I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good

Well

I hope the Order is planning on giving me some Potions tutoring in addition to the Apparation lessons.

The Headmistress caught me giving Stephen Capper his tea (which is just TISANE, mind you, not anything I'm not supposed to have, though I was trying to get him to think it was a sleeping potion -- so much for THAT) and now she's forbidden me to make potions EVEN IN POTIONS CLASS.

I assume I'm still allowed to make them WHILE I'M TAKING MY OWL EXAM but I didn't ask because I didn't want to give her any ideas.

AND she told Capper that his brother died in the camps, after they snapped his wand and sent him there (because he wasn't nervous enough! I mean I HAVE BEEN MAKING HIM THESE TEAS BECAUSE HE CAN'T SLEEP FOR WORRYING ABOUT THAT HAPPENING TO HIM) and I'm hoping that really means the Order got him out, since they faked my mum's death maybe they also faked Thomas Capper's?

She didn't put imperius on me, she just told Slughorn I'm not allowed to brew anymore even in class or under supervision. He told me he'd talk to her about it, though I doubt it'll do any good.

I hadn't even thought about the stupid badge. I was wearing it, because I'd been at YPL exercises and I was heading to supper next. I've transfigured a duplicate, though now I'm wondering if it'll make her even MORE suspicious if I stash the original in my trunk. Maybe a soundproof pouch inside my book bag would be better? Because if they're also something she uses to know exactly where you are, it would be awfully suspicious if it tells her I'm in my dorm when she knows I'm not and sees me wearing it -- you know?

Ugh.

You're right, a sound-proof pouch is a good idea, in case she's able to use them to listen in on what you say. But she'd still know where you are. If that's what the badges are. Trackers, I mean. And that would really not be good if she were able to track us to the secret room.

I'm going to write on the galleons that no one should ever wear a badge up there again.

We should meet tonight, anywiz. Don't you think? So we can talk before we all go home.
