Mandy: Hey Tony!
Tony: Mandy? Hi.
Mandy: I didn't know you had this pingy thing
Tony: Um.. just since I got the journal. But yeah.
Tony: Are you getting the hang of it?
Mandy: It's slightly bizarre to tell the truth. I'm not quite sure what to make of it. You're one of the first people I've spoke to on here.
Mandy: I'm sure I'll get used to it. Ravenclaw genius and all ;)
Tony: I'm.. I'm sure you will too. It's easy once you get the hang of it.
Tony: And you've already figured out the little...face things.
Tony: That's a great start.
Tony: :)
Mandy: Have you been speaking to many people then?
Tony: Um. Not really. Just Lisa and... um. Sam.
Mandy: Sam? Sam Whitby from the year above?
Mandy: Isn't he a Gryffindor?
Tony: Oh.. no.
Tony: I mean, Whitby is a Gryffindor, yes.
Mandy: oh sorry
Tony: But that's not who I meant.
Mandy: He went out with my cousin last year, then he dumped her for Allegra Marchbolt, ass
Mandy: Oh, sorry, I'm going off track. Who's this Sam then?
Tony: Oh.... I didn't know.
Tony: Um. Sam Capper. He owns a bookshoppe in Hogsmeade.
Tony: He was in seventh year when we were in... first.
Mandy: Oh rite, Lisa told me there was a new bookshop. I haven't really had chance to get down there.
Mandy: Oh? Are you related to him or something?
Tony: No...
Tony: Um... I'm dating him... actually.
Mandy: Sorry, just presuming. With there being an age difference
Mandy: OMG really?
Tony: :)
Tony: Yeah.
Mandy: eek, sorry Tony *removes foot from her mouth*
Mandy: good for you
Tony: Thanks.
Tony: You're... only the second person I've told.
Mandy: :)
Mandy: Thanks Tony, that means a lot to me
Mandy: My brother's gay you know
Tony: Oh.. you're welcome.
Tony: No, I didn't know.
Mandy: Yeh, he was in fifth year when we started. He's off studying
undiscovered magical creaures in Bermuda
Mandy: His last boyfriend, Daniel, was really nice but they had this whole distance thing going on so they broke up
Tony: Oh...
Mandy: Ah well life goes on
Tony: I. Yeah. I guess that would be hard.
Tony: Yeah.
Mandy: Sorry, I'm doing it again
Tony: Doing what?
Mandy: Tell me about this Sam then
Mandy: Taking over conversation
Tony: Oh, I don't mind that.
Mandy: I tend to do it, you should just tell me when I do
Tony: I'm not really.. used to talking, too much.
Mandy: You should, its rude of me
Mandy: Oh
Tony: No, really. It's okay.
Mandy: Well I'm not used to not talking, what a pair we make
Tony: Well...that sort of works
Tony: One of us always talking, and the other... listening.
Tony: I guess.
Mandy: lol
Mandy: No, I shouldnt
Tony: lol? What does that mean?
Mandy: tell me about u
Mandy: I mean I should listen moe
Mandy: *more
Tony: About me? I'm... I'm boring. There's nothing really to tell.
Mandy: Come on Tony, everyone's got something to tell
Tony: Yeah. I guess..
Tony: You know what's really funny?
Mandy: what?
Tony: I'm... realising just how much I never really talked to any of the other Ravenclaws before this summer.
Tony: You know.. I mean. You would think that we've lived together long enough...
Mandy: Indeedy we have
Tony: It's just..weird.
Mandy: Well we just sorta knew that you like to keep yourself to yourself. I mean you've had fun with us when we've had parties and things rite?
Tony: Oh yeah...sure.
Tony: I mean... I wasn't complaining. I just... never realised how much I kept to myself.
Mandy: Well people come out of their shells sometimes and it's no bad thing. I'll be glad if we become closer this year Tony
Mandy: God that sounds corny
Mandy: :|
Mandy: sorry
Mandy: lol
Tony: No it doens't...
Tony: I mean... Now that I've started making friends... I realize I was really missing out.
Tony: Did you know Kevin's here?
Mandy: lol
Mandy: no
Mandy: Tell my beloved Potions Partner I said hi
Tony: I'll do that.
Mandy: I've realised how much better I do in Potions now I sit near Kevin since Snape moved me away from Padma
Mandy: Besides, Padma's bloody good at Potions, she puts me to shame
Tony: I don't think I'm taking NEWT potions.
Mandy: oh, why?
Tony: Well.. mostly because I don't want to.
Mandy: lol
Mandy: good enough reason
Mandy: I'm not taking it either I don't think
Mandy: How many NEWTs do we take?
Tony: Um.
Tony: 5.
Mandy: thought so
Tony: Not counting Muggle Studies and DADA
Mandy: in that case no way
Tony: So, 7, really.
Mandy: ah
Mandy: well I might do
Tony: I'm sure you'll do fine...
Tony: in whichever you take.
