I feel like I've hardly been here, lately...mentally, anyway. I swear, I was the only Gryffindor who didn't sign Professor Black's card. And he's practically my favorite teacher! At least he seems to be all better again. And my brain seems to be back at Hogwarts.
Had dinner with Seamus at the Shifty Lemur, which wasn't so bad, really...except for the misguided interior decoration. I've never seen so many stuffed monkeys in all my life.
Anyway. Meal was good, except I couldn't figure out if Seamus was being friendly, or...well....friendly. He kept nudging my leg with his foot, but it was a very small table...perhaps he didn't mean to. Though I'm not sure what to make of the fact that he spent more time looking at me than at his plate.
Maybe I have a spot?
After diner, we walked around Hogsmeade a bit before heading back to school. We weren't holding hands, but we were standing awefully close, especially when it got dark and all the streetlights came on. It was a chilly night, though...he could have just been cold.
I was about to ask him, too....really I was. But then someone (I think it was Millicent Bullstrode, but maybe it was George in a wig) threw a dung bomb into the crowd nearbye and it sort of ruined the mood.
At least I got a chance to say hullo to Professors Black and Lupin, as they were walking through the main entrance hall when Seamus and I came in. They really spend a lot of time together, don't they? They must be really, really great friends.
