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!

Lavs, really, you shouldn't let her insult you like that.

It was rather ridiculous what people thought they could bring back. Or what they thought they could threaten to bring back--did you notice what happened to Michael? He didn't have anything with him but since he'd written about smuggling choc, some of the others wanted to strip-search him, too. I asked him if he'd really meant it and he said of course not, everyone knew the rules about the food, so we just looked in his bag and it was clear.

And I know what you mean about people overdoing it in the village. Burbage only ate two bites of his kidney pie and went running for the loo. He didn't come back to supper, either. I think Loki Dames went to check on him before the pudding. So now he'll be starving come morning. It's utterly stupid.

But you remember when those Wizengamot people came to talk to us about Interrogating and all? Well, I remember one of them said that there's no amount of preparation or cleverness that can make up for the perpetrator being dumb as a muggle. So. I guess even certain Ravenclaws are no exception.

Private Message to Padma and Parvati

Did you see McLaggen's face? It was priceless!

I did feel a bit badly for that one Hufflepuff third year--West, I think her name is. She was absolutely terrified and swore she'd just forgotten to eat her Chocolate Frogs in Hogsmeade.

I think she might've been telling the truth, but getting my wand all sticky poking around in her knapsack didn't exactly put me in the best mood.

People are idiots. It's a shame this school isn't more selective about whom they let in. Perhaps we'll see that change soon, but in the meantime, I suppose it's time well-spent to bring a bit more discipline to the unruly masses.

Especially the Gryffindors. (Sorry, Brown, but your lot really are the worst.)

Hooper got caught with sausages. A dirty great string of them looped around his neck and hanging down his trouser legs. Thought that cravat he was wearing wasn't at all obvious. Brainless. Of course, no one will want to eat them, given where we found them. What a waste.

I don't agree with you about Longbum. Watching Crabbe and Goyle make him squirm was more entertaining than last night's Revue. They were just having a bit of fun until Diggory had to put his nose in, but Greg says the private show was almost as good. Says they almost got Longbum to take a swing at them. Shame he didn't. That would have been a story to tell!
