Speaking of hands, she raised hers. "Professor Lafay taught us that if we HELP a muggle out, we can't expect thank you cards from them. Because of the statute."
...
"Everyone knows it's polite to send thank you cards. Even muggles." As in, the statute was clearly below social standards.
"I am never grumpy," Jake murmured to Neptune, leeeeeeeeaning back in his chair. Well... he could be grumpy... if he was taking a nap and got woken up or something. That was never a happy situation.
His head hurt now, though.
Taking hold of Neptune's hand when it was all shifty and secret, Jake smiled. Neptune and her thank you cards were amusing and so...
Neptune.
"They also picked a weird name for it. Why statute? It's super easy to say or write statue instead, and that's a whole 'nother matter."
Nobody thought of Jake and his fellow dyslexics.
Hm, so now he was wondering what a statue of secrecy looked like. Helloooooo distraction.
