Well, well, now. I hear some very interesting things happened at the Masquerade Ball a bit ago. Judging from the rumors, I’m actually rather glad that I had a test to study for that night - sounds like someone beat up Severus Snape. To say the least, that was quite cruel and in bad taste. I thought it might have been a marauder, but shockingly, it was another Slytherin. I suppose they have some aggression issues to work through with the Gryffindor/Slytherin quidditch game so rapidly approaching.
On the subject of quidditch, the fact that no one takes the Hufflepuff team seriously is in desperate need of amending. Really, our problem is our keeper, who is a new recruit and doesn’t know very much yet. We’re trying to get him there, of course. But obviously, there’s a lot to be said for experience. Our next game isn’t for a bit, and we have plenty of time to really get it down. Everyone who didn’t think we were a threat will be eating his or her hat.
Oi vey, homework has made me miserably busy lately, but I did manage to bring my grade in Transfiration from a high “E” to a solid “O.” That one essay threw me off, but I think I’ve managed to get back on track pretty well. The new DADA teacher is mad…he got really angry at his reflection for ‘flipping him the bird’ or something…that’s not exactly the level of sanity I have come to expect from my teachers. Oh well, maybe he’ll prove to be good at what he does anyway. Who knows?
Well, either way, I am looking forward to a bit of rest, and a bit more time for Quidditch practices and friends. Sorry I’ve been neglecting you a bit, but you understand how school is. I’ll see you soon.
