I have no idea what the answer to the riddle is but it sounds like one of the Knocker’s stupid ones so good luck with that. You could always go find one of the public bathrooms? Because your alternative is waiting for someone else to come along who knows the answer. Or coming up with a bullshit answer that the knocker likes enough to let you in.

I mean, I’d offer to get up but I’m all comfy.

Luckily both Zoe, Becca, and Alexis helped me with the riddle and they could do it without getting up. Which ended up solving all of my problems that day so luckily I’m good now and I didn’t wet myself or you know ... pee against the door as I told the knocker I would.

Yeah, you’re probably right. I have a feeling if she did it she would have sung like a canary the moment she was confronted.

Well that rules out one person of your possible suspects. Do you have a clue who could have done it? Or was it possible someone out of the castle?

Yes it’s true

I do enough physical exercise, without landing in a lake! My arms don’t get big all by themselves, dude. I haven’t been jogging in awhile, though. Thanks for the suggestion! I’ll make sure to avoid going near the lake, though. I do want to know what it was, but I’m not sure I’m down with getting soaked again. Maybe I could set a humane trap.

I wasn’t trying to imply you didn’t do enough physical exercise. And even if I was I wouldn’t try to suggest the lake as a good alternative. I hope you knew some charm that could get you dry as soon as you were out of the water. Maybe you could find some second year in the common room who really likes toads and wants to investigate for you.

Naah, nope. I’m going to be an old man and liking stuff even weirder than the stuff I like now - I refuse to grow into a bland lump of a man. I love anything where they can create a song out of other preexisting noises, that’s so much creativity that goes into that! Maybe the sounds wouldn’t have been annoying if you grew up with them, though, it’s all about context, apparently. Watching old people and animals do stuff is funny too, that’s why there are so many cat videos on the Internet!

Yeah you probably start to like prunes in combination with peanut butter or other weird stuff when you are like 60. I honestly have no idea how people even come up with stuff like that. I am not sure if I actually like it but at the very least .... it’s creative. Yeah that might be the case, luckily modern computers can be muted... not sure if those old computers could do that.

Have you been hate-chanting? Because I honestly think I’d prefer that to everyone trying out their acting chops with nine million different ways to say three words. It’s more than sad, it’s pathetic depending on who you are. 

No, people should do whatever they want to do. I’ll probably tell them I think it’s bullshit but at the same time I’ll respect them for their .... interests. I do agree with you though.

I mean, the day I stop messing with people is the day you stun me and then hand me over to the Ministry because I’ve been put under the Imperius Curse.

Also, would you like to be my Valentine? You get to give me chocolates.

I’ll try to remember that .... in case someone actually uses the imperius curse on you.

..... No. Because I don’t do valentines and I don’t have any chocolate to give anyone.

Kelsey: Why would the professors /need/ to steal Ashwinder eggs? I think even Hagrid knows breeding an Ashwinder is a bad idea after what happened with the CoMC professor before him. I don't know, it's still pretty likely it was my friend. I'm just going to not think about it.

Kelsey: ONLY IF WE GET CAUGHT CURSEBREAKING WHICH IS A BIG IF! We are Ravenclaws for a reason, Gryffindors are the reckless peeps that always get caught.

Isaac: I have no idea, I'm just proposing some random ideas. I'm not really bothered by the whole Ashwinder eggs mystery anyway.

Isaac: Yeah I have to agree with you there.

You kicked the door? Isaac, no wonder it doesn’t make any exceptions for you! That’s like physical assault, if you kicked a real person instead of a portrait they could get a restraining order. You’re lucky it even still lets you in at all.

It’s just so annoying all the time. It should just let me in period. Screw Ravenclaw with her dumb only the worthy who can solve the dumb riddles are allowed in. It’s not like it feels anything.

becclaw:

Nope, the nurse has way too much on her hands and she seems like the only person really qualified for that kind of thing. Well – not only person, obviously, since people like Professor Longbottom have kids, but still. I guess the parents could take care of them but that would be so hard to be away from your baby for so long right after it was born. It depends on what type of mother they want to be,I suppose, and how involved they want to be in their child’s life. Yes! I was curious, he didn’t seem to mind the idea all that much. I’m 15, thank you very much, my birthday was in December. And she still likes you after you said that? Wow, she must either be really sure she can change your mind, or only want you for your body.

Yeah, and it seems like way too many people get injured all the time anyway. It’s like some of these people are hurting themselves on purpose to see the nurse more often. I doubt Professor Longbottom wants to take care of some random students kids, he probably prefers spending time in his classroom taking care of his plants anyway. Maybe those students have like rules that they can take the floo to visit their kid like 3 times a week or something. I don’t think it has ever happened before though. Otherwise you would have probably read it somewhere and you would have told me by now. 14 or 15 is not all that big of a difference to be honest. But I’ll try to remember your age from now on :). I have no idea what her deal is. I try to make sure she realizes I’m not interested and even when I’m annoyed by her I try my best not to be too rude to her again.

Who do you want to be your Valentine?

