Diagon Alley

was Wiz-NIFT!

Professor Lockhart told Mum that Parvati and I are two of his favourite pupils! And I got to give him the samples, so he had the photographer take a picture of all of us together. And he gave Mum a signed copy of Magical Me, too!

We also got school robes (that took forever because Madam Malkin wanted to talk shop with Mum) and Sanji went to the joke shop with Dad and they got some silly cards, the spades actually dig and the hearts break and the clubs...well, you get the idea.

I guess we missed Marvolo and Malfoy, though, but I heard from Belinda that it was quite an event! The photographers went mad, she says. And Professor Lockhart gave Marvolo a complete set of books, all signed!! Well, I mean, he almost had to do, didn't he? Still, I'm sure that picture of Marvolo and Professor Lockhart with Mr Malfoy will be on the front page, don't you think?

Anyway, we've got all our quills and parchment and Parvati has a new bookbag and I've a new astrolabe, and we both got new jumpers and frocks for the weekends. And Mum says she's all set for the firsties to buy Robe Pets, too! We've got a whole box of them for the train.

See you all soon!

Too bad we didn't see you. I would have much rather that than who we did see. You know, I thought Weasley was alright after he helped us solve that lethal chess game, but he's still mostly impossible to get along with, most of the time.

Have you noticed how he's always got some sort of smudge on his face? I wonder if sometimes his parents don't send him out as a Floo sweep.

He's just not very civilised, I suppose. And after this I'd have to say his Father isn't, either, even if Pansy seems to think him nice enough.

Linus says his father says that Mr Weasley's too soft-hearted and that's why he's still stuck at the bottom of his department at the Ministry.

Did Weasley really get hit with a flying book? Linus says his nose was bleeding.

[alt_draco]

He might've. Father and Mr Weasley were trying to keep us from fighting, and they tried too hard because a load of stuff went flying.

If he did get hit, you probably didn't notice the blood because his face was already dirty, I bet.

[alt_draco]

I was sort of being dragged off by Father, so that's why I didn't notice.

Oh.

Sorry.
