alt_sally_anneI have been having a lot of trouble revising, but exam week has mostly been going okay. I guess I'd done enough work beforehand that I mostly remembered everything, at least in the classes with a practical component. I don't know about History of Magic. I was very happy with how the Runes project turned out, at least.
I am especially glad that the Dark Arts exam is over.
Professor Slughorn, if it's possible I would like to stop by your office to talk when you are not busy with exams. I am hoping you can give me advice regarding next year.

Private message to Harry Marvolo
Date: 2011-06-01 07:53 pm (UTC)I'm going to talk to Professor Slughorn about whether I should take Dark Arts next year or just drop it. He was the one who suggested I try to get in, because it would help me make connections, but those connections won't do me much good if I'm hurt too badly for Madam Pomfrey to heal the next time Professor Carrow drops a bookcase on me.
Re: Private message to Harry Marvolo
Date: 2011-06-01 09:44 pm (UTC)I just posted about how I wrote to my dad. I want her to see it. I want her to know that she isnt allowed to do that any more. Not even to you.
I think you should take Dark Arts after all. Don't let her grind you down.
I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good
Date: 2011-06-01 08:03 pm (UTC)When we got to the exam today Miss Professor Carrow noticed right away that Harry hadn't brought Hermione with him and she made a bunch of comments about it, really scary, threatening comments. And then, she had a bunch of common rats and we went up one at a time to try again whatever of the Cardinal Curses we'd tried a year ago in that 'taster' class. And whatever it was, whether we failed or succeeded she'd do it herself to 'show us how it was done,' you know.
When everyone finished she said she wanted to give a few students the opportunity to raise their marks by duelling two-on-one and then she called up Greg and Vince AND ME and I realised she was going to put me right under that bookcase again, and it looked even less stable than it had last time and she'd stacked... oh, I don't even want to think about it. Heavy things. But before I could go up Harry jumped up and shouted that if anyone was going to get a chance to raise their mark it ought to be him and he wanted to be the one to duel Vince and Greg, and he went up to the front of the room and got ready and then she said never mind, we were actually out of time and dismissed us.
I hate her. I HATE HER.
The rat I had to kill, I closed my eyes and pretended I was casting Avada Kedavra on Carrow. And it might have worked except that since my eyes were closed the spell missed the rat. It completely blew apart the glass container the rat was in, though.
Anyway I'm going to talk to Professor Slughorn and see what he thinks but I can't think of anything he could say that would make me want to stay in. I'm not a Gryffindor and if someone actually wants to hurt me I want to AVOID them, not sit class with them once a week. Maybe I could take the Arithmancy book home over the summer and learn enough to switch to Arithmancy.

Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good
Date: 2011-06-01 08:17 pm (UTC)I don't know what Professor Carrow was planning to do to her. But I'm sure it was something awful.

Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good
Date: 2011-06-02 12:42 am (UTC)So, Draco and Daphne and most of the rest of my house had my back and I didn't even think about it until later.
I don't know. I'm still going to talk to Professor Slughorn about dropping Dark Arts.
Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good
Date: 2011-06-02 12:56 am (UTC)The cunning Slytherin plan was for Daphne Greengrass to start screaming?
And you don't think that might have sent Miss Professor Marrowbone off her nut? She'd probably have started cursing everyone in sight! Though maybe she'd have started with Greengrass, and you could have jumped behind Goyle or under a table or something.
Or run away.

Date: 2011-06-01 09:48 pm (UTC)I'm glad Harry was there for you, and that she isn't as nutters as her awful horrible brother to put Harry in danger, but I hate her.
So. Very. Much.
Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good
Date: 2011-06-01 11:19 pm (UTC)Good on Marvolo for foiling her. We owe him one. And yeah, dropping that class sounds like a really, really good idea.

Date: 2011-06-01 09:49 pm (UTC)If only for your nerves.
And, you know, that whole staying alive thing.

Date: 2011-06-01 08:55 pm (UTC)Got a bit hair-raising there at the end. I'd try a joke about how it was Harry-raising, too, except there wasn't a thing that was funny about it. Just, well-
Good to have it finished.
