YES.

Yes! Yes to that's exactly what I was talking about, yes to wanting to see the photos, yes to Ennis you're a saint, you're a genius, you're fantastic. ♥

I kind of stole borrowed the Bludger that did the deed to double check for interference. Someone thinks Anon made it do what it did to Wainwright, but it seems out of character? Anon doesn't seem like it'd go and knock anyone senseless. I'm a little skeptical, but the person who asked seemed convinced, and I can't deny it was strange.

They're always blaming Anon. That's why I That's why I didn't show anybody. I didn't want them to do a witchhunt. [...] Creaturehunt? By witches...

It doesn't sound like Anon at all, but they're so quick to blame them the second anything goes wrong.

I'll show you, but please don't show anybody else? I don't want the MACUSA agents finding out about it.

People have a really [...] simplistic understanding of Anon? And spirit entities in general. I won't tell them some of the things it does aren't totally creepy (if that's how they feel), but I don't think this entity is capable of deception. So accidents aside, I don't think it means to harm anyone. But Brother

Can I show them to Anuhea? DISCLAIMER: it's okay if you say no and want it to just be you and me. If it's for my eyes only, you've got my word. (Buuuut no matter what, the MACUSA people aren't getting their hands on our research. Promise.)

Some of the things Anon does [...] could reasonably be perceived as creepy? I always understood it as an ignorance of human social behavior and norms than anything meant to be malicious. They're not human so we shouldn't expect them to act like a human? They're curious about us and they're just trying their best. It's Brother I

[...] Okay, I suppose Anuhea is fine but only her? Please? The fewer people who know, the better.

It's a lot of overstepping boundaries, and it makes sense that Anon wouldn't really respect that inside someone's cabin is off limits. If I'm worried about Anon hurting anyone, it'd be by accident or because of some misinterpretation. Which is why I'm skeptical about the connection to Wainwright's injury or the chandelier dropping. We're missing something.

Thank you, and yes, I promise. Only her. And I agree. A lot of people at this school will take any excuse to panic, and I don't want to spread rumors and rile them up again.

We go into Anon's house all the time uninvited and we're even less considerate as guests. We leave gifts in the Grotto for them so they leave gifts in our cabins for us? We're setting an example of human behavior for Anon so it's really no surprise that they emulate it?

It's easy to blame Anon because they're the one who reaches out to talk to us, but I think people forget there is more than one entity?
