Imagine my surprise to open this journal and discover that Madam Hooch had died. I mean...Hooch. I always thought that when death came for the old bat, she'd kick him in the knees and run

when you realize you miss us all and decide to come back, remember i bet you a whole packet of ballerina biscuits you would! i like the ones with the little sachets of mint creme.
I am most definitely not going to miss you all. Not in the slightest. Ye gods, I can barely deal with the circus of fools here. I'm supposed to deal with it in person?
Ravenclaw is the most backstabbing House in the school. Even the Slytherins throw in behind each other if someone attacks them. We're too busy knifing each other in the back to even think about it. Really, the only reason there's still a single Ravenclaw alive is that we're also all mostly insane and completely insular, thus making it not worth our whiles to actually end the lives of any of our Housemates.
I mean, really. I'm amazed that any of us survive First Year, because back then we haven't learned to take our battles and wars to words rather than fists.
We're all weird, we're all strange, we're all crazy, and you don't want any of us at your backs.
Yes, of course Hannah. We all understand each other. I'll just jaunt off now and ask Davies or Goldstein for help right now with all my problems because, well, of course they understand me.
I don't have any friends. Not any ones you know, at least.
And a Weasley and a mess of little Hufflepuffs. My word. I'll just start dancing for joy right now.
you should try it, terry, you really should!!! maybe not tony because i know the two of you are fighting still, but there's cho and marietta and roger!! luna's very good at solving problems too!!
you should! we have so much fun at our meetings, terry! you should really join the committee, i think you'd have fun in spite of yourself!
Roger has taken one-too-many Bludgers to the brain.
Cho and Marietta I have no actual open problem with, except for one certain thing which I have promised myself I won't hold against them. I'm remarkably restrained at times. I sometimes surprise even myself.
Luna...I have no problems with, actually. I don't count her as a friend, I don't think, however.
Somehow, I doubt your definition of 'fun' is the same as mine.
By the by, are you aware that there is no historical city of Budapest? There's no history there. It's Buda and Pest, and together they've been forced together to make something that neither of them bore any relation to whatsoever. You can almost see the stitching, the strain. Trying to hold two things that seperate in the same mold, it's impossible.
each half is it's own whole, and together they're something else entirely! it's like apples and oranges. You can stick half of each together and just have something that looks silly, or you can mix them up and make fruit salad!
i'm saying that when you have things that are different, you have a choice. you can just kind of shove them together and look a bit silly and not really try, or you can make something lovely that nearly everyone will like.

My 'friends' I mean. And don't count yourself, we've covered that in the past.

And I suppose I'll actually say it, for once.
'Such is the Ravenclaw way.'

and you have all sorts of lovely jokes, of course.
when you make friends, it's really real, you can just tell. if you don't think they're all friends to you, in the end, you're being silly, terry.
and i am your friend, even if you don't want me to be!
and you've still got the spotw committee, which means ginny weasley and all the hufflepuffs going into second year!

Think about it.

even though there is strain and things, it works... people live together and work together and no matter how hard it gets, they don't give up.

It's almost not even a real city.
Because two halves don't always make a whole.

Except you seem to think that it's a good thing.

Except not.
They'll never actually fit together. That's what I'm saying.
There's always going to be that strain. That's what I'm saying.
And it might be 'lovely', but not everyone is going to like it. That's what I'm saying.
And you're assuming care was taken in the first place.
