Is everyone else

[alt_padma]

having as much trouble concentrating in lessons as I am? Only it seems like things that are normally terribly interesting, like switching spells and cheering charms and the theory of relative tonality just aren't nearly as fun to think about as the ball.

I've been practising the charms to do up my hair the way I want for next week. Edgecombe, I think I overheard you and Chang in the girls' bathroom this afternoon. It was you two, wasn't it? I wouldn't ask except I thought I heard her say that she thought her eyes were getting puffy from all the crying and I have some of that creme that you borrowed last year after Carmichael. I've also got plenty of clips, if you or she wanted to borrow anything.

I don't think I've ever wanted lessons to be over and done for the term before! I'm sure I'm going to utterly fail every test, I just can't think. Does anyone else need extra revising?

Oh, and CCF, don't forget that we've a meeting this evening, after dinner!

He asked Karo Moon, so that neither of them would be without a partner but neither of them had to worry about it being a real date.

Harry, she didn't know she could say no. Don't you understand? She doesn't blame you or anything. She's just upset because you're not Cedric.

It's too late now, anyway.

No, it isn't. I'll just tell her she can go with Cedric if she'd rather. It's what they both want anyways.

And I'll just take someone else.

There are still people who haven't been asked.

You could ask Parvati. She's supposed to go with Cormac McLaggan but ever since she said yes he's been acting really creepy.

If you asked her she'd have to tell him there's been a change.

I don't want her to have to tell someone something.

I don't want anyone to have to go just because I ask.

Look, now you're just being disagreeable.

She'd actually really like it if someone gave her the opportunity to ditch him. I told her not to accept in the first place but she's self-conscious about her nose and so she thought maybe no one else would ask and it all got very dramatic and it didn't have to be.

So you'd actually be doing her a favour, dummy. And you'll be doing Cho and Cedric a favour, too.

The only one you won't be doing a favour is Karo Moon but that's okay I don't think she'll mind. Tamblyn says he's pretty sure Baddock's going to surprise her, anyway, by showing up.

Oh, and McLaggen, of course. But he's a git.

Fine. Whatever.

If Cho says that's what she wants, I'll ask Parvati.
