Animagus Chronicles, Part 13
Lee groaned. He sat back, completely bored. I'm so tired of people showing me their Animagus. What's their problem? He waited until the lights blinked back on and then he started talking to Darryn. "Dude, phoenix? Is ANYONE a normal creature?" Darryn sat back too. " "'Fraid not. Wish I was a goldfish." He said. "Seriously? A goldfish?" "Mhmm." He wasn't paying attention anymore. He was getting back to looking at his hair in a handmirror and texting on his phone at the same time. "YOU-ARE-SO-VAIN!" Lee shouted at him. "I know." Darryn responded simply. He stared at the bottle Darryn gave him. "What does it do?" He asked. Darryn looked up. "It takes you to maximum form." "Oh." Bliss and Lyre were in the back, waiting. Lee turned his head to them. "What?" "You and Darryn have been talking for a long time." Lyre responded, with a annoyed expression. "What? We've been talking for around 3 minutes." "More like 3 hours!" Bliss said. Lyre looked to Bliss. "This conversation is going to be lasting a millenium." He said to her. "Hey, Lee?" said Darryn. "What?" "Do you have a phone?" "Yes... why?" "Because it saves the trouble of talking to you." Lee's face was contorted with fury. "Lyre, Bliss, we're not wasting our energy on Darryn. Let's go." Bliss and Lyre didn't move. Then Bliss started talking. "He has a point." "Who? Me?" "No, Darryn. He doesn't want to be his Animagus anyway, so why bother being in the war?" "But... how does that affect you?" "I never wanted to be a dumb unicorn. I've always wanted to be a tiger." Lyre grunted. "Well, I actually like the chimera, but I could do with a hawk." "Really? Seriously? That CAN'T be the problem! I can never fix this!" "I bet you're saying that because YOU are the King Dragon." "No, No, i'm not! You guys have to deal with this! We the prophecy thingimajigs!" "No, YOU are." Bliss said. Lyre stepped back. "Actually, i'm totally OK with this. Chimeras ar pretty cool." Darryn leaned back. "Whatever. Not involved in this thing anyway." Bliss glared at Darryn. Then she grabbed Lee and Lyre and dragged them out of his house. Darryn suddenly burst out of the door. "What?" said Lyre. "come to join us?" "No," Darryn said. "I'm going with Lea. Let's finish this."

The Art and Aspirations of a Commenter
I believe in the power of a free exchange of ideas. I also recognize that words or access to
some information can be of harm to others, intentionally or unintentionally. As a
commenter, I therefore aspire to participate responsibly in the great online conversation
by:
* treating all bloggers with respect.
* seeking first to understand what is being said.
* celebrating another's accomplishments.
* using school appropriate language.
* rephrasing ideas in the blog that made me think, made me feel, or helped me learn
to let the blogger know his/her voice has been heard.
* commenting specifically and positively, without criticism. If I disagree, I will
comment appropriately, politely stating my perspective.
* being mindful always that I may be a role model to my audience, especially if they
are younger than I.
* making no reference to, link to, and/or giving access to any information that may
be inappropriate for a school setting.
* asking at least one question in my comment with the hopes of continuing a
conversation and deepening thinking.
* using a triple check before submitting any comment: Would I be happy to have my
mother read this comment? My grandmother? My favorite teacher?
