I can't help noticing that the grand house-elf debate has begun once again. Since this will no doubt lead to a great deal of boredom, let me just end the debate now. House-elves are slaves, full-stop. There's always going to be someone on the bottom of the food chain, so there's no use getting your knickers in a twist over the whole affair.
Now it's February and we're all going to enjoy the four worst weeks of the year, I thought I'd start the wonderful month out with a Quidditch practice, but the snow still has yet to melt. I don't see why it can't stop snowing for more than a week straight. It's very inconvenient, if you ask me. Of course, we don't play Ravenclaw until 3 April, but I do like to be prepared.
I've just been down to the Owlery this afternoon, where I found Potter conversing with my owl. He claimed he'd been giving his own owl a treat when mine came down looking for one as well, but this being Potter, I find this excuse flimsy. My owl doesn't ask me for treats, and it would be just like Potter to attempt to strike up a friendship with my owl. You know how he is. I suppose he's grown up rather lonely, but I still don't find that to be quite an approval for spending time with my owl. One day I'll go to the Owlery and find him giving my owl a jumper with a large and gaudy F on it.
Everyone's still tight-lipped about our unexpected holiday from lessons, but I don't suppose it's because they're keeping any secrets. As we all know, nothing is secret in this castle. Rather, I think it's due to the fact that Dumbledore's not telling anyone. Personally, I suspect he simply wants the week off to take some sort of extended nap, but of course now I've said so they'll come up with a better reason. I do hope we can go home for the week, though you think they'd have told us by now, so that doesn't seem likely. Instead we'll all be trapped in the castle like house-elves. I suppose I'll spend the week preparing for N.E.W.T.s, though I think I ought to take a break by now. I dreamt I was revising last night, so that seems to me to be a sign that I ought to do something else for a bit.
I've decided not to have dinner in the Great Hall tonight, as I'd rather eat in the library and work on my History of Magic essay. Of course, if I'm not careful, I'll start turning into Granger, so I think I'll get that out of the way and spend the remainder of this week procrastinating.
In other news, Crabbe, Nott and I ran into Tracey Davis in the dungeons earlier, and it turns out that she now wants to have sexual relations with Nott. I've not quite decided what I think of it, but it's certainly interesting. I seem to recall Nott asking her to the Yule Ball in our fourth year and getting turned down. Actually, I think that's when Nott started becoming such a sex fiend, as he did end up going with a seventh year. I think that's when his voice changed as well.
Now I shall go have a house-elf deliver my dinner to the library. I do like to do what I can to make the house-elves happy.

Why would I give your owl a jumper with an F on it? I'd have to ask Mrs Weasley, but I don't think he'd wear it.
I have to work on my History of Magic essay too.

Because my owl's name starts with an F, you genius.
I realise this will be surprising, but there is in fact room in the library for two. You needn't sound as though I've filled all the spots.

I didn't even know he had a name. You always just call him your owl.
And you take up a lot of room.
| potterstinks @ 2004-02-03 09:34 pm UTC |
Even my umbrella has a name, Potter. Why would I not name my owl? Don't you name yours?
I daresay you take up more room than I do. I saw you stuffing your face with sweets just last week. You're really putting on some weight.

You GAVE them to me! You said, Have some sweets! I didn't raid Honeyduke's if that's what you mean.

That explains alot.
My owl's called Hedwig. I've told you that before. I don't have any named umbrellas, though. What's yours called?
| potterstinks @ 2004-02-03 10:11 pm UTC |
You would, wouldn't you? Come talk to me about house-elves, Potter. Someone must fill the void Pansy and Granger have left, and you are, after all, one of the charter members of S.P.E.W.

It truly is a problem of yours. Of course, we all grow used to these little quirks.

Well, thanks for the report, as I'd not have been able to live without knowing.
