Burrow and Tamblyn were in the Corner this afternoon. They said that it's a pity Weasley wasn't still sicking up slugs, as there are many advanced potions that call for squashed slugs in some form or other. Of course, we're not doing those potions yet.
They also said that they're trying to get some Nimbus 2001's for the Ravenclaw side, but they don't think they can convince Professor Vector to requisition them. Still, they asked Johns to help put together a mathematical proof of how the broom's performance factors into Quidditch play.
Anyway, Capper looked over my Muggle Studies essay, since she's taking it at NEWT level, and said it's quite good. She pointed out a book of some of the sayings Muggles used to have, and how ridiculous they are. Like "Do not be in a hurry to tie what you cannot untie," and "Never draw your dirk when a blow will do it." When everyone knows that a simple Gordian charm will untie any knot, and there are plenty of hexes and jinxes that will take care of anyone without having to resort to either hitting or knives. Muggles are such animals.
