I think, out of all my classes this year, I like Ancient Runes best (though advanced Arithmancy is a close second.) Now that we're third years we're finally learning the really wizard stuff like how to put protections on things. I'm putting one on my trunk 'cos one sock missing is probably an accident but seven PLUS two of my left shoes is probably not. If History Club were a class it would be my favourite, though!!! I have a really good head for dates and that doesn't usually come in handy anywhere else.

Mum sent me a nice parcel for final exams plus a letter from Auntie Glidden. I've got some spare biscuits if anyone wants one. They're terrifically good, but there are TWO DOZEN of them left.

Cheers on the revising session the other night, Corner! I think we're both set for exams now, though I'll probably be back up there on Friday night for a better look at the southeastern skyline. Oh, and congrats on getting engaged, Daphne!!! It must be dead nift to be marrying a Hero like Auror Crouch. Are you waiting till after you're finished at Hogwarts? Will the wedding be here, maybe? It's the first place you met, I think!

Daphne's not engaged, and certainly not to Auror Crouch.

[alt_neville]

That'd be a real surprise if she were.

[alt_neville]

Not to say that Greengrass won't become engaged to someone perfectly nice I mean. Except, um, I shouldn't think she's had much of a chance to exchange more than a few words with him. Much less get engaged to him.

Really, Longbottom.

Take your foot out of your mouth. And then shut it.

Meaning he's not surprised to hear she's engaged, I guess?

Berk.

I think he thinks you're insulting him. Or he's just cross about the whole business and you're a safe person to kick over it.

Don't apologise, just don't answer him.

Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up to No Good

[alt_neville]

Oh, I have no attention of answering him. Safer that way.

Sometimes even Gryffindors can show some self-preservation.

Well the 'stupid move of the day' award is going to a Ravenclaw today!

SERIOUSLY, this is not the sort of secret you are going to be able to keep from you ROOMMATES.

If Daphne were engaged I would have heard. Unless she had fallen secretly in love with a half-blood Hufflepuff in which case she might be motivated enough to actually keep it a secret, but can you see Daphne doing that? because I can't.

Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good

[alt_ron]

Which? Marrying a half-blood or keeping a secret?

Right. Neither.

Heh.

[alt_linus]

Are you sure? I heard at least four people talking about it, though now that you mention they were all walking together. They were talking about it like it was a certain thing, anyway.

Oh no

What if it was a secret engagement? I've heard about secret engagements, a little. I hope she's not too upset, but, I mean, it's Auror Crouch!!! Why would she hide it?

[alt_hannah]

Well, if it were a secret engagement, then it probably wouldn't have been talked about by anyone walking by.

[alt_linus]

You make a very good point!!!

[alt_sally_anne]

Well, if it was supposed to be a secret engagement and the news made it all the way to you, I'd say you aren't the one who let the kneazle out of the bag. You're just the first one to put it on the journals.
