Everything all right?

Hey, I just remembered: Martinez has a wireless. Do you want me to see if we can borrow it for the afternoon?


That's today, right?

I brought my homework but I'm having a hard time concentrating on it.

Do you want company? I mean...I dunno if Professor McGonagall is there, or if she'd appreciate it if we talked when she's working, but then, she's sort of religious, isn't she? So I don't know if maybe she has Easter things to do.

But I could come up and sit with you. Or would you rather be distracted?

I did read about that mudblood. I guess they said the camps are all encouraged to deal with things their own way. I don't know why anyone would want to try wandless magic anyway - I mean, it's obviously daft. If it were so simple to do it, why would wizards use wands in the first place?

What are you listening for, exactly, anyway? I mean, I know you said, when we talked about your Boggart, that you're worried about the muggles trying to start a rebellion on Easter, and that they'd blame your family if it happened. But I guess I'm not sure how that'd be your family's fault.

I'd like company. Except I'm afraid the Headmistress would decide I didn't need to listen anymore and send us out. She's been out part of the time but not the whole time.

Wandless magic does sound daft. It sounded from the article like nothing actually happened when he tried it, other than him getting killed by the guard. I suppose it was a good thing the guard did kill him, because if a mudblood was daft enough to try to do magic (even if it didn't work) who knows what else they'll try? I wonder how he even found out about it, though, I thought it was just mudbloods in service (like Marvolo's) who had diaries.

I'm specifically listening to hear if the muggles try to do anything in England. They cause trouble in Ireland all the time. It's my family fault because they're the ones in charge -- no one on the Council really wants to live over in Ireland, especially when the muggles make so much trouble. And they don't care that much what happens in Ireland. But if anything happens over HERE, you know, in England or Scotland (or Wales or Cornwall) that would be really horrible. My family's supposed to be keeping them in check. The muggles, I mean.
