Beware, The Private Diary Of Aaron Peter Callahan.
Hi, so I'm told you can talk.
That's right, but I wouldn't call this talking, it's more just writing back.
Wow! So my mom was right? You really can talk?
Yeah, I can talk. But like I said, it's more writing back. And something about moms, There right a lot of the time.
Um, do you have a name? something I can call you by, cause I feel kinda awkward just calling you you.
Not exactly, But you can call me Mark. And enough with the introductions, you want to start planing for a few big things to, "liven things up a bit", no?
Well, yeah, but how did you know?
I can read your mind. But not exactly how you'd think. I can only see the things on top, and right now thats pranks, schemes, and all around mischief. But you should probably get going to your next class. I've go some good ideas, but it's always safer to have the teachers on your side.
Re: Beware, the Private Diary of Aaron Peter Callahan.
Hey Mark.
Well, hi there yourself
So, you said you had some ideas?
You bet I did. OK, so listen up close. You get some dungbombs, use a concealment charm and string them all across a hallway. Someone walks into it, and it'll be the messiest situation you've ever seen! You can also throw some fanged frisbees into the prefect's bathroom, but you'd have to put a charm on them so that they stay in the air longer. And you can give away cockroach clusters and call them cashews.
Awesome! The only problems would be, I have to learn two charms, and the password to the prefects bathroom. I'll get working on that right away!
Re: Beware, the Private Diary of Aaron Peter Callahan.
Hi Mark. Second day here, or can you tell time for yourself?
I can tell time for myself. I can also remember everything ever writen to me, and those are just two of many talents.
Ok, well guess what.
Am I supposed to guess, or is that one of those rhetorical questions?
Rhetorical question. So the thing is, today is the day I get to learn the cool stuff. There's Transfiguration, Charms, and Defence Against the Dark Arts.
Oh, good, this is where you learn what you can use. Transfigurations always good, but you can't transfigure people untill about 6th year, and thats still very far away. Charms was mentioned before, and that might be the most valuable one. Defence Against the Dark Arts is also good -- and I'm not saying that just for your plans. There is also You-Know-Who to consider.
Who's You-Know-Who?
You don't know who You-Know-Who is? well its a long story, and you'll hear of it before long.
Well, I should probably get down to breakfast now. Bye!
Re: Beware, the Private Diary of Aaron Peter Callahan.
Hey Mark, wats up?
Well I'm a book, so not much. So, whats your problem. Planing to execute one of the pranks yet?
No, I ca't do any of the pranks because I don't know any spells, I I got into a little something yesterday and decided I'll only learn so much here. I need to do some things myself.
That probably is a good idea, and its been had by many. The best place to learn spells is the Library, but watch out for the librarian, if you blow up one of her books she'll be veeeeeeery angry, so find somewhere else, a deserted classroom maybe, to do the acctual practice. And don't spend to muh time poracticing spells, or you'll be missed inbreakfast or potions. Write you later.
Ok, if I want to get started right away I need to get started right now, so bye!
Re: Beware, the Private Diary of Aaron Peter Callahan.
Hi Mark, the first few stages are complete. I've got a good book, I've found an empty classroom, and I've got 30 minutes practice time. But what exactly do I practice on? Do I sneak back into my dormitory and snatch a sleeping student?
Tell me you were just joking. I don't need an answer for that, sneak in and snatch a sleeping student? If you wan't me to point out some of the many things that could go wrong...
Never mind that, I was just joking. But I mean it. I don't know of any way to practice some of these spells exept to use them on someone.
There isn't any way to practice some of those spells exept to use them on someone. So you'll just have to do the ones that don't require a test dummy and see how far that gets you.
Ok, I just wondered. Get back to you as soon as I can.
Re: Beware, the Private Diary of Aaron Peter Callahan.
Hi! Sorry for not writing you for this long but I've been concentrating on operation big mess.
So you finally got that underway?
Yeah, and I still have some dungbombs left. It was really hard getting them, cause my mom would never let me have any and so I had to convince my dad. And then he had to get my mom to get them because he's a muggle, so I just set it early this morning.
have you checked to see if anyone has hit it yet?
No, I havn't. and I have enough dungbombs for another net if anyone has walked into it.
Then I say go for it. And a little advice. make friends with an older student -- third year or up -- and ask him to get you some fanged frizbees and cockroach clusteres next hogsmead trip.
Hogsmead? Whats that?
It's a village not to far from here. I think I heard somewhere that its the only pure wizarding village in all of Great Britain, too.
And the third or older years get to go there every once in a while?
Yep.
Oh yeah, and one more thing.
Fire away
Well, I found a spell that I can use on some intelligent paper and put it somewhere, and everything said nearby will appear on the paper.
And let me guess. You don't have any other intelligent paper, so you want to do the spell on me. And then you'll put me by the entrance to the prefects bathroom, and the next prefect walking by will have to say the password, so he'll say it and you'll have the password.
If you don't mind. I can always find another way, but this one presented itself and seemed like a good idea.
I'll do it, but you'd better make sure it's not going to take the other enchantment off or something like that.
Oh, I'm sure it will work. this one had a desciption of what the spell should look like -- just because it looks really interesting -- and I practiced untill it looked right.
Well I guess so.
Great! Why don't we do it tomorow, cause it's late and I doubt anybody will be needing to use the bathroom now.
Thats fine with me. And in case you were wondering, I have no problems with being stationed by the door all night.
Nice hearing from ya. What happened, where you kidnapped or something? I havn't heard from you for a while.
No, I've just been kinda busy, but I've been thinking. The whole reason I do these pranks is to have fun, but I think for the best experience I should probably wait until I've found someone else on this old rock who I can stand and who is around my age. There are a lot of people in here, right? I just don't see why I never see anybody.
I've heard a little about it, and you should have seen someone who meets those requirments. Knowing you, and from what I know of this school, it's practicly made of people like that.
Maybe I'm just not in the right place in the right time. You know, being in the right place at the right time is how I met Ben, my best friend back at home.
Being in the right place at the right time is pretty much how I met you, too. I won't go into any details, but your mom saw me as she turned her head for no reason in particular, and you can probably figure out what happened then.
Well, bye. And if you come up with any ideas, please let me know.
