay An eleven. Ashley is sitting with Gail Gray Twig.
They're there's something strange. They look like they're having a bit of an argument.
Hmm. Interesting. They're not being loud, but you can tell that
they're being like kind of heated. Yeah. Uh, I would like to.
I would like to try to sit near them where I could hear them,
but without trying to join them, you know, like maybe sitting at
a table behind them so they can't see me, but so I could hear.
Okay, quick, inquiral, Can I use my relationship with Ashley again?
Uh? I don't think so, not in this case. Okay,
Mmm, I'm gonna use my house benefit to take a plus one forward to
body roles in this scene. Okay, I'm trying to see if I have
anything else that can help. I think that's probably it. Okay. As
you're starting to walk around the table to find out what's going on and find
yourself a place to set, you are neither quick nor quiet. There's a
few students that are kind of like getting up maybe like bumping into you on
accident, like oh sorry, sorry, and your uh, your bag sort
of gets thrown from your hands and it crashes onto the table, sort of
smashing several of the the dishes and some people's food, and you hear lots
of boy, hey, sorry. Ashley and Gale both see you. Ashley
looks at you with the furrowed brow. She looks down at the bag.
Olive, Oh hey, Ashley, all right, fine, what are you
doing here? Well? Aparently trying to hide my embarrassment and put my bag
back together. But I was just coming over to say hi, I haven't
seen you in a bit. Everything all right? She looks at Gail a
bit harshly. Gail has her hands across her chest and just fine. Can
I read between the lines with Ashley? Yes, you can use your relationship.
You can ask one question, how can I get them to trust me?
Oh? That's a good one. Let's see. I think probably the
best way to get them to trust you is to let's see from yours and
their perspective right now. Is kind of the thing that I'm trying to work
about here. I think that some kind of grandiose jes sure is the best
way, something that really shows that you know you're you're Ashley's friend. She
seems to be the type that appreciates those grandiose gestures. Yeah, as opposed
to like just being friendly. She's the kind of you know, friend that
needs those like really obvious and big gestures to know that she's your friend.
When is the next scheduled trip to Hogsmeade for the Yeah, I think it's
it's probably in like a role for it. Actually, Uh, it is
in four days okay, so on Friday, okay, Uh, Olive is
going to kind of gather this stuff in her bag and come closer to Ashley
and go, well, I don't want to interrupt if you're busy, but
I was thinking, uh, I a bit of money last weekend, and
I was thinking maybe we could go shopping at Hogsmeade together. Oh make a
convinced role, please relationship with Ashley. I I don't think so. I'm
busy on Friday, all right, yeah, no, sure, I'll just
leave you two to it. Then I was just leaving anyway, right.
Ashley stands up and Gail looks at her and she says, really, yes,
really. Ashley stands up and she says, nice to see you again,
Olive, you too. She walks off. Can I I think this
is gonna be an investigate? Yeah? Can I investigate the area that they
were sitting once they've gotten up and left? H yeah, absolutely. Now
Gail is still here, Gail is sitting down, she's probably watching Ashley leave.
Just to clarify here, Oh okay, yeah, so all of us
instead, then all of is going to kind of look at the space that
Ashley left and said, mind if I join. Gail looks at you a
bit surprised, Fine, and alive, is gonna sit down to kind of
blop her book back next to her, and while she talks, I'd like
to kind of have her run her hand underneath the table and see if she
feels anything unusual. Sure, go ahead, and to make an investigate role.
Do I use any relationship for that? I don't think so, missen
an eight? Okay, so on an eight, you can ask me one
question from the investigators. I guess I'll say, is there anything strange physically
about this? Like I've sat at these tables hundreds of times now, I
think she'd be able to tell if anything was off even slightly. No,
So any big plans for the weekend Hogsmeade? Not really? Just word homework?
Been a while since I've done that. Oh okay, Uh, how
are your classes going lately? Fine? Better than this conversation? Then?
Yes, you'd much prefer if I just got up and left, wouldn't you?
Yes? Okay, all right, see like to Gail and she's going
to pick up her book bag and she's going to walk off. Meanwhile,
we see Alex, Mazi and Clem making their way into the Great Hall.
I honestly like, what did you I think I'm ahead of them at this
point, and as soon as I get to our normal table, I would
like to investigate the table. I would like to see if I'm just gonna
do it well, I want you to explain how you're doing it, like
how you're investigating the table I wanted. I want to look at the table.
I want to crawl underneath it. I want to examinan Basically, I'm
looking for the root. I'm looking if there's any kind of like rune or
anything still kicking around in this place. So yeah, I don't know how
many people sat there, but I'm definitely is the table I'm having breakfast with
Barney the table right now. Sort of aggressively walks over towards the table and
sort of I feel like this is probably the side with Barney, you know,
And Barney says, I'm I'm mazy. What are you doing. I'm
just checking. I'm just checking the table. Just hold on just a minute.
It's just really it's sorry. I feel like I'm just like bumping everybody
as I got like moving everybody. I'm grabbing like a sausage and putting it
under the table. Have you eate breakfast yet? I eat the sausage.
What are you looking for the room? I'm want to know if there's anything
still going on it, I mean the brow. No, can I see
anything work? There is no room there. My my question, my my
investigate question would have been, is there are any remaining magic here? No,
aside from the magic that is placed on the table. Yeah, it's
fine. I just like I try and pull myself up, like really not
very gracefully at all. Elect pull myself up out of the things and sit
down. Fine, thank you, I'm fine, thank you. And I
and I sit down and start making my making my own food. Not really
like looking at anybody or talking to anyone. Yeah, good morning. Mm
hmm. Oh is it a bad morning. It's a very confusing morning.
