As I was making my way through the usual blood clot of people into the Great Hall for breakfast yesterday morning, I couldn't help noticing that everyone seemed slightly confused, so everything was as per usual.
Millicent and I were late to breakfast due to outstanding circumstances we couldn't avoid, so we weren't entirely certain as to why people were laughing at their plates, but given that this is Hogwarts, I don't expect you can really find things like that strange after awhile, can you? However, as I worked my way through my waffles, I started to notice that there were words embedded in my plate. Since Millicent's plate was cleaned much faster than mine, the message soon became evident.
Strange, isn't it, that someone would write such a thing on everyone's breakfast plates? I can't imagine who would do such a thing. Of course, it's true. After the debacle I had with Queenie Greengrass last year I managed to find a few things out about her, this being one of the least exciting. It's all rather vulgar, if you ask me, which of course I'm sure you would. On the other hand, I'm certain that this must have been done by someone with quite stellar magical skills, so they should be applauded that much.
I've spent the past week revising for my N.E.W.T.s in such a way that I nearly developed a headache from trying to read the print in Twenty Two Thousand Ways to Chop. For Potions, of course, in case Madam Pince is reading this and thinks I'm planning something dastardly, such as chopping wood. Father says I ought to focus on the heavier parts of my revising now, so that when Quidditch begins again I shall have less to do, as I won't have as much time. I couldn't agree more. It was rather strenuous to prepare for O.W.L.s and hold Quidditch practices in my fifth year, though of course I managed it nicely, as is made quite evident by the fact that I beat Potter at Quidditch.
I heard they've not been able to get the plates clean yet. I expect it must have been quite a brilliant spell.

I can't say I know, but surely she must have incurred someone's wrath to have such a fantastically embarrassing fact announced to the entirety of the castle. How very sad for her.

I do hope that means she's not taken the day to lie in and practise her extracurricular activities.

If I am correct, I do believe she has been in the bathroom for an extended period. I would offer to go check on her but I'm quite sure my company would not be appreciated.

I'd say we ought to start calling her Moaning Queenie, but the double entendres make me ill.

We cannot allow your weak stomach come between us and that nickname.

Moaning Myrtle would be jealous, and besides, it's not even alliteration.

Quavering Queenie perhaps? Although that too provokes far too much imagery.

Ten points to Slytherin for commendable extra effort in your revision, Mr. Malfoy. However, Twenty Two Thousand Ways to Chop, while in some ways a helpful text, should be supplemented by Stirring Technique and, of course, Distillation Deconstructed, both of which are available in the library and in my own collection. I am certain your father would agree with me that one should become as well-rounded in the subtle art as possible.
On another note, this Greengrass business is becoming distasteful and reflects badly on our house in front of all Hogwarts. I am sure that you, Greengrass, Parkinson, Bulstrode, and all other Slytherins will keep in mind that I have said this. Have a pleasant afternoon.

Thank you, Professor. Actually, I read Stirring Technique last week, though I've not yet got to Distillation Deconstructed. Can I stop by later this evening to borrow it from you? It seems Turpin's already checked it from the library.
Yes, sir. I'm certain that no one wants Slytherin to look badly.

Certainly you may borrow the book, Malfoy, as I know you will take care of it. Stop by after dinner; I shall be supervising a detention, but I will be able to spare you a few moments.
