Is there anything more comforting than spending a rainy afternoon sipping tea and reading a good book? I've discovered some fascinating novels. There aren't enough hours in the day to read as much as I'd like. I'm curious if anyone shares my problem. So many words to read, especially when you're making up for lost time.

They were always pretty good. We're nothing compared to the Cup, though.

[dumbles]

No, the Quidditch Cup is a sight to behold. I've only had the pleasure to attend the Cup once in my life. I believe the Chudley Cannons were triumphant that day. I was... thirteen at the time.

[alwaysreturns]

The last time they won was 1892.

[what]

[dumbles]

That's right. It was a good event, anyway. My best mate Elphias and I were decked out in Orange for weeks after.

[SQUINT THAT NAME STANDS OUT A BIT and the year is super throwing him.]

Blimey, I wasn't even born then. What year is it for you?

[dumbles]

It's 1980, from what the Daily Prophet suggests, however, the last year I recall is 1920. Of course, we wizards do keep long lives so I suppose there is a real chance that my current self is still around. I should be, oh, 99 currently.

Merlin's saggy y fronts

[dumbles]

[It's a shame that sound does not carry because Ron would have been treated to a hearty laugh.

Now that is an image I will have difficulty erasing from my mind. Would Merlin's undergarments sag? I can say it has never occurred to me. Did he even wear undergarments?

No. That is one line of thought I won't follow. Like the man himself, it shall remain a mystery.

[alwaysreturns]

I bloody well hope so

[Wait what if this is who he thinks it might be, oh god he's cursing in front of Dumbledore oh no oh no]

I mean, that's just far off from my time

sir

[dumbles]

You sound like one of my former students. I suppose all the displaced are in the same boat, as it were. This isn't where we belong. How we arrived here is a mystery that, unlike Merlin's undergarments, I do intend to solve.

[alwaysreturns]

Yes

I mean, I think I might be

Not exactly used to talking to professors like this

[Especially dead ones. Yikes.]

Didn't know you were a Cannons fan, though

[dumbles]

These quills are quite interesting, although I doubt it will ever take the place of a well thought out letter delivered by owl. But, what do I know? We wizards seem to cling to the old ways. Have you been to muggle London? The leaps and bounds of muggle ingenuity borders on magic.

I must admit I have a fondness for the underdogs. The Cannons do make a good show of it, even if they've never been back to the World Cup.

May I ask what year you attended Hogwarts? I should hope that my Transfiguration class was enjoyable and informative.

[alwaysreturns]

Only a little. [When he was dodging snatchers, when wizard London felt a lot less safe than getting lost in a muggle crowd. He never thought that's where he'd ever feel safe.]

Their electronics are something else. Do they have fellytones yet? Those are great

[Hm. Does he sound like his dad??]

Well...you weren't exactly teaching Transfiguration.
