I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good

I don't know how anyone could think that Neville would need to FAKE tripping over his own feet.

Also, I don't know what I was thinking, packing my journal in my school trunk.

Neville, I'm going to wait until Draco and Harry have calmed down and then point out that you've always been a pillock, if you don't mind. I think it's probably better if Draco thinks of you as stupid and harmless, rather than a blood traitor.

Finally, I want to know what Snake-hating sadist came up with the Slytherin schedule. On Mondays I have Double Transfiguration first thing, then Defence, then Double Potions, then Dark Arts. Two hours of Carrow first thing on Monday AND I'm barely going to have time to go to the loo AND I finish the day with Alecto Carrow.

On the bright side we have a lot of classes with Gryffindors this year. Well, maybe it's not so bright; I hate to think of the sort of trouble Draco could make for Neville in Potions class. Although he really likes Potions, he wouldn't normally cause trouble there. Still.

That sounds like a plan. And I'll see if I can just get Draco talking to see what he was so worked up about. Because I haven't seen him that angry in a while. At least not over the journals.

And your Mondays sound double uck. I mean, ending with Carrow like that after such a long day and all. Maybe we'll have to come up with a "hurrah, I survived Mondays!" reward or something.

At least we get to go to Hogsmeade this year. Which will be brilliant in every possible way. Tell me the Strettons signed your form. Because it would be just like them to put it off or forget it or not sign it because they haven't signed Jeremy's.

Thanks for that. I think.

No, seriously, you'd be a lot better at calming Malfoy down than I would ever be. I don't mind getting called stupid, so long as they drop that blood-traitor stuff. (And it's even true, I suppose.)

Even if you can't manage that, I'm willing to put up with a lot, so long as they leave Evelyn mostly alone.

I have to admit, it's hard luck that Marvolo came out agreeing with Malfoy, though. And having him be on the outs with Ron doesn't exactly help either.

Why are you all concerned about how Malfoy and Marvolo are feeling? Honestly. That's the most

You're going to tell them Nev's a pillock? Tell the truth, already. Malfoy's an evil, stinking git, and Marvolo's a two-faced twat.
