School starts soon. Too soon, if you ask me. I really don't want to go back to having a load of coursework and very little free time. On the other hand, I won't be stuck in this house with Mother, which is really rather miserable. In that vein, I also have Quidditch to look forward to. Fenrir's captain, which will either be incredibly brutal (very ( Read more... )

Might I suggest simply being open to finding a girlfriend? Seems like a lot less work for more desirable results.

Perhaps, but I'd much rather find a girlfriend before my parents start trying to get me into an arranged marriage, because, honestly, I'd rather marry a girl who I actually care for, not just some rich girl my parents see fit to force me to marry.

That sounds reasonable, actually. My brothers kept joking about arranging a marriage for me over the summer, and even if it was a joke, I swear I kept breaking out in hives at the very thought.

Hm, it's a shame to think that your parents might consider arranging a marriage or your getting a girlfriend as more important than just finishing the school year unmolested by such useless pursuits.

Perhaps, but it's not like I have much else to do besides Quidditch. I'm dropping at least two classes, so I won't have to work so hard to keep up.

Hmmm...

Have you considered extracurricular activities, perhaps? Because, I mean, using this new-found free time to (/something is scratched out here)

Never mind. I would suppose that new-found free time is more of a blessing than it is an opportunity to wonder what to fill it with.

All the same, I do wish you luck on your, ah-- search for love (or a passable substitute)?

Thanks I think
