I'm really glad that we don't

have Arithmancy until tomorrow. I heard that Professor Vector's still in a strop about Edgecombe's essay being all in glittery pink. (To hear Edgecombe tell it, she doesn't know what possessed her--it's not even proper ink, it's more like a special drafting paint she bought for drawing. There's a charm to make it give off a moonglow in the dark, too.)

Anyway, I thought I'd just remind anyone who might not remember: Black is the only acceptable ink for narrative. Colours are for calculations. (I'll leave what Professor Vector thinks of sparkles or glow-in-the-dark paints to the imagination. Really, it's better that way.) (First-years, that doesn't apply to Potions formulae. The advanced rules there are completely different, as I'm sure Professor Slughorn would be happy to point out.)


While I'm on the subject of reminders: Please make sure you've got all your books and all your supplies for lessons throughout the day. Third-years, you ought to know by now that you've not enough time to go running all the way back to your dormitories between lessons.


And please remember that if you're coming back to the castle from Herbology or Care of Magical Creatures or any other activity that requires you to go outside, you can perform a very simple cleaning charm on your shoes and robe hems before you come inside.


Finally, it should go without saying but NO MAGIC in the corridors. That means no hexing, no jinxing, no curses, no spells of any kind. (Particularly not the kind that might be aimed at a fellow student!) (And don't think you can just blame everything on Peeves, either.)

Yeah, that one was naff. I don't know who he thought he was fooling.

Lines wants to know if we've noticed that Lestrange is distracted. I told him how beyond inattentive F-F was this afternoon, you know? I mean, when you're more in touch with the revisions than he is, we're in trouble. No offence, just he's usually much more, I dunno, prepared.

Anyway, I think it's because he got caught. He'd have been easy pickings for anyone in Slytherin, from what I hear. And if he got caught and he and Hydra aren't supposed to be together, on account of Marvolo.... Do you think they'd elope? I mean, I can't imagine Lestrange running away from the competition but if they up and married, it's not like He would disqualify her, you know? I think she can Malfoy could almost do whatever they liked and they'd still be in the top ranks.

Well, I'd say F-F has a lot more to worry about than Hydra does. I heard Moebius Ollivander had his bits removed and kept in a jar until he was done with school. After he messed with Marvolo's Granger, you know? Anyway, if F-F crosses the Lestranges I'll be surprised if they're in any shape to be put back on, you know?

Apparently he likes to live dangerously.
