I've decided that had we had to learn Goobledegook in Care of Magical Creatures, I probably would have enjoyed that class more. It was all right, I suppose, but goblins are so much more interesting than bowtruckles and the like. I mean, goblins are intelligent. Where would Gringotts be without them? You also never have to learn about Bowtruckle ( Read more... )

Complete nerd.

Just wait, I know that Annie's furiously writing up a response to this talking about all the goblin history she knows.

inreticence May 3 2009, 07:15:28 UTC

Oh you don't have to make it sound like that.

unsubtly May 3 2009, 07:15:56 UTC

HAHAHA CAUGHT IN THE ACT.

gwynd_chimes May 3 2009, 07:16:29 UTC

Any advice for her? I know you know the feeling.

unsubtly May 3 2009, 07:17:06 UTC

No, see, I always get caught after the fact.

inreticence May 3 2009, 07:24:01 UTC

At least when you're caught in the act you don't have the chance to carry it through.

unsubtly May 3 2009, 07:25:00 UTC

Most of the things I do that I could be caught at, I'd like to get the chance to finish off, sorry Annie.

Atta girl, Quigley. Don't be ashamed.

Pot. Kettle. Black, Miss I'll stay up all night just trying to figure out the right dosage and measurement because medical potions are so intriguing and difficult.

Oh I'm waiting. I needed some help going to sleep tonight.

I think the system needs to be re-examined, that's all!

Oh, well, if you'd rather do it that way...

puffpuffpasser May 3 2009, 07:29:04 UTC

Oh do you?

Well, I didn't say that. You know exactly what I'd prefer.

inreticence May 3 2009, 07:23:26 UTC

Well, I won't pretend to be a scholar but if you're ever interested in actually understanding goblin motivation in a historical context, send me an owl. I'd say I know more than most.

And it's just

puffpuffpasser May 3 2009, 07:28:01 UTC

More than goblins?

inreticence May 3 2009, 07:34:14 UTC

Enough to tell you that goblins are unlikely to tell you much of the story because they don't expect wizards to care.

Frankly, I can't blame them.

puffpuffpasser May 3 2009, 07:36:44 UTC

Well, Anne who knows it all, can you speak Gobbledegook?

inreticence May 3 2009, 07:39:34 UTC

Conversational. I don't count it because I rarely get to practise.
