New Quill

[alt_padma]

I've been having trubble with the first quill Professor Vector gave me. Today when I was riting something to Parkinson it went all wonky and I tried sharpening it, but then it split. So I cut it higher and than I didnt have enough quill left to rite wtih.

So I had to go get another quill from Professor Vector. She wasnt two happy but she gave it to me.

Parvati and Lavender and I were planning to spend the day looking thru Professor Lockhart's books so we cuold ask him to tell one of his storys in Defence this week. (I would ask in my lesson and Parvati and Lavender would ask in theres.)  But then MacMillan posted and I dunno, the whole day just semed to go relly quick.

Maybe Professor Lockhart would run that chess tournament thingy that Perks mentioned? He's so handsome I hope Michael enters, if Perks gets it going. Maybe Draco would have more luck, tho.

Lavender thinks Parkinson is relly wierd, but then, she knows the Malfoys a little better than Parvati and me. Lavender's mum is working on a party with Mrs Malfoy and its to be at Kensington and ever so grand. I think my parents are going, too. I wonder what Mum's going to wear?

Okay I think this quill works alright now.

It doesn't matter about luck, I'm not going to play chess tournament. And I don't know what Brown's been telling you but she hardley knows my family at all, she just wishes she did.

[alt_padma]

I just mean you'd have more luck organising it than Perks. You dont have to play if you dont want too.

Well, Mrs Brown's been to your house, at least, Lavender says. And

[alt_padma]

Sorry, I had to put my journal away quickly. Profesor Acton was watching.

Anyway, I was saying, Mrs Brown thinks vary highly of your mum. And I thought Lavender said she came to a brithday party once. Maybe it was for Harry Marvolo and not for you. But she said it was at your house, anyway.

It was a while ago, though. When you were little.

[alt_draco]

I remember Lavender being at a party. She giggles a lot. My Mother knows a lot of people, though.

Sally Anne wants to organise it so it should be her, and I think she's probably already started on it.

[alt_padma]

Well, my mum and your dad are on a comittee together, too, but they meet at the Ministry, not your house.

And I guess it's alright if Perks runs the turnament, its just I think more poeple might be interested if a pureblood was in charge.

[alt_draco]

I know that, I've heard Father mention your family's name before.

Maybe, but she'd do a better job than me, anyway. I'm not so fussed about chess right now.

[alt_padma]

No, I ecspect not.

Do you think your dad will send Parkinson to a Muggle camp?

[alt_draco]

I doubt it.

[alt_padma]

Pity.

She's always been wierd but onestly.

Mum says your dad can be quite tariff terif terrifying when he's angry, tho. So d'you think if he was cross enough?

my Dad can get cross, but its usually to do with the wireless.

[alt_draco]

You ask a lot of questions about my parents.

[alt_padma]

I'm curius about Parkinson.

Besides you're parent's are very important, arent they? Your mum's in Witch Weekly alot and your dad's always in hte papers.

So I dont mean to pri, its just I dont know any one else whose famous.

[alt_draco]

I don't know what will happen to Pansy, it depends on her behaviour after today. She hasn't been punished that bad so far, if you ask me.

I guess they are pretty important, there in charge of lots of things. The Lord Protector put them in charge I mean.

I'm not good enough at chess to try to play for Ravenclaw in whatever tournament.

[alt_padma]

Oh, but you were doing OK against me a cupple nights ago.

Someones' got to show them that Ravenclaws are just as good as certain other people. Even better.

Are you going to the Quidich Quip Quidditch match next weekend? We should support the house, I think.

[alt_michael]

You were doing better than me. I'm not really good at chess, seriously.

And yes, we probably should go out and support the team.

[alt_sally_anne]

Oh come on, Michael, EVERYONE in our year except Ron seems to think they're not good enough to play in a tourney.

[alt_michael]

In my case I really aren't good enough, though.

[alt_harry]

Hey I said I wasn't good enough to win a turney, not that I wouldnt play. I'll play, I'll just not do too well. But if no one minds me shaming Slytherin I'll play.

[alt_sally_anne]

Either that or they just don't much like chess, like Draco.
