Alright, is this thing recording? [tap tap on the page] Great, it is. Okay--

The castle was nice enough to give me a little training dummy, like the one we had at Hogwarts. I figure I might as well stay in practice while I'm here--never know when you might need it--and I'm sure it's what Harry would do.
I'm recording this really for myself, to keep track of my progress. Maybe I'll even show some improvement! My memory's gotten loads better since I started keeping a planner.
I'm going to start with some basics.

Wow! Three in a row! Not bad for not having practiced lately--
[FHWMMRRRRRR]
Uh--I don't think you're supposed to do that--hey--watch it--!
[spangBOOOOM]
[silence]
[weakly] Oh, bloody ..... ungh .... not good.
((the little training dummy went rogue, took off, and smacked Neville straight in the face. He's sprawled out on the front lawn with a sooty jumper and a slightly bloody nose))
