Remus is leaving on Saturday. He said he'll be back before Christmas though, which is good because I want to have it at Dogear Wryde this year. Last year I just stayed at Hogwarts. Some people are being really rotten to Hermione right now. I don't know why, because it's not like she deserves it. She's got detention and everything and Hermione never gets detention.

Anyway, Hagrid is taking over Remus's lessons and he said he has an idea for something really exciting, so I'm worried about that. It probably means he's found something that can kill you with its ear but is really really cute or something. He won't tell me what it is so I can't even talk him out of it. Remus said he'll talk some sense into him so I hope that works.

I'm sorry I forgot to update this. I just never have anything to say, you know? I mean, it's kind of weird writing stuff where everyone can read it, and it's boring talking about lessons because everyone was there anyway so they already know about lessons. I guess I just don't have anything to say to anyone that I wouldn't already say to them. I'm pretty tired today. We just had practice and Ginny is looking great. She's a great Chaser and it's a good thing she's on the team. Most of the snow is gone off the pitch already but it was still cold. Evan likes playing with snow on the pitch because he says it helps us play in all weathers, only I don't really know why he says that, because we don't practise when it's snowing hard, just when there's snow on the ground and we don't even play on the ground so it's not like the snow really even effects us at all. One time Wood threw snowballs at us so we could learn to dodge but that seemed like it was a bit much. Evan doesn't go that far.

Only he heard me telling Ron that at practice and now I think he's going to try it too.

Oh, fantastic. Just what I've always wanted. Perhaps Hagrid could simply throw us all in the lake to save the effort of having us killed slowly by his overgrown animal enthusiasm.


just_harry @ 2003-11-18 06:21 pm UTC

He just likes them, and he wouldn't use anything dangerous. Not on purpose, anyway.

That certainly makes it better. Then when one of us loses a head, Hagrid can look really apologetic and say the animal only meant to give us a shave.

A head? How many do you think people have?

Stop being stupid. You know what I meant.

I don't think you have anything to worry about anyway. You don't even shave.

Millicent is a pathological liar. It's really becoming quite a problem.

He will break up with me again.

One day, Potter, when you least expect it.

just_harry @ 2003-11-18 06:53 pm UTC

You keep saying that but nothing happens. It's kind of disappointing.

(parent)
potterstinks @ 2003-11-18 06:56 pm UTC

Perhaps it's already happened and you've just not realised.

just_harry @ 2003-11-18 07:01 pm UTC

You know, I really think I would have.

I am often subtle and intricate.

(parent)
just_harry @ 2003-11-18 07:06 pm UTC

Sometimes. I have go to find out if Evan Landgreen knows what Ginny's wandcore is now. I'll see you later.

Oh, by all means, I wouldn't want to stand in the way of such an important task.

Are you still there?

(parent)
potterstinks @ 2003-11-18 07:57 pm UTC

As if I've not got anything else to do.

(parent)
just_harry @ 2003-11-18 08:00 pm UTC

Well if you're busy go ahead, I just thought I'd see if you were still there.

potterstinks @ 2003-11-18 08:01 pm UTC

I was fetching ice for my knee, as I'd unfolded my leg and it started to hurt.

(parent)
just_harry @ 2003-11-18 08:04 pm UTC

Do you want me to come with you to see Madame Pomfrey?

(parent)
potterstinks @ 2003-11-18 08:15 pm UTC

No. I'm fine. I needn't go to the infirmary. Besides, she likely couldn't do anything, as it's evidently got to do with the weather.

(parent)
just_harry @ 2003-11-18 08:20 pm UTC

She can probably give you something to make it stop hurting. I mean, you don't have to just sit there and put ice on it.

(parent)
potterstinks @ 2003-11-18 08:23 pm UTC

I'm aware of that, but generally by the time I actually get the ice it's stopped hurting, so going to the hospital wing would be futile as I'd get there and my knee would no longer hurt.

(parent)
just_harry @ 2003-11-18 08:26 pm UTC

Why don't you just keep ice in your dormitory?

(parent)
potterstinks @ 2003-11-18 08:28 pm UTC

You ask far too many questions.

(parent)
just_harry @ 2003-11-18 08:37 pm UTC

If you say so.

She can probably give you something that you can just keep until you need it. I bet lots of people have stuff that hurts right now because of the cold. I guess my arm doesn't hurt because the bones got completely removed after they broke and it didn't heal the same way broken bones normally do.

I know that knees really hurt when they go out though so you should probably do something besides getting ice.

(parent)
potterstinks @ 2003-11-18 08:48 pm UTC

It doesn't even hurt anymore.

I've not exactly forgotten that you just flopped around like a fish while I had to attack that book on my own. I'd like to think I'm handling my knee problems in a much more dignified manner.

(parent)
just_harry @ 2003-11-18 08:52 pm UTC

My knee went out! You know, I'd think you'd understand why I couldn't move.

Do you want to go to sleep?

potterstinks @ 2003-11-18 08:58 pm UTC

Actually, as a matter of fact, I do.

(parent)
onourbrooms @ 2003-11-18 06:38 pm UTC

Potter, you would note that Wood is now playing Quidditch professionally, is he not? Therefore, I find that training method perfectly acceptable.


just_harry @ 2003-11-18 06:40 pm UTC

Well yeah. But I don't think he had to put smiley faces on the snowballs, either.

(parent)
onourbrooms @ 2003-11-18 06:58 pm UTC

That is frankly disturbing. Next you'll be telling me that Wood kept a kitten named Fluffy. Then again, considering Professor Snape's tendencies, this could be so.

(parent)
just_harry @ 2003-11-18 07:00 pm UTC

No. I don't think so, anyway. He said he wanted them to look more like opposing players.

(parent)
onourbrooms @ 2003-11-19 07:18 am UTC

Opposing players would be smiling?

While this has been a fascinating conversation shedding insight into Oliver Wood's psyche, Potter, I'd rather not delve any deeper.

Oh, it was you who gave Evan the snowball idea. Nice one! Well I reckon he'll change his mind when he gets a few lobbed back at him!
