I’m not so sure I believe in beginnings and endings. There are days that define your story beyond your life. Like the day they arrived.

On a tangential note: endnotes are the worst, and even more annoying in a PDF than they are in a printed book. Hate hate hate hate hate. Why do publishers insist on fucking endnotes over the obviously superior footnote.
finals suck so much
Arrival.
"Despite knowing the journey... and where it leads... I embrace it... and I welcome every moment of it."
"Let's say that I taught them Chess instead of English. Every conversation would be a game. Every idea expressed through opposition, victory, defeat. You see the problem? If all I ever gave you was a hammer... Everything's a nail."
"If you could see your whole life from start to finish, would you change things?
Maybe I'd say what I feel more often. But I... I don't know. You know, I've had my head tilted up to the stars for as long as I can remember. You know what surprised me the most? It wasn't meeting them. It was meeting you."
"We're so bounded by time, by its order. But now I am not so sure I believe in beginnings and endings."
I know it's been a while but I fixed Jalo's phonology and orthography.

A1-A2: man, there're so many words I need to know in order to say literally anything
B1-B2: wow, what I know is enough now
C1-C2: man, there're so many weirdly specific words I need to know in order to describe these weirdly specific things I've only seen once in my life. Also I forgot how to say ceiling.
Professor Bathsheda Babbling was a witch and professor of Study of Ancient Runes at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
Professor Babbling is the only language teacher in Hogwarts.
Anciet Runes is more than only a language in the Wizardry World given its magical properties, but still…
“I mistranslated ehwaz… It means partnership, not defence; I mixed it up with eihwaz.”
—Hermione Granger after her Ancient Runes O.W.L.
The Study of Ancient Runes (commonly shortened to Ancient Runes) is an elective course at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and presumably Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, that can be taken by students third year and above.
It was taught by Professor Bathsheda Babbling during the 1990s at least and it is the study of runic scriptures, or Runology. Ancient Runes is a mostly theoretical subject that studies the ancient runic scripts of magic.
