Happy Valentine's

[alt_padma]

Again!

It's always really nift to see all the cards and everyone giving each other presents. Thanks to everyone who sent something to me and I hope you all liked yours, too. I sort of love that in the middle of winter we've got an excuse to exchange tokens again, like Christmas but for everyone and even better because February really is so unending, isn't it?

It's also fun to watch everyone turning into lovebirds. It was impossible not to notice at least one or two deliveries to Slytherin table. Daphne, how did you manage that gigantic bear? I don't know if you had the heart to shrink it down into your bag!

(Summers, I don't think Midgen quite got your message, though. Could you shout at her a little louder for us at tomorrow's breakfast? At least you've saved the rest of us the trouble of thinking you might be worth our consideration.)

And Brocklehurst, word to the wise: Even if he were capable of reciprocating, really, would you want him to do? Honestly. Think about it.

Oh, and this week's Dish! has full coverage of the opening ceremonies at the Frost Faire. The pictures are amazing! Watching that bridge form over the river--I just keep staring at the photo. It must have been breathtaking in real life.

Well, if anyone wants to see, I'll have it in History Club tomorrow, too.

Oh, I had to lighten the bear and run it down to our room before class began. He was wearing a pendant, too, did you see?

So what exactly happened with Midgen and Summers? It must've been when I'd run off with the bear, but from what I've heard he shouted something about how he didn't fancy her, and that she'd better leave off, or else?

[alt_padma]

No, I didn't see! What sort of pendant? Was it from Bole or has Mr Crouch finally come to his senses and realised he wanted you all along? Haha!

Lares gave me a perfectly lovely comb set, chocolates and the sweetest card.

Summers was utterly horrid. I mean, okay, it's Midgen, and we all know how vexing she can be. But he just...sort of...blew up at her. I couldn't hear all of it because it was echoing, but he called her a blundering cow and worse. She sort of started to laugh and then it hit her that the whole Hall were staring at them and then she ran out.

I mean, it's Midgen and we all know she can give Moaning Myrtle a run for the money but it really was rather shocking.

Oh, Auror Crouch I forgot to - that is, of course it's from Barney. A heart carved out of jet and strung on a silver chain. The most fetching thing, really!

John Summers is usually very pleasant and passive, isn't he? I mean, from what Smith says he was more or less unable to say no to her when she asked him to the Ball... I suppose he'd finally had enough of being linked up with someone like her, then? Still, that's a very cruel thing to do to Eloise. She has feelings just like anyone else, after all.

Pav and I had loads of fun organising the card-making party!

Lots of people came, too.

[alt_padma]

She said! Maybe next year we should do it in the Hall so everyone can participate.

[alt_lavender]

That's a really good idea! We might run out of supplies, though.


Well, maybe it would be an opportunity to practise our Transfig, too--leaves into paper and that sort of thing.

[alt_padma]

Oh, that's brill! And just the sort of thing that gets noticed, too.

Private Message to Lav

[alt_padma]

Did you see Draco spoke to Seamus this morning? I'm so relieved!

Re: Private Message to Lav

[alt_lavender]

I didn't, but I'm glad.

It was quite uncomfortable between them for awhile, and of course that's bound to be felt.

Re: Private Message to Lav

[alt_lavender]

What are you going to do about that letter from your dad? Parvati told me all about it.

Re: Private Message to Lav

[alt_padma]

Nothing. Honestly I think Dad's not half ridiculous. He's not even paying proper attention anymore.

But the way we look at it, he told Pav not to date Tamblyn, which she's not doing. And he didn't tell me anything. So there's no need to do anything, is there?

Re: Private Message to Lav

[alt_lavender]

Ha! That's true!

But don't you think he'll catch on eventually?

Re: Private Message to Lav

[alt_padma]

He'd have to get his facts straight, first off.

Oh, I don't care. It took Dad long enough to even notice that we had Yule Ball dates or that we were dating anyone at all.

And it's not like he really cares, Lav. He just feels like he has to say something so the family won't go spare.

Re: Private Message to Lav

[alt_lavender]

I'm sorry he's being such a tosser about everything, Padma

Re: Private Message to Lav

[alt_padma]

Besides, I don't even fancy Lares that much!
