Out of line.
So I obviously needn't mention that we've all unwittingly exchanged prized possessions, since everyone's already posted about it. I have to admit that I'm surprised at my own prized possession. It's not something I'd considered before, and when Dora Vaughan told me that we'd had things abducted, there wasn't any one object my hands automatically went flying for in my room. Even when I tried to think what might be missing, I couldn't narrow it down to less than five or so things. Professor Flitwick told me that Professor Dumbledore used some sort of spell to discover what was truly most important to each person, short of another person; in truth I think most people would consider another person the most important thing to them, but that definitely isn't a possession. I can't help wondering if anyone else was surprised to discover what had been taken. I don't imagine that Dean Thomas thought that his prized possession was his hair. Certainly I think my partner had an unexpected possession, if it isn't too rude of me to say so.
I know this week is supposed to be about learning things about other people and such, but I can't help being mostly, and selfishly, intrigued by my own apparent prized possession. I also wonder what it says about me that my prized possession revolves largely around another person. Then again, even when I went through them in my head, most of the things I thought of involved other people. A ring my mother gave me, a book my sister and I made when we were still young enough to be friends. Still, I wish my prized possession said more about me and less about Morgan Mullarkey. It's just a scrap of parchment with some Weezerd lyrics that he passed me in the library last term. Part of me understands why it would be important to me, but mostly I just feel surprised and silly.
I wonder what it is, exactly, that we'll be doing this week. I don't mind saying that I'm not exactly jumping at the thought of working with Draco Malfoy, but I think I ought to give him a fair chance. It might be interesting to learn something about him, but I can't imagine that he and I are going to be having in-depth conversations about house relations. I think he makes me act immature, and it bothers me that I let that happen.
At lunch today every received copies of Worship the Wizard or Witch in You Without Worry from Mrs Malfoy. The entire Great Hall was filled with owls and it would have been impressive, in theory. In practice it was actually sort of frightening. The book I got said, 'You are worthy of worship, Lisa!', and I had to leave the table.
Morgan Mullarkey's prized possession, according to Vicky Frobisher, is his Quidditch captain badge. Secretly, I think this is probably the sole reason why I feel like a dolt.
Anyway. If anyone learns that their partner is the Head Boy, I hope they'll let me know.

Thanks, Hermione. I think you'll have a bit of a tough time with Ernie, as well, though he's certainly nice enough.

Well, I just hope Crookshanks is safely returned, that's all!

Oh, Ernie Macmillan loves cats. He won't do anything to him.

Er, well, he called Crookshanks a cat/monster hybrid...

I suppose you don't know if the Head Boy is a Christian? Or even interested in reading really, Really old texts? I haven't eaten All day so it's not likely I'll make it To the end of dinner for anything either and You haven't seen a little elephant figurine, Have you?

No, I'm unaware of the Head Boy's religion. I'm sorry, but I haven't seen your elephant figurine, either. I do think you should eat something, though.

Oh, that? Why is it that I'm the only one who knows anything in this castle? Nott's been carrying it around all day. I assumed it was a post-coitus gift. Then again, I'm not assuming that it isn't.

Hi, Lisa. Do you know of anyone in Ravenclaw that uses an inhayler?
| turpinol @ 2004-02-10 01:41 am UTC Re: |
Well, Jane Atkinson is asthmatic but she never carries her inhaler. She's in your year. David Lansing uses an inhaler all the time but he's partnered with Brooke Haydt. Either Eurydice Cook or Eurydice Fuller has an inhaler, but I'm not sure which, I'm afraid. Eurydice Cook is partnered with Kevin Whitby and Eurydice Fuller is partnered with John Flatround (they're third years). Misty Key, I think, uses her inhaler a bit like a security blanket, but she's a first year so I doubt you've been paired with her. Aside from that, I just saw her with it at lunch. Sorry, Ginny.

Thanks, Lisa! I saw Jane Atkinson earlier but it wasn't hers. She thought it was weird, actually. Maybe it's a different sort than she uses, I don't know. Thanks again!

You act as though I can't read this.
As a matter of fact, it is rather rude to speculate upon my belongings. Shall I start writing entries about my pants and debate whether or not your knickers feel the same as my pants do?

Since you went through my trunk today, I wouldn't be surprised if you could discuss the matter with some confidence and knowledge.
