I am sufficiently underwhelmed. Watching a fish in its tank would be more enthralling than writing in a journal for no reason or reading other peoples' pointless writing - or ink blots in Weasley's case. Too bad my stupid father won't let me even have a fish. Maybe that's what we can do tomorrow, Chloe. We'll sneak in a fish and then take bets on

If things get boring it's up to you to change it.

I would never assume, Winifred Wood. I merely note that your comment reminded me of several hour-long pep talks I've endured the team has slept listened to (with all due attentiveness to every memorable, pithy phrase, &c.) in the past, and am holding out hope that you've not prepared any fresh salvos for the future. Am I being too optimistic?

[competitivewin]

Oh! Well, why would you want to get in the way? Everyone loves my pep talks.

[spareboot]

Stunned silence implies consent, now?

[competitivewin]

Not 'stunned' -- full of adoration.

[spareboot]

Ah. So that explains the chest pain.

[competitivewin]

That is the pang of rejection. Not that I've ever experienced such a thing.

[smithami]

Flirt elsewhere.

[competitivewin]

He can't help himself.

[with_bite]

Really, he can't. He's such a charmer.

[competitivewin]

I hate to disappoint him. The poor thing.

[with_bite]

Maybe us Gryffindors need to set up some sort of watch. I heard he was going to attempt to off himself by jumping off the top of our tower because you still won't have him.

[competitivewin]

That would be so inter-house of you guys. Houses bonding together, saving lives. Hookum will be so happy.

I'm not sure how much she actually reads these. I think she just skims them and only pays attention if something catches her eye. But yes. You shouldn't have to date Nathan. Surely we can think of other means to keep him alive!

[competitivewin]

That's good news because I think Potter would flip his lid.

[smithami]

Why would he Oh. That one.
