Glad I have my own room this year.

Mind I'd still like to know what it was that possessed Dumbledore to appoint me Head Boy. Too many Sherbet Lemons and Fizzing Whizzbees perhaps.

Can you believe Malfoy got appointed Prefect? Bet his Dad paid somebody for that. Just like the little twerp bought his way onto the team.

[newt_adrian]

I refuse to comment on that, as it will only lead to you smirking.

So would I. Perhaps the rumours about what's really growing in Greenhouse Seven are right.

No, I cannot. Like I said to Montague, Snape must have been having a retarded moment - but, Salazar, he didn't have to pick PARKINSON as well! If I discover next year that Graham made Prefecthood, I will swear this institution has gone to the dogs. Or if not, the mentally challenged.

[newt_warrington]

Probably. Personally I think the father of a particular someone paid a certain head of house to make sure a certain father's son was made prefect... and that didn't turn out all that subtle after all. Oh well, it's not like I care what Malfoy thinks anyway.

At least after this year we won't have to be the ones to worry about it all.

[newt_adrian]

That's likely too. I forget, is Malfoy's dad on the School Board or not? Might have had something to do with the decision. Mind, if it weren't for the fact Ferret-boy can catch a Snitch every once in a while, I would suggest we ditch him from the team now that Flint's gone and Montague has a chance at Captaining.

True enough.

I'm the baby of the family, so I am the tyrannical fourteen year old brat. Was. Three years ago, anyway.

I move that Umbridge's attire is proof that pink is inherently evil. Hem-hem.

[newt_adrian]

I second that motion.

[newt_fawcett]

I don't know what exactly it is, but there's something about the woman that just rubs me the wrong way, you know? Other than the pink, I mean. Which would be an obvious thing that rubs me the wrong way. But this - other thing - isn't.

[newt_adrian]

You mean beyond the fact that she's obviously oblivious to the culture of Hogwarts and has a penchant for addressing us as toddlers? I was NOT appreciating being spoken to in such a manner. I'm starting to feel extremely glad I don't take DADA anymore.

[newt_terence]

It's bad enough that we have to put up with Parkinson's love of that dreadful colour, now we have to lay our eyes on that?

What did she say anyways? I believe when she started to speak I automatically turned my eyes to Fawcett's chest.

[newt_dorny]

You did WHAT?

[newt_adrian]

Unfortunately, it appears so. Well, at least I won't be in her classes - thank Merlin.

Something about being against how she wants to be our friend and something about discouraging progress for progresses sake and remaining traditional. But then contradictarily so, abandoning old habits. I kept slipping in and out of attentiveness.

Although, I wish she'd take heed of a few of her own words and abandon that disgusting cardigan.

Could you have kept that information to yourself, just maybe? The last thing I need is ranting feminist Ravenclaws here.

[newt_fawcett]

If someone comments about my breasts, then I have a right to call them up on it! It doesn't make me a feminist bitch or something!

In fact, I should have taken points off Higgs without threatening to. Why didn't I right away? I would have done so for anyone else. Is it because I don't want to be seen as some sort of power-crazy trollop or female Percy Weasley? I won't get very far in my job if I keep on thinking that. Bugger it, why didn't I take points off?

[newt_katie]

I've always had an aversion to pink, Pucey. But I have to agree with you as much as it pains me that it has taken on a whole new level of horrid.

I can't believe the fecking textbook. WHERE ARE THE BLOODY SPELLS?!

[newt_dorny]

Wow. Katie agreeing with Dollface. Must have been tres painful.

No idea. I just owled Robert to ask him to send me his to study out of when I need to. I suggest we burn them.

[newt_montague]

That one's yours? The brat who was throwing a tantrum at the doorway?

Your cousin does know that there aren't really any openings except for Beater unless he really truly outflies all the more experienced players in the current team, right? And that he's a bit skinny for Beater?

[newt_adrian]

What my cousin doesn't know and ought to know could fill up Hogwarts' library, Montague.

[newt_montague]

Well, he'll probably just have to live with the disappointment, then. I don't think he'll be bugging ME about it over-much, so I'm not concerned. Thank Merlin I'm not the sort of fellow that is approached by random people who want to whinge or "get to know me". For the most part. Now to get Parkinson and her gossipy little clique off my back...
