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.

Comments

[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?

[not_a_hero]

Five and a start. It amazes me to some degree that clever as Ravenclaws are supposed to be, they're undone by their curiosity. How easily they'd wipe us all out with a quick round of "Is This Poisonous?".

[preanimator]

You're assuming everyone who inspects your belongs will be caught in your trap. But a little intellectual curiosity can be a healthy thing, if it isn't taken to certain absurd extremes.

[not_a_hero]

The belief in a trap is more powerful than the presence of one.

The benefits of intellectual curiosity granted, I fail to see how bowing to the least common denominator in my expectations for privacy is to be tolerated.

[preanimator]

Pure practicality. It's not as though you can change the nature of those around you.

Well, not without getting in trouble with the professors.

[3potionproblem]

I don't have to bow to the masses either. I chose not to.

[preanimator]

No one's saying you should. Just expect that a lot of people will end up in the infirmary.
