Seamus: First things first
Seamus: Hermione Granger you are a gift from the heavens and my ears thank you
Hermione: Not what I expected first thing in the morning but thank you
Seamus: welcome
Dean: Harry on the other hand
Dean: you sir are the devil incarnate and deserve to step on a lego
Harry: fair enough
Hermione: What did he do?
Seamus: woke us up
Hermione: But if he didn't then you might have been late for classes and would have missed breakfast
Dean: That part was fine. I appreciate that he helped us out
Dean: what I DONT appreciate is being woken up by freezing cold water being dumped on me
Seamus: What do you have to say for yourself Potter
Harry: that it was very funny
Harry: Also I tried being nice about it and you hit me with a pillow
Hermione: it sounds like you all had an eventful morning
Harry: something like that yea
Dean: "eventful"
Harry: next time I'll do something different then
Seamus: I don't like the expression you're making
Dean: What are you thinking mate?
Harry: If I told you then you'd be prepared and we can't have that
Dean: SEE! Devil Incarnate!
Hermione: Good luck Seamus and Dean. Harry, don't be too evil
Seamus: Bless Hermione
Dean changed Harry's name to Devil Incarnate
Devil Incarnate: Why? Just why?
Dean: It needed to be done
Devil Incarnate: I'll remember this.
Seamus: Dean. I think you made it worse for us
Hermione: Based on the face he's making I agree
Dean: the risk I took was calculated
Dean: but man am I bad at math
Seamus: Speaking of math, how are we supposed to keep up with our non magical schooling? Math. science. things like that.
Hermione: I've asked some older students and they don't teach anything like that here. They said the closest is arithmancy, which you can take in third year.
Devil Incarnate: Arithmancy?
Hermione: it's basically assigning numerical value to words for divination. So like predicting the future with numbers
Seamus: That sounds nothing like anything we'd learn in school
Dean: technically we could learn it in school after two years
Seamus: you know what I mean!
Hermione: I was thinking of asking my parents to send me some homeschooling books so I could keep on top of it.
Devil Incarnate: Probably a good idea. I don't know what type of jobs the wizarding world has to offer and if there's nothing interesting it'd be best to have a fallback option
Devil Incarnate: could you have them send me a copy too? I can pay for it
Hermione: Sure. Hang on a sec and I'll ask them real quick
Dean: you don't have to answer if you don't want to but why can't your relatives send it? You mentioned they are muggles before
Devil Incarnate: They don't want anything to do with magic, and that includes owl post. Anything out of their definition of "normal" they pretend doesn't exist
Seamus: Mate that sucks
Dean: yeah. Sorry if I crossed a line
Devil Incarnate: You didn't don't worry. You said I didn't have to answer if I didn't want to but I don't mind talking about it
Hermione: I'm back. Mum and Dad said they'll look for some and send it as soon as they get the books
Seamus: Awesome. I should probably ask my folks to do the same
Dean: Me too. Don't want to risk getting out of Hogwarts and then needing to study seven years of regular schooling to catch up
Dean: Or worse. Having to do it on summer break
Seamus: better to just do it alongside the magic work
Devil Incarnate: agreed
Hermione: we can study together too! If you want to I mean
Seamus: An Angel I tell you. Hermione has blessed us with her presence
Devil Incarnate change Hermione's name to Angel
Angel: Why?
Devil Incarnate: "it needed to be done" - Dean Thomas
Devil Incarnate: Also I was the only one with a nickname so that needed to be fixed
Angel: Fair Enough
Seamus: Now Dean and I need to think of clever names
Dean: Just you. I know mine
Dean changed their name to Arts&Crafts
Devil Incarnate: I know the perfect one for Seamus
Devil Incarnate change Seamus' name to Pyromaniac
Pyromaniac: I can't help it that everything blows up when I cast spells!
Arts&Crafts: except it's in potions too, which doesn't use magic
Pyromaniac: I blame that on Snape
Angel: I wish I could disagree but…he hasn't really taught us anything
Devil Incarnate: Just throws recipes on the board and expects us to be perfect first try
Pyromaniac: then prowls the room looking for someone to yell at for messing up
Arts&Crafts: all in favor of adding potions to our study group topics say Aye
Devil Incarnate: Aye
Angel: Aye
Pyromaniac: Aye
Here's chapter 2 like promised! I'll tell you this, it took me an eternity to think of nicknames for everyone. And I'm still stuck on all the characters I haven't added yet. If anyone has any ideas for Anthony Goldstein and Justin Finch-Fletchey feel free to suggest them. I don't know either character very well and google doesn't give me enough hints to think of something.
I hope everyone enjoyed this chapter! I'll have the next two up shortly! Please Review, Follow, and Favorite!
