History Club

[alt_padma]

Remember, History Club tonight.

I really want to compare Professor Binns' lesson from last week with what it says in Wizards of the Middle Ages - I think for once it might not be that different! Only the book is more interesting, as usual.

I wonder if we could ask Professor Sinistra whether clubs like this, that support the ideals of the Protectorate and all, could be considered credit for the YPL? Anyone else think it's worth asking?

Oh, and Parvati, will you please tell Bundy to remember her gloves for Herbology on Friday? Last week I had to feed all the mandrakes on our tray myself because she kept letting them bite her.

Credit for the YPL? You mean like so you could skive off on meetings? I thought the meetings so far have been pretty good. I mean, I don't know what they have planned for later in the year, but Aurors and Healers were pretty interesting. And the camping was wizard, so I don't really see what we'd need credit for.

No, of course not to replace the meetings, I don't think anyone would want to do that!

I mean, for extra credit. Like how some of the older kids, Sandoval says, some of them are getting special opportunities because they're exceptional, and so I thought maybe something like doing History Club or other things that, er, that supplement our schoolwork, well, they should contribute to being exceptional in the YPL. Right?

Oh. I didn't know there was extra stuff or that you'd have to get points to be able to do it.

What kind of special stuff?

Anywiz, I think we're coming tonight. Neville and me, for sure. I'm not sure where Dean's gone off to this afternoon, but I think he was planning to come along, too.

It is an interesting idea, Miss Patil. Let me consider it for a day or two (and consult, of course, with my contacts at the Ministry.) Obviously, we want to encourage your participation in such activities. At the same time, we want credit for YPL activities to come principally from YPL activities, not some other group.

Thank you, Professor. And I don't want you to think I'd ever stop coming to the YPL meetings, ever, because they're completely nift.

Maybe some of the things like History Club and stuff, maybe they could be, what's the word, sanctioned? I think that's it, Miss, so that they're not really officially official YPL activities, but they count when you're totting up everyone's contributions and their, um, their quality. That sort of thing.

And we'll keep having History Club, whether or not it counts. And coming to meetings - I wouldn't ever stop that.
