Heh heh heh... I found the charm to unstick the pages at last. Blagg, Nunnerly, your hours are numbered.

Somebody told me that ghosts walk through people. None have ever walked through me. Perhaps that means they are smart.


My crab ran away....

That last Potions assignment is a trick. Each person only got part of the instructions. What we have to do is put all the pieces together and find someone something to test it on. Or look up the effects in the textbook, but how much fun would that be?

[[Stopgap post the third: strikes illegible; Blagg and Nunnerly are Jei's NPC roommates; underline is a strike that got skewed and didn't work; and any other first-years may go ahead and run with the idea!

Jei's journal pages have been glued together since his last entry, but he's been in school and going to classes as usual, save for his normal absences around full-moon time.]]

Your... crab?

[jeitaken.livejournal.com]

...

*sighs* The crab... Professor Dalma sent me..... *tries to be nonchalant* It must have run off.


[[Hi there! :DDDD]]

[nogyaru.livejournal.com]

... Oh, so, your pet? Want me to help look for it?

((ooc: *Great hug of welcome back-ness*))

[jeitaken.livejournal.com]

*hesitates, then grins and nods*

It's white. *which may not help as all of Tia Dalma's crabs were white, but hey* And it makes a scuttling sound and has a chip off its shell near the last leg on the right.


[[^___^ Thank you! *hugs back*]]

[nogyaru.livejournal.com]

Wow... that's... descriptive. You must know him- er- her well!

((ooc: 8D~))

[jeitaken.livejournal.com]

Yes. It's mine.


*doesn't know if it's male or female because with a crab, who can tell?*

[[\o7! oops, wrong character XDDD]]

[nogyaru.livejournal.com]

I guess, but I don't even know Bella that well. Even though I cuddle with her every night...

[jeitaken.livejournal.com]

*grins* Details are important. There were so many crabs around at first, I had to find a way of telling White apart.

Or maybe the ghosts don't see you because you're small. Of course, ghosts generally walk through people by accident or if they're particularly mean. Were they referring to possession when they told you that?

((Heeey, it's our little, somewhat-creepy buddy!))

[jeitaken.livejournal.com]

Not that small. Do you think they don't like it either?

..Possession...? *alarmed* That was supposed to be a myth....


[[And heyyy, it's his not-so-creepy yet cheerfully morbid pal! *D]]

[krokodilstranen.livejournal.com]

I don't think they feel it.

Now who told you that? Possession is a very real phenomena. It's happened quite a lot throughout history.

[jeitaken.livejournal.com]

It must be strange to be a ghost....

They said I wasn't Y-you're having me on, aren't you? Possession by... what? *shivers*


[[Strike very vigorously blotted out with ink splatters and stabbity lines -- he really, really doesn't want to think about that]]

[krokodilstranen.livejournal.com]

I suppose so! But, we won't find out until we pass on, right?

*assumes he's just scared of ghosts* I'm not~ Demon possession, possession by ghosts, it happens! Perhaps not often, but it is real. I'm surprised that you don't believe it's real, I mean you are a wizard after all.

[jeitaken.livejournal.com]

The Gray Lady said that ghosts never find out. *winces*

*grits teeth* The d--
..someone back at home said possession was a myth and it couldn't happen that way. He....

*clams up suddenly, looking as though someone just walked over his grave*

He couldn't convince them....

[shirayukiwitch.livejournal.com]

Got pranked?

Trust me, not a pleasant exprience in the least. You're not missing out on anything.

White ran away?

[jeitaken.livejournal.com]

*grins at the familiar voice* My journal wouldn't open. But I found a way to fix it. *pleased with his accomplishment*

They're cold, I know that much. They let me walk around them. *pauses* One walked through you, then?

*frowns* It wasn't in my dorm... I can always hear its shell clicking.


[[Heyyyy thar! XDDD]]

[shirayukiwitch.livejournal.com]

Good for you!

...Once, when I was a first year. *Shudder*

Maybe it's around the common room.

[ooc: Hello, dear~]

[jeitaken.livejournal.com]

*eeee! swells up with pride at the compliment*



..Maybe someone Petrified it and that's why I can't hear it? *worried*

[shirayukiwitch.livejournal.com]

Can ghosts be Petrified? I'll have to ckeck it with the Professor.

[jeitaken.livejournal.com]

Ghosts!? *was talking about the crab*

Heh heh heh... I wonder if Petrified ghosts can turn solid?