Oh why I just I shoot this like a look of daggers, Alex.
Yeah, just so I know where everybody's sitting. Rosie and Barney would have
been probably on opposite side of the table. I uh, I came out
on the other side to where I went in, so I must be out
next to Barney then, but I'm not sitting particularly close to him. Huh.
The climb an, Alex, You've arrived. Yeah, I just say
enough, habit I gotta sit down next to me see some kind of fucking
thought. Anyway, did you say you sit down next to amazing? Yeah?
I lifted my plate along slightly, and I shuffle along the bench and
keep putting all my food on my plate for my breakfast. I witness this.
I'm assuming I hide it. Okay, okay, what happened? This
is getting out of hand. Hey, welcome to breakfast. You want anything
kind of kind of know what's happening? Oh? I don't. There's something
wrong. So then that's then, and that's not. Then are you doing
math? Huh? Are you doing math? I'm doing what's it called when
you do people math? What like? Or subtraction? Has someone died?
Subtraction? No? No, Normally you go one plus one equals what?
And then you do math and you go, oh two, And then with
people you go, this happened in this person in there? And then so
what's the answer? God, I need a cup of coffee. I feel
like I'm still am I in a dream? Oh my god, I might
be early. Maybe I snoozed it dot fo He's good. I'm real.
I don't know if I to talk about it not? What do you mean
you're supposed to talk about it. I don't know, am I yes,
you're supposed to talk about it and tell us I am, but it involves
so many people and none of the definitely talk about it. Well, there
was I will, I will just be vague, So there was, you
know, parson E, I know you seeing was maybe feeling one way and
for longer than I maybe initially realized. And then, uh, I don't
think that being vague is helping to know. I don't understand. I think
to be specific so I can be specific. You've said that, and Rosie
said that, but not everyone else said that. So okay, I guess
we'll just have a fun breakfast knowing no tension whatsoever, just to chill breakfast.
Friends. Be thought that maybe I had done something to make personally feel
had we and in person B started feeling something and in person Selim thought that
I did something to make thought me and did I crazy? Did Alex hurt
your feelings? Yes? Okay, Rosie? Can you uh, okay,
cann you tell me how so I don't do it again because I don't maze
how did Alex hurt your feelings? And what can we do to solve that?
When you like to go sit outside and maybe we could touch the grass
and talk about our feelings. You upset my friend, and then did I
upset your friends? Explain what was going on to me? And then you
said, truly, really badly and it would be better people was fun what
I said? You know, that was a different thing. That was okay.
You wanted me to come to your day with you? No, I
didn't know. That's there was slightly No, you missed like you missed like
a couple of words out Barnie and Barney to come to your day too.
Okay, so I have really a date. That's just a hang up.
I would have loved to have been there just because I'm not. Yeah,
go ahead, Alex can Olive? Did I make you upset? What did
I just walk into? Alex hurt Mazy's feelings? Amazing is telling us why,
and now Alex wants to know if they hurt your feelings? Oliver,
are you feeling hurt? I thought I made you happy, That's why I
did. No, it was fine. We hugged it out. He apologized
for something that happened a while ago, and we hugged it out and then
it was fine. That's not it though, is it? No, it's
not. What did I do something else? No, you didn't do anything
else. Okay, So just so we're clear, Alex did something, apologized
for it. It is now okay. But Mazie's convinced that Olive still feels
upset and all of us saying it wasn't Alex's fault, right, So it
sounds like that, yes, yes, thanks tuusy. Because then I think,
because Mazie is your friend, and she thought maybe I had hurt too,
it's wrong to hurt your friends. So she was already angry at me,
and then I think the anger got in her ears a little bit and
stopped some of the words I'd be seeing from getting through an I think you
might pick a Alex paper. I do think that you might be Alex.
I'm trying to figure I'm talking out loud what's in my brain as I'm figuring
it out that doesn't like this is exact. And then when I moved to
the other side of the bench and I sit down dramatic, I'm feeling a
little intense right now because I'm feeling like, no, don't go, don't
go, don't go. Let's all talk about our feelings. Yeah, I
will do what. I don't like hurting Mazie, so I have to go
now. Oh, Mazie, I don't think Alex meant to. I think
sometimes Alex just jumbles his words up, yeah, because he gets really anxious.
So it's my fault. No, it's my fault. It's just that
I don't think Alex's mouth works the same as the rest of us, and
sometimes he says Alex's mouth doesn't work the same as the rest of this.
But I don't know a world, and which is okay for somebody to say
they it went really badly, and that means that I have to win by
other people because they would make it more fun than you, and also that
they would upset my friend a time before that they had to apologize for and
then again, and then my friend won't say it, And then now I
feel bad because my friend doesn't feel like like Macy, like she get Macy.
Yeah part of character, did Alex sleeve Yep? Yeah, I assume
that you came and sat next to Olive on the other side of the bench.
Correct. Definitely, Olive's gonna lean in and whisper. So only Mazie
can hear this. It's not that he needs anyone else that to have fun.
He's trying to be a wingman to Barnie so he can make some alone
time for Barnie and Rosie. They would. I'm not I'm just the messenger.
I'm just saying it's not that he didn't have a good time or that
you need someone else there to date you. He's it would be a date
just the two of you, because he's going to try and nudge them off
on their own anyway. What do you think they're talking about? Secret is
that Grousi was fun and that it needed to be more fun, that he
shouldn't have said that, that he's so mean, and that he trusted Bonnie.
And that's just you are the most fun ever, Maze. There's a
reason that you're the glue that holds all of Swaft together your live. We'll
argue about that one later, but you are the most fun ever, Maze.
