Weekend

[alt_padma]

Well.

I think I accidentally warned Xi Chang when Preece was about to hex him. And I definitely hexed Page - he was just sitting in the common room last night after supper, and I came in with my wand drawn in case - but he got really cross and said Bones or Jones or someone had already hexed him (and so did some other people I think, it was hard to understand him because he got really shrill).

I managed to come up on Vaisey (my first target) on the way back from the party Friday - but then I couldn't get at my next target until this morning. But when I followed the person to cast my hex, I heard someone say the charm behind me! And I thought I was surely going to have blue ears. But I turned round and hexed the person behind me, anyway. And it was Marvolo!

I was so embarrassed I went straight back to the common room after that. But then - Lav, Parvati, you'll never guess! - Xi Chang came over and thanked me for squeaking when I saw Preece leveling his wand at him. I guess the Weasley twins caught him later, anyway, but he said that at least he knew who his allies were. I'm not sure what that meant

I'm not sure who's left still playing. But I still have the same person on my parchment.

That's so...Wow! Xi actually thanked you. That's brilliant! Maybe I should have pla

[alt_padma]

I know! And its not even as if I did it dil on purpose - I just saw Preece and the noise came out! Not that I said that to Xi, of course.

This game isnt so bad but it would be easier if you had a few mates working together, I can see that. Next time you and Parvati should join.

That was very suave of you Padma, to let him think you did it on Purpose!

I'm still not sure if it's really Ladylike to run around hexing people in corridors though but if it got you close to your cru.

Well, Morgan le Fay and Morgause and even Parvati (the real one, I mean, not our Parvati) were all Ladies and they certainly hexed people! Even Rowena Ravenclaw practised duelling. So I think its ok.

Haven't you ever meant my Aunt? Ladies hex people all the time. Even my Mother does, and she's very ladylike.

Your friend Loz has some funny ideas.

[alt_padma]

No, I mean, I know who your aunt is and that she's an Auror and all, but Lavender means someone like a princess or the very high-born nobles from stories.

And theres a difference between casting hexes like any witch ought and skulking about to ambush poeple which is a decidedly underhanded thing to do. (As is pretending to be injured, even if its not against the rules!)

[alt_draco]

Loz thinks she's a princess?

If you're a hit-wizard you're supposed to be underhanded. It's not the same as walking up to someone and challenging them to a duel.

[alt_padma]

I didnt say that. Did I say that? Thats not what I meant, anyway. Your mixing me all up, Malfoy!

[alt_draco]

Maybe I'll make Loz a crown so she can keep up her silly notions.

[alt_padma]

Oh ha-ha.

Make one if you like but be careful - Lavender's liable to want to Kiss you if you do that!

(But only to see if your really a toad in disguise.)

[alt_draco]

She would?!? What? I thought it was toads who turned into princes and not vice-versa? Those kind of stories are silly anyway.

[alt_padma]

Yes but someone with your charms could only ever possibly be a toad.

Criminey, what jumped up your skirt?
