Oh, poor Lavender! It seems they have.

black_dog @ June 22 2004, 12:36:52 UTC

I think they remember her all too well.

It's harsh; and yes, poor Lavender. But hopefully she'll hang around at Hogwarts another year and grow up a little bit.

Isn't it Lavender that Seamus is talking about when he says You know who?

Also, I know this is anal but it's driving me crazy...why does everyone keep talking about the teachers giving them points etc.? The teachers don't give N.E.W.T.s so how Snape feels about emotion etc. would have no bearing on your exam grade, would it?

Isn't it Lavender that Seamus is talking about when he says You know who?

I think so. It's a pretty awful way to refer to her, isn't it? But I think "not leaving" means "not graduating" so it sort of confirms that she's hanging around another year. Unless, as Lucius puts it, "something unexpected intervenes." 8X

Oh and poor insecure Hermione, writing a 17 page application to live with people she's lived with for 7 years! I love it, though.

The teachers don't give N.E.W.T.s

*shrugs* AU rules, I guess. In OOTP outside inspectors gave the OWLs, right? So you'd think it might be the same with NEWTS. But the game's explicitly non-OOTP canon, and in the Sirius and "sympathy score" threads, they seem to suggest that in this AU it's the regular professors who do it. I don't know, no quibble either way from me, since I guess this way gives more opportunity for teacher postings and interactions. Just my opinion, though.

Aaagh. Seamus and Parvati are going off grounds, presumably without their wands. Not good not good not good.

xnera @ June 22 2004, 14:57:07 UTC

That was my thought, too.

Damn. Not Seamus! I like the horsie. DO NOT HURT THE HORSIE!!!

And Parvati has really grown on me lately, so I don't want anything to happen to her, either.

Heck, I don't want anything to happen to anyone, but it can't be that way, can it?

dry_your_eyes @ June 22 2004, 15:00:02 UTC

it seems that taken how much they talked about going out of castle, something should happen!
I know there's no logic in my statement, but still *gets paranoid*...

slinkhard @ June 22 2004, 15:57:00 UTC

Eh. I can live without the horsie.
Bring on the bloodlust!

laurac0re @ June 22 2004, 18:33:33 UTC

uh oh. Lavender doesn't seem too impressed.

Anonymous @ June 22 2004, 18:52:33 UTC

aww, i felt so bad after reading what Lavender wrote.

darcourt @ June 22 2004, 21:09:15 UTC

So did anyone else get a flashback to Friends while she was talking about the 17 pages with small writing and sleeping with that as a pillow? Maybe it's just a sign that it's time for me to cut the power cord on the television... :P

ginger_slam @ June 22 2004, 21:12:41 UTC

I fell asleep!

You feel asleep?

And, the most infamous line of them all:

WE WERE ON A BREAK.

Yes. I thought of that episode too.

sistermagpie @ June 22 2004, 21:41:59 UTC

Well, I'm sure Hermione used "your" and "you're" properly at least!

ginger_slam @ June 22 2004, 22:21:58 UTC

As long as we can depend on that.

vassilissa @ June 23 2004, 06:55:41 UTC

I feel so horrible about you know who and I bet you know who feels like I'm rubbing it in you know who's face but, oh I don't know, I just feel horrible. No buts.

Par*va*ti. Not naming the thing you fear only gives it more power. If you think Voldemort should stay another year at Hogwarts, just say so. I didn't say that. And I certainly don't find it funny.

That was sweet of Lisa.
