alt_lavenderArgh!
Mummy is being an absolute nutter! I don't understand it.
So, she mentioned in her last private message to me that Lovegood had asked to stay on at Hogwarts over the hols, and I was thinking, hurrah! That's the most sensible idea the girl has had in, oh, ever.
She gets to stay and muck stalls with Professor Brutka, and I don't have to look at her blank expression across the breakfast table every morning and worry that she'll say something mortifying at our holiday party. Everyone's happy!
So I said as much to Mummy and she said no, Lovegood has to come back because leaving her at Hogwarts would 'give the wrong impression.'
And, she said we all have to go to the viewing of Black's corpse--apparently it would, you guessed it, 'give the wrong impression' if we weren't there.
I don't see why, as everyone knows we're loyal, but there's no reasoning with her. Mothers!
Oh, and I thought you two would want to know that people have been asking Parvati and me all day if we did the quiz and we haven't given away a thing! So there, Belinda!

Date: 2010-12-16 03:54 am (UTC)Daphne just called the whole quiz thing immature - but I'm sure that's just because we put Blaise in twice for stuck-up and because Millie was in too many bad categories. She's very keen on Millie, I should have thought of that and we could've spread things out a little more. Ugh, but I wish people hadn't seen it before we'd finished it properly!
Though I suppose Porkinson was bound to whinge about it, even though we were fair about things like talent and popularity (well. With losers). She just can't stand her little pets to get slagged.
I still can't believe she actually asked for help with Mum's collection! I finally decided it's much better to be really sweet about it and help as much as I can get Mum to help, but oh, it was so tempting to tell her to get stuffed. She's so ... UGH. I can't even explain it. I mean, she should be someone we all get on with perfectly well, but instead she's gone and made herself a little court of misfits. And I know Draco's grown up with her and they'll always be close, but Rama, I don't understand why he sticks up for her. It's so frustrating!!!
You're right. I think it's one of those days. I think it's the Dementors. Everyone seems to want a good shout.
