A tired update.
Well! Percy and Penelope have surprised and delighted us with wedding invitations, and now we girls are in fits of happy planning. Ginny is in paroxysms of excitement, as she adores Penelope, and I am rather pleased, myself, to have been invited. Parvati has been invited, too, as Ron's guest, and Evan Landgreen is coming along as Ginny's. I hope Percy and Penelope will let me know if there's anything at all I can do to help out, or anything in particular they would like in the way of gifts. It looks as if it will be a small, private gathering, so I'm sure preparations are going smoothly, but even if it's simply to hold a door open or to serve punch, I would love to counted on if help is needed.
Lavender is back in the dorm room again, and I have to say, we all missed her very much. She's looking loads better. I took lunch with her and Madam Pomfrey on Friday. If she minds the lot of us hanging over her shoulder like worried mothers, she hasn't said so. We have dear old Cottonfluff rooming with us now as well, so we've all had brush-ups on Reparo, as Cottonfluff really seems to enjoy making meals out of socks, homework, and anything else he can get his teeth on. Crookshanks and Cottonfluff are getting along really well, thanks to some handy Repelling Charms.
I spent Wednesday night helping Lav get started with colour-coding the notes she did manage to take, but this late in the game, and with her focus on regaining her health, it may just be too much to handle. I've once again taken up the task of studying and brewing the Wolfsbane Potion under Professor Snape's watchful eye, and am helping to monitor Ron's intensive studying, comparing notes twice a week with Parvati, making time to see Ernie every day, and studying on my own, but I feel the need to help Lavender get back on track, too. In all this feverish study, my usual work with S.P.E.W. has suffered greatly, but hopefully over the summer hols, I'll have time to construct some more pamphlets and seek out more members. A hot subject has been what people want to do after leaving school; I hardly have the time to think about what I want to do after school, besides S.P.E.W. I've been thinking of going into Muggle Relations with the Ministry for a while now, but I've grown interested in other areas of the Ministry as well - particularly the Unspeakables, especially since Ernie speaks so highly of his brother. I feel like I could be beneficial in any Muggle-related branch of the Ministry, yet I also want to do something challenging and different. Perhaps I could even be an Auror. I don't have to decide right this moment, though - and I may not have to decide at all, if I don't meet requirements. I'm trying not to worry about it, though. I'll just prepare myself as best I can and try not to focus on the fact that soon, I'll no longer be a student at Hogwarts. So much has happened these past few months that thinking about the future is so strange.
I fear I've just written a very boring, self-centred entry. It is nice to get thoughts out of your head and onto paper (or a screen, in this case) sometimes.

I can't hide my love of fluffy-tailed creatures, can I?

You stirred too quickly. Proper timing is of the essence, Granger.

I'm sorry, sir. I'll make a note about more carefully keeping my stirring speed.

See that you do. You don't have nearly enough notes as it is.

I'm awfully glad you think so, Professor. It seems no one understands the immense value of thorough note-taking.

Meticulousness cannot be overrated. I do hope you keep people around you who can remind you of this in your daily life. After all, they do say God is in the details, Miss Granger.

Well, this is why I often endeavour to be in your company, sir.

Get rid of them immediately. I find them offensive. Good night.
