Welcome back, users. Looks like we were able to bring you back online and tracked again...here's hoping the layers are settled now, but the readings are off the chart. We're doing our best to stabilize the city for December while we track some of the magical sources we're picking up. It may take us some time though, so please bear with us!

We may be working through the holidays, too, if this keeps up. But it's okay. You opened the doors and new routes for us to check.

Stay positive, users. December is a special time of the year. What's your favorite holiday tradition? You'd be surprised how thoughts shape things here.

Please take care.

Weren't you saying a the time that it's dangerous to touch magical stuff when you don't know what it is?

Oh well. Too late now. If it's one of the ones Joanne is talking about, they're probably find it pretty quick.

What do you think they're going to do with it? Magic is dangerous is the wrong hands.

Hopefully keep it out of Vanderweele's hands? I would honestly Retrospec have it than him?

True we don't know what kind of magical powers it has. He's old as fuck. What if that magic made him live longer?

[personal profile] thisloveisjustice 2018-12-18 08:11 pm (UTC)(link)

Longer that he already has? Can magic do that? Make people live longer than their natural lifespan? Though, for all we know, the Founders could have longer natural lifespans than us.

The headmaster is really old at Hogwarts, so I don't see why magic could have helped in that?

Or wizards could have naturally longer lifespans too.

Dude. You could outlive me.

Dude. I'm younger than you. Of course I will outlive you.

Yeah, but I have a higher life expectancy than you do.

Re: private

[personal profile] blondferret 2018-12-22 06:13 am (UTC)(link)
Life expectancy is based off of where you live, not your ethnicity.

Is it? Huh, you learn something new every day.

Yeah you do. Speaking of learning new things, UI got a memory last month that is very interesting. Makes me really question the Defense Against the Dark Arts Class, and who the head master hires, but none the less, the class was interesting.

In magic, there are three Unforgivable Curses:

The Imperious Curse: The ability to control people and what they do.
The Cruciatus Curse: The torture curse (by causing pain)
The Killing Curse: I think this one is self explanatory.

To think 14 year olds are learning this.

The teacher was actually having the students learn these spells?!

[personal profile] blondferret 2018-12-24 06:45 am (UTC)(link)
Well, the ministry of magic felt we should learn it when we were older, but the head master and the professor felt we should learn it while we're young. We didn't perform the spells, just learned about it... and watch spiders suffer.

That messed up man. That is seriously messed up.

I mean... this teacher is messed up himself. He has one eye, a peg leg, and... he put the spider on Draco's face. Who the hell does that?

Anyone who can tell Draco is a bit of a jerk? Clearly this guy was never meant to be a teacher.

[personal profile] blondferret 2018-12-28 04:45 am (UTC)(link)
Clearly. Who ever hires the teachers at this school (probably the headmaster) is completely nuts!
