As much as this school seems to want to dictate my entire life, I’ll choose my own friends from now on, thanks.

[Ari]
I missed you yesterday. I’m sorry.
I don’t know what I was thinking.
I’m really tired of potions.

[Ruby]
[...] So listen You’re not so
I suppose I owe you one murder attempt or equivalent, then we’re even.

We need water bottles.

[odder]

The only thing I’m ever drinking again is aguamenti water directly from my wand to my mouth.

[bubblewrapped]

The only safe option. But now you're always one misfire away from a water fight.

[odder]

Oh no. Every day will be Dyngus Day.

[bubblewrapped]

Honestly, impromptu Dyngus Day sounds worlds better than the looming threat of personality-altering poisons.

Spooky Kids

I know.
I took Occlumency so this school couldn’t get in my head and I still spent all day hanging on Ruby Oberholtzer.
Maybe I’m not good enough at it. There’s got to be a way to make your system reject potions.

Spooky Kids

[bubblewrapped]

Oh wow. [...] Are you two, you know, actual friends now or [...] was that just an interesting detour?
I wonder if building up an immunity by doing yourself with small amounts works?

[magitechnically]

OMG but I have the COOLEST new friend now so it was actually pretty GREAT???

Spooky Kids

[odder]

I don’t imagine it’ll stick. I’m sure she’ll be back to herself today.
She did try to kill Riley for me. That was nice.
Do you think? I don’t know much about potions. I would only really want to try that in a very controlled setting.

[odder]

You got lucky.

[magitechnically]

Who did you get??? Were they AWFUL???

[odder]

Ruby.

[magitechnically]

But Ruby is GREAT??? She's my daughter!!!

Spooky Kids

[bubblewrapped]

No kidding? Dang. I've really got to step up my game.

The magical aspects might interfere. Or, gosh, who knows, you might cause lasting damage. Could you imagine the ways overdosing on Amortentia could mess you up?

[odder]

I still don’t want to be friends with anyone because of some potion.

Spooky Kids

[odder]

No you don’t. Anyway, I’m working to keep my murder more conceptual until I can’t be expelled for it anymore.
Imagine if it was something like falling in love with everyone you saw for the rest of your life.

Spooky Kids

[bubblewrapped]

Well, conceptual murder packages are one of the friendship services I provide.

That would be awful. I'd need so many more poetry notebooks.

[magitechnically]

At least it wasn't someone super SMELLY.

Spooky Kids

[odder]

And at such a bargain. Did you escape this one, or do I have to go theoretically kill my replacement?
You’d run out of rhymes awfully fast. (Love at first sight, like a kite only has so many variations.)

[odder]

I could’ve taught them what perfume smells best

Spooky Kids

[bubblewrapped]

I don't think so. I could just pick someone at random, though, if you're in the mood to plot an assassination.

Not to mention pining is exhausting.

[magitechnically]

We should totally play that game anyway??? Mine's in a kitty bottle!!!

[professionalcorpse]

hey, but by the time we graduate, literally ANYTHING real life wants to throw at us will be so much less traumatizing than intended.

Spooky Kids

[odder]

That sounds fun, actually. Who can I kill?
It is. I’d hate that.
Archie works with love potions a lot. Maybe he experienced side effects

[odder]

Mine smells like a grave.
