Still cross about not making the side? Only you've not been your usual. You were really quiet at the Prefects' meeting.

Here's something to cheer you up: Why do you suppose Cho Chang was binning a perfectly nice bouquet of flowers just after lunch today?

Three guesses.

First two don't count.

And in other news, I heard that Letchley didn't make it into first string for Slytherin, either. And Anne says she's grounded for about four weeks because of that collision with Smith and Stebbins. (She said she'd like to have hexed them both.)

So maybe it's not such a wonderful season to be playing, anyway. With your luck, Stebbins would knock you off your broom at 100 feet up.

Oh.

And Black was one of Dolohov's students, once?

Ugh.

Well, you'll impress him the same way you impress all your teachers. By being brilliant. It'll be fine.

I think he must have been. Professor Dolohov worked with so many people in the Council and he's such good mates with people like the Malfoys and Professor Raz. I can't imagine that he didn't teach Regulus too. And there was the way he reacted when I started talking about it.

I'm not going to keep reminding him, though, believe me.

I still don't really see why everyone liked him so much

Anyway. You'll be fine, too. With OWLs, I mean.

I'm not worried. (Much.) I'm pretty sure I'll pass, but I want to do better than just PASSING, you know?
