Bored!

[alt_lavender]

I can't believe the Term is finally over!  No more revising for me--on to Parties and Presents!  And of course spending time with my Family and my best Friends! 

Who are sitting next to me right now.

Parvati and Padma and I have eaten All of our sweets from the cart, and done all of the Quizzes in Witch Weekly, and now we are Bored!

Come talk to us?  Well, unless your name is Zacharias Smith!

Sorry Zach--Padma's still in a Strop.

Well, that's only because Zacharias Smith the most loathsome, horrible, lying, impossible little toad there ever was!!!!

I don't know how you can still like him when he'd go accusing innocent people of melting his cauldron...and then not even apologise!

But it's ok, I know we're going to have the best holiday ever!

[alt_lavender]

Zach can be a Stupid Boy sometimes but he is still my friend.
Besides, Ms. Smith is practically Mummy's Best friend, so we almost have to get on.

He does need to Apologise to you though--no one should say that sort of thing to my friend!

[alt_padma]

Well, maybe you can remind him who Morag is, while your at it.

If he's going to be at your parent's party, perhaps we can Make him see reason.

I wonder if anyone else is writing in their journals when theyre in the same compartment?

[alt_lavender]

We can Try! I think now he is just being Stubborn to be Stubborn. He knows you would never really do a horrid thing like sabotage someone's cauldron.

I was hoping that someone else might be Bored too and decide to read their journal, but it is bit Funny I suppose.

Why, I could reach out right now and poke you or something!

[alt_padma]

Ouch!

[alt_lavender]

I miss you and Parvati already!

[alt_draco]

You know, some of us get sick when we write on the train.

[alt_lavender]

It was probably Wise of you not too then--I'm sure your seatmates were Grateful.

[alt_harry]

Draco was sick so I thought it wouldn't be nice to be writing while he couldnt.

[alt_lavender]

That was very Gentlemanly of you Marvolo!

[alt_pansy]

I saw a lovely royal purple jumper. Do you think it would go with my colouring?

[alt_lavender]

Oh, yes! Have you been out Christmas shopping?

[alt_pansy]

I have looked but I wasn't sure what colours and such to buy, and you and Padma were both so good at telling me what I should wear. So I thought I'd ask before I bought anything. Mum gave me money, so I need to spend it!

[alt_lavender]

See I simply Knew you could learn to be Fashionable!

[alt_pansy]

I can only learn if you teach me, because you always look so smart.

[alt_pansy]

Mum sometimes uses a personal shopper so I do think you can make a living at it. What an interesting job, too, don't you think? I'd be pants at it but it'd be wizard for the right person.

[alt_lavender]

That's good to Know! Or maybe I could own my own Clothing shop--Madame Malkin's is so old fashioned!

[alt_pansy]

Oh yes! Because you could also help people like me and people would know that if it's in your shop, it must be in season.

[alt_lavender]

That would be Grand! But what if I meet my True Love and he wants me to be an Ornament to Society?

[alt_pansy]

Well, perhaps you can convince him to let you have a little hobby? All of the women of society could come get dress robes from you, and that way no one would show up in the same robes as another, because they'd have you to keep track of this.

[alt_lavender]

Perhaps! Unless he turns out to be Very demanding! Some men are, Mummy says. But Daddy isn't.

You are very clever, Pansy, even if you are Odd. But you are getting less Odd, which is good.

[alt_pansy]

Ah, but my being odd is what makes me interesting. Nothing's worse than being boring.

[alt_lavender]

Do you think people who are out of school can get jobs teaching other people how to be Fashionable? Because that is what I would like to do.

If I don't get Married first of course.
