Check in?
Hydra still has her wand, if anyone needs something. (More urgent than hair styling. Find a hair brush if that's all you need.)
There are still MLE posted around the school. Enforcers, I think. One of them's watching the corridor where we'd get into the secret room.
Everyone in Slytherin is just -- I don't even know. A lot of the younger ones are sort of sleepwalking. I'm worried that Milli will do something stupid.
The shoulder of my robe is soaking wet because Alecto Simmons spent a half hour crying on my shoulder after breakfast and I don't have a wand to dry it out.

Seamus Finnigan is the only Gryffindor with a wand at present.

Date: 2015-05-10 04:35 pm (UTC)She tried to send an owl out before the announcement at breakfast, and they wouldn't let her, and she seemed really
Shaken? Worried?
Anyways. She sort of rambled for a little about Sanji, and Regulus, and how we'd had our differences and everything, but we'd always managed to work together when it really mattered, and that family really mattered, and then she said, 'I know you can get messages to the Weasley twins. I don't know how, but it's not using owls or journals, maybe they invented something, that's not important. I need you to get this to my sister.' And she handed me a note.
I said that if owls were suspended, I wasn't sure if I could help her, but I took the note.
I don't think she had anyone else she could ask.
Anyways. I'm just going to copy it out here.
'This is from your sister, and to make sure you know it's really me, at Uncle Kapoor's wedding we went and hid under the stairs to the reception hall. And you said you'd never get married, that we'd run away if our parents ever tried to make us get married. But then I said Naniji was probably going to look for us soon, so we went back upstairs and you danced with Arjuna Kamala and changed your mind. You know that owl I sent you a few days ago? DO NOT do what it says. Do the exact opposite. I've changed my mind. I love you. Family first. Always your twin sister, Lily-pads.'
Seemed like it was something she really wanted to tell Parvati, and I don't see the harm in passing it along.
I think we should.
Fred, will you transcribe and send? Make sure it's an owl that can't be traced back to you.

Date: 2015-05-10 05:21 pm (UTC)Goes against the grain to help that twit, I'll admit, but it sounds like she was setting her sister up for something and she's rethinking it now. So all right.
Just this once, Patil. Because your sister's always been decent, even if you're dragon vom.

Bloody good scones. And soda bread. Who knew the bloke had it in him?

Date: 2015-05-10 04:43 pm (UTC)I was in Gryffindor when Professor Sandoval-Pennifold locked everyone in, what, so I spent the night there. As soon as she opened the portrait, I returned to Hufflepuff to freshen up. Since breakfast I've been hanging about near the entrance to the Headmaster's office in hopes that he'll ask for me and I can pass along more of what's going on.
No luck thus far, what.
If the secret room is unavailable, what about the larger classroom where you lot went to read Pure Victory? I should think people would come up if someone were to hint that there will be a meeting there. As long as the likes of Patil and Finnigan don't nose in, what, everyone could talk about Harry and Daphne and Draco's reappearance (well done, Draco, incidentally), and anything else.

Date: 2015-05-10 06:18 pm (UTC)We'll have enough Prefects there that it's plausible we'd be getting together for some sort of memorial, or making sure everyone's been properly seen after, which isn't that far from the truth.

Date: 2015-05-10 05:01 pm (UTC)Professor Grubbly-Plank is one. She's been an all right Head of House (better than some!) but she doesn't really do people, so a lot of the day to day handling of interpersonal things has fallen on Ernie & me & the rest of the prefects.
But this morning she gathered everyone & made a little speech about supporting one another, and said "Busy hands are often the best medicine for grieving hearts," and she's been sort of giving everyone jobs or things to do. Like taking some people down to the Menagerie to help her clean cages, and organising OWL students into study groups, and bringing out her personal Kneazles for any students who don't have them and want to sit & stroke something furry. I can tell she's absolutely furious though; it's in the way she scrubs.
And then there's Zach Smith, who's wandering around muttering about how this just isn't on.
Private Message to Hydra
Date: 2015-05-10 06:26 pm (UTC)I'm so very sorry about Daphne. That must've been
Well, words really can't capture it, can they?
I'm sorry.
I hope you're not in too much trouble over Harry's flying the coop. The morning papers didn't know quite what to make of it -- I don't suppose you lot have had the chance to read over them, have you?
Anyways.
I hope Sally-Anne and Pansy and you are taking good care of each other today. Wish I could be there as well.
