Private Message to Draco Malfoy and Seamus Finnigan

[alt_padma]

Malfoy, you know how you were saying a while ago that there's more to Longbum than meets the eye?

Did you read this morning's Prophet?

Finnigan, better watch your back. 'Auror Longbottom' might just decide to use the Cardinal Curses on you if you don't treat him with respect!

Have you ever had any clue he might actually know which way to point a wand? I mean, when you were practising defence, before?

The papers seem to think it's remarkable, anyway.

What did you make of that last puzzle game? The one where everyone's whole team had to reach the top of that column without brooms?

I saw that some of the Hufflepuffs were trying to levitate each other up there.

Did yours have a loose brick, too, though? Ours did. We cast a banishing spell on it and the whole tower collapsed, so we could all touch the top. And the examiners said that was good enough.

How did your lot solve it?

Ha, trust the Hufflepuffs to think it's easier and more sensible to move a whole group of people up in the air than it is to just knock some mortar down. They never said the column had to stay upright, did they!

We used blasting spells on the mortar until the top of the tower was crumbled at our feet. Wasn't much more than dust and chunks by then, but the examiners said it was a fine job.
