alt_padmaI'm glad I caught you at supper last night.
And that we talked to Bobolis and Pennifold so no one bothered about us being out on the late side.
It's weird, isn't it? I mean, what happened last year, that's the kind of thing that could have made us absolutely hate each other--well, not hate, but you know what I mean, not be able to be round one another about now. But instead it seems like no one else can really exactly understand about it. Well, anyway.
I reckon every owl in England was delivering Easter baskets to the Slytherin table this morning! Was that big basket from your mother or from Mr Malfoy? I guess it helps knowing he'll look after you, even if your mum is sort of...starting over. Or if it feels like that. I'm not so sure, though--what you said last night? I mean, parents can get sort of...wrapped up in their own lives, and forget about us up at school, but that doesn't mean they don't love us anyways. They just might not be the best at showing it.
And I think sometimes parents get embarrassed just like we do, when they get overwhelmed by stuff. Like--they're supposed to have the answers, aren't they? But if they don't, well, I think they feel, maybe not ashamed, but--well, you know how Corner gets when he knows he's got an assignment due and he hasn't really done it properly? And he's not happy with what he's got, but he just gets a block about how to fix it? So he sort of...gives up and just waffles until he has to turn in what he's got? I think parents maybe feel helpless the same way. Which is really not on, because they're parents, but I guess they're people too.
Anyway--all I wanted to say was that I'm sure your mum cares, deep down, even if she gets sorta carried away with her own projects and all.
By the way, did you mean what you said about Diggory? Only I think just about everyone thinks he's fit so he's rather got his choice, hasn't he? I don't know what you see in Baddock, but then, did you know I used to have a crush on Xi Chang? Sort of silly now, when I think about it. On the other hand, I don't blame you finding that Chadwick bloke well dashing. (Perks has it wrong, by the way, I don't know why she thought he was in 7th-year when we were firsties. He's even older than that!) I mean, it's hard enough keeping the interest of boys only a couple years older than us, and then they're like Page and want something improper. So I guess in a way it's easier to fancy someone who's completely impossible to get. But I hope next year there are some boys who manage to fall between utterly oblivious and far too interested.
