(no subject)

There's been such a lot going on this week I've hardly had a Moment to write about it!  Of course Parvati and I went and cheered Gryffindor on to victory!  Quidditch is so exciting, even if I never can quite keep track of who has the Quaffle.  But it didn't matter really because Oliver Wood did an excellent job of keeping them out of our hoops.  He's such a strong flier.

And of course everyone was buzzing with all the news about Marvolo and Malfoy and the dragon. You can't imagine the silly things people were saying--I heard some second-year in Hufflepuff say that the dragon had bitten Marvolo's leg off!

It was frightfully brave of them, even though I'm sure our Head of House had good reasons for having the dragon. I'm sure he wouldn't harm it. At least, I hope he wouldn't.  I just hate to think of anyone hurting animals, even dragons.   I feel rather badly for Malfoy, getting such a lot of detention when he was only trying to help.    I think I would quite like to be saved from a dragon someday--by someone handsome and rich, of course.

Also, It's quite Astonishing the sort of dreadful creatures some people have in their family backgrounds.  They must be simply Crushed by the embarrassment. 

I'm so fortunate that my family is respectable.

Whats your wand core Lav? Because if its dragon heartstring I dont think the dragon exactly leaves those lying around.

I didn't hurt the dragon, Miss Brown.

I really was trying to help, and I wish I didn't have detention but there's not much I can do about it now. I'm sure it won't be anything I can't handle, of course.

So what family are you talking about, with a dreadful creature in their background?

I think she means Fawcett in Ravenclaw but for a minute I thought she meant someone here had a dragon in their family tree.

Well my name means Dragon. Maybe there's a reason for it.

I read a little bit about dragons this week and I think they can take care of themselves fairly well, Lav. I bet you wouldn't object if Oliver Wood rescued you from a dragon, though!

Has Jones been hounding you this week? She's being such a silly Billywig about it all.

Sorry I've not been about much but at least I've turned in those extra lines for Professor Action now.

I'm going to see if Malfoy's flying advice helps this week.

Oh yeah. I meant to tell her, try titen tightening up the muscles in her right knee when she banks left. Or - not her knee exactly. There's a muscle that runs down - uh anyway the muscles around there. But tighten the muscles on your RIGHT side when your banking left. Or else try to relax the muscles on the left side but it's easier - maybe I could show her. Its hard to explain. Anyway if shes still stuck after the extra practising I could show her how I keep it from dipping when I turn.

So do you need help with your flying, too?

All right. I've got detentions in the evenings but afternoons should be clear.

Cheers, Seamus, that would be grand.

I did do better yesterday, but I'm still loosing allt altitude.

I think I know what you mean but its hard to be sure in writing. Like learning how to play the violin from a book.

It would be easier to show you. Ill meet you after potions if you want. Or tomorrow.

I know! I'm just so tired of not having that free period to work on Transfiguration. And other things.

But it's nearly the weekend now! What shall we do tomorrow?
