I dislike Saturdays because I always feel like I should be catching up with homework as I have nothing else to do but most of it is just too painful.
I've been writing my DADA essay but I'm nowhere near the 1500 word minimum. Sigh.
What I've written so far:
On Countercurse Timing and Comparative Merits of Ducking
by Eric (I'm sorry, Professor, but people give me contradictive information about my surname so I am not entirely sure of it)
I don't like watching the duels of the Dueling Club on Saturday mornings after breakfast as they are quite dull and confusing. I don't really understand it. Why do these people feel like they need to resort to hexing each other to resolve issues? Why can't they just talk about it.
However, you learn a lot by watching these violent disputes. The most important thing about countercurse timing in my personal opinion is counting to ten.
This simple method means that when somebody puts a nasty spell on you, you should not get all upset and transfigure them into a toad or a teapot. Because that just isn't very nice.
Counting to ten would help the Wizarding world in so many ways. I can't name any of them right now because I'm simply exhausted after reading 200 pages about Siamese Sudanfixes or whatever those silly things we're supposed to study about in History of Magic are.
And about ducking, well, I'm just really not interested in knowing what poultry has to do with all of this. I had Transfigurations this week on Tuesday before lunch and we turned chicks into those things with waddles.
Not turkey, though.
Speaking of which, sometimes I feel like choking my Wizard Living teacher, she can be such a pain but then I count to ten or sometimes 230 because she's, she's just pure evil.
But yes, counting to ten and no poultry makes a life a very happy one.
I may have digressed a little from the original topic.
In all honesty I just have better things to do in my free time than homework. And by better I don't necessarily mean better for my future studies or general knowledge of the world, I mean better for my ...yes, okay, can't really say, but the fact is I've got plans. For next week. Yes. Clear out your schedules, people. Okay, clear out your schedule, one person.
I am falling asleep in here. Oh, and you redheaded girl, Gin-, er, Ginny, right, yes, anyway. Want to see me after dinner tomorrow? I, well, I'd like to talk to you if you don't mind.
