[Daily Mantra: I am now the proud, beautiful, blue beast of Hogwarts of unsurpassable strength and determination! I shall tackle each day head on with unbreakable, youthful resolve!]

You would not believe it...

Gai-sensei and I were heading to the airport early this morning to catch my 7:30 am flight to Hong Kong when he stopped in his tracks and

What is a 'Squib'? I remember someone explained it once....

[truetensai]

Ah! Osaka-san! Hisashiburi desu ne...

A 'squib' is a non-magical individual born to wizard parents...My parents are very powerful wizards...and maybe my brother...but I never was, really...

I'm glad to hear from you again ^^

[brilliant_osaka]

But if you are non-magical, you would not be able to attend Hogwarts. But you were, so you must be magical. Someone should write to them and explain that.

[truetensai]

Ah, well...I was hoping I would find out once I get to Hogwarts...

I guess I will have to wait until then...

[black_songbird]

I'm sorry to hear of such horrible happenings.

I'm sure you can prove them wrong and become a great user of Magic, Lee-san.

I have faith in you, handsome.~

[truetensai]

*blushes* Thank you so, very much...You are always reassuring...

I guess being in Hong Kong with my parents isn't that bad...well, I can certainly tell teh difference in their attitude towards me ever since I got accepted...

I will work my hardest!!

[black_songbird]

That's the spirit! I know you'll do great things here! Everyone's heart is in the right spot when ambition is at hand, and you're filled with it.

[truetensai]

Thank you so very much! You know what I'll do? I will take that article and paste the words, 'beautiful, green beast' (just like my Gai-Sensei!) over 'squib' and hang it up in my room to reassure myself everyday, for I am Rock Lee, the proud, hard-working green beast of Konoha, and I can do anything I set my mind to!

(I'll also cut out the other part about the standards of HOgwarts declining....>_<;;)

[onetruejustice]

I believe you will take great joy in proving the imbeciles wrong.

[truetensai]

Thank you for your confidence! It is an honour. I hear you are are extremely intelligent...

[holdontime]

That's not nice of them to write about you. Especially when you obviously tried so hard to become what you are.

[truetensai]

I may be from a Wizarding ninja village...but I am only a ninja. True, I have tried extremely hard to become a great ninja for the seemingly lack of magical powers...but I guess no one appreciates it much...

I still will prove to everyone how strong and capable I am!

[holdontime]

Wow, you're a ninja? That's so great! I enjoy painting fight scenes, but I've never done a hand-to-hand combat so far. It should be interesting...if you won't mind, of course.

And goodluck to you! Proving people what you're worth and making them realise that you're more than enough? Yeah...I can relate to that.

[[D'awwww, that icon makes Lee almost...pretty.]]

[truetensai]

Ah! I am not exactly sure what you think I won't mind *tries to speak coherent English*, but I am sure I will be glad to help you with anything as long as it has to do with taijutsu!

Proving people what I'm worth? I have been doing it since the youth of my youth! I train intensely everyday for my way of the ninja!

[Yeah...I can relate to that.]

Could you elaborate? I'd love to hear your stories! Perhaps we have a lot in common!

[[Perhaps ^^. Either way, Lee is beautiful <3<3 XD Don't kill me...]]<\font>

[iheart_history]

What an awful thing for them to do... Where is Konoha? I can't say I've heard of it.

Welcome to Hogwarts nonetheless. I'm Professor Daniel Jackson.

[truetensai]

Ah! It is a pleasure to meet you, Jackson-sensei!

Konoha is one of the great wizarding ninja villages...Konohagakure translates into "Hidden Leaf Village". Others would include the Hidden Village of Sand, Sound, ect...

I do not know how to react about the newspaper...I already got so much (unwanted) attention for being a squib in Konoha...

What do you teach, Jackson-sensei?

[[OoC: Lee is used to calling his teachers 'sensei'. He doesn't know what to refer his teachers in english because he has always spoken Japanese...]]

[iheart_history]

You too... Lee, was it?

Oh, right, Konohagakure. It's been a while. For a moment I was wondering what you meant by 'leaves'.

So that's an advertised thing around there? That's really a shame. Hopefully you'll get better treatment here at Hogwarts.

Ancient History. Would you be taking that?

((That's fine~ Daniel actually speaks Japanese, so it's no problem for him.))

[truetensai]

Ancient History....? I LOVE history! I certainly plan on taking it if I can!

Yes, sir! I am Rock Lee, the proud, green beast of Konohagakure!

Konoha-jin are quite gossipy, but the status of the Wizarding ninja is never usually discussed in the papers...but being the first actual ...'squib'.... from Konoha (and I think, anywhere else) to be accepted into Hogwarts, I think that this is why this has happened...
