Devin's Book For Recording Thoughts.

[Devin Smithers]

<sub>Dear Book For Recording Thoughts,

I had waffles for breakfast. I like waffles. It's too bad that you are a book and cannot taste waffles. I would so like for you to enjoy them with me, for you have kept every secret I have ever told you even though I have not told you any yet. So I suppose I shall.

Here is a secret. It may not be very interesting, but it’s a secret all the same. In fact, I have not even told this to Lanelle yet. When I was about 7 years old my family went to Gringots bank to deposit some money. My mother had given me a rather large bag of dry cereal which I would eat while she went on long erands. While both my mother and father talked to the goblins at the counter I wandered off, following something shiny. I liked shiny objects so this one I decided to follow because it was moving.

This object I believe was a pretty necklace, worn by a rather ugly witch. She got into a cart with a goblin, so I got in the back with my bag of cereal. The ride to her vault was fun, but when it stopped I felt sick so I got out. I wandered around for a bit, but before I could get back in, the cart left. I was alone…. And it was so dark.

Uh oh, I have classes. I will tell you the rest some other time dear Book For Recording Thoughts.

<sub>Dear Book for Recording Thoughts,

Wait… Dear? Are you dear to me? No. Dear is when something is not an inanimate object. Ah well.. Moving right along then.

Today in class we had a new teacher Miss Starchild. She seems nice, and relaxed, quite different from the other teachers in our school. I am sure you do not want to hear the details of the class. But then again… You can’t really hear at all can you. Wow. What is it like being a deaf inanimate object? You should tell me sometime. Anyway, to make a long story short I fell down and hit my head, and it kind of racked my brain a little bit. I figured it was no big deal until I saw the light. Yeah, my vision was being defective again. I rushed straight to Madam Pomfrey and she fixed me up and back to normal as possible. I don’t really know what I must have looked like, but I don’t think I really wanted to.

Ok…. I know this calls for some explanation. But not now, someone’s coming upstairs to the girl’s dormitory! Quick, act conspicuous!</sub>

[Devin Smithers]

<sub>Dear Book for Recording Thoughts,

Alright last night was a close one. Good thing I hid you in a sock in my trunk. You really aren’t all that good at hiding, I guess that’s because you’re a book. OH well. I believe you wanted me to explain why my eyes did that thing in class yesterday. Well, I would have to finish my story in order for you to explain it. So here goes nothing.

Ok. The cart had left, and everything around me was black. I decided that they would come looking for me so I sat down in one place and ate my cereal for a while, but nobody came so I decided to explore a little. I crawled along the ground, because It was the only thing I was sure was actually there. I soon found a wall, so I followed that.

As you might have guessed I became extremely thirsty after a while. I had no way of telling how long I traveled without water, for there was no clock, and even if there was one I couldn’t have seen it. When my hands slid across each vault door I could feel details in each one. They were very pretty, but then something caught me by surprise. While crawling in between two vaults my hand hit something with a cylinder shape. It felt metal and rusty, for I had found a pipe! I put my ear next to it and could hear water, or some sort of liquid rushing through it. As my hands slid up and down the pipe I felt a small knob. After some tugging on it and experimenting which way it would go, I found that if I turned it to the left the liquid leaked out and squirted me in the face. So this is what I drank for a while.

I made my home around that pipe and drank from it whenever I felt thirsty. I knew everything about it. There was a rock a few feet away, where I kept my emptying bag of cereal, and a few feet from that there were the tracks which the carts used. I’m not quite sure when it happened, but at some point during my stay down there my vision seemed to open up, and adapt to the darkness. I could see everything around me even though I knew there was no light. I used to hum to myself to pass the time, but soon even that faded away.

Well, one day… or night… or afternoon or something, I was startled to hear the sound of a cart on the tracks. It was soon followed by a searing hot white light. I closed my eyes and hissed at it, I screamed at it to go away, but the voice that came out was raspy as if speaking in a language I had forgotten long ago. I heard adults yelling at each other, then one came near me and I used my instinct. I bit his hand with all the strength my small jaw could muster, but he was too big. He scooped me up and I flailed and screamed and tried to get away, back to my pipe. Next thing I knew I was in the arms of my parents. They told me I had been down there for two weeks, and that they were so afraid their search parties wouldn’t find me.

Ever since then, my eyes have been extremely sensitive to light. My eyes had adapted to the darkness and the slightest irritation in them would cause my pupils to dilate. So there you have it. Now every time I go outside in the daytime I have to wear sunglasses. If anyone questions me I just tell them I was a disease I was born with. Now my hand is getting writers cramp so I am going to leave now.
Bye!</sub>

There you have it. The first. -takes a second to count- ...10 things that popped into my head while i was writing this.

~ Me, Who else?

[Andromeda Black]

Hey careless Ravenclaw!

This is your book talking to you... I think you are messed up.

Heh, just thought you should know you left your little 'book for recording thoughts' in the common room... and I just couldn't help myself but investigate, but don't worry. I only glanced over a few surveys. ^^ Anywho, isn't my new green ink spiffeh?

<3,

Your Mother

P.S. Be more careful where you place things... you could get really screwed. xP

[Devin Smithers]

Dear Book for Recording Thoughts,
Yeah, that last note here was from Andromeda, she found my book and was reading it. At first I was really scared, but figured: What the hell? Why should I care what she thinks anyway? So just wanted to let you know that.

[Devin Smithers]

Dear BfRT,

Woah.. I wrote your initials to make it shorter and it looks like bfrt. Ha!

Anyway, I met Sirius Black in the Library yesterday and I made fun of some Slytherin girl named Celestia. I'm not quite sure why I did it, and now I feel really bad about it but haven't been able to find her to apologize.

I also made fun of Andy! ANDY! She's just about the only friend I have accept for this kid I met named Jason Pattew. My whole point is I felt really bad and came up to apologize when she found you, but as I explained before I don't really care anymore.

I met Jason during Divination. He didn't have a partner so I stepped in. He's really funny, though he says he's usually uptight and stuff. I guess thats how he acts around other people because the only thing about him that was sort of out of place were his extremely proper manners. I bet he's some sort of a neat freak. -glances around messy dorm- Yeah... I should probably work on that. Oh, no time, gotta go to class. Later!

-Devin.

[Devin Smithers]

Dear BfRT,

I'm rather tired right now, and don't feel myself. Perhaps it's because I am tired. Or perhaps it's because its 3 in the morning and I cannot sleep. -sigh- My schoolwork is really getting out of hand, and I feel overloaded right now with stupid questions that are NEVER GOING TO HELP ME IN LATER LIFE!... sorry about that random outburst.

Lets see... Lately I've been trying to sleep but have just been lying there on my bed for hours, no matter how tired I happen to be. Usually, I don't care about how I look, but lately I have noticed that I've got these darkish rings under my eyes. I always look tired. Perhaps I should just skip classes for one day and sleep in as long as I can. That would do me some good, but it would put me behind in my schoolwork. Damn it's just one be cycle isnt it? Lemme draw you a diagram, cause I'm bored like that



So you see, that no matter what I do, I shall always be TIRED! I need a good holiday, no work, no worries. That would do wonders for me.

-Devin
