I use a good deal of Runes and Arithmancy with more advanced Charms work, believe it or not. If you like those, you'd probably appreciate some of my projects. Even the tents use a bit of it, the poor boring things. I rarely try anything too new without having done equations to make certain it's not going to literally blow up on me. I don't fancy being exploded.
I've never thought you only a handsome face. Granted, I'll give you that you definitely have a handsome one, but I don't think even if we hadn't been conversing, that I would think you merely that. The true Idiots have that dead-eyed look to them, even the handsome ones, and then they open their mouths, and even that is ruined for them. I'll never deny admiring an aesthetic but it has to hold up to something more.
It's a pity they say such things. Personally, I'd punch them and they'd likely stop saying it, but you probably shouldn't take interpersonal advice from me. Though your pretty face could probably get you out of it [silly face doodle]
I'm definitely wary of breaking the Statute, for many reasons, but I think I would for that. That would be a project to work on. Even if it never happened in my lifetime, that would be a project. Ha, I might have to whisper to my mother about it. I doubt she'd listen, but what a lofty goal to aspire to.
I would definitely read a story like that. Or watch a movie. Imagine the muggles trying to explain it away. I sometimes wonder, after reading some novels, if some of those "ufo" things and aliens were really just the magical world.
I am not very good at accepting help or being weak. I much prefer to be able to give people things, instead of taking. But I've been in both positions. These days I can afford to give back when I can, and I try to. Nothing big or anything, just what comes to me at any given time. I think it's admirable that you do the same when you can.
