Less than a week until my last year at Hogwarts begins. It's almost sad, how fast the time has flown.

I still remember the day that Jin came and sat with me, September first, seven years ago. He barged into my compartment without so much as a by-your-leave, flung himself into the adjacent seat, and hasn't shut up since.

Gay.

[O-oh this is. That upperclassman, isn't it? He's always seemed...dedicated. And polite enough. And. Oh dear. He doesn't quite know how to respond to the more serious parts of the entry, so...]

For what it's worth....best of luck with the NEWTs.

[Oh. Um. Right. The unwitting victim of his first few attempts to initiate small talk.]

Thank you. And you're headed for your OWLs this year? I wish you the best of luck. And if you need any help studying, I'm fairly decent with most subjects (Herbology and Care of Magical Creatures are my weakest subjects), and would be more than happy to help.

Ah, thank you! That's very kind.

We'll see how things go - I've done all right so far, but OWL year does get a lot harder, doesn't it?

[icyhowitis]

I won't lie and say that it's easy, but I will say that some reports of the difficulty of OWL year are exaggerated in the retelling. As long as you're willing to apply yourself, it shouldn't be too difficult.

Yeeeeeeeeah, cor that was forever ago wasn't it? We were so wee! And you were sooooo quite quiet (still are quiet).

Touya *lots of scribbled out attempts, because Jin is bad at choosing his words and worse at filtering*

Oughta be studying a lot this year, yuck. Need me best mate around for it, so *scribbled through words* don't hide in books all year and forget about me.

[A couple little scribbles, some hesitant splotches, before he finally decides to try to lighten the mood and not make Jin worry.]

Don't worry, you'll be hitting the books with me.

All. Year. Long.

[icyhowitis]
