--es. Yes, I do want voice-to-text, that'll probably be less difficult and I won't accidentally hit the wrong button next time.

Okay, I reckon it's stopped. It's not flashing the little screen over and over. I don't even know what I hit. Er, sorry, I don't really know how to delete those other ones. I'm not really used to computers. Never really got to play around much with computers to start with and where I usually live, they don't even work.

Awfully small, aren't they? I didn't even know they could be made this small.

Anyway, what I was trying to say is my name is Harry Potter. I'm a wizard, from the same world as Remus Lupin. A complete inability to do a basic introduction without embarrassing myself aside, I was fighting in a war against dark wizards before I was brought here. I understand that the stakes are even higher with this one, and as such, I want to know where someone like me might be needed most and who here I could possibly learn from to help fight even better.

I'm alright enough at magic, particularly where Defense Against the dark arts is concerned, have loads of experience dueling on a life or death basis, and I'm fairly good at sneaking about when necessary. I also have some experience teaching defense magic, though I don't know how useful that'll be if people here don't have the same type of magic, and you'd have a better teacher in Remus anyway. I'm really not sure how everything works here, so if you have any questions about what I can do to help me figure out where I'd be best suited, feel free to ask. I could use the help figuring out where I'm needed most.

I grew up in Surrey. Which is in Britain, on Earth. From the year 1998.

I don't know much about computers, to be fair, but I've never really seen people walking around with ones like this. Mobiles, sure, but this can do a lot more than a mobile.

But like I said, I'm a wizard. Most technology and magic doesn't mix, so wizards don't use computers. Or even televisions.

wait wait wait backup

no tv

what kind of nightmarish existence do you have and what did you do to deserve it.

[head-heldhigh.livejournal.com]

We have magic. Who needs television when you have magic?

[whyarewehere]

either magic is more awesome and less lame than i think or you are a seriously deprived person.

i think you are a seriously deprived person.

[head-heldhigh.livejournal.com]

I am not deprived. I got to see television growing up. Sometimes.

But after I found out I was a wizard, I had Quidditch, which is much, much better than television.

[whyarewehere]

what is that?

[head-heldhigh.livejournal.com]

It's the most brilliant sport in the world. You play it while flying on broomsticks.

[whyarewehere]

...does that mean broomsticks are an actual thing or are you bullshitting me?

[head-heldhigh.livejournal.com]

They're an actual thing. We fly on them.

You know the pointy hats? And cauldrons? We've got those, too.

[whyarewehere]

ummmmm

if all this is true, and that is an if for me right now, i just need to tell you that magical people are the least subtle.

also brooms sound really, really uncomfortable. just sayin.

[head-heldhigh.livejournal.com]

Where do you think all the broomsticks, pointy hat, cauldron stereotypes came from in the first place?

And that's why there's such things as cushioning charms.

[whyarewehere]

and nobody laughs at you? i mean the pointy hat and cauldron thing not the cushioning charm thing that sounds useful.

[head-heldhigh.livejournal.com]

Wizards don't really mingle that much with muggles and we're supposed to dress like muggles when we do.

[whyarewehere]

oh.

well then maybe you guys should try, i dont' know, not doing all that stuff that's stereotypes?

Harry has no idea how to answer this.

[head-heldhigh.livejournal.com]

Why?

Grif: PROBING THE MYSTERIES OF THE WIZARDING WORLD. Okayno.

[whyarewehere]

idk it just seems kinda... obvious? like if somebody walks in on you with your cauldron and pointy hat and broomstick they are going to put it all together pretty quick, right?

[head-heldhigh.livejournal.com]

Or they'd just s'pose that someone was having a bit of fun at their expense.

Most muggles wouldn't acknowledge magic if it was dancing in front of them shooting out Catherine Wheels and turning frogs into rabbits and back again.
