Watching the quidditch match made me think. I wonder who first looked at a broomstick and thought 'I'm going to fly on that'.

I know, right? After all these years, I still can't get used to seeing them.

[writtendestiny]

It makes me ponder on the sanity of the first person who thought to enchant a broomstick to make it fly. Why a broomstick?

[allamericanreject]

You know that's a good question. Theres so many better things I figure. But hey wizards are weird, haha. At least we can fly! flying is cool!

[writtendestiny]

What about when you fall?

[allamericanreject]

Trip to the hospital wing i guess. I dont fall that often though. i guess wizards created such good healing magic because theyre way reckless sometimes.

[writtendestiny]

Too reckless?

Are you sick?

[allamericanreject]

Point taken. :P so this is why its good I turned out a wizard cuz i'm reckless you know! let the record show though, i said "way" reckless not too reckless!

[writtendestiny]

It could be argued that Muggles are more reckless in comparison since they don't have healing magic.

What do you think of that?

[allamericanreject]

Hmm.

I mean maybe so but muggles also go through a lot of trouble making safety devices. seatbelts and fire extinguishers and they fly in airplanes. those arent exactly giant deathtraps. They're really safe in their own way?

[writtendestiny]

In their own way. But which is better?

[allamericanreject]

I dunno.

I dont think I can say because wizards hide from muggles and have all these great things but muggles make great things without even knowin what wizards do.

So i couldnt tell you.

[writtendestiny]

Why do we have to hide from them? That's always seemed so stupid. Everything they do affects us but we're not allowed to interfere with them.

[allamericanreject]

I dunno that either it seems like an old outdated rule. hmm. probs should have listened in History. Me i mean. I bet you do.

[writtendestiny]

Sometimes. But history doesn't always have the answers.

[allamericanreject]

No it doesnt. But i think the statute of secrecy was done up because of witch hunts and stuff. sounds right anyway.

[writtendestiny]

Oh right, yeah.
It's still kind of lame.

[faolchu]

Who wouldn't? T'is only natural they'd choose a broom!

[writtendestiny]

Why is that?

[faolchu]

You can hold onto it.

[ein_prosit]

Maybe you could look up "Quidditch through the Ages". The book is in the library and it might have the answer.

[writtendestiny]

That's a good idea!

[Why didn't you think of that, Poison?]

[kantstoppfantstopp]

Spoiler: It was me.

[writtendestiny]

Idiot.

[kantstoppfantstopp]

No you.
