ten; YEAH WHAT

Goodness, I keep losing my journal. I believe it was in the kitchens? Whatever was it doing there? [ nervous scrawl. ]

How is everyone doing? I know it's been a while since the new term started, but everyone's been catching up in class, right? If you have any trouble, don't forget that I'm available in my office after class.

As for those transformations... I hope everyone's alright? I didn't exactly enjoy the experience. Being that small was extremely inconvenient.

True, usually the only way to truly get over a phobia is to face it head on and realize that the fear is irrational.

B-but... Transportation is dangerous.

Technically, we share the same position, but he is my senior, so usually what he says, goes. And besides, he doesn't have much else? It's a bit hard to make friends when you're so terse.

Well since you're a wizard, you don't really use cars, nor airplanes, so that leaves transportation like trains and the Knight Bus. You run only about a 2% chance of dying in an accident of that nature. Plus if you take safety precautinous like wearing a seatbelt, that helps increase your odds of survival.

I'm not trying to patronize your phobia though, Thobari. Everyone has them, and you have a legitimate reason for having this one. Stick to apparating. The worst thing you can do there is splinch yourself.

[ leaves a rather large inkblot, trying to decide how to answer that. ]

I've only splinched myself twice, and you know it. [ yeah, he might as well not have scratched it out in the first place ]

And that was when you were a teenager... many teenagers splinch themselves.

I've maintained an excellent record since then, too.
