['Sup, Barge! Steve has survived the latest flood, and is currently sprawled in his rather bare-looking room, with a giant pile of Harry Potter books next to him. He's --somewhere in the middle of book five, right about now, and has decided to address his bargemates.]

These books are really pretty good. Thanks for letting me borrow them, Ms. Knope, that flood a while back makes a lot more sense, now.

Though I wish more people would help out that Neville kid. He seems like a pretty sensible fella. [Alright, so he might feel more than a few similarities with Neville Longbottom. DON'T JUDGE.]

--And I saw a new face on the network a while ago, so -- uh, welcome to the barge.

[Oh so locked.]

[worldsbestmarksman]

[Because why play around?]

...You know I never actually finished that series.

[Oh so locked.]

[thestarspangledman]

I was told if I didn't read it certain people on board wouldn't be friends with me anymore. So far, I like 'em.

[mightymorbid]

He'll be fine. It builds character.

[thestarspangledman]

Yeah, but even so. I know what it feels like.

[persuadeyou]

I never actually read those.

[thestarspangledman]

Well, maybe Miss Knope'll let you borrow them when I'm done, if you want to.

[persuadeyou]

Magic fairy tales aren't really my thing.

oh i made myself sad :C

[thestarspangledman]

Even when you sort of live them?

there there :c

[persuadeyou]

I wouldn't call this a fairy tale, Cap.

naaaaat :C

[thestarspangledman]

I wouldn't either, but that flood a few weeks back was pretty similar to these books.

NO FAIRY TALES IN HER LIFE :C

[persuadeyou]

I'm still trying to forget how to play magic lacrosse. Maybe in a few months.

it's okay nat we still love you

[thestarspangledman]

If you say so. You'll have to ask Ms. Knope, though.

oh good ;;

[persuadeyou]

She seems for it.

[thestarspangledman]

I thought she might be.

[lesliemonster]

You can totally borrow them.

And they aren't fairy tales! They are about friendship and duty and taking the right path over the easy one.

[persuadeyou]

Well that doesn't sound like the breach at all.

[lesliemonster]

And that breaks my heart.

[persuadeyou]

I feel like I should apologize.

[ichoosefight]

Good choice. Though I wouldn't worry too much about Neville, as the books go on.

[thestarspangledman]

Oh, really? That's good to know.

[ichoosefight]

Hermione was always my favorite, but I guess she's sort of an obvious choice. I'm surprised nobody's spoiled it for you yet.

[thestarspangledman]

...Tony might have, but I don't think I cared at the time so I wasn't really paying attention.

[ichoosefight]

Uh oh. Here's hoping you don't remember at just the wrong moment. When the last one came out everyone and their brother was spoiling it for everyone else, it was awful.

[thestarspangledman]

I'll ...try not to, I guess?

[ichoosefight]

Enjoy!

[thestarspangledman]

Thanks. [A little grin.]

[lesliemonster]

Excellent choice, Stephanie Brown.

[ichoosefight]

Heck yeah. Granger knows what's up.

[lesliemonster]

I want to be her when I grow up.

[ichoosefight]

I don't think I'd go that far, but I wouldn't mind if I had a kid grow up to be her.

[burnmythoughts]

[Jean peers at the books with an interested smile.]

What are they about?

[lesliemonster]

They are about being awesome.

[thestarspangledman]

Wizards and witches and all kinds of stuff, really.

[lesliemonster]

[Steve Rogers you dreamboat.]

Neville is my favorite! Well. Next to Hermione. And Professor Minerva Mcgonagall. And Molly Weasley.

[thestarspangledman]

He seems like a pretty swell kid.

[lesliemonster]

Yes he is! No big deal, just going to stand up to his own friends because it's the right thing to.

[Steve, why does Leslie get the feeling that you are an in real life Neville Longbottom?]

[thestarspangledman]

Exactly.

[--Because he sort of is, without the clumsiness.]

[lesliemonster]

Just wait until you get to book seven Steve. Oh my god. You have to call me when you finish or this friendship is over.

[thestarspangledman]

I'll definitely let you know when I do!

[janesaid]

Neville is pretty great.

How are you holding up?

[Look, it's your fangirl.]

[thestarspangledman]

As well as I ever am. You're okay?

[janesaid]

I'm fantastic. At least the hallways aren't full of spikes and boulders anymore.

[thestarspangledman]

Yeah, those were ...somethin' else.