Okay, it's why I spend so much time with you. But you
didn't word it very well, and he did say it in a way that
hurt your feelings. But I'm not saying it's an excuse. But honestly,
he is still a boy. May see he's a he's a good one,
but he's a boy. He's trying his best, all of you, your
feelings do and then you told him that you didn't. Oh, I promise,
really, I didn't lie about that. So why are use that?
Excuse me now with that? I'm I'm sorry. This this might be on
this might be on my fault. What and you do? You haven't anything.
We've just been having breakfast and it's just just Rosie. Yeah, you
have something in my face? Clem tell me fast you don't. I'm sorry,
I think Alex uh I was trying to help, Amazing. I'm sorry,
Rosie. I was trying to ask you out on a date. Why
what? Because I like you? Oh that's very nice. Why would you
do that? I'm sorry he was he was just trying to help me.
I'm sorry if everything got all messed up. But Amazing. I hope,
I hope you're not mad at him. He was just trying to help and
I was really scared. Did you say yes? You know what? What
I thing is, Rosie, you don't have to go with me if you
don't want to. I understand. I just have like never been on a
day before, and I have to call my dad's or something. I'm sorry
everyone, I'm just I'm going to go check on Alex. And I'm sorry
that I said it like this. But maybe if you want to, Rosie,
we could go to Hogsmead together. You don't have to say anything now
if you don't want to, just think about it, Okay, Okay,
thank you. Please don't be mad at Alex. Excuse me? Is Barney
gone? Bernie's run off? Hey? What just happened? Ust you out?
You've got asked out by Barney? Dude? Like, dude, really
weird. I'm very uncomfortable. I hold o Lip's hand under the table.
Why why uncomfortable? I just I just something I was really thinking about.
You know, I was like planning everywhere. I was planning other people's dates
and like cooking and like trying to do like at least one successful spell.
Uh. Yes, if you if you don't want to, or if you're
not ready, you don't, you don't have to say yeah, us,
I don't. Yeah, I'm them. Does anybody have any extra napkins?
Sure? Okay, she's gonna shove them up into her shirt under her armpits.
I didn't need it back, that's fine, I'll get you. I
could get you. Oh here, you can use this. And it's like
an old it's like a McDonald's style napkin. It's paper and it's been in
my pocket for it's been in my pocket for a long time. But it's
still good. Thank you. I was worried the paper would dissolve in my
armpits cool. We have to do that class with him later. Now,
yeah, how are you feeling? No, I'm feeling. I certainly am.
Thank you for asking, like like good feeling or huh? Okay?
Well am I not? You? Just eat some food? Just eat?
No, actually I'm not hungry. Oh no, oh no, oh god?
What do we do? Oh? No, make eat? I don't
know, Rosie, look at me, Look at me. How many fingers
am I holding up for Okay, that's that's not right. That's not go
back under the How many red things are in the room, Rosie? Have
I read things? Count all the red things that are in the room?
Count to count the Griffin doors? Yes? Why? Two? Two?
Or it? Maybe before? I think that's more. Keep counting, I'm
counting. Do we do the hospital wings and say? What? She got
asked out on a date? I mean I'm sure it's not the first time
that they've seen it. This dating puts people in hospitals. I've never heard
that before. Maybe maybe they'll just have something to help her calm down a
bit, you know. I like, I see in Rosie's pocket some array
of food as I've got my hand around her, like in her inside pocket.
I mean, what's there, Rosie? Like, what's what's to choose
from the pocket you're looking at? In particular, is a mixture of jelly
beans, a crumbled up cookie, and one singular cooked piece of pasta?
Of course, ask Yeah, I can't believe you didn't know. I fish
out a couple of jelly beans and I like wolfed them under her nose,
like smelling salts. Oh, this is Rosie, Rosie, why don't Why
don't we just go for a nice lie down in the hospital wing. I
think I'd like that test. Okay, so hospital hospital wing? Okay,
medical test. Good times. Our next class, I'm very excited for class.
Class happens after the hospital wing. So it just depends whenever we finish
there. Oh, are we taking a hospital wing class? Is it a
medical class? Yeah? Yep? Right, could you do Rosie? Could
you do me a favor and tough it out. Yeah yeah, why h
six or lower? You're hurt badly? Choose one. I think I'm taking
days. Uh no on a six or lower and you got a five.
I take two. You take either all three options from the seven to nine
list, pass out or flee, or you're curse, severely injured, or
deeply affected by this. No, I'm gonna pass out. I'm putting my
head straight into my breakfast. Oh no, okay, pull pull her face
out of breakfast. You can't, please, don't, don't breathe in.
You need to get some help. Hospital wing, Yeah, right away,
yeah, right now? Can I as we as we go as we're trying
to lift a route kind of roll to to treat wounds here. Oh no,
oh, son, So she's dead, actually she dies. She's passed
out, so she's gonna need some some more help. But you guys start
to haul her off to the hospital wing. Meanwhile, Alex and Barney,
Alex, where have you gone? My first class was potions and that old
storage cupboard. It's one of my hating spots, the one we learned about
in first year. So I'm i am down there. Barney knows most of
them know that. Okay, so you've headed to the potion's classroom early.
I yeah, but I ducked into the storage storage okay, sorry, yea,
there's maybe a few Slytherin that are walking down the hall from their common
room. You've gone into the storage room. Yeah, and I'm just gonna
find a little gap in between some things too, sit down between tucked away
between like a like cupboard and some doors or something. Mm hmm it's you
do you have to miss it? Really, not about it? M hm.
