Second floor common room- Friday morning

[imawizard]

Harry wasn't huge on caffeine but he was kind of dragging some by now. It also hasn't occurred to him that there was maybe a spell or something that would take care of this. More than likely the letter he'd sent back to Hermione this week complaining would get a response of "if only you had tried ____" the day after this ended.

For now though he was contemplating a chocolate Pop Tart in the kitchen. Chocolate had caffeine, right? Did chocolate count? Would this help? Would he try either way? (Yes, no, no, yes.)

"Both?" Kurt asked, hesitating for a moment as he considered and then gave Harry a nod. "Couldn't really hurt could it?" (yes Kurt it totally could hurt!)

Kurt grabbed a packet of pop-tarts and opened it as he started filling a bowl with the cereal and poured on some milk, using his tail of course to do so.

"I really hope whatever is going on is short lived" he admitted between bites. "I'm not a huge coffee drinker but even the soda is caffeine free. That's just wrong!"

[imawizard]

"I didn't actually notice that one," Harry admitted. "How did I not think to even try that?"

It was because he was tired.

"Well, I have and it's as decaf as the coffee seems to be" Kurt said making a disgruntled face. "I have a hard enough time keeping up with the crazy metabolism and all... not having the caffeine boost is really, really bad."

[imawizard]

"Really? I mostly just get tired and annoyed," Harry admitted.

[furrybluefreak]

"Part of the whole mutant power thing" Kurt said with a slight sigh. "Hyped up metabolism means it takes a lot more to keep me going. Food and energy wise. So not having that extra caffeine pick-me-up is really noticeable."

[imawizard]

"How are you even awake right now?" Harry wondered.

[furrybluefreak]

"Naps. Lots and lots of naps" Kurt said with a chuckle. "Also seems I've been sleeping in a lot more than normal... makes getting to morning classes a bit more interesting. But the porting makes that easy even if I am running late."

[imawizard]

"The... porting?" New word to learn!

[furrybluefreak]

"Porting. Teleportation. It's my special ability" Kurt explained. "It's a cool ability, comes in really handy at times. But it really takes a lot out of me if I do it a lot or try to port a long way.'

[imawizard]

"Oh, like Apparition," Harry said.

[furrybluefreak]

"Oh, you have something like teleportation too?" Kurt said. "It's really handy isn't it? How does it work for you? I can only port a short distance right now, though there are some other Mutants who can teleport a couple miles at one go or even farther. I also have to be able to see where I am going to port to most of the time unless I know and area really, really well.

[imawizard]

"Oh, I'm not sure. I can't get my license till next year," Harry said. "I'm guessing you don't need to do that."

[furrybluefreak]

"You have to get licensed to be able to teleport?" Kurt asked in amazement. "Is it something everyone can do or learn to do, like driving, and you have to get special training before you can do it?"

Kurt shook his head a little, thinking about what all that kind of regulation would do back home.

"I don't have to have special permission or anything to use my teleportation. it's something I've always been able to do. My first accidental port was when I was like five or six my mum said. I'm learning how to control it better and getting training on how to get better at it though."

[imawizard]

"It sounds tricky," Harry said. "Yeah, we have to take classes and then test for it. I haven't actually learned too much about it yet."

Give him a few months, he'd get an education.
