My! There certainly is a lot of drama going on in the castle lately! All thanks to my sister and her cohorts, no doubt. In any case, I haven't had time to take most of it in, unless you count Millicent Bulstrode chasing Pansy Parkinson in the library with a rather large volume of difficult potions. I had hoped to borrow that one today, I think it ( Read more... )

If there's anything to Seamus's accusation regarding Lavender's charm work, then we presumably have both her and my dear sister (as one is rarely found to be plotting without the other) to thank for the fact that should any behavioural studies be performed upon our generation, scientists will undoubtedly note that the most common Pavlovian response ( Read more... )

Honestly Lavender! I see my sister so little during the school year as it is, it's really the least you could do to allow her to spend some time at home. What's this new project you two are cooking up? Parvati, is it really necessary that you go to Lavender's every day? I went to Diagon Alley yesterday and barely had enough powder to floo home ( Read more... )

I'm not sure if I'm frightened or relieved to be leaving here. I don't doubt that my parents could keep my sister and me safe, but I just feel so much better with all the very capable teachers and all my friends ( Read more... )

Parvati, what's going on at the Gryffindor table? For being wise old Ravenclaws, the most daft rumours are bounding around our side of the Great Hall.

The school's in an uproar, and Hermione's gone, of course. Professor Dumbledore might as well name her Head Girl already. Whatever will Hogwarts do when she graduates?

I can't believe exams are the week after next! I think I'll be fine in Arithmancy, and I did all the exercises in the back of the Ancient Runes textbook for the chapters we covered this term. Does anyone have predictions on what will be on the Charms and Magical Creatures exams? And I'm trying to organize a study group for a few classes, anyone ( Read more... )

I woke up this morning to find my natter snuggled up in bed with me! It was the most darling thing, and I almost forgave it for causing such a disturbance ( Read more... )

Well I suppose we are only tied, so if we can take the next game (which could still happen), there'll be nothing to worry about, I suppose. The important thing is not to let morale get down, eh? Sure, the Hufflepuffs are celebrating, and there are cookies, and Butterbeer all around, and lots of laughter and music and fun ( Read more... )

Loads of luck to Cho and the rest of the Ravenclaw team! All we need is a repeat performance of the last game, and we're set for the Quidditch Cup! At the last game, I noticed the Gryffindor-Slytherin attendance was a bit lacking. C'mon guys, don't be too sore about the ban! Now Parvati, since you're basically the social coordinator of ( Read more... )

Lots of thanks to Lavender and Anthony. I'm feeling right as rain now, and I think my sister's doing well, too. As I cleverly ascertained (in my dreary, melancholy state), Parvati and I ran into a couple of glumbumbles (the Latin name has escaped me). I don't remember much myself, though I was horrified to see what I'd written on my natter. ( Read more... )