They get up and then the door open in walks the oceans teacher Professor
Griffiths. Right as the professor was walking and I, I'm sorry kicking a
table? Hey, what are you doing? There was a m M janosaur
A what tape of the say here's guys, scattered off with my phone.
Make you convinced her all? Please? Yeah? Mm hmmm mm hmm.
Are you crying now? The dinosaur short? Acid in my eyes? Did
you spell a potion? What's wrong? Yes? The potion. I came
in here to find cleaning supplies. Don't rub your eyes? Is that be
horrible? What are you thinking? I was rubbing in the fish or up.
I may have a lot. It's it's okay, I will see you
for class. I forgot something the common remained to pick it up, hold
stale, thank you? Is there's no I was in here? Yeah,
I got it right. It taught me. Well, are you sure that
you're all right? Yeah, mister Pempin, you don't have to worry about
class. It shouldn't be too difficult today. Is that what's troubling you?
Yeah? I forgot to do my homework. Wow, that's no really real
reason to tom. I just told myself to a very high standard. So
well that you still have some time before the class starts. You have time.
That's what I forgot in the common and that's what it was to day
the homework there, I had it, I see mhm. Sorry about the
table, It's fine, don't worry about it. I'll be I'll be going
there, mister Pippin. M h yeah. Just be careful. You know,
working on potions when you are in a state can be dangerous, so
just be careful. Yeah, an next, Annix, are you down here?
Mm hmm. I try to avoid Barney. I can. I just
slip out the room and quick and quiet and go the opposite direction. The
words are coming from. Be quick or quiet? It can be quick or
quiet. I will be Professor's right there, so I can't run, so
I'll be quiet. I think you probably see Barney take a look in the
potion's class I mean you can one one direction is the slithering common room in
a few more classrooms. The other directions up the stairs. Which way do
you go? I think I I think I think I'm gonna uh the other
way away from the slytherling common room. Back up the stairs, head back
up the stairs. H m hm. Did I managed to avoid Barney or
is he yes? You probably saw some some of his texts, you know,
he made it kind of like larger. Yeah, Alex, are you
okay? Ali you okay? I'm gonna head up. I'm gonna head for
the bell towers over by the greenhouses because those are typically pretty quiet. Okay,
I walk, I walk quickly when I don't try, and when I
get there, I'm just gonna go up the stairs a bit and just sait
fahwell, wait until classes begin. Where you'd go to class, I don't
go to class. Okay, I think we joined the other group. Then
you see that Barney and Alex really haven't like come back since that whole thing
happened, and it's getting close to class time. I was gonna say say
something, but I'm unconscious. Yeah, I think we're trying to take you
to the hospital wing. You you sort of uh, you're sort of ring
Rosie. She's like not completely unconscious, you know, she's sort of like
babbling and sort of you know, she can she's taking those like it was
really a conscious kind of steps, and you're you gotta walk like a pretty
far away to go to the hospital wing, but eventually you make your way
there. Can we can we get some help up, friend? This soup
is bestial with cheese. That's right, Rosie. Unweashal cheese, madam.
It's probably dealing with a few students down at the the end of the hospital
wing. And she says, I'll be right there, you like somewhere is
there what is that like a spare bed or something visible you can see?
I think I would initiate dragging her over to the bed and getting her laid
down. Yeah, Oliver would help PLoP her down into the bed. Time
Okay, like some some water or oh no, okay, want hot chocolate?
Oh tea water? Oh? Oh do you want anything? Sprinkles,
sprinkles? No, actually, no, no, okay. I get onto
the bed next to Rosie and I put her head on my shoulder and I
just stroke her hair. Is that okay? Yeah, that's nice. Okay,
I'll just stay heaven. Adam Pomfrey walks over what seems to be his
problem. Is our friend fainted in the middle of my Oh yes, yes,
hash brands all over her face. That's normal. Yeah, she won't
even eat anything, and that's definitely not normal. Right. I think I
have a bit of skunky smelling salts somewhere, hold on them. And Adam
Pomfrey begins to walk away. Did she just did she just say? Where?
Does he smell like a skunk? I mean, I know she's not
fresh as a taisty, but it's something she's going to use to try and
get Rosy to like come to you know, I did it bad? Well,
you can take a bath later, Rosie. I already had one.
You had one two weeks ago. Good for you. Yeah. Do we
take it as a good sign or a bad sign? That Barney asking her
how made her faint and be delirious with no appetite? Is that easy?
You're in a relationship. Is that normal? Well, I don't know if
I am to be perfectly honest with you, Olive, but I don't really
know what's normal. I mean, I just come on one date with but
I don't think we can No. If it's a good sign, you should
have a handshake, they should have a really cool handshake. You do have
a really cool handshake already, Rosie. Amazing. Why would you say you
don't think you're in a relationship. It's just a bit complicated, Olive,
I'm not sure. Here is the time, the place really all have kind
of looks at cleam like, well, you know, I don't think that
there's any relationship that isn't a little bit complicated and it really have you ever
played jacks? If not, I'm jax. You know, no, you
think about it? Wants to tell us about it when you boo skunky smelling
sultskaya? Can I can I roll to be immune to the skunk smelling sounds?
Uh? Yeah, you can try and resist influence. So I think
that Rosy smells horrible, so I think she's probably not faced. It will
give you a plus one on the resistant influence of the skunky smelling salt I
keep forgetting that Rosie's supposed to smell awful all the time. Okay, uh
so I think what happens is she's she's like literally a cook can't smell.
No, I can't smell bad things because I'm immune to my own stink.
So Madame Poffrey has this like, uh it's it's, you know, normally
like a smelling saltser, like the little little stick that you kind of break.
