Michael and I found his necklace today. It was in the library under a bookcase. I was looking around to see if maybe it had got caught on one of the shelves or a book or something, and this huge book fell off the shelf and hit me on the head. But since it knocked me down I was on the floor and could see under the bookcase and there it was. The necklace, not the book. Although the book was on the floor too.

And the book is all about magical theory, so maybe the bookcase knew what I wanted and shoved it out at me? Because I wanted to know more about what magic is, and I wanted to find Michael's necklace and now I've got both.

I don't know how much the book is going to help me though, it's awfully big.

Thank you. Again.

And if the book knew what you wanted to know, could it know what page would work, too? Open it randomly, like, and see what you see?

[alt_theodore]

I don't know if it was the book that knew or the bookcase that knew.

But I don't think it's going to work anyway because it's sort of giving me a headache. And not just because it fell on my head.

[alt_draco]

That's odd that in the whole of this giant castle you found it within a days time.

[alt_theodore]

We went back to where he last remembered having it. That's the best way of finding lost things, you know.

[alt_pansy]

Try reading the book. That's usually the way you get help from them.

[alt_theodore]

I did.

[alt_pansy]

You just answered a lot of questions I had about you. Thank you for that.

[alt_theodore]

At least I know the difference between Charms and Arithmancy.

[alt_pansy]

What do you know. The boy CAN read.

I think we should make this a national holiday or something.

[alt_theodore]

I can read the book, Pansy. I just don't understand a lot of it yet. Just because it's complicated, it doesn't mean I'm thick.

[alt_pansy]

No need to be snippy. I'm just teasing you.

[alt_theodore]

Were you? It's hard to tell.

[alt_pansy]

Good.

[alt_pansy]

P.S. If it helps, there's a lot about magic I don't understand. But don't you dare repeat that. I do have ammunition and I will use it.

[alt_theodore]

I wasn't planning on telling anyone, but you do know everyone can read this, right?

[alt_pansy]

Er. Um. Right. My bad.

So... can you help me with my charms homework?

[alt_theodore]

Okay. But you have to tell me what you think magic is and where it comes from after we're done.

[alt_pansy]

If I must. On the bright side, I can tell you right now where I'd like my charms classes to go.
