I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good

Well Hogsmeade was a blast and a half, I thought. Pansy do you think maybe we can go shopping in London sometime on holiday? Because wandering around shops with you was SO MUCH FUN and New London's much bigger than Hogsmeade.

I found some nift yarn, it sort of shifts around colours and glitters when the light is right, I'm going to try knitting with it. And I got sugar quills and chocolate frogs and some other sweets.

Ron and Nev, what were you lot talking to Finnigan and Thomas about when we came into Three Broomsticks? I hope you appreciated the way they cleared out all of a sudden and made space for us. It's a dead useful spell, it's not even technically a HEX, can you guess what we used?

I'm just saying!

Perhaps Finnestink and Thomarse should go to Ravenclaw, they enjoy sucking up to Patil so very much.

They all totally deserve one another, too. It's too bad her parents will make her get married to some random Paki when she's done with school, otherwise they could fight over her.

I hope he's old and wrinkly. The Paki, I mean.

[alt_ron]

Yeah, it'd serve her right if her parents make her marry some old codger who just wants her to take care of him all the time. She'd be terrible at that.

[alt_sally_anne]

She really would.

Then again an old codger who'd want to marry an eighteen-year-old girl would well deserve someone like Patil, don't you think? They'd be a good fit.

[alt_ron]

Ugh.

That's just

yeah, I guess it would serve them both right.

It's not like they get brilliant marks, either of them, y'know. Thomas can't even spell. I mean, I guess it's cause he didn't go to primary, but still. I think he gets marked down for it all the time. And Finnigan. Well. He's not bad, but he's not top of anything, which, y'know, I'm not either, but that's because it doesn't make any difference whether I'm first or fifteenth in Charms, y'know. So why put all that into it? Finnigan, now. I think he'd like to do better so he could impress Malfoy and Patil and Zabini and Greengrass and all. But even when he works at it, he's not going to get top marks.

Not everyone in Ravenclaw is clever. They just have to really WISH they were clever, I think.

Well, although I don't expect the Hat would have Sorted Vince in there under any circumstances. Or Milli!

Are you trying to say here that you DO have the marks for Ravenclaw, or that you WOULDN'T be eaten alive in Slytherin?

I really can't imagine moving you anywhere, frankly, so it'll have to be Finnistink and Thomarse (ha!) to Ravenclaw so they can suck up to Patil full-time. It'll be a bit lonesome for you and Nev but I imagine you'll manage.