It's probably there's like a little skunk shaped like it looks almost looks like
a bottle of perfume, you know, and she she just goes over and
sort of and Rosie, there's like a there's a moment where nothing happens.
Madame Pomfrey looks at the bottle strangely, that's never happened before. Let me
try again. Smells like calm sh She sprays like a lot the second time,
and it smells like all the rest of you smell it, and it's
so powerful, like you have to take a step back. It's it's basically
like fresh skunk butt and uh so sorry, can you say that one more
time? It's what nickname its sprayed pretty heavily in Rosie's face and Madame Pomfrey's
looking Madame Bombrey's like staring at Rosalie never and then I think, finally,
Rosie, you start to come to yeah hm hm oh, but does it
smell bad to me? Or am I just like awake now? I'm just
like, oh no, there was like a second it was like some kind
of intense smell for a second, like whiff of something. It's like almost
familiar, but not at all. All right, Yeah, you're staring at
Madame Pomfrey. She's got this weird thing that kind of looks like a skunk
in her hand. Is that a squirrel? No, pigeon? H Maybe
your friend should risk it? Wow? I think so. Yeah. I
think during during this exchange with this with the skunk sults, I was like
powered off the bed because it was just so disgusting, to the point where
I'm like at the other end of the room coughing. Is she okay?
Yeah, I'm okay. Just needs a bit more time to rest, a
lot more time to rest, okay, yazy? Are you all right?
Yeah? I just can't get those winds per fine. I think do you
want a jelly bean? Absolutely not st like an anti skunk smelling salt.
Situation might not hurt at my cloak. No, absolutely not. No,
Oh it may help, absolutely, I don't think it will. But it's
like you're grosy and fresh. I throw up in the corn. Oh my
mmmm, that's I'm so sorry. I couldn't stop it, right, dear,
just make sure you don't throw up on anyone? And oh gosh,
I feel better. I'm Humphrey. Have you ever been married? Mm hmmm,
yes, that's nice. Why do you ask you? But I just
you're here all the time. I passed out on my breakfast. I know,
dear, that's why you're here in hospitaling sometimes you never mind. Have
you ever been on a date in Madame Palmfrey? Yes, of course.
Did you ever pass out before the date? I don't think so. No.
If you were making like a pros and a cons list, where would
you put that? I don't think I understand on the pro or the con
side. Do you mean if you passed out before a date? If that's
yeah, well I suppose it depends on the situation. Oh, very helpful,
Thank you, ye, dear, you having boy trouble, girl trouble.
I was about to say, incredibly heteronormative of you? Madame Pomfrey,
But you turned that boat right around, and I'm proud of you for that,
really proud of you. No problems with he, she's of them.
Thank you for a totally fine over here for me, totally fine, all
right, Madame Pomfrey looks at the rest of you. Perhaps you want to
speak with your friend. Oh, I think you were doing a great job.
Actually, Madame Pomfrey, are you doing great? Did you did you
need anything? No? M Why why did you hesitate? I was trying
to think, like even a singular thought, and I don't even have one.
That's very unlike you. I feel like it's normally pretty empty up here,
but I think this is different. I shouldn't say empty, I should
say zin, Oh it's empty, but not in a zen way. Right
now. Have you ever seen the TV screen where the ball bounces back and
forth and it never hits the corner. My brain's like that, but with
a slice of cake, just all the time. Where's the cake? Now?
It's in my brain. It's still there. It never that's a good
sign, though, is it. Well? Yeah, the cake is usually
there, and it's still there right now. I would say sorry, oh,
sorry, still there a little bit. I would say that that was
a good sign. Did you have some sort of pickle for dinner or something
last night? Maybe I can see it in your throw up? What is
that? I do not she really remember? Why? Why are you looking?
Oh? I was just curious? Oh Rosie, what what? What
kind of cake is your brain cake? Strawberries and cream? That's what I
thought it would be, like a strawberry strawberry short cake thing, you know,
when I was at Tulaire with a nice up whipped cream in a big
chunky strawberry on top. It looks nice. There's a candle. Whose birthday
is it? My first husband made me feel like this sometimes. Although I
never passed out, I do remember the first about it, Madam Pumphrey,
the first time. That only way to Madam Pumphrey. How many husbands have
you had? I've had three? What happened to them? Well, the
first one died rather unexpectedly. His name was George. George unfortunately is he
died to the dragon parks. You were very young, that is that when
you decided to become a nurse. Yes, yes it was. It was
smart. It's good to put your passions into something that you care about.
It was a long time ago. Man, It wasn't very. It's like
a slight bit of color that comes to her cheeks, just very and Pumfrey,
I think you're blushing. Mm hmmm hmm. Don't be ridiculous, dear,
are you? No? No, no, no, That's the only
thing I've ever been now, Miss earth Cloud, you, Miss Pomfrey,
you just lead down and rest and oh, bring you something to drink?
Okay, would you like some tea? Oh you think you need to drink
something? Can I bring you some water? Mm hmm sure, all right,
I'll be right back. Okay, you should take better. How long
it'll take? How long? What will take? I could go? Oh
right, I'll take two sickles on two minutes, two sickles on two minutes?
I double it. Do you think for a minute, favorite husband,
I don't know. If she didn't mention any of the other ones, clearly
think then do you think Madame Humphrey's ever kissed someone? She was my Thaif
right? Don't you have to kiss if you're married? It's illegal that not
kiss if you're married. I don't think it's illegal, but I think doesn't.
Isn't that what happens? That's that's like a bit that they do.
