Bored Out Of My Mind
What to do when you're confined to the tower. That is the question. I think McGonagall is going to murder Dean and Seamus. They've been practising the Bubble-Head Charm that Professor Flitwick taught us last class on poor Neville. Because they've not quite got it right, they continue to blow his head up to look like a balloon, instead of the bubble being safely around the head. Viktor taught me how to do it fourth year, and I'd offer to help, but I doubt they'd accept. It seems as though they're rather enjoying themselves, although the first time McGonagall saw Neville, she was practically beside herself. She had to leave me in charge while she went to find Professor Flitwick for the proper reversal Charm, although she luckily wrote it down for the next time. I made note of it myself, because I think it might be useful to know how to fix an improperly placed Bubble-Head Charm.
Harry has a bit of cabin fever, I think, and is scheming to get out of here. I don't know if that's really the best idea, but what choice do I have but to help him? He's so involved with every problem this school has had since first year, I can hardly expect him to sit around and do nothing now. And I must admit, I've gotten so used to being privy to the clandestine happenings of this school, I'm curious myself.
Besides, it'd probably do me some good to get away from Lavender and Parvati. I have a hunch they've made it their year-long goal to "make me over" - you know, makeup, fashionable clothing, and all - and I really do not want to be here when they decide today is the perfect day to try out their plan. Caring about your looks is all right some of the time, but it's certainly not for me on a day-to-day basis. They've been talking loudly in the dormitory about how important first appearances are when you're trying to find a job, hinting to me and such, but I say if someone doesn't want me with my school record, then it's their loss. I'd much rather get a job based upon how many NEWTs I receive than how I look.
