Back again in this appallingly dull school. Did I miss anything? Perhaps I shouldn't bother asking--figuring it out will be the highlight of my afternoon.

Just a reminder, no one is to touch my things. I'm not to be held responsible for any hexes or chemical burns sustained in the attempt.

[actuallyspeakslatin]

Don't let the teachers hear about your stuff being hexed.

[not_a_hero]

What are they going to do? Expel me? Hardly a viable threat.

[actuallyspeakslatin]

No, they'll take it all away.

[not_a_hero]

I'd very much enjoy watching the attempt. Their success would rather be mine as well.

[actuallyspeakslatin]

Teachers know how to deal with hexes.

[arrogantalloy]

You know. Every time you say that, it just makes me want to get into your things even more. And I don't even need anything from it.

[not_a_hero]

Careful, your stupid is showing. Might want to see to that. Must be catching from one of the other houses.

[arrogantalloy]

You know, for someone who didn't know the Earth goes around the sun. You throw that word at me a great deal, fun house.

I'm just saying you're giving me a wet paint sign. You know that's the best way for me to want to test the paint.

[not_a_hero]

I'll be sure to label my poisons "Do Not Drink" in the future.

[arrogantalloy]

Oh wow, you'll have had me there. Poisons aren't as interesting as a boring trunk I'm not allowed to touch.

[doctorkishitani]

Why isn't anyone allowed to touch your things?
Have you brought something especially volatile to school? What is it?

[not_a_hero]

It’s only volatile if put into the wrong hands—being any hands that are not my own.

[doctorkishitani]

Really?
Is it sentient in any way? It sounds like it may have imprinted on you.

[not_a_hero]

No, not sentient. Just hazardous.

[doctorkishitani]

Hazardous in what sense?

[greenmoonrising]

Sherlock, you do realize that if you don't want people touching your things, you shouldn't randomly grab other peoples' things either?

[not_a_hero]

You’re under the false assumption that anything they have is of any value to me. My things, on the other hand, are quite valuable.

And if they felt differently, they’d take better care not to let just anyone get at them. Hardly my fault.

[greenmoonrising]

You could always just, I don't know... ask?

[not_a_hero]

Why? The answer’s always ‘no’ when I do.

[greenmoonrising]

That's because you don't ask - you demand. If you attached a 'please' or a 'could I' in there somewhere you might be halfway to a 'yes'.

[preanimator]

Why, what have you got worth touching?

[not_a_hero]

Things only valuable to myself.

[preanimator]

Well, now everyone will be curious, I imagine. I suppose the nurse can handle an influx of patients.

[not_a_hero]

Is it really too much to request my things be left alone?

[preanimator]

In Ravenclaw Tower, after you've announced that you want people to stay out of your bag? Yes, it really is. How many years have you been here now, Holmes?
