Is anyone else going to

[alt_padma]

be a counsellor for New London again?

I got an owl yesterday asking me to do it.

I still haven't heard about continuing CCF. Has anyone else?

And I hope everyone's selected their N.E.W.T.-level courses. I've been talking to some of Ravenclaw Corner about the textbooks and I think I'm going to spend my New London free time going to the bookshops to get ahead on the reading, assuming the books haven't been changed. But then there are a load of books I'd like time to read just for pleasure, too, and I don't know if I'll have time.

It's really summer, now. I hope you're all having a nift holiday.

So are you going to? Be a counsellor, I mean. Maybe you should tell them you'll only do it if you get to go with the good group, they put you with the losers last year.

I know. I think maybe now that I came in first in the O.W.L. results--and Professor Siz isn't in charge anymore--it'll be back to normal. You know she always played favourites.

Re: Private message to Padma

Yeah, she was not exactly subtle about it.

Shouldn't they be recruiting some new students to supervise those trips, anyway?

Re: Private message to Padma

[alt_padma]

Oh, I'm sure they are but there's always a couple older students, too.

Well, I think I'll do it, anyway. I don't want someone saying I wasn't a team player, after all.

What are you going to do with your summer? Loads of tutors?

Re: Private message to Padma

Arithmancy and Dark Noble Arts. I might get to fly occasionally if I've been working hard.

I can have you over anytime, at least, so I hope you'd like to come over a lot.

Re: Private message to Padma

I'll probably come over as much as possible.

Pav's going to start working with Mum right away. And the Aunts are still trying to match her up with a suitable husband.

So the less I'm around all that, the better.

We have a lovely guest suite if you want to bring your tooth brush!

Your parents might get entirely the wrong idea about that, though.

What does Parvati think about getting married?

Re: Private message to Padma

[alt_padma]

She's against it, of course! But Mum says she should've thought of that before she took her O.W.L.s.

Anyway, I don't mind if they get the wrong idea. It's probably better that way, in some ways.

At least you won't mind if I go and spend time with Zabini now and then!

So is he an actual boyfriend or just someone you're snogging?

Re: Private message to Padma

[alt_padma]

We do more than just snog. But I don't think he's really what I'd call 'boyfriend' material.

How about Remy, are you considering him a boyfriend at present?
