[...]

I hate the fucking ghosts at this school. They're full of crap and just trying to freak us out. [...] Ri And them coupled with the mimics is just way too much junk going on all at once.

Anyway, I just wanted to check in, since you left kinda fast last night.

[...]

I'm not possessed, if that's your concern.

Ari/Hazel

[lilwitchhazel]

I was actually just worried about your feelings, but good to know.

Ari/Hazel

[novelling]

I'm afraid I haven't made a friend in Marg, but I think I'll survive.

Ari/Hazel

[lilwitchhazel]

Yeah, well, Marg sucks ass.

[...]

I'm kind of I'm a little That didn't get you keyed up or anything? I mean. The whole thing was just stupid and annoying, but. I don't know. This year is just intense.

Ari/Hazel

[novelling]

I [...] don't [...] like it.

But I can cast a patronus, and we know that gets rid of them.

Ari/Hazel

[lilwitchhazel]

[.........] What if something changes though, and that's not enough?

What if [.....] I'm [....] a little worried that this year will end like last year.

Ari/Hazel

[novelling]

[...] Based on what?

Ari/Hazel

[lilwitchhazel]

Everything, dude. The mimics, the ghosts that are still definitely around and still definitely shitheads, the fact that at least some of the MACUSA people here are sketch.

[...]

And our stupid friends that run headlong into shit. I'm just [...] I don't know if I can I don't want another last year. I can't

Ari/Hazel

[novelling]

You're catastrophizing.

Ari/Hazel

[lilwitchhazel]

I'm not. Last year I didn't take anything seriously enough until we were in stupid evil Gooseberry.

Ari/Hazel

[novelling]

Do you feel guilt over that?

Ari/Hazel

[lilwitchhazel]

[........] Y I fucked up big time last year, in a million different ways. And I don't want to do that again.

Ari/Hazel

[novelling]

[...] I think you should talk to Dr. Perry.

Ari/Hazel

[lilwitchhazel]

[...] Why?

These are all normal concerns. Like, 100% normal.

Ari/Hazel

[novelling]

I'm not disagreeing that some of our friends can be [...] reckless. And the mimics and ghosts are frightening, I know. But nobody's actually been hurt by a mimic or a ghost, and the aurors are here to protect us, not anything else. There's no concrete threat to you right now, Hazel. If you spend every day feeling as if there is, and worrying, and blaming yourself, that's not normal.

Micah just wants to wander off into the woods and keeps making stupid jokes about dying, and Cole was setting out food for stupid demon cats, and half the stupid school just wants to bro it up with this shittyass ghosts that tried to kill us, and

There is a threat, there are so many threats. You don't

This is stupid. Sorry. I don't know why I said anything. I was just checking on you. I'm glad you're not possessed or whatever.

Ari/Hazel

[novelling]

I think you should talk to Dr. Perry. [...] It's been [...] helpful, for me.

Ari/Hazel

[lilwitchhazel]

[............] I'm glad it's helped you.

Ari/Hazel

[novelling]

He thinks I have [...] some trauma, from and I have all those same distorted thoughts that you're having.

Ari/Hazel

[lilwitchhazel]

I'm sorry. That you're dealing with stuff like that. [...] I don't think worrying about this junk is distorted thinking, though. I'm just trying to be sensible. And prepared. I have to be

Ari/Hazel

[novelling]

Maybe it's easier for me to look at my fears and say "that's not real", but I still think you should talk to him. You sound a little There's a fine line between being prepared and being paranoid.

Ari/Hazel

[lilwitchhazel]

Maybe. [...] I'm not [....] Fuck

Look, I'll think about it, anyway.
