I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good

Neville I thought you would like to know that Ron, Pansy and I all thought of you today. Our instructors here had assigned us some reading last night on new defensive and offensive spells we might work on and then today we got to do some practise duels. There was this one spell that looked really nift; if you cast it properly it would reflect a lot of hexes BACK on your opponent. Brilliant, right? Well thanks to you (and Pansy and that mishap with the blue scales) we all checked the FOOTNOTES.

The problem with that spell is that if you cast it with any other defensive spells you have to do it in exactly the right order or you'll break out in boils. Green boils. It's horrifying! Of course they had healers here but even though they'd heal the people with boils, they DIDN'T tell them what they'd done wrong. So some of them did it again.

None of us missed it and when we got quizzed at the end of the day we said we'd paid attention to the FOOTNOTE that warned about that affect and we got praised for our attention to detail.

Anyway.

I'm sorry you couldn't come. Most of the week wasn't all that much fun honestly but if today's any example we'll be learning some really interesting things in August.

You're coming to Ron's next week right? We can teach you the reflection spell and the other nift spells we learned today.
