Right, so what's the deal with these NEWTS?

Jun 28, 2006 10:28

I've been hearing a whole host of disturbing rumours about NEWTS, and I thought one of you wonkier sorts might be able to tell me what's true and what's not.

That there simply are no NEWTS this year, and that we're free to begin our summer holidays at our leisure.
That NEWTS this year are going to be replaced by some sort of wet-robe contest at ( Read more... )

NUMBER 7 IS SO BASED ON LIES. LOOK, I EXPRESSED ONE WISH, EVER, TO INVADE BULGARIA, AND THAT'S JUST BECAUSE VIKTOR KRUM WAS BEING WEIRD AND IT WAS MAKING ME UNCOMFORTABLE. I'M NOT REALLY SURE HOW INVADING BULGARIA WOULD'VE HELPED, THOUGH.

I DID HEAR SOMETHING LIKE THAT ABOUT ANALOGIES, THOUGH. FLITWICK RAN PAST ME IN THE HALLS (ALBEIT VERY SLOWLY BECAUSE HE'S GOT RATHER SMALL LEGS) SAYING SOMETHING ABOUT A RACE. MAYBE IT'S PART OF THE PRACTICAL EXAM?

They're making us run?

Knowing the Ministry, if there is a practical, it's going to be something like "using nothing but your wand and this giant pile of trees, build a new summer home for Minister Scrimgeour."

YOU KNOW, I WAS GOING TO MAKE FUN OF YOU, BUT I GAVE IT A LOT OF THOUGHT AND I'M PRETTY SURE YOU HAVE A POINT.

hufflepuff4life July 2 2006, 23:44:13 UTC

I generally do. Nice of you to notice.

I've heard that we're to write a dissertation on wizarding fashion, especially as regards the utilisation (or lack thereof) of proper undergarments.

Also, that we'll be forced to lead an evacuation of the Giant Squid from the lake, transferring it to the Headmaster's bath.

hufflepuff4life June 29 2006, 03:50:01 UTC

How big is his bath?

paparazzi_colin July 1 2006, 07:26:15 UTC

Um the giant squid has been a teenage girl for eight months now Ernie!!! DUH.

I thought one of Corner's machines solved that whole thing.

Merlin, I need to borrow someone's notes.

I've heard it has something to do with South America! Is that a code phrase for SALAMANDERS, perhaps?

hufflepuff4life July 2 2006, 23:46:49 UTC

South American Land And Marine Acrobatic Normalised Death-Eater Repellent Studies?

Because that makes no sense whatsoever.

The three fates deck states that the NEWTS will involve Bulgaria some how.

hufflepuff4life July 2 2006, 23:47:25 UTC

Told you so.

herbology_dork July 1 2006, 07:43:35 UTC

the SALAMANDERS option has me very nervous. we haven't got much time left, when are they going to tell us what is going on?

i keep trying to get my Gran to tell me what the changes are, but she refuses. she doesn't want to give me any unfair advantages, she says i must succeed by my own merits.

This has to be the most inept educational system in the entire Wizarding World. By the time we're done with school, everyone else will already have their summer internships!

I hate being on quarters!

Neville we should just sneak into her house and find out for ourselves.
Grandmothers tend to write things down in little diaries or they have kitchen cuburbs filled with old letters, I'm sure we can find something!

herbology_dork July 3 2006, 02:37:16 UTC

good idea! though if she ever caught me, the consequences would be dire.
i'll have to think about it and figure out a time when she will be out of the house.