They tell you you can kiss at the end, and I think that's like
what makes it legal, Like if someone interrupts before you get to kiss,
you're not technically married whatever. It's the end of your wedding ceremony instead of
kissing, like you're saying, you put you both put on a separate sock
puppet and you made the sock puppets kiss that. I think, so,
yeah, as long as it's legal, as long as the sock puppets are
for the rest of the vows though, because otherwise they don't know, they
wouldn't know what they're kissing about. Actually, I think instead of putting on
the sock puppet, you should wear them the whole ceremony. Yeah, instead
of a wedding. Actually you should throw a sock puppet show and call it
a wedding. That's a great idea. But then wouldn't that be a sock
puppy show one, not a wedding, And then you wouldn't be married.
No, no, you would be married. Are your dads married? Yeah?
Yeah? Yeah yeah. They didn't get married for a really long time.
It was a It was a pros mest a pro a crow's nest,
a protest, and then they got married. Why was it a protest?
Oh, because like other people weren't allowed to get married, so and then
lenk legally they couldn't because there's two of them. I guess that's weird for
some people whatever to have two dads instead of one. It was like a
really big fuss about it somewhere in like the southern part of flor Ah.
Here you are, Yeah, Oh, thank you, Humphrey. It looks
delicious, Adam Pomfrey. Yes, you said you'd been married three times correcked?
Yeah? Correct. How do you tell the difference between like nervous butterflies
because you like someone, or nerves because it's not a good it's not it's
not a good fit. Like, how can you tell the difference when if
your insides feel jumbled? How do you know why they're jumbled? If your
insides are jumbled, I think that might be constipation. I don't think that's
why it is. In my experience, I have really only felt butterflies when
I really cared about the person and what they thought. If it's someone that
I don't care about, then I never really had the feelings. Does that
make sense. Yeah, yeah, yeah, well you should probably all get
going except for you, miss Ethcloud, and class is going to be starting
soon. No, I got to go to class, So yeah, I'm
heading there. Are you sure like you can? Yeah? I'm going to
take a test difference against the dark Arts today. I got to be there
for that. I gotta be there for that. I practiced all night.
I just think that maybe medical advice might be quite prominent here. Trying to
convince Madame Pomfrey please me, No, this is gonna be Can I can?
I? Can I show courage in the face of adversity here? How
are you trying to show courage? Because like I'm trying to stand madam,
come across as intimidating to you. No, but have you seen how strong
she is now here? I'm pretty sure we're gonna need a convinced role here.
Well, you know, let's get a little tiny pathetic round of applause
for this, this spatting pathetic in that you really didn't need to, and
I'm appreciate that you took the time to just throw me down just a little
bit more. Really great, Just this with my relationship with Rosie, I'm
kind of scared to ask you questions. Well, you're trying to convince Madame
Pomfrey, so I don't think so about Look I tried. That was an
attempt. There you go, there you go. Yes, he says,
perhaps you are right, and you said Cloud you should lay right down and
don't worry. I should. Everything will be fine. I will send a
note to your professor. What class do you have? Yeah, that's a
great question. I don't know. I can go ask for you. Yeah,
I'll do that. I'll just go ask. I'll be right back.
All right, Dear Madam Poffrey is sitting there looking his rosy rushes off.
I run after her. Excellent, and that's probably a good place for us
to end the session today. Wow. I gotta say, you know,
I had some stuff planned for today and this is not what I expected.
Yeah, we did absolutely none of it right. Where you went wrong on
that one whack is that you had some off planned, you know, and
you expect was like this was the finale actually, but when you were like,
hey, can I read between the lanes on all of I was like,
oh god no. And then you rolled like oh she said, and
I was like, oh this is fine. I was like, it's gonna
be great and then you're like, what did what did? I was like,
you got me off guard. It's like style, it really is gone,
like somebody who upset Olive and then Chris Macy's pop. I gotta,
I gotta just remind viewers watching the show that you need to just remember that
the players are playing characters and they're trying not to use meta knowledge. They're
trying not to use their adult senses and responses for these situations. Remember harken,
hearken back into olden times when when you were around that puberty age and
just really, let's let's let's play out some of those moments where you tried
to ask someone out for the first time, or you might have been asked
out for the first time. Trying to remember those moments, because man,
they were awkward and a mess. The misinterpretations of everything that anyone said at
all times, and everything someone said meant something meant one hundred other things.
Yeah. Ough, even if you like me, or do you like like
like me like are there? But do you like like me like Ashley Indigo
like likes that person, or do you like like me like this person likes
that person? It was, uh, it was rough, and even if
you didn't really have those experiences in that time, maybe you knew someone else
that was going through them and you shared them in that way. It was
Uh. I titled that section of the book Huberty the Ruler of Worlds for
a reason. Yeah. So wow. I think everybody nailed it. And
I was not at all sad that any of the things that I had prepared
didn't happen today because this was fantastic, So a great job everybody. I
think that was amazing and so complex. And I would just like to state
for the record that Barney has, you know, some traits that I really
do try and stay true to in that he does. He has brave as
a trait, so he will act, you know, brave on occasion.
It does happen, and I felt like it was he saw Alex in pain
and you know, and he saw everybody else was kind of in pain,
and he felt like it was his fault, so he felt like he had
to do something about it. So that's, uh, that's kind of why
that happened. But there was a lot of a lot of difficult feelings and
emotions and things all happening at the same time, and that's what this is.
That's what this is about. This is what this system is really meant
to do. So I hope you all remember that stuff. Great job.
