Yesterday I was forced to play Quidditch with people who can't play Quidditch, as Millicent had volunteered me to play without my consent. Since we didn't have enough people for full teams, I wound up on a team with Weasley, Nott and Finch-Fletchley, as though the person planning these teams wanted to put me in my own personal pit of Hell, which is rather likely. I've never played Quidditch against Millicent, so it was a bit odd.
As Nott was playing Beater, rather early in he ploughed Millicent down, much to everyone's shock. I don't think anyone's ever knocked Millicent off her broom before, aside from when Mulligan threw an axe at her last year. Nott doesn't even play Quidditch. I don't see how he managed to attack Millicent, of all people. However, Millicent now seems to be infatuated with Nott, as she spent the rest of the day flying around him while the rest of us avoided him wisely. Perhaps the fall scrambled her brains.
Weasley was apparently dying to be Seeker for a moment, so we all switched positions and I had to play Keeper. I can see why Weasley would want to be a Seeker, given that Seekers are much better than Keepers, but who was he fooling? Millicent played Seeker as well, and it was utterly ridiculous. Why should I have to be Keeper just to satisfy Weasley's desire for glory? People were throwing a Quaffle at my head. Potter was a rather shoddy Beater as well, from what I could see. Needless to say, that match certainly didn't last very long. Millicent and Weasley simply aren't fast enough to be Seekers.
Millicent and I were supposed to revise for Herbology this afternoon, but evidently she was revising with Nott. What's so fantastic about Theodore Nott? She let him feed her cat as well. Normally she's quite fussy over who can feed her cat, but apparently Nott has a 'gentle hand.' As though I would strangle the cat while I fed it. Our N.E.W.T.s start tomorrow, and I've had to revise alone all this weekend because Millicent was busy with Nott. They had tea. They read books. For fun. Who wants to sit around reading books? Next he'll be assisting her with her stamp collection.
We aren't being tested on our ability to conjure a Patronus during N.E.W.T.s, which I imagine comes as a relief, since there were no more than five people able to do it between Slytherin and Ravenclaw. I doubt the Gryffindors and Hufflepuffs had better results, given that they're the less talented houses.
I've been writing out History of Magic notes for Crabbe all day, and now all I can think about is History of Magic. I had to rewrite the scroll about Pellnor Wilkes three times. I don't see what he's doing in History of Magic, anyway. Why does it include things so recent? Potter's in it as well. I don't see why I need to know that Pellnor Wilkes enjoyed gambling and whittling. In fact, My Father knew him before he died, so if I really needed to know something, I would, as always, ask My Father.
We've had our journals graded, and it seems that some people received a P or a D. I, of course, received an O. It's a rather simple project, so I don't see why no one else was able to keep up. I know that I would feel just dreadful if I couldn't get a good mark on an assignment as simple as a journal.
Now I've to go eat dinner with Pansy, as Millicent has abandoned the two of us to eat by ourselves.

Pellnor Wilkes was a very strange man, although there was something quite charming about him at times. I am sure your Father would be quite happy to answer any questions you may have before your NEWTs regarding Pellnor Wilkes or anything at all, really.
Theodore is a lovely boy, Draco. He quite takes after his mother and his dear late Aunt Aubrey, whom I was so close to when we were your age. It is such a pity that she passed on all those years ago; I do miss her company.
Are you in need of anything before your examinations begin, darling?
| potterstinks @ 2004-06-21 04:26 am UTC |
I don't see what's so lovely about him.
I think I'm fine, Mother, though of course I could always use gifts.
| blondenarcissa @ 2004-06-21 09:55 am UTC |
I shan't explain it to you if you can't see it for yourself. Perhaps, for once, we shall have to simply settle for disagreeing on something.
Of course you could, dear. I've sent off a parcel just now.
I would wish you luck on your examinations but I know that you do not need anything of the sort as you are naturally brilliant and skilled.
| deanthomas @ 2004-06-21 03:07 am UTC |
Hey. I was able to conjure a patronus. For... a second or four.
| potterstinks @ 2004-06-21 04:27 am UTC |
Oh, really? In that case, I don't see why they've not given you some sort of medal. That is, after all, quite impressive, if one is impressed by failure.
(parent)| deanthomas @ 2004-06-21 05:06 am UTC |
Don't really need medals or awards to make myself feel accomplished. Are they going to give you a medal for actually being someone's patronus? Or is the sight of its fists prize enough?
(parent)| potterstinks @ 2004-06-21 05:15 am UTC |
Well, what do you know? Even your Patronus turns out to be rewarding.
(parent)| deanthomas @ 2004-06-21 05:18 am UTC |
It's just strange because I've never even seen a llama in real life and have no idea why my great protector would be a llama.