Mandy: My Mum was Professor Jigger's prize pupil in School (he taught Potions) so she really wants me to take it
Mandy: She doesn't understand, she never had Snape
Tony: Yeah... Snape just...
Mandy: She said he was above her in school but she barely remembers him
Tony: I can't think in there half the time.
Mandy: It may be the fumes
Mandy: Coming from his mouth
Mandy: That man has BAD breath
Tony: That's funny.... I'm laughing.
Mandy: lol
Tony: Mandy? What does that mean?
Mandy: You can laugh, you aren't gonna be takin potions
Mandy: lol
Mandy: What does what mean?
Tony: "lol"
Tony: You keep saying it.
Mandy: laughs out loud
Tony: But I dont know...
Tony: Oh!
Tony: I didn't know...
Mandy: It means laughing
Mandy: I got it off Lisa
Tony: That makes sense.
Tony: Thanks.
Mandy: Although it could be an Americanism
Mandy: you know Lisa, her dad's American
Tony: Yeah.
Tony: See... I knew she'd get the hang of it
Mandy: lol
Tony: She's really worried about Muggle Studies
Mandy: True Genius our Lisa
Tony: I guess I'm tutoring her in it... during term.
Mandy: Oh really?
Mandy: Are you Muggle Born or just taking the subject?
Tony: I'm half.
Tony: ...Mum's muggle.
Mandy: oh ritey
Mandy: That must be fun at home
Mandy: My Auntie married a Muggle, they have some funny moments, lol
Tony: It's nice to have both worlds... I realized that the other night.
Mandy: What made you realise?
Tony: Oh.. um. Sam and I went to a movie.
Mandy: Nice :D
Mandy: Where?
Tony: Oh.. the theater down from the Leaky Cauldron.
Tony: On the muggle London side.. of course.
Mandy: Oh ritey, was it good?
Tony: Very...
Tony: It was my...first date.
Tony: So... yeah. Really good.
Mandy: Well I'm happy for you
Mandy: You know what they say about all the best men
Tony: Thanks.
Mandy: Married or Gay
Tony: No.
Tony: Oh.. I didn't know they said that.
Mandy: Looks like they're rite
Mandy: lol
Tony: Well.. they can't all be gay...
Mandy: It's a muggle saying, my brother quotes it sometimes
Mandy: No, they arent
Tony: Never heard it.
Mandy: the rest are married
Mandy: lol
Tony: Um. Lol.
Tony: Maybe we're still young enough that they aren't....
Tony: I mean. For your sake.
Mandy: lol
Mandy: Who did you go to the Yule Ball with in fourth year, out of curiosity
Tony: Oh.. I didn't. I mean, I went by myself.
Tony: Who did you go with?
Mandy: Well it was kinda weird. I went with Justin-Finch Fletchley but only becos he fancied Hannah Abbott at the time and she was going with Ernie Macmillan. It was more a friend thing cos I sit next to him in Charms and Ancient Runes
Tony: Oh.. right. I sort of remember.
Mandy: You should have said you know. We could have got you a date. Lisa went with Michael Corner but she had quite the crush on you at the time
Mandy: If you tell her that I'll strangle you with your own shoelaces Goldstein ;)
Tony: Oh.. well. It wouldn't have been....
Tony: I mean, I already knew I was gay.
Tony: So...
Mandy: so
Mandy: lol
Tony: Not really fair...to whoever I went with.
Mandy: Well no
Tony: I had a good time.
Tony: I took a book with me...
Mandy: Wouldn't want anyone thinking they turned you gay, lol. Like Posey Turtle who my brother went to his sixth year Halloween Ball with. She was upset becos she was the last girl he went out with and she thought that she'd turned him. It was quite funny really... as an outsider
Mandy: Oh thats right, I remember seeing you reading near that big Sculpture of a Unicorn
Mandy: cos I was admiring it and noticed you
Tony: Yeah. That's right.
Tony: I'm not much for... dances, anyway, I guess.
Tony: But... yeah... wouldn't have wanted to hurt anyone's feelings.
Mandy: You're a good man Anthony Goldstein
Mandy: I hope this Sam deserves you
Tony: I'm just... well. Thanks.
Tony: He does.
Mandy: :-D
Tony: I mean.. I'm really nothing to "deserve" per se.
Tony: But... I really like him.
Mandy: lol, there's plenty to deserve
Tony: Nah.
Mandy: yeh
Mandy: lol
Mandy: so anywayz
Mandy: what NEWTs are you taking?
Tony: Well...
Tony: It really depends on my OWLs
Mandy: What would u like to take?
Tony: Charms, Transfiguration.. Runes, probably.
Tony: Maybe Astronomy.
Mandy: We'll probably be in a lot of classes together :D
Tony: That would be ... nice.
Mandy: it would
Tony: Um. I have to go and help with breakfast...
Tony: Will you be on later?
Mandy: yeh sure
Mandy: Glad to speak to you Tony.
Tony: Okay. I'll talk with you then..
Mandy: Bye
Tony: Good to talk to you too, Mandy.
Tony: Have a nice day.
Mandy: Ditto
Tony: Bye.