Let's go around the room, let's do our end of session stuff. Please,
if you have any traits that you feel like you might have gone astray
of, if you feel like you've you've struggled too much with the trait that
you might have, feel free to speak up about it. I think actually
I've been more true to Mazie's traits today because we've got to see a few
of them that we haven't seen in a while. We really got to see
like reckless and self righteous and insecure today, Like we got to see all
of those today, and I don't think we've hadn't know, so do we
see them move for a while. Well, great job. Okay, then
let's move on to relationships and one to Alex one. Okay, I'll go,
I'll go first. If we're just not she gave one, Yeah,
Alex boy, I meant out of the rest of us awkwardly waiting to go.
But I'm actually going to give a plus one to Alex because he was
so upfront about wanting to double back and clear the air and had such a
nice apology that shout out to Alex plus one, Bud, I'm canning exactly
a plus one of olive for giving me the napkins that I put in my
armpit? Mm hmm. Can I give minuses to multiple people? Just one?
Just one? Right? Feel free to list all the other people that
you wanted to give the minus one too. Yeah, just hurt all of
our feelings. Yeah, we'd love to know, true, true, true
true. I so yeah, I think I want to I think I want
to give. Oh, I think I'm gonna give Maisie a minus one because
no Ah, that's why it's so difficult, the tension that Alex and Maizie
have brought into Clem's life all of a sudden, and like the anxiety and
the tension is like super super like psychologically damn. But you know what I
mean, huh what do you mean? You got it when I said the
thing? You understood when I said the thing. Yeah, that's why that's
why it's difficult, is because like definitely don't give it to coming from I
see where Mazie's coming from. But there's also like the frustration of like,
but you you know, Alex and like just why can't you just let it
go? Which is obviously not the correct emotion to have, but I feel
like there's an element of that happening where it's just like, can't we just
smooth it over? We all know that alex Is, can we all just
move on from this or whatever? I think maybe, Yeah, I hate
it personally, I hate it, but I feel that's how Clem feels at
this moment. So I think I'm gonna do a minus minus one. Amaze,
I'm so sorry. Yeah, it's not myrgles giving a minus one to
Collo, it's Clem giving a last one to Mazie. Yeah, but it's
even like I disagree with Clem I personally, like as an adult because I
recognize like all of the layers that are happening. But I feel like,
in that moment, yeah, how dare you play as your character to IMMERSI
yeah, how D? Yeah, emotion works and it's not like it's well,
we've got an extra somewhere between ten and twenty years on these characters to
the point of understanding that and having the context for it that they don't makes
perfect sense. I'm giving Mazie a minus one because I hurt her. It
breaks my heart that you say it that way as well. I'm giving her
a minus one because I hurt heart, not like because she's mad at me.
I didn't even make that connection, right, Yeah, sure, this
is a lot about alex let's not unpack then, just slight leave your eyes.
I'm gonna study. Did we get everybody's relationship? I think so?
Right? Yeah? Okay, classic school rolls, and please keep in mind
any any bonuses you had, please. The session went by like really quickly,
by the way, like I was just like so fast. Okay,
what did we start with? Was it alex Or? Was it Amazing Claim?
Was it Jews? Yeah? It was Climbs ten? Oh, okay,
let's see starting with the Gryffindors. Okay, Clem with a ten Olive
was an eight. Mazy with an eleven twenty five points the Gryffindors. Wow,
Okay. The next up, we've got Alexander with a fourteen ten points
for Ravenclaw. I got a seven that's five more points, and last one
is an eleven for ten more points for raven Claw. Okay, let's see.
Oh, the Slytherins went before. Okay, let's see h Cornelia for
the Slytherins is a twelve. That's ten points for Slytherin and Lilian, another
five points for Slytherin, and roll to ten. That's ten or more points
for Slytherin. Ooh, uh Rosie with an eleven for Hufflepuff. Rosy's been
doing pretty well on these rolls for Hufflepuff lately. I'm sorry that that it'll
get cursed. I've been crashing and burning. Hold on, that's a six.
Okay, sorry, I would like to point out that Hufflepuff did win
last year. That's not enough. I need more and an eight for five
points. Okay, alrighty, and now let's do our downtime moves and shout
outs. Why don't we start off today with uh Luxey? Why don't she
start us off? Oh that's a great idea because I had such a calming
episode. I think that everything went according to plan. I think that today
I'm good to put my nose down and go to work. What what do
we roll? D I'm doing it, Todi, sit No, that's to
create push on. SI is a job. Job. If you want to
do job, thank you. I'm doing fine, Okay. Seven gallons A
nice A nice time working for Lottie. She doesn't hate me in the slightest.
Everything's totally fun. Hi, Hi everyone, I'm sorry. I'd just
like to apologize, that's all. Oh nothing. Also just like to call
out the rest of the cast for taking screenshots of me the entire time Rosie
was having a meltdown, and then me trying not to look at them that
entire time and failing and laughing, and then and then them zooming in on
the screenshots, which made them even more. No, they would never do
that. That's crazy. Hey, my NIE's lexy games. You want to
see those screenshots. I'll be posing them on to her later. I'm a
streamer, shocker. I bet you didn't know. I saw a comment the
other day WHAC though was like love love the WHAC actually broke down and I
was like, what part are they talking about? And I clicked to the
videos and just me saying did you know? I'm gay? And it makes
me want to say it's my outro every time. I'm playing a lot of
the SIMS right now, I'm in between do you want a bunch of stuff?
So we're playing the sims. It's very chaotic. I did steal a
child much too. Next dis may and then I had two legitimate children,
not the taku isn't part of the family, and I won't stand for any
slander. Thanks for having me here today. If you want to see me
steal another child, I'll be live tonight. Probably maybe we'll take another one.
