Getting ready for tonight
The Great Hall looks wonderful, all ready for tonight's festivities. Some of the first years got a bit nervous about the ghostly-bat charms, especially a couple of girls from Hufflepuff who really believe that old wives tale that bats get entangled in people's hair. I dunno how they think that insubstantial bats could do that. Maybe they were just having fun screaming. They were certainly, um, loud.

I spent a couple of hours helping put the candles in the Jack O'Lanterns and then doing the raise-and-hover charms on them. They're all floating below the ceiling now. (Although to tell the truth, they probably should have put me on the team that was carving the Jack O'Lanterns, instead. I mean, I did manage to set the sleeve of my robes on fire. They were my best set of everyday robes, too. But Daphne Greengrass put it out by dumping a pitcher of pumpkin juice over me, so I didn't get personally singed in the least. No harm done!)

Anyway, I hope everyone really has fun at the Hallowe'en Ball. You'll have to tell me all about it tomorrow. Wish I was going, but I'll be scrubbing the floor in the Potions dungeon again. (Actually, I think that Filch doesn't mind that he's supervising my detention instead of going to the Ball. He hates parties anyway.)

And to you-know-who-you-are . . . I meant it. I'm really sorry I've got detention. I mean, for once I really wish I could go. But I do hope you'll have fun anyway.
