Eventful Weekend

[alt_lavender]

It's nice to have such a lot going on! It's been rather quiet around here lately.

I hope everyone who attended enjoyed the revue last night; we certainly had a good time putting it on! Many thanks to Daphne & Mr. Krumgold for everything, and especially for a very fine cast party last night.

And of course, thanks to Headmistress Umbridge for allowing the show to go on.

It's been lovely weather all day too--simply perfect for a Hogsmeade visit. Parvati and I decided to bypass the crowds at the Three Broomsticks for a picnic in the plaza, and it turned out to be an excellent notion, as several of our friends found their way over to chat, and we didn't have to brave the crush of butterbeer-gulping third and fourth years.

Speaking of gulping, some people were looking rather green at dinner this evening. That's what too many Chocolate Frogs will do to a person!

All of us on the Junior Council were quite busy too! Fortunately, most people listened to the Headmistress, but a few were simply daft--I still can't believe McLaggen thought he could smuggle pasties in under his hat! I don't think the 6th years have enough to do, since they're not sitting exams this year. And some people think they're simply untouchable.

Although, there is such a thing as excessive enthusiasm for one's work--why some people thought threatening to show Longbottom's pants to the world was a good idea I can't imagine. It certainly wasn't anything I wanted to see!

Lovegood, do you think just because you're using funny letters we can't read what you're writing?

Ten points from Ravenclaw for speaking to a Junior Councillor that way.

Private Message to Padma

[alt_lavender]

What'd she say?

It did look a bit shirty but I squinted at it and couldn't really make it out at all.

Re: Private Message to Padma

I'm pretty sure that last word is 'awful': 'Why do you have to be so awful.'

I'm not at all sure why she's using such ridiculous characters, unless it's to try to mask what she's written.

But then again, it's Loony. I know your mum's been trying with her but honestly, if there's one thing besides stupidity that no one can sure, it's insanity.

Re: Private Message to Padma

[alt_lavender]

True! She's not usually stroppy though, just sort of hopeless.

Wonder what's got into her?

Re: Private Message to Padma

[alt_padma]

There's just no telling with crazy people. I mean, one of these days she just might snap and kill you and your family in your beds. Honestly, it's the kind of thought that would make me insist her room locked from the outside, you know?

Re: Private Message to Padma

[alt_lavender]

Ugh, what a dreadful thought!

I was just going to ignore her until she wandered away (she does that, you know), but it was sweet of you to step in and defend me.

You don't really think she's dangerous, do you?

Re: Private Message to Padma

[alt_padma]

No, I guess she's not really dangerous. Except maybe to herself.

Although you know it's possible she didn't destroy that classroom by accident.

Re: Private Message to Padma

[alt_lavender]

It does seem a little...wildly destructive.

And she is friends with the Weasleys--do you suppose one of them could have put her up to it somehow?

Oh, go off and be a nutter somewhere else!

[alt_padma]

Well, maybe you should stop writing until the Headmistress decides to lift the spell.

And besides, she didn't make you write such horrid things or make you insult the Junior Council. OR a Prefect.

Ten more points from Ravenclaw and I'm speaking to Professor Vector about a detention if you answer back again, Lovegood.
