Why am I on this ship and how the hell did you convince me to wear a kerchief around my head?

This sailing off into the sunset business is rather too poetic for me. The parrot keeps it from being romantic, though, which is really the last thing I need with you and Padma around.

Zebediah owled yesterday. He's working in the Swiss Alps this summer researching high-altitude fungi. I wrote him back saying I'd come and help before I remembered that I hate snow and I hate scraping charred potions out of cauldrons, especially during the hols. Blame it on the fact that I'll go bloody insane if there's even a remote chance I ( Read more... )

I want to talk to Summerby about as much as I want my head set on fire. Is there a better way to find out what's going on than through Potter? I joined the D.A. last year because I thought it would help, and I did learn a lot ... hate admitting that part, damnit, but I probably wouldn't have got high marks on the OWLs without ( Read more... )

Oh, oops. (I'll take a cue from Audrey and note that that was a very insincere sort of 'oops'.)

If anyone needs me afternoons for the next week or so, I'll be unavailable due to serving detention. I'm sure you'll all be hearing about this whether you really care or not, so I won't waste the ink and will start hunting around for earplugs ( Read more... )

At least that Bludger-dodging practise got us somewhere. I think we did pretty damn good getting ahead of their Beaters. Too bad about the Snitch, but before that ... kicking their arses, we were. Top-notch coaching from Dunstan, at least, no complaints there.

[filter: private to Susan Bones]Sure, I'll see you then ( Read more... )

The weather was great over the weekend. The weekend, however.

This had better be enough to get me out of detention.

[filter: private]Bloody Hufflepuff gathering this afternoon ... writing this out on the Quidditch pitch so I don't have to get annoyed by all the noise. Honestly. Nott's probably there, but he'll be with his boyfriend, and lord ( Read more... )

SUCCESS.

Susan's likely to box my ears for this after she finds out, but the look on Miles's face. It's brilliant. Though I'm sure Madame Pomfrey could remove it pretty easily ... any suggestions on how to keep Miles from getting someone to reverse the hex?

Even thinking about hexing Miles is entertainment enough. Contrary to popular belief, I've only ever got one detention in my six years here, but this will be worth it.

Practising for the upcoming Quidditch game -- taking a lot of my free time, but worth it. I think we've got a shot at beating Ravenclaw, but who

Welcome back. It just wasn't the same without dirty robes and socks all over the dorm room floors, and people stacking dirty plates on the floor of the common room for other people to step in.

The house elves have being going crazy for the last few hours. Getting ready for everyone to come back, I guess. This is the first time I've spent winter hols here; I wonder if they do this every year? Usually I never even see them -- though that's the point of a house elf, really. Up in the dorms now because it got to be too ( Read more... )