(parent)| potterstinks @ 2004-06-21 05:27 am UTC |
Llamas stand around looking indignant and chewing. They don't do much else. Best of luck, there.
(parent)| deanthomas @ 2004-06-21 05:36 am UTC |
That's a bit more than what yours does. Seems I should be wishing you luck.
(parent)| potterstinks @ 2004-06-21 05:38 am UTC |
Oh, you could laugh at the fact that I'm unable to do it, but then you'd be laughing at some of your own friends as well.
(parent)| deanthomas @ 2004-06-21 05:41 am UTC |
The laughs I have for my friends are entirely different than the laughs I have for you. So all is well.
(parent)| just_harry @ 2004-06-21 05:38 am UTC |
Hahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.
(parent)| deanthomas @ 2004-06-21 05:45 am UTC |
Oh really? I thought it was a reindeer. I was wondering why Santa was so important to you.
(parent)| deanthomas @ 2004-06-21 05:50 am UTC |
He is pretty generous most of the time.
Why would mine be a llama?
| just_harry @ 2004-06-21 05:52 am UTC |
I don't know, but it was really funny. What do you think about spitting?
(parent)| deanthomas @ 2004-06-21 05:57 am UTC |
I don't think about spitting at all. I suppose it's sort of rude, though.
(parent)| just_harry @ 2004-06-21 06:01 am UTC |
That's the only thing I really know about llamas. Only now I'm wondering if that's camels.
(parent)| deanthomas @ 2004-06-21 06:05 am UTC |
Why couldn't I have had a camel? They are a lot bigger. And they have those humps.
(parent)| just_harry @ 2004-06-21 06:08 am UTC |
Well it could be worse. I heard someone had a leprechaun.
(parent)| just_harry @ 2004-06-21 06:56 am UTC |
I just can't stop. Was it a giant leprechaun or anything?
(parent)| just_harry @ 2004-06-21 07:09 am UTC |
Well, they're kind of small and I thought a Patronus should be pretty big.
(parent)| potterstinks @ 2004-06-21 07:22 am UTC |
At the moment, I'm trying to keep my eyes open. It's rather late, you realise.
(parent)| just_harry @ 2004-06-21 07:25 am UTC |
I'm really tired too. I like how you're using a picture that looks tired. That's nice.
(parent)| potterstinks @ 2004-06-21 07:28 am UTC |
Oh, so you weren't about to invite me to a duel, then?
I do try to co-ordinate.
| just_harry @ 2004-06-21 07:55 am UTC |
Alright, that was dumb. You're not going to sleep either.
(parent)| potterstinks @ 2004-06-21 08:16 am UTC |
I realise that, Potter. However, I really quite seriously do need to go to sleep.
(parent)| potterstinks @ 2004-06-21 08:37 am UTC |
Yes, I reckon I would as well. Now I shall go wash my face.
(parent)| turpinol @ 2004-06-21 05:10 am UTC |
Are you upset that you can't do the Patronus Charm? I know I am. Charms is my best class, so I thought that I would have an easier time of it. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.
| potterstinks @ 2004-06-21 05:31 am UTC |
As shown by my O, I'm quite thorough in updating my journal.
(parent)| petitemillicent @ 2004-06-21 06:10 pm UTC |
I asked you along.
Did you not hear me over your own whining?
M. B.
| potterstinks @ 2004-06-21 06:19 pm UTC |
Are you certain you didn't ask your Patronus instead?
(parent)| potterstinks @ 2004-06-21 06:30 pm UTC |
Oh, I'm so glad you've noticed. For one thing, I don't intend to stand around shining to aid Nott's eyesight.
(parent)| petitemillicent @ 2004-06-21 06:35 pm UTC |
Well both of you certainly share the same fondness for Theodore.
M. B.
| potterstinks @ 2004-06-21 06:41 pm UTC |
I've never called him Theodore in my life. Do you call Granger 'Hermione' as well now? Why are you so chummy with Nott?
(parent)| petitemillicent @ 2004-06-21 06:44 pm UTC |
I am thinking of calling him Teddy now as it is easier to type.
I have always been chummy with him.
He is in our House, you see.
M. B.
| potterstinks @ 2004-06-21 06:46 pm UTC |
So was Miranda Mulligan. And yet, someone turned her into a potato.
(parent)| petitemillicent @ 2004-06-21 06:52 pm UTC |
That is just a side effect of being annoying.
M. B.
| petitemillicent @ 2004-06-21 07:01 pm UTC |
No she is not.
No self-respecting person would wear their hair in unicorntails.
M. B.
| potterstinks @ 2004-06-21 07:31 pm UTC |
No self-respecting person would makes gifts for someone and never send them, so it seems you and Miranda have something in common.
(parent)| potterstinks @ 2004-06-21 07:57 pm UTC |
What? What's the matter, Millicent? Don't tell me you don't like being abandoned either.
