alt_padmaAnd I mainly managed to get through the day without the shudders every few minutes.
Also, I hope we may have found a way to stop whatever has been attracting these horrid SWARMS of insects. D'you know there was actually a wasp's nest forming in the upper corner of the dormitory by this afternoon? A wasp's nest.
Anyway. So, what happened was Troy came to Ravenclaw Corner this afternoon and he said that he's not having another night's sleep interrupted by 'shrieking females' because he needs his rest for the last Quidditch matches of the year and to revise for NEWTs. So while ordinarily he wouldn't see fit to put himself in the middle of a second-year's dust-up, as it's affecting everyone in the tower, he'd do us a favour this one time.
So he gave me a piece of parchment with a rune on it. He says it'll repel all the bugs. I nipped up to the dorm to set it on the shelf so it'll start working as soon as possible.
When I came back to the library he was telling Capper all about how he's been making a study of useful insects and used a variation of the rune that he gave me to protect himself from stings and such. (He was really chatting up Capper, as if studying bugs were the most fascinating thing in the world and honestly, I know he's really doing us a favour with this rune, if it works, I mean, but he could have been more of a gentleman about it all instead of making it seem like we ought to kiss his robe hems. As it was I think he wasn't half doing it because he thinks she'll be impressed.) Honestly, she already fancies you, Troy, you don't need to push at it so!
Well, anyway, thanks to Troy, we ought to have a relatively restored dormitory by the end the day. I hope. (And really, Troy, it'll be as much a relief to us as to you! And I hope after all this Ravenclaw wins the cup, or you get 12 NEWTs or something else, because you needn't be so shirty about it!)

So Sandoval's cross with me.
As if it's my fault! I can't help it if certain people are out to get me, can I?
