We got owls

about the CCF.

I was accepted! But Parvati wasn't.

I don't think she's too upset, except that we won't be together for the whole summer.

The letter says I have to report on the 4th - is that what they told everyone? Or are we split up into groups like last summer?

Who else made it?

I'm in. And my letter says the same thing about the 4th.

Did you notice that's just a week, though? I thought we were supposed to spend three weeks, training and such.

Mine says the 4th.

Shame about Parvati, then.

Private Message to Padma Patil

Padma -

First off, I was hoping we would both get in!!! I'm sorry about Parvati, though, and I hope she's not too upset. It's just one youth programme, after all, and she's really clever, she'll have lots of opportunities.

I actually wanted to talk about why I got in. I think it was that test with the Cardinals. Even though I studied I was utter crap at duelling and the physical tests, you remember, and those were the ones where they seemed to pay most attention. But then it seemed like they were letting more things go after I ... with the ... I was thinking about Crabbe and Goyle, you see, and those sixth-formers who just won't let up, and it just happened.

I can't tell Mum. Or Dad. I can't concentrate on my lessons. And I feel awful even petting Miss Precious, knowing I can do that to something. I know the Heroes use them for heroic work, but it's only when it's really necessary, and I don't think it was necessary when I did it. Does that make me a bad person?

Well, you know I didn't!

I got in, too! And I called Blaise up on the fire right away and he's been accepted as well, of course.

I really want to hear from Sally Anne and Pansy, to see if what they said about one of us not making it was really true or not. Though it's certainly not true in the case of the boys, because Blaise is in and Harry and Draco surely are, too.

Well, Parvati and I will have a lot of shopping to do since I didn't get in either!

It won't be the same without you, though.

But I'm glad you got in and are going to go off and learn a load of really nift things!
