Revising club

[alt_padma]

The revising club is really getting to be quite the crowd. I told Belinda that she'd better get a move on if she wants to keep her place with us. For one thing, it doesn't look well for a Ravenclaw to be doing worse in most of her subjects than Hufflepuffs or Gryffindors. But for another there's only so much room at the table before it gets too hard to here everyone.

Jones, you really ought to do something about your hair if you're going to keep coming, too. Since we have to revise somewhere outside our common rooms. Lav, why don't you and Parvati bring a few ribbons tonight and we'll see what we can do to make her more presentable? You are coming tonight, right? We've got that essay Binns just set us and no reason to put it off.

Oh, and Jones, did you want to borrow that extra pair of gloves for Astronomy tomorrow night? I've got a pair Mum sent that have the fingers out, so I can still work the telescope, but you could borrow my other pair. If you want.

(Lav, did Professor Lockhart tell your class what he told ours? About how it was a shame we didn't do Christmas pantomimes? I bet he'd have been perfectly wonderful in them!)

He did! He told us all about a panto he was in when he was at school, and how he had to get rid of a doxy infestation so that the show could go On, even though he was only a second-year.

He sounded quite Heroic! If he hadn't become a hunter of Dark creatures, I think he would have been amazing in the Theatre.

Oh, but if he hadn't started hunting dark creatures, think how many people would have been hurt!

Have you picked something to write your essay about?

About my hair? But I You're right, it's so boring. Perhaps I could charm it lighter. Like Lavender's. Her hair is so pretty. If I was really careful not to do anything wrong. It could work.

Oh, don't fuss, Jones. The colour is alright, I think (though you could do with a few hilights), but the style is all wrong. Those two plaits make you look quite babyish. We'll fix you up.

How about Teusday next - we could leave off revising and do your colours and try a few charms from the latest Witch Weekly?

[alt_megan]

They do Oh. You're right. That would be ever so much better.

Okay. Thank you. It's awfully nice of you. And it'll be fun! To see what my hair looks like not in plaits. My guardian always made me do it like this. But I shouldn't have to while I'm at school. And some of the charms from Witch Weekly are brilliant. They really are.

I think down and loose would be quite fetching, but then if we pulled it up in a twist, that would make you look very meture indeed.

Parkinson's interested too and we promised her a while ago so we'll do both of you Tuseday, alright?

[alt_megan]

Ooooh. Do you think so? I just pulled my hair out of its plaits and tried to twist it, and I think it looked really good. But I know I can't do it half as good as you can.

With Pansy? Ooooh, okay.
