going to Diagon Alley today

[alt_sally_anne]

Probably everyone else has their books already so I won't see anyone -- well, until Wednesday, anyway. We're buying books and the other things on the list. It's just going to be me and Jeremy, Mrs Stretton has a meeting at Gringott's, I think she wants to find out what the goblins think of the idea of authorising people through the journals to move money around the vaults.

I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good

[alt_sally_anne]

Mrs Stretton just gave us each some money to buy the books and things on our lists -- the required supplies from the Ministry this year said how much each thing cost, so she added up and that's how much she gave me.

Only, I looked around and found used copies of about half my books, so I had some left over. I was afraid Mrs Stretton wouldn't let me keep it so I spent it all right away, mostly on books, I found a good one on elementary transfiguration that might help me tutor Neville plus I got that book Finnigan has been going on about, except I bought the one that's for Slytherins. The one on Dark Arts.

I don't know if I told everyone, I did get in to Dark Arts.

I figured you would!

I know already that I'm going to HATE that class without you in it with me.

I'm pretty sure I'd be just awful at it, you know.

I must admit to being curious about what all you'll be learning, and I'll bet some of it will be just dead cool.

You got into Dark Arts?

Blimey.

It was ever so nice of you to spend your extra money on a book to help me. I'll be grateful for the Transfiguration tutoring, thanks.

I just wish I could drop that subject. I'm afraid Professor Carrow's going to be a nightmare this year. More than he usually is, I mean.

Well, I suppose I wouldn't mind what he does to me so much as long as he leaves Evelyn alone. But I bet he won't.

I hadn't even thought about how he's going to treat your sister.

I think he's a tiny bit less awful to girls he dislikes than boys he dislikes, if that helps at all.

Which House do you think she'll be Sorted into?

Well, I admit I hope it's Gryffindor. But she's not at all sure whether she'd rather be in Gryffindor or Hufflepuff.

I think she'd be happier if she ended up in Gryffindor. At least then we'd be together, which would be good especially if it turns out to be a hard year. But I don't like to say anything to her in case she ends up somewhere else. Don't want her to think I'm disappointed in her or anything.
