WEIRD FACT: Gideon Crumb fancies blondes (though, I presume, not underage blondes, but one more year!)

My attempts to raise money for a new laptop are going horribly. As in, I still don't have any money other than my own in the fund and I didn't have any money to begin with.

If I was really desperate, I could bully some of the first years,

I wish I could help you out about the funds, MJ. What if... you have a bake sale? Everyone likes cake and pastries. (Some more than others, but that's besides the point.) All you have to do is overprice them and it'll work out perfectly!

Or, you could just see if Gideon wants to have an affair with you now even if you're underage and mooch off him.

[tenticketthrill]

It's alright, Han, I know you'd help me if you could. Oh! A bake sale! Do you think the House elves would be willing to let me do some baking down there? I could make some cupcakes, I guess, but, then again, why would people want to buy my ridiculously overpriced cupcakes when they could get some from the House elves for free?

Hmm...

[abbotted]

If you add a personal touch to them, maybe? My mom taught me how to make ones with the Hufflepuff crest on it (after I begged her to try about a million times) and I'm sure it wouldn't be too difficult to figure out how to make the other ones, either.

We could put the mascots on some, too! I know how to draw an adorable little badger... An eagle, lion, and snake shouldn't be too complicated, with the right frosting and a sharp eye for detail. Huh. Maybe all this game playing is coming in handy after all.

In the meanwhile, I'll send another an owl to Gideon Crumb to see if he's in the market for a slightly underage blond girlfriend.

I can't really afford to give up money for the laptop fund, but I'm sure if you wanted to come around Hogsmeade with me I could get you a bit of candy. No pouting required.

[tenticketthrill]

Really? You would? That'd be very brilliant, actually, because I'm down to my last few chocolate frogs and Merlin only knows what I'd be like without my sugar stash.

[shescrushing]

Sure I would. It'll be fun. Plus, it's never fun to go too long without any chocolate.

[tenticketthrill]

I'll pay you back, Ginny, I promise I will. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Hey, here's a tip. Leave the laptop in your room and then come and study in the library when it's really busy. That way all the second years are hogging the computers so you won't be distracted. I worked out this method after I almost didn't finish Defence homework. It's working, so far.

I can't believe he gets away with saying that. Just because he's a huge star.

[tenticketthrill]

I would, but first I'd have to acquire a laptop. Those aren't always second years hogging the computers, you know. I'm just short.

Do you think he'd date me in a year? Because I'm au natural. You can't find this blond in a bottle. Or maybe you can. I wouldn't know. Maybe he doesn't even like this shade. We can't all have unnaturally white-blond hair like Draco Malfoy.

[terry_claw]

If I see you hogging the computers, I'll just come over and unhog you from them.

Maybe. If he's into girls who are wayyy younger than him. Which is a bit gross now that I think about it... How old is he anyway? AND why would you want to date him? Apart from the fact that he's Gideon Crumb, but he doesn't strike me as...completely bright. I mean, who goes around saying "I only like blonde/brunette/red-haired chicks". It's a bit shallow...

You know, I can't say that I've ever given Draco Malfoy's hair (or anyone's for that matter) any serious thought. I suppose your hair's...a nice blonde colour. I don't know. I'm not an expert. You should ask Donna about this stuff (she's just started hairdressing).

[tenticketthrill]

Oh, would you? That'd be wonderful, although I can't help but suspect it's because you want to sneak in some extra time to practice SpellBlock, you sly eagle.

He's only twenty-one! That's a difference of five years. Plus, he's a famous musician and can play the bagpipes. The bagpipes, Terry. Donghan's married and Merton's romancing a Scottish countess so there won't be many of them left to date!

Why, thank you! Donna's started hairdressing? How's she doing? Do you think she'd be willing to do my hair? Then we could get our nails done and perhaps read Witch Weekly and decide which advertisements have the cutest boys.
