Various Items

I'm afraid I've been a bit remiss in my public posting recently, but really, it's very difficult to know what to say about January.

Such a cold and generally uninspiring month--hols are over and exams start to seem all too real. And everything's just grey.

I will say that Parvati's and my fashion night with the younger years went well! Thanks again, Professor Carpenter for supporting us and sharing your time.

Mrs. Patil, the sample robes you lent us were a real sensation; I know you already know this, but pink is definitely the new black this season. Though I would advise all of our younger fashionistas not to go overboard; too much of a new trend looks simply gauche.

And now it's February--still a cold, greyish month--but it has Valentine's Day, which I simply adore! It's a day to celebrate friendship, show admiration, and play the game of love.

Play on, I say! Especially today, when we all have opportunities to spend time together somewhere that isn't this draughty castle.

I know just what you mean about January.

And I'm so glad that fashion night went well for you two! Mum's robes never fail to disappoint, do they?

Remember, Linus has invited us for Butterbeer, so we'll be at the Three Broomsticks for a little while. You and Pav should come too! Seamus was going to bring a friend, maybe, I'm not sure. He wasn't too sure that would be a good idea when I last talked to him but maybe. I hope he does.

Valentine's seemed like it was so much easier to endure back when we were younger and it was all about friendship and the idea of romance, wasn't it? When it's about actual romance it seems more important to be in some kind of romance. And it seems so much worse to not have a beau, too. That's why I'm well glad Lines had the idea to get together. It will make the day more jolly.

Maybe we should do something for Thursday to celebrate that is more inclusive, I think, and not just all about boyfriends and girlfriends.

You're not going about with Zabini, are you?

You know he's really a horrible person. I mean, I hope you're not considering him as boyfriend material. He's not.

Plus he's all wrong for you, anyway.
