FANG continues to reside with Ernie. He remains a weird bitey cat all the days of his life, but does like to sit near Ernie, supervising, whenever he reads anything.

I do not even know what to think any more.

If either of you are awake and want to sit in the common room with me and not talk

I mean you can talk but I don't really

I just

I keep having nightmares. So I am not sleeping very much.

The elves have outdone themselves. The green and silver sparkles on this cake are really sparkling. Can anyone see what those other things are, up at the head table? And Padma has one too, I think.

I just wanted to say thank you. For making certain that people had help if they needed it. Because it is hard enough dealing with difficult happenings in the world, and although school is supposed to prepare us for the world, it does not seem the best use of our Hogwarts years to add difficulties on top of what is already there. So thank you for not adding difficulties and for trying to take some of the unnecessary ones away.

Do you have plans for after leaving? I mean, do you know what you will be supposed to do? I imagine you'll be doing many interesting and exciting things. My own plans are to do as well as I possibly can at working for the Strettons, since they are willing to pay for permits and things, and I have room and board there so that's handled then. It is not easy for a halfblood to find a position so I feel very lucky. And it is not so bad because Mrs Stretton yells less these days. Usually because she is so busy filling out paperwork.

I think there is really a future for me there. Because Jeremy does not seem to want to leave his current position to be active in the day to day running of Stretton Farms. And he is nicer to me than he was. Possibly because he is working hard at the Ministry. He always looks tired lately and maybe that is why he is nicer. Because it is too much work to be unpleasant. I don't know but it is certainly convenient whatever it is.

Anywiz, thank you for your help. And for talking to me. You know, when things were very difficult. Because it helped.

Oh, and I am going to send for a bunch of jam to celebrate after NEWTS. I am certain that a party in the Hufflepuff common room can be arranged. For everybody, I mean. Not just Puffs. I am thinking a jam and toast party in the evening. The firsties will love it, too.

P.S. If there is ever an opportunity could you please say something that makes it clear to Ernie that we are just friends? You and I, I mean. Because I think sometimes he might worry. And that is just silly. But boys are just silly sometimes. I mean
you know what I mean.

I am sorry I could not meet you earlier but I was in the common room helping with someone. It was Blessfield. You know, Jessica. She’s a third-year.

Her father had sent her an owl. And now she is all upset. Because the Watch caught her mother out after curfew and they almost

Well. I don’t know what they almost did, and Jessica doesn’t either, because her father didn’t say, but it was very bad. Or it could have been. But Jessica’s father is an Auror and he made them stop. Only then he wrote this long parchment full of rules for Jessica to keep her safe whenever she leaves school grounds.

One of them is if she ever hears people singing “tow row row” in the streets, she is to get home by any means possible, or else if she cannot, she should hide. Because the Watch is singing that now, when they go smashing things up. Especially halfblood things.

So now I am worried that I should tell all of the other halfbloods at school. Because they should know.

Do you think I should?

And Blessfield is fretting about her mother. Even though her father has said she is all right and no harm done. But one cannot blame her for fretting.

You were the best! How you stood up to him -- it was dead brilliant.

I do not know what to think right now. Finch-Fletchley came and gave me some friendly advice. He said that's what it was. Anyhow he warned me that there is a catch to the lesson Professor Desai gave us, and that I should read the footnotes very carefully. And if I need help I should ask him. Because otherwise I will turn all scaly blue.

At first I thought he was trying to make me mess it up somehow, because I am not certain he is a trustworthy person. But I looked at the footnotes and there is actually something there. So now I do not know what to think.

What do you think? Was he just being nice? Or was he being nice for something? And if so, what?

This is all very complicated!

Maybe he is just tired of everyone looking at him like he is so dangerous?
alt_megan: (tired of this)
I am sorry to bother you but there is something that Sally-Anne Perks said you might be able to help me with. It is a thing involving a dream. Well, many dreams. And probably it is mostly not a Divination thing, but part of it might be. And she said you might be a good person to talk to. So could we meet? Because I could write it all down but it would just be so much easier to tell you. And then if there is something Divinatory about it maybe you can tell, and that might help the dreams stop, along with certain other things I am doing that Sally-Anne talked with me about.

It is interfering with my paying attention in class, so it's sort of a thing to bring to the Head Girl. I hope.
alt_megan: (sidelong)
Please, if you have a little time, I have a question about a Divination thing. And Ernie said you are good at it.
alt_megan: (sidelong)
That message from that Severus Snape person makes it sound like all the Council members are Hogwarts students and the Lord Protector is Madam Umbridge.

Sorry. Only I have had nightmares about her again and that is probably why she is on my mind.

I shouldn't say this to anyone. But you two are safe for me to say it to.
alt_megan: (unsure)
Might I possibly speak to you on a matter of scholarly import as Moon calls it? I hate to trouble you. Only everyone says you are absolutely snitch at Divination and I am not. At all. And I need to talk with someone who is.

Please?
alt_megan: (unsure)
There are rumours that Patil was cruciating people this afternoon and someone said this was the beginning of a new programme where the prefects are being encouraged to practise the cardinal curses regularly on younger students at random. I don't know what to believe.

You haven't been told to do that, have you? Please say that you haven't.

It's like my dream
alt_megan: (wary)
How can he just walk in here like that after what he has been doing?

Zach is mad to hit him

but I am glad he did.
alt_megan: (unsure)
Are you around? Can you

I just had a very very bad dream. It was awful. I can't stop shaking.
alt_megan: (Default)
Ugh. It has been the worst Christmas day ever because there were a million basket deliveries, but something happened which I have to tell you.

You know how Jeremy sometimes does inconvenient things when he is cross with his parents?

He gave Gemma a drum for Christmas. You can imagine.
alt_megan: (wary)
You know all about creatures. What is big and bony and black and has wings and is outside right now?

Because I went to call Fang and there were things.

they don't eat cats do they? only they are very scary-looking
alt_megan: (wary)
You should probably come out and see this. There are things. Outside.

I went outside for a minute to call Fang. Just in case he was there and wanted to know if it was safe to come in. And there were these

They

Never mind I just thought of who to ask

And on second thought do not go outside after all.
alt_megan: (sidelong)
If you see Fang please tell me. I think he is hiding somewhere because he does not approve of is put off by all the preparations going on for the feast and I am not really worried but if you see him do please tell me.

It's probably just all the bustle and maybe the weather also has something to do with it. One of the younger 'Puffs just wrote that Creatures isn't going so well today because they were supposed to look at the baby bowtruckles, well not babies any more, that's the point, but they're supposed to do sketches. Only they're all hiding. The bowtruckles, I mean. So maybe it is the weather.

It's probably fine. Right?
alt_megan: (thought)
Thank you for trying today. Only I hope you don't get in trouble for it somehow. I don't think Professor Desai was pleased that you changed her lesson.
