HELP HELP HELP

I was running my lines in front of the mirror and I looked like such a twit trying to be Selwyn when I am basically the anti-Selwyn and then I thought what if I made my hair lighter like his and shorter maybe and I tried this charm I heard some Hufflepuff prefect talking about and now

oh help

Well, at least it's not tangerine anymore. Though it still looks a little pink at the tips.

Honestly. That's the third time Porkinson has hissed at us all to be quiet backstage - in about the last five minutes! It's easier to use the journals, though I'm worried about missing an entrance this way.

By the way, why did you ask Abbott to hem your robe for you? She got ever so shirty with me when I was trying to be nice to her about it. She completely missed the point and when I told her you generally liked girls to be a little more - well, thoughtful about things, she had the gall to call me catty! I hope you don't really fancy her or anything? I suppose she's pretty enough, if you do, but honestly she's quite thick.

Gosh, I'm SO glad that's over. I didn't miss any lines at least, but I swear I heard Lucius Malfoy snort when I came out onstage the first time. Can't say I blame him - I know I'm not anything like Selwyn but that's Karo's fault for casting me. He was wiz about it, though, Director Selwyn. I've been trying to write a thank-you to his entry for the last few hours and I can't get past 'I'm glad you don't hate me.'

Why'd I ask Abbott? She was writing about costumes and things, wasn't she? It was a mending job. I mean, it's the sort of work they do. Nobody would fancy me, not even a half-blood, so I don't really think about fancying anyone back. It would be right odd if she did, though.

You were brill last night, by the way!!! I know you and Parvati would have gotten him in another moment. And you did get more stage time while he was making a prat of himself.