Is it worth mentioning what Bean said when you stole the child? Oh
to kill their parents? Yeah, yeah, yea. My wife came in
was really mad that I didn't properly adopt the child, and then she was
like, there's no other solution, kill the parents, and then I deleted
them from the faces, and then my editor ddited me into fanas. Anyways,
I also want TikTok if you want to see that. Oh God,
luxy oh always complaining. They're like, why doesn't this happen to my SIMS
games. You have to do it yourself. You have to be the chaos
you want to see in your SIMS world. That's all the chaos that you
want to be in your SIMS world. Oh oh wow, Please go follow
LuxI Games, go watch everything she does because she's hilarious. Can I just
say I'm really sorry. Jane is trained to pick me up when I pass
out, and I genuinely think she was like actually cancerned that I was passing
out because she tries to put her head. She's really she's so swinging.
Uh good, Jean, let's get myrtles to go next. Uh well,
I was about to recover from the shame of the screenshots of sweet baby Angel
Jane trying to save Luxi's life. Thought was hilarious. Appairly be fair is
so funny regardless of the reason. It's oh Good's just Jane's wild eyes that
got me. But now I know what they mean and now I can never
laugh again. So what am I doing? The downtime moves stuff? Okay,
I would like to study, Okay, good luck, thanks and eleven,
Yes, you get a plus one forward to here. I read about
that roles next session. Yay, thank you so much. Hello, I'm
irgles I. Oh boy, today's session was great. I stream Mondays,
Wednesdays and Fridays. I am animating a film. I started working on it
again, so we're like getting back onto the horse of animation for now,
see how long it lasts, and then I'm working on it. So if
you're interested in animation and how animated films get made. You can come check
me out. Thank you. I played clem for you today. Peace,
Thank you so much, Margles, they go orgs. I just so bad
want to be on Mergs level when it comes to doing these outros. I
can't top just the energy, the energy you bring. I'm for my downtime
move. I would like to create a potion, and I'm kind of curious,
so my when we got to do like our favorite class or best class
or whatever, minus potions, can I use that for this? No?
Fortunately, no, not for the down time okay? And then if it's
a year below us, do I add a plus one? Yep? Okay,
cool. I'm gonna try to make a potion. Everyone, let's see
if I'm cursed with these as well? A nine that means that something's gone
wrong. What potion? Were you trying to make? The pepper up potion,
which is supposed to cure the common cold, warm up the recipient and
steam would emit from their ears for hours. Yeah, this is the pepper
up potion, pepper up potion kind of yeah. Yeah, maybe it doesn't
actually cure the cold at all. It just kind of makes them feel warm.
That's practical. Yeah, you can just cozy, you can make a
note Pepper kind of okay, thank you? Who are you? And where
can people from? Yeah? I forgot? Who am I? How much
time do you have? Who are any of us? Really? What is
existence? I think this episode might have annihilated the cast everybody a little bit,
a little bit, just a little bit. Hi, I'm oh my
god, just the group shop the Internet was a mistake. I'm gonna close
my eyes for my otro because I can't look at the filth that they're sharing
while I'm doing this. Hi. I'm Nega Rix. I'm a streamer,
voice actor, host, and tabletop RPG player. Tomorrow I'm gonna be guesting
on a D and D stream, which is gonna be fun. You can
find the details on my Twitter and then I have other cool announcements coming soon,
so come say hi. Sometimes I play a lot of single player,
story driven games. I'm doing my first play through of the Outer Worlds right
now, playing a character with zero intelligence who doesn't hesitate to make very brutal,
bloody decisions. It's been a chaotic adventure so far. Can I look
yet? Are you done? Oh? God? Okay, bye, thank
you. I'm actually going to do a potion for my day and time.
It's the first year potion, so it's so it's a plus two forward,
which should be helpful. Ask what are you making? She'll whisper you okay,
ma, Hi everyone, I am Gause. I played Alex for you
today. I've seen a whole bunch of people coming to the Discord from the
YouTube or from the podcast version, and it's been so awesome to see people
just finding the show and catching up. For people. Finally, if you
knew here it's your first time live, Hi, Hello, We're going to
have you. There is a whole bunch of people. And then Discord looking
for looking to play with crafton, which is awesome that it feels so cool
to be part of something that makes people want to also do it. So
if you also want to play it, then hop into Discord and find some
of those people and get together and have your down magical madness like me do.
Thanks everyone, Thank you buddy. Last, but not least, Colo,
I'm try and keep myself together enough to do this show. I just
need to say, there's no way that I can even possibly try and describe
even a hint of the chaos that has gone on in this group chat today.
Joining the show, I think we've all learned quite a lot about each
other. The group is just it's just a trust exercise, and no one
trusts anymore. I'm sorry the most hilarious pictures and put them in their group
jet eye. Oh, I'm sorry that I write you joy and entertainment,
all right, you're right trying to do stuff. Yes, it brings me
joy and entertainment when they're trying to do stuff. So I think, God,
just maybe do some social activities. Let's do that. That's a good
idea, hearts, which I have no bonus in. I'm sure this will
go fine. Yeah, right, social activities did not go so well?
Yeah, I think just the yeah, thats just the beginning of the day
has carried on throughout the entire day. I haven't got glue hell dwand or
myself socially and easy, neither of us Mazy scylo. So we've got that
in common. I am Colo. Hello, Do I need to do anything
else? Work? So? Hi? I'm sorry, it's just I'm commlearly
undone. Okay, So you're gonna what you're gonna want to do is you're
gonna go follow Hello? It's Colo on Mondays, She streams mass effect.
She also week it's up on YouTube, so it goes on Mondays and then
on Wednesdays the YouTube video goes out, so watch watch it twice on Twitch
