I wish he'd move. Even the flicker of an eyelid to show someone's still at home there. Surely he can't be all right, not now. Not after so many weeks; all the medical books I've read suggest that the longer a coma lasts, the more slender the chance of recovery. I know that magic works in a different way to muggle science, obeys different rules, and ( Read more... )

Private.I'm jittery and sharp-tempered lately. On the surface, everything's seemed so chaotic - the students were practically running around in circles, unsure of whether to cower in fear from Bellatrix Lestrange or cheer for joy that exams have been cancelled ( Read more... )

There has been a great deal of research by Muggles into what goes on after death. The Muggle world has ghosts too, believe it or not, though I'd never seen one before I came to Hogwarts.

Ghost Scientists, called parapsychologists agree that in the case of poltergeists, the presence of what is known as a human agent is required to generate the ( Read more... )

Would everyone please come and see me so I can return the floosticks?

All right! So I went back to teaching, even though I'd rather eat a house elf.

Today wasn't so bad. For a start, there are barely any first or second years, and the third year Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff were well-behaved enough. And it's not just that I loathe teaching, it's just that I'd much rather be working on the potion. Which I bet Visconti is ( Read more... )

Right - Professor Snape needs us to do the Coagulation part of the wards. I have plenty of ideas but I can't really represent them properly without diagrams.
Meet me after tea in the harpy-target clearing. I've got to get more parchment.

Hermione.

Got him!

Private.
Of all the condescending, smug, odious little cretins...

And what's more annoying is that he was right. If he'd been a Death Eater, then I wouldn't have survived that ambush.
Though Ron did point out to me once I'd calmed down enough that it was unlikely that a real Death Eater attack would happen in the safehouses, I did sign up for this ( Read more... )
