I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good

[alt_pansy]

Ron and I just got back from visiting with Sally-Anne. She did wonderfully well on her OWLs, which is not surprising in the least, and she was happy about it, as well she should be.

How did everyone else do?

I did fine. Not as well as I could've, but good enough to not have to hide my head. And I got my O levels for Potions and Charms, which was nice.

I utterly failed my Herbology. I mean, I lit my plant on fire and all, but I thought I'd done all right on the written part, but I suppose I confused things a bit. More than a bit. I think I thought I could skate by on the writtens and pull out an A, but I didn't.

Maybe Professor Sprout can give me a bit of tutoring over the summer so I don't miss out on too much when it comes to applying Herbology to Potions. And if it's just that bit, I'll be more likely to pay attention. I'll have to ask her.

Hullo, Pansy!

Oh, I'm sorry about your Herbology. I shan't be continuing in that, either, what. But well done, Sally-Anne, and really all of us, I suppose. I say, how is she getting along with her father, or ought one not to ask?

She's doing okay.

I'm glad we're able to talk every day, and I'll be more glad once she's able to write properly again and come and visit all of us.

I did pretty well. Better than I had hoped, really. I got only one O, but it's in Herbology, which made me happy. I can go on for NEWTs in Charms, Defence, Herbology and Potions, and I'm going to apply for forbearance in Transfiguration and Care of Magical Creatures and see if the professors will let me in.

I take it your plant remained unsinged, then.

Singed plants can always be used for the compost heap. No waste there!
