I haven't a clue as to what's going on. Padma and Terry were storming about the common room a few days ago. I heard, vaguely, "statistically," "children," and "Blaise."
Whatever it means, I'm positive I wouldn't have liked the entirety of the conversation.
And...well. Ethan spoke with me yesterday - after asking for something for a hangover - to tell me that he and Padma aren't dating anymore. I...can't say that I'm terribly upset. I think this probably makes me a horrible brother. But there it is. I do feel sorry for him, though.
I'm just...not really sure what to do about things now. She seems to be spending more time in the Greenhouses - like she did at the beginning of the year. And she looks almost lost, sometimes, when she thinks no one's watching. Does it make me odd, that I notice that? Shouldn't I keep my eyes to my books and papers instead of letting them trail her like some sort of stalker?
Luckily she hasn't noticed. I pray that she doesn't. I've come, almost, to value our friendship more than any dreams I might have of going beyond that. Which sounds terribly cliche, but it's the honest to God truth. I wouldn't want my affections for her to ruin our friendship. So...perhaps. Perhaps it's wisest for me to simply keep them to myself. There's no harm, really.

Padma -
I was wondering if you'd like to meet with me this afternoon, simply to talk. I realize you might not want to, and that's perfectly understandable...I'd just hoped

Things seem to have gotten rather rocky there, for a bit, but hopefully everything will clear up.
