In a few moments, I am about to go and rouse Mr. Malfoy from his enchanted slumber. And why would I do this on a Sunday morning? Because it is the worst time for a detention that I could think of. And what, pray tell, is this horrid thing that I must enforce? Why it is the nightmare of any wizard or witch.
Mr. Malfoy shall have to serve in the manner of an ordinary house-elf. I certainly do not envy him. However, I am of the belief that Mr. Malfoy is strong enough in character to overcome this minor inconvenience.
Minerva and I are once again locked in an impasse. Whether Mr. Malfoy remains a Prefect or not is at stake. We have exhausted all the game boards in the school and we've played every card game we could think of. We are in a dead heat so to speak. This is most irritating, as this issue has been going on for weeks. I wouldn't be surprised if the Headmaster suggested "Paper, Rock, Scissors" next.
Sylvia finally recovered and I was allowed to return to my normal life. In a way. I have absolutely nothing to say about my carrying-on over the past couple months. Just let it be known that it was only a temporary lapse. I don't know if I can honestly say that I'm better, but I can say that I am feeling like my old self again, which is comforting considering that it appears that I was a completely different person for a while.
I cringe at the thought of the upcoming holidays. One can only hope that everyone actually has a place to go. Looking after hormonal teenagers is not my idea of a relaxing time. Even giving detention is starting to lose its appeal. No, that can't be true. It must be the fatigue speaking. Yes, that's what it is.
