Revising tonight is useless

[alt_padma]

because DUELLING CLUB is tomorrow!

I can't wait. I don't even care if we have a quiz in Herbology or something tomorrow (and if you're reading this, Professor Sprout, please don't take that as a hint).

It doesn't even matter that Troy and Capper told me to go somewhere besides Ravenclaw Corner tonight, and that Morag wasn't around when Belinda and Linus and I went looking for her. We're back in the common room now, planning out all the spells we can think of. Moon says it's sort of like chess, but faster and you need to know ahead of time what can counter what.

It's going to to be so utterly nift. I wonder what Professor Lockhart will wear? I bet he looks especially dashing!


(Oh, and did anyone else read Fawcett's entry where she says she's looking for more charms to replace the ones she bought earlier? She's sure someone will get attacked before the end of the term - I mean, honestly, how ridiculous. I think it was just a horrid joke and whoever it was is too busy revising now to go to any more trouble.)

It's going to be totally wizard!

Yeah, I saw what Fawcett wrote. People are just mad about all these charms and talismans and tokens and whatnots. I wouldn't waste the knuts.

Well, I mean, only 'enemies of the Heir' need to worry, anyway, right? And you and Marvolo are sort of mates, so I guess you don't have to worry. But Fawcett... well, I mean, with what happened last year I guess she can't be too careful, can she?

Still, I think those talismans are rubbish. Even if anyone was going to get attacked again, which they're not.

Very sensible of you, Ronald.

I wish more of the students, particularly the younger ones, felt the same.

I'm glad to see you're being sensible about yesterday, Patil. Time's getting tight and some of us are really feeling the need to tuck into revising in the most serious way--Capper and Troy especially, you know, because their places in the standings aren't as secure as they'd like.

While it's true that you were a bit over-excited yesterday about this duelling business, they were wrong to send you off like that. I've spoken with both of them now, and we want you to know that you're still welcome in Ravenclaw corner.
