I got the word from Madam Pince

[alt_padma]

and Ravenclaw Corner is back in business.

Well, almost. There are a few changes but mostly it's back to normal.

Also, be careful where you sit. Come and talk to me or to Tamblyn if you need to know why.

Edgecombe, we're on morning shift, right? See you then.

If there's shortbread or anything, I'll put it in the little drawer in the side table in the lounge. No one ever looks in there. You're checking in the afternoon, right?

You should really think about kissing Umbridge's arse a bit more.

Oh?

I'm just saying that it's going to get more dreary round here - quickly. And you don't want to be left out in the cold.

Working for her has some definite perks. And I don't mean the one you have to take meals next to.

Re: Private Message to Zabini

What sort of perks? (And don't remind me. Meals with that know-it-all are annoying in the extreme.)

Well, for starters, not that it matters much to you but you'll notice we got Ravenclaw Corner going again. You can't say as much about certain other groups.

But this latest 'teensy project' of hers--well, it's extra work but she's got a whole group of us taking it in turns. And she's given us the most cosy little lounge to use, just those of us who are doing it. And you know how we're not to take food in our common rooms anymore, and all that? Well. I can't say much except that I think there will nearly always be some snacks and things in that lounge--one way or another.

So you should think about it. I know Daphs would put in a word for you. And I would, too. If you wanted.

I'm not against seeking favour if there are clear rewards. It sounds as if it might be worth while, so if you've an opening and a mind to put in for me, I'm interested.

You're surprising me again. How entirely pleasant.

[alt_linus]

We shall celebrate -- studiously, of course, by applying ourselves diligently.

Well done, you!

[alt_padma]

Mostly it was Madam Pince. Actually she made a point of telling me that she stuck up for the way we keep the library under control when we're there. And it's a bit more...restricted than it was before. But at least it's still our Corner.

It is still our Corner and I am so very glad of it, especially since a different Corner is being a trifle annoying at present.

Merlin's finest Sunday trousers, why do half-bloods have to bring everything back around to blood status all the time? I was offering to help, for goodness sake. If we have to have them in Ravenclaw, we need them to perform their absolute best, or no matter how well we do, we won't be able to keep the average at an acceptable level. One would think that once they were let in they would be grateful to be here and could keep the good of their House in mind.
