I’ve been me my whole life, and I’ve had these powers for 6 months. I read books, I build computers… and yeah, I would love to play football, but I couldn’t then so I shouldn’t now. Sure. ‘Cause you’re different. Exactly. But I can’t tell anybody that, so I’m not. Look, when you can do the things that I can, but you don’t… and then the bad things happen… they happen because of you.
around the same time as the da is formed, a couple hufflepuffs start a sort of school newspaper, called the puffington post. its runs a lot of shitty umbridge approved articles, but if you stab with your wand backwards and say “bullshit”, the articles change to ones about the da, ootp, truthful news about voldemorts movements, and other such things.
