Sarah, Ron? Ginny?

I think I'll be...you know, heading to the library after work today. I've got..uhm, some things to look up.

So..yeah. Don't worry about saving food or anything.

There's...there are some things I've never done.

I've never got higher than a passing grade in Potions. Or ridden a broom without falling, or understood my own pets.

But...I've never, nor will ever, wish to be invisible. I've never done Dark magic of my own will. And I've never hurt my friends.

I don't think I've hurt them.

Thanks for inviting me to your tea party, Sarah. I..I had fun. It was a nice afternoon.

..I'm glad to have my own magic back, though. Even if there's not much use for it in a place like this. If I could ever manage to get it right, anyway...Professor McGonagall left. So did Mistress Weatherwax. I'm..beginning to wonder when (if?) I'll get home. ( Read more... )

What's everyone else doing?

The ball's..tonight, is it?

...Sarah? Do you..I mean, I'm sure you've had offers already, but..I mean, did you..

Would you like to go? With...me, I mean.

I don't get it. What's the point of using all this holly and mistletoe and fir trees? They've got no value whatsoever in traditional herbology, save that mistletoe can be used to make a toxic poison. It's not even a true plant; it's a parasite living off other plants. Holly is toxic as well, though it can't kill like mistletoe can.

Guys? I brought home a new roommate, I hope no one minds..I mean, we have the bed since Luna left, and she looked lost and she's very nice ( Read more... )
