H. Jenkins 2148 Run programme: Digital Pensieve? Y / n Loading... please wait. Welcome to Digital Pensieve. Digital Pensieve is an application that translates past events, dreams, and thoughts into videos or text and stores them digitally as a DPEN file. Run programme, collect desired memories from mind, and place wand tip in USB port. Memories will be automatically transferred into video or text format. Files can later be accessed and edited. Would you like to use the tutorial? y / N [NOTE: Programme seems to be functioning correctly. System running smoothly. No signs of bugs. Tomorrow I will upload a dream to the Digital Pensieve to be sure that the new version is indeed dream-compatible. If reasoning is correct, it should be able to treat them as memories, but the text interpretation portion may run differently. Cannot detect any errors at the moment.] Would you like to close without saving? Y / n START – Log Off shjenkins logging off... Would you like to shut down your computer?

INSERT – Text > add note NOTES: The transcription of dreams is much more abstract and harder to decipher than I had originally anticipated. Fortunately, the text can be edited, so it can be re-written if desired. However, I personally like it this way. It distinguishes it quite nicely as a dream. That might just be the artist in me; no doubt Owen would find it frustrating. But I digress. As for the interpretation - this seems to be a subconscious result of the stress caused by the newly assigned research papers in various classes. As the time for in-depth study and intensive writing is approaching, it is logical that my body would be sending stress chemicals to my brain and affecting my dreams. In future, I should be sure to hold off personal experiments (i.e. different oxidation levels of Camellia sinensis added to wideye potion for stronger, more alert feeling), and instead get schoolwork done. Or, alternatively, develop said potion and use it to stay awake longer and avoid such dreams altogether, therefore providing more waking hours during which I can complete aforementioned papers. I think I’ll go with Option B. FILE – Save As > save file Would you like to save? Y / n File saved as: dreams.dpen START – Log Off shjenkings logging off... Would you like to shut down your computer?

It is nearly the end of dinner but he still has not touched his food, since he is reading The Hungry Liquids: A Guide to Corrosive Potions and is too absorbed to eat. A few owls begin swooping down to deliver packages to students. Sion is interrupted by an envelope falling on his plate. He looks surprised to see that the letter is addressed to him, but his eyes narrow as he recognises the handwriting. He lifts the flap open and takes out its contents nonetheless. Dearest brother, Mummy received the digital school newsletter about a fancy dress party at Hogwarts this October. She is worried about you and wants you to make friends, and believes this would be a profitable opportunity to socialise. On her behalf, I write to request you to attend this social event. If you refuse, Mummy will be very upset, especially since you have blocked your family from email and your mobile phone number. Fortunately I have an owl to send you a letter with. Even though she is irritated with your lack of communication throughout the past few years, she continues to worry about your well-being and hopes you can come to forgive her. That is all she wanted me to tell you. All the best, Owen Jenkins P.S. Mummy requests video footage of your party. Have fun! I heard from reliable sources that it's a masquerade, I would love to see what sort of mask you wear. After reading, Sion folds the letter and places it back in the envelope. His face is passive, but his eyes are filled with silent indignation. INSERT – Text > add note NOTES: I cannot believe my own family is blackmailing me into going to this party. I obviously want nothing to do with my mother and still she tries to keep tabs on me. It is quite irritating. She or one of my other family members must have something on me if they have the nerve to pressure me into attending the masquerade. I would bet money that Owen set this up. I've made it clear to Mother that she should stay out of my life and so this must have been something brought up by my brother. And I doubt it's about him worrying about my social life. It's incredibly childish of him. FILE – Save As > save file Would you like to save? Y / n File saved as: events.dpen START – Log Off shjenkings logging off...
