3 Cups of Tea

[jasmineofthewest]

Oh dear... Another one.

These recent reports in the Daily Prophet are most depressing, and it breaks my heart to know that these people are being murdered because they are not magical, and my thoughts go out to their family who also have to face such a terrible loss.

It is my belief that everyone is deserving of respect, kindness, and safety, Muggle or Wizard alike. Sadly, it doesn't seem as if that is going to happen any time soon. In the mean time, I hope all of you stay safe, and most of all I hope you all stand by each other and never let be insignificant things like "Blood Status" ever be an issue.

Also, if any of you need someone to talk to who will listen in these frightening and confusing time, then I am here for each and every one of you. I'm no therapist, but a nice talk can really help ease the mind!

Stay safe on your trip- and if you need anything at all, don't hesitate to contact me. I'm only one apparition away. But also, don't forget to have a lot of fun, because you deserve it.

[He feels like he is being spoken to directly. Even if he isn't. It's just the paranoia, that once he gets back to school, the only people that will notice him at all are the ones who'll want him to talk about his dad...]

Yeah. Thanks, Professor.

[Oh Sid, his heart goes out to you. All of it.]

It's my pleasure to extend help I can by any means, you don't have to thank me! But I suppose it might just be easier and faster to say "You're Welcome", wouldn't it?

I have heard in extreme cases, people might write the first two letters of the sentence just to be quicker. Is this true?

[He is attempting to lighten the mood for Sid, because gosh he does not want the boy to hurt anymore or dwell on it more than he has to.]

...what?

[jasminofthewest.livejournal.com]

Hmm.

Perhaps I was mistaken, then.

[beanie-everyday.livejournal.com]

What do you mean, that if I were doing this sentence, I would do the 'W' and the 'H' at the same time?

[jasminofthewest.livejournal.com]

... And now you're confusing me.

I meant, for example, that if one wanted to say "You're Welcome" faster, then they might write "YW", and I wanted to know if that was actually true.

[beanie-everyday.livejournal.com]

That's the first letter of every word, not the first two in the sentence...

[jasminofthewest.livejournal.com]

... Yes, you're right.

[beanie-everyday.livejournal.com]

People do write yw though. Muggles abbreviate a lot of things. There's...ty, lol, brb, gtfo...a lot of others, too. Mostly just on the internet.

[jasminofthewest.livejournal.com]

That is fascinating! I may have to remember this in the future, perhaps it might make my lectures faster so there is more time for important things, like making delicious cookies and tea.

What do some of those other ones mean?

[beanie-everyday.livejournal.com]

[Cookies are definitely more important than lectures.]

Thank you, laugh out loud, be right back, and get the fuck out.

[jasminofthewest.livejournal.com]

[Iroh agrees wholeheartedly.]

Maybe it would be best to leave out that last one.

[beanie-everyday.livejournal.com]

During class, yeah, probably.

[jasminofthewest.livejournal.com]

Either way, 'ty' for telling me more about this! It's very interesting. For as long as I have lived around muggles, you would think I would know more things like this, but it seems I learn more every day.

[beanie-everyday.livejournal.com]

It's no problem. Oh, they use np for that, sometimes.

Thank you, Professor. I'll try.
