Well, I gotta say that I'm surprised that the winter break has finished already. It was a nice one and one that was completely explosion free. My parents were quite happy for that fact. They were no so happy about the tea kettle that is now here and part of the family though. My father has banned me from creating illegal life forms again. The ministry though was rather impressed with my findings, at least the members I spoke to before the attack.

Ravenclaw Quidditch team, I hope you've been practicing! We need to be in tip top shape to win the rest of the season. I would also like to announce that I might have found us a new seeker.

	I don't even want to know how you managed to get that thing home. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	She's actually quite docile and affectionate... but mostly bribing her with fresh tea leaves. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm guessing she's not a fan of coffee? Actually, I'm not sure I want to know what would happen if you gave her coffee either. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She hates the stuff. Whenever it's brew neared her, she whistles and kind of steams at it. I think it's her way of hissing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Okay, well, suddenly explicitly happy that I never tried to give her any? I'd rather not get scalded by a kettle. That would be hard to explain to my parents. Speaking of parents... new blood? Who've you been hiding from us Meru. And will I need to drag them running with me every morning because you know I'm not above that if it means us winning. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She's pretty good about not scalding people, but she would've tried to steam the coffee away. You know Marcus Greenwood? He's joining as a favor to me. Though if you could get him to run, I might even join you haha. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm skeptical. I mean its a sentient kettle. The sixth year? Don't go and make me wish I was more persuasive there Meru, not one of my stronger talents. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	But a sweet one. Come and pet her sometime, she likes he handle cleaned. Yep, the one and only. He's a friend of mine so he's doing me the favor. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I've managed to avoid her so far, maybe out of a mild case of paranoid pessimism. But if you promise she'll be nice if I bribe her with a good cleaning and some tea, maybe. Well, it solves our problem at least. Clearly you're more persuasive than me, ha. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She'll be nice if you just pet her handle, but if you wanna offer her some tea she will probably love you almost as much as she loves R. I might be a bit, that or he just felt bad that I was begging. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	aurorarhea 2016-01-13 10:48 pm UTC (link)
	She might take less coaxing than I will. I'm a big old skeptic at heart. It's a curse. Well better at begging then too. I've never mastered the sad puppy look enough to be good at it. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	You seriously managed three entire weeks without a single explosion? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	steam_alchemist 2016-01-12 03:54 am UTC (link)
	Yep. Quite proud of myself for that too. Of course my research wasn't quite as combustible as usual. (Reply to this) (Parent)
