Suspense
Oh dear.
Today Cedric Tynbridge told me in passing that in seventh year advanced potions, the students are learning the theory of love potions. Cedric assured me that it is theory only, and that Professor Bezoar told them in no uncertain terms that a loss of house points would not be the only consequence in the event that a student attempt to actually make a potion.
Still, as far as I know, this is the first year Hogwarts has allowed for the teaching of even love potion theory. I'm sure all of this has something to do with Headmaster Dumbledore, trust, and moving forward in the spirit of education, but all the same I am rather wary.
Hopefully the worst that will come of this shall be a few unlikely seventh years getting starry-eyed and sorted out within the course of a week.
All the same, for the remainder of the term I believe I shall be procuring my own food directly from the house elves. In this I don't even trust my friends as far as I can throw them (the record being four feet, across the dormitory. James is lighter than he appears, and all the boys were impressed for the rest of the week. No, I don't generally make a habit of throwing people.)
