Ravenclaw Corner

[alt_padma]

Is utterly NIFT.

Sandoval, thanks again ever so much for letting me come. And thank your brother for showing me that Charms text. It's going to be dead useful.

I can't believe Frobisher tried to join in! After what happened last term?! I thought Capper was going to slap him or something, and for a minute I worried Madam Pince was going to come over. But thank goodness he went away after that.

Oh, I hope you don't mind my asking, but is there any chance I might borrow that book you and Troy were using for your NEWT-level essay? Only we're learning about Swelling Draughts this year in Potions and I thought I'd take a look at the Shrinking and Engorgement theory as well, you know, get a jump on things.

I hope Bobolis doesn't think I'm some sort of thick dolt. I just didn't expect him to ask me so many questions ... about Haruman, I mean. I didn't know they knew each other! I suppose you all must have been firsties when Haruman was in his seventh year. I promised Bobolis - Leander, I mean, he said I could call him by his first name - I promised him I'd Owl Haruman and tell him to get back in touch.

Oh, Perks, that does sound interesting about Muggle Studies. We haven't had our lesson with Professor Carrow yet. Professor Alecto Carrow, I mean. We've had one Transfiguration lesson already.

And remember, Parvati and I have robe pets, if anyone wants them! I know they're sort of expensive - I mean, two sickles is a lot of pocket money for some people - but they really do last longer if you play with them regularly.

We're glad to have you, Patil, but don't encourage Bobolis. He can be a chatterer. Oh, and I've had words with Frobisher, so that shouldn't cause any further trouble. No need for you to worry about it, at any rate.

As for the book, as soon as Troy's finished with it, I'm sure you'd be welcome to have it for as long as you need it. Let one of us know if you've got questions about any of the theory. It may be a stretch, but I feel sure you're up to the challenge.

[alt_padma]

Oh, I hope we weren't too loud. Bobolis and me, I mean. I didn't know how much he talked, I think that's the longest conversation we've ever had! But I'll remember not to let him go on so.

And I'm not worried about Frobisher, not at all! I was sure you'd sort it out. But I just thought it was awfully cheeky of him, to think he could come and sit with you after everything.


Oh, I meant to tell you, I think I've got everyone from our year in Ravenclaw signed on the pledge. Has Corner done it yet? I thought he had but I can't seem to find the note I wrote about who had and who hadn't. Linus had forgot, but he promises he'll be round this evening in the common room.

[alt_lana]

Yes, well. That's Frobisher through and through. Calderwood won't make a spectacle of himself like that, and Stretton's never been one of our lot. I don't know. I think Frobisher's rather gone off the rails. He told me he might not sign the oath if I wouldn't include him, but I happen to know he's already put his name to it. It's a bit sad, really. I'm surprised he's here at all, this year.

In any case, I'm planning to be in the Common Room all evening to chase down any stragglers. Honestly, Slytherin was finished by breakfast; if we don't manage it by bedtime, I'll be disappointed.

Hello.
What's a robe pet?

From,
Hydra

[alt_padma]

It's a spell in the shape of an animal. You put it on your robes and they run round on them, or ride on your shoulder or whatever. And if you play with them and pet them, they can last weeks and weeks.

[alt_hydra]

Oh, that sounds lovely.
Is there a pink rabbit robe pet?
Or just an ordinary coloured rabbit?

From,
Hydra

[alt_padma]

There's a rabbit. It's white but I'm sure I can find a charm to turn it pink.

I think pink rabbits would be nift.

[alt_hydra]

I think so, too.
Only I don't think I have two sickles.
But I can start saving my pocket money until I have two sickles.

From,
Hydra

[alt_draco]

Why wouldn't you have two sickles? That's hardly anything.

[alt_hydra]

I don't know but I don't have them.

From,
Hydra

[alt_draco]

Well nevermind that, I'll buy your rabbit pet. See me at lunch and I'll give you the money.

[alt_hydra]

Thank you, Draco!
Will you buy a robe pet for yourself too?

From,
Hydra

[alt_draco]

No, I'd forget to pet it and it wouldn't last.

[alt_padma]

Don't your parents give you pocket money?

[alt_hydra]

Sometimes, but mostly if I need something they will buy it.
I don't know if they think I need a robe pet.

From,
Hydra

[alt_padma]

Pocket money isn't for things you need. It's for things you want.

It's smashing of Draco to buy it for you, though.

[alt_hydra]

Isn't it good of him?
Sometimes my Daddy sneaks me pocket money.

From,
Hydra

[alt_sally_anne]

Do you have any pink paper, Hydra?

[alt_hydra]

No, sorry but I don't.

From,
Hydra

[alt_sally_anne]

Well -- I can show you with plain paper if you find me in the common room later, I have plenty of that.

[alt_daphne]

Agreed!

How some claim Malfoy is unkind, I'll never know.
