Remember, we're meeting TONIGHT.

I think we'll be going over the lesson from this week and also talking about one of the books Mr Rosier gave us. It's called The Hidden Realm: Wizards and Witches in the late 18th Century and it's all about how there was a ... shadow court ... where witches and wizards could come when they escaped from the Revolution in France.

It's in the third classroom on the Charms corridor.


By the way, Weasley's question reminded me that Finnigan and I will read out the relevant parts of the book. You don't have to have a copy or have read it.

Well, Frennie duMaurier says he's coming and he knows all about the French Revolution. I guess for French wizards it's about as important as all the Goblin Rebellions are here. And the Lord Protector's rise, of course.

Have you met him before? He's got the cutest accent! duMaurier, I mean, not the Lord Protector, ha-ha.

I haven't met Frennie. Is he in Ravenclaw?

[alt_padma]

Yes, he's a firstie. His parents actually moved here from France just so he could go to Hogwarts - I mean, so they could be in an all-wizard country, you know.

I wonder if Malfoy met him while he was in France? I guess his parents interviewed with Mr Malfoy and some other Ministry people to be allowed to move in to the Protectorate.

Oh, he's one of those? That's nift. Does he have any brothers or sisters?

I don't think so. If he does, he hasn't mentioned it. And he must be the oldest, because they just moved and he said they jumped at the chance to go before he started proper school. Before this he had tutors and stuff.