I don’t want anyone to be my valentine. Not interesed in anyone at the moment.

becclaw:

I think she meant they’re both in the middle of water, but I guess it was close enough for the portrait to take pity on you. Were you mean to it once or something? I feel like it’s a lot nicer to me when I have a bathroom emergency.

Yeah probably. I may have yelled at it a few times ... including today. I also might have kicked the door a few times when it wouldn’t let me in. Or tried to open it without answering a riddle. Maybe the doorknob just hates me because of that.

becclaw:

What would somebody even do if they had a baby while they were at Hogwarts? I guess they’d have to drop out, right, since it obviously can’t live in the castle? Nothing yet, but he said he burned a hole in his tongue with one one time and I was curious and wanted to see it. Nope! People are always telling everyone they’re too young but we youths are the people of the future, we should be able to feel what we feel and think what we think and do what we do without being degraded for it. Oh! Right, I think you mentioned that before. Did she try to ask you to the dance again this time?

Yeah, I don’t think there is like a staff member who can take care of the baby. Maybe there are professors who have kids too and there is someone at Hogwarts who takes care of them? Or maybe you would have your parents taking care of your baby? I think dropping out is the most realistic thing. You wanted to see him burn another hole in his tongue or you just want to see his tongue hole? Of course you’re allowed to feel what you feel and do what you do and think what you think without being degraded but I would tell you that you are only 14 or 15 year olds or however old you are and that you are very young and might fall in love somewhere down the road. But who knows, I think you know yourself the best. She still tries to get after me, even after I told her that her personality was horrible. Which I kind of regret because it was really mean but still.

An island is in the middle of water. The letter ‘T’ is in the middle of the word ‘water’. Not that hard.

I hate riddles so much. After Hogwarts I’m never doing a riddle ever again. What does it even have to do with being smart or creative when I are not able to come up with them.

olstarhopkins:

Hey, old man, I’m not that young, I’ve just got real weird tastes, memes included. The Youtube videos were fascinating! All the iterations of the Bee Movie and Shrek and episodes of LazyTown really stretched creativity! Small little humans who only do stupid stuff is the appeal of the shows like America’s Funniest Home Videos.

I would hypothesize that weird tastes and age are probably related. There was also one where they made the Shrek Song but with Windows 95 sounds. I’m just glad I’m old enough to never have dealt with Windows 95 because those sounds were annoying. I think those shows also have old people who do dumb stuff .... and animals.

Clara McLaggan & Isaac Fawcett @finestmclaggen

7th of february 2027, the evening. 

Binn’s classroom

Clara & Isaac are in detention. 

Clara

Clara McLaggen was a good person; she (tried) paid attention in classes, did her extracurricular activities with grace and she was good at what she did. And there were times when she took that dedication a little too far. Tonight, it was the library. She was there, long after hours and only sneaking out when she thought the coast was clear. Well too bad, she got caught and here she was, back in detention again. 

Now, Clara didn’t mind doing lines during detention. But she was tired and she just wanted to go back to her bed and sleep. But instead, here she was, doing lines and staring into the back of Isaac Fawcett, that tea versus coffee guy. She smiled ruefully as she scratched into her parchment, remembering the same time last year. Those were some bittersweet times. 

Watching out for Binns, the Gryffindor hastily scratched down a note asking him about his reason for detention, and then stealthily tried to kick his bench to catch his attention.  

Isaac

Isaac absentmindedly wrote some lines. He didn’t really care all that much. He wasn’t scared by Binns and the worst thing he could do was complain with Professor Purvis or Headmaster Flitwick. That would lose him some more points for Ravenclaw and then he would plead with them to do a different detention than writing lines with a teacher whose class he didn’t even take. If Purvis was in a good mood she would probably even listen.

After a while he noticed that Clara was kicking his bench. Quickly he looked up at Binns who wasn’t even paying any attention. He rolled his eyes, nothing had changed about the teacher. He could probably just turn around and have a chat with Clara and after about an hour Binns would probably allow them to go back to their common rooms and get some rest. When he finally turned around towards the younger Gryffindor he saw she had written some note.

“I was going for a walk.” He whispered, not being bothered to write her back a note. “How about you?” It kind of made him think about the detention they had last year.

becclaw:

Naomi actually seems like she might be the type who has, if you ever want to see if she has a copy lying around. Or you could epxlore, too, but it’s a lot more time efficient if you have some idea of where you’re going to start off with. Metaphors aren’t just for books, they’re for helping people all around the world process things they otherwise might not understand by relating a new concept to something they do understand.

I’m going to say no to that. Partly because I don’t want to read Hogwarts a History and also because I don’t want to talk to Naomi if I don’t need to talk to her. That is working surprisingly well when we are at Hogwarts. Besides, even if I would know exactly where the Chamber of Secrets is I would first need to learn snake, or take some slytherin with me who can.... maybe Sofia is a secret parseltongue but in that case she can read the book and I’ll just go and look for it at first. You are probably right, even though I just remain convinced that most of the dumb riddles don’t make any sense. Why can’t they just give me a math problem or something. It’s not like I’m very good at that but at least it always makes sense.
