alt_sally_anneI was thinking we could make a list of things we find usefully distracting.
1. Christmas gifts. I've been working on knitting things and so on.
2. Someone left behind a catalogue from a book shop and I've been going through it and writing down the names of books I'd like to try to borrow from somewhere.
3. I was thinking maybe I'd re-read 'Pure Hunger' and 'Pure Power' seeing as the sequels are coming out soon and perhaps tonight would be a good night to do that as I don't expect I'll be sleeping much.

Date: 2013-11-12 05:18 am (UTC)This is worse.
But worrying where they can see it won't help them right now.
Re: Private Message to Ron
Date: 2013-11-12 05:25 am (UTC)I'm sorry.

Date: 2013-11-12 05:05 am (UTC)They're not calming, they're DISTRACTING. Try to keep up.
(no subject)
Date: 2013-11-12 05:07 am (UTC)So you want to READ about fighting to keep from worrying about people who are fighting?
I say we just go join in. Then we aren't just sitting here on our hands.

Date: 2013-11-12 05:11 am (UTC)Anyway, I can't apparate.

Date: 2013-11-12 05:16 am (UTC)And there are Floo points, too--I mean to say, Sirius gave a Floo address for people at his friend's farm so there might be others nearby wherever we'd need to go.
If you asked Matron, she'd tell people we all came down with some sort of flu and we're all in the Hospital Wing. It might not fool Professor Dolohov but then he's out there with the others, possibly.

Re: Private Message to Sally-Anne
Date: 2013-11-12 05:19 am (UTC)It's part of why I don't think I'm going to sleep much tonight. I don't trust they'll TELL us.
Private Message to Sally Anne
Date: 2013-11-12 05:18 am (UTC)But only if you want to go. Do you? I mean, I think we can at least wait for tomorrow and see what's come of it. This could just be a camp thing and it may be on its way to being put down already. And if that's true, then we're not needed yet. But if it catches and other camps go up, they'll need us. That's what Harry's talking about. If this is more than just a single camp. If it's all out rebellion, we've got to be in it. We can't hang back and think that other people will fight it for us.
Anywiz. I don't want to talk this out in front of Evelyn, yeah?
But we should talk. Are prefects back from rounds yet?
We could meet.
Re: Private Message to Sally Anne
Date: 2013-11-12 05:23 am (UTC)That would be very distractingThat would be good. Ours are back, so it shouldn't be hard to slip out in a little while.Justin said the same thing and yes. If it comes to that I think we should go, all of us who want to, whether the Order says 'yes' or not.
And yeah. I'd want you to side-along me.
But not tonight. Right now -- we don't know enough about what's going on to be useful.
And the last time we went up against Councilwizards we didn't do very well.I'm afraid what would happen is that instead of helping people we'd wind up taking up resources because the Order would have to rescue us.Re: Private Message to Sally Anne
Date: 2013-11-12 05:31 am (UTC)Sorry.
No, you're right. If we go, we've got to do it right. We can fight and we know better than to run straight into chaos with no plan. So, yeah. We should wait for the reports overnight and see what's coming of it. I mean, if this is really going to be war, they'll need us tomorrow and the next day and the next.

Date: 2013-11-12 05:21 am (UTC)And do you know why? Because he put himself in the middle of it. I mean, yeah. He asked first, but we can't do that. They'll say we have to stay here. But it's the same thing: Stretton's going because he wouldn't take No for an answer. We shouldn't either.

Date: 2013-11-12 05:13 am (UTC)Excellent notion, what.
5. If he's out there fighting, Professor Dolohov won't be able to teach Noble Arts tomorrow.
6. Nor shall Professor Lestrange.
7. Do you think there will be another play next term? What about?
-Justin
(no subject)
Date: 2013-11-12 05:17 am (UTC)That's something, anyway!
And I think there will be another play next year and it will be a musical production based on ... I don't know. Oh, wait, I do know. It'll be a musical based on 'Pure Hunger,' it'll be a hit.

Date: 2013-11-12 05:21 am (UTC)I mean to say, I can bally well understand they're jolly thinly veiled parallels to the Protectorate. But I found them--well, the first one, I should say--rather formulaic.
Oh, I say:
8. Who in the Galleon club do you think will be next to join the Order? Ginny?
-Justin
(no subject)
Date: 2013-11-12 05:24 am (UTC)Maybe Cedric Diggory?
(no subject)
Date: 2013-11-12 05:27 am (UTC)I think he'd be good for it.

Date: 2013-11-12 05:33 am (UTC)It reminded me of a number of books I've read before. Perhaps it's because they're not available here, though, that it seems so engaging.
