Today was okay. It's Thursday, so we had the afternoon free, and I had the morning free too. Really we just had Transfiguration and Charms. I think I'm better at Charms than Transfiguration, because we've been learning to transfigure Professor McGonagall's desk into a pig and mine only ever gets a snout and sometimes a tail but it's still a desk.
I wish Quidditch wasn't over. On Saturday Ron and Ginny and Evan and I went to the pitch threw the Quaffle around and let the Snitch out but it wasn't really exciting, you know? It was fun because it was Quidditch and flying, but sometimes we just handed the Quaffle over to each other, it wasn't like a real match. It was fun though.
Hermione's going really mad about N.E.W.T.s. Which is a huge shock. We're having tea with Hagrid later so I reckon I should probably eat a really big dinner so I'm full.
I wish term wasn't almost over. It feels like it was just Christmas. It's weird how fast things go. I mean, it's weird that we're even seventh years. First year wasn't that long ago, but it must have been because it was six years. Things change too much, I think, but I guess it's good sometimes.

It may look like it's still a desk but it definitely smells like a pig. Just sayin'. You've really got the pig smell down.
| deanthomas @ 2004-05-27 11:52 pm UTC |
So he not only looked like swine, he smelled of it too?
And he's a regular muggle and not a wizard, right?
| just_harry @ 2004-05-27 11:58 pm UTC |
Well sometimes he smelt like that. That's being kind of nasty to the pig though. And yeah he's a Muggle, it's not a magic power to smell like that. That would be kind of cool though. I mean, assuming you could control when you smelt like that and when you didn't.

I thought maybe he was one of those metamorphieses, or an animagi, or something and wasn't aware of it.
Pigs are really intelligent, though, and from the stories you've told I don't think your cousin is quite up there on the pig's level.
| just_harry @ 2004-05-28 12:03 am UTC |
I think he probably just eats too much bacon and it's coming out through his pores.
(parent)| deanthomas @ 2004-05-28 12:12 am UTC |
I eat a lot of carrots, so I was wondering if it was coming out my pores.
(parent)| just_harry @ 2004-05-28 12:14 am UTC |
Well I know that. I don't think I could identify carrot smell though. Do I smell like chocolate?
(parent)| deanthomas @ 2004-05-28 12:15 am UTC |
Our whole dorm smells like chocolate. I can't tell if it's you or... all the chocolate.
(parent)| deanthomas @ 2004-05-28 12:24 am UTC |
I think it smells like that because someone left a bar of honeydukes best on the windowsill and its been baking in the sun all week.
(parent)| just_harry @ 2004-05-28 12:29 am UTC |
Oh. Well I saw that two days ago but I figured someone was saving it.
(parent)| deanthomas @ 2004-05-28 12:34 am UTC |
I saw it three days ago and figured you were saving it.
(parent)| deanthomas @ 2004-05-28 12:40 am UTC |
Because everyone who saw it there would figure you were saving it?
Also, maybe you like chocolate in a semi-solid form. To pour on ice cream and what not.
| just_harry @ 2004-05-28 12:41 am UTC |
Why does everyone think it's mine?
I hope it's Seamus's.
| just_harry @ 2004-05-28 12:46 am UTC |
Seamus is unexpected though, and Ron was the first person I thought of when you said it so it's predictable.
(parent)| deanthomas @ 2004-05-28 12:47 am UTC |
If it were Ron it would prove that life is easy to calculate.
I agree that Seamus is unexpected, however.
| just_harry @ 2004-05-28 12:50 am UTC |
Yeah but then that means a spider's going to kill Ron because he's pretty convinced about that.
It might be you. An inside job and all.
| just_harry @ 2004-05-28 12:49 am UTC |
Because it would be a neat twist. I thought Ron first and then Neville but I didn't think of you until I thought of how it would be strange if it was. So I like it better that way.
(parent)| seamus_f @ 2004-05-28 12:53 am UTC |
Well, thank you for saying I'm unexpected. I do try not to be dreary.
How do we know it isn't you, hrm?
| seamus_f @ 2004-05-28 12:59 am UTC |
Ah, but so do I.
Though, if someone had put a cooling charm on the chocolate it wouldn't be melted even if it is on the windowsill.
| just_harry @ 2004-05-28 01:02 am UTC |
If they put a Cooling Charm on it they must have been thinking about it so why would they have forgotten it on the windowsill all week? Maybe it was someone who doesn't like chocolate enough to care if they forgot it.
| seamus_f @ 2004-05-28 01:05 am UTC |
Who doesn't like chocolate?
Maybe they wanted to save it for later, like a reward after NEWTs. Or something to find when they were packing.
Maybe the chocolate belongs to the room, as an offering.
| just_harry @ 2004-05-28 01:07 am UTC |
Well, Malfoy doesn't like chocolate, so I'm sure other people don't. Except Ron and Neville do, but do they like it that much? I mean, the person could like it, just not love it.
Do you think it's a sacrifice and if we eat it something horrible's going to happen?
| seamus_f @ 2004-05-28 01:15 am UTC |
I don't think anything horrible is going to happen. Well, except for the whole war bit and your annual saving the world thing. Say, it's getting late, shouldn't you get on that?
But maybe we should just leave it there on the windowsill when we've packed up and are leaving school. That, and possibly a pack of cards and a book on how to play Wizard's Poker.
| deanthomas @ 2004-05-28 01:17 am UTC |
The chocolate is probably harmless, if sticky and starting to smell a bit. You've been studying too hard for DADA and N.E.W.T.s, I think.
| wheresmytoad @ 2004-05-29 03:06 am UTC |
Or, most likely, they were so busy revising for NEWTs, they forgot all about it.
Yeah, it's mine. Or it was--I'm not sure I want it anymore, in its present half-melted form. Actually, I rather like the idea of sort of making it an offering to the room. Maybe it'll give us all luck for NEWTs.
| deanthomas @ 2004-05-28 01:02 am UTC |
Maybe Filch put it there. I heard he can't do magic, which would explain the lack of cooling charm.
(parent)| seamus_f @ 2004-05-28 01:04 am UTC |
Ew. I don't want to think of his being in our room.
Say, if I'd known you had a thing for duck hair I would have styled mine differently. You just had to ask.
| deanthomas @ 2004-05-28 01:06 am UTC |
Why not? You don't want him watching you while you sleep?
Nah, I like your horsey mane.
| seamus_f @ 2004-05-28 01:12 am UTC |
I don't want anyone watching me while I sleep except a bed partner.
Neigh.
And you know how I feel about your hair. Though I think you have stronger feelings on the matter. Or, you did.
| deanthomas @ 2004-05-28 01:15 am UTC |
It's true I am quite smug in my inability to develop a cowlick, -ever-, but the hair has slipped down to third or forth place on the list of things I think about daily.
(parent)| seamus_f @ 2004-05-28 01:18 am UTC |
Oh really? Well, that begs a question. Behind what, exactly?]
(parent)| deanthomas @ 2004-05-28 01:20 am UTC |
Yeah, begs a rhetorical question you know the answer to.
Neigh.
| seamus_f @ 2004-05-28 01:25 am UTC |
Oh, Dean, you do know how to turn a boy's head.
What say we lay off revising, lay off mucking up Harry's journal, and take this elsewhere?
Mmm, I do love the smell of chocolate.
| deanthomas @ 2004-05-28 01:28 am UTC |
Yes, well, only because I had a sublime teacher.
Leaving computer now. Off to see a horsey.
