Holiday!

[alt_padma]

Well, it's official.

Professor McGonagall announced at supper last night that even though today's the last day of lessons until after the holiday, we won't be able to go home for a visit.

The Hogwarts Express isn't even going to run. Bobolis says he doesn't think the Express has ever not run for two holidays in a row. I guess the Magical Transportation department decided it was a waste of time for everyone when no one was going to be on it tonight.

But that definitely means we're ON for Saturday's YPL meeting and then the music party after supper. Chang, Bobolis and Tamblyn said they're working on a little skit they want to do, just a silly little thing, which should be really funny. And I asked Karoline Moon if she'd give us a taster of the panto she's writing for next year, which ought to be especially good, she's ever so clever at that sort of thing.

Marvolo, you're serious about coming, yeah? Because you and Malfoy have made yourselves ever so scarce lately, it's really rather odd. I should think if you've been working that hard on your homework or something, you really need the celebrating!

I can't wait for lessons to end today. I mean, I love my subjects, and learning, but it's all sunny outside and it's the last day and there's a YPL meeting tomorrow and then the PARTY and it's all too much. So I wish the holiday would hurry up and start already.

Can't wait for the party! Did you really invite everyone in our year?

Well, I didn't go up the hospital wing and invite Stebbins, or Ollivander, as they're petrified, but otherwise, yes. And not just our year, all years.

Although if Weasley keeps acting like a total nutter then we might have to assign him a partner to go round and keep him on a leash. Honestly, have you any idea what he was going on about last night?

But no, really, everyone is invited. If people decide not to come, that's their choice.

Weasley's the one I was wondering about but I reckon a leash might work.

I've no idea what he was going on about! But I heard he was cross with Malfoy and Marvolo, as usual.

I'm sure he was serious, and we're not scare, we're...occupied. A lot of quidditch strategy talk, you see.

Quidditch strategy, my furry elbows.
