Well, I'm definitely looking forward to starting the CCF programme, because it's boring as all get-out around here.
I've been riding every day, which has been nice, and Onions is a really great horse. I think he likes me, because he always seems happy to see me, and he doesn't get nearly as much exercise when I'm not around.
It's funny, being away from Hogwarts makes everything feel different. Everything's lighter somehow. Even food tastes different. I think that being around the Dementors for such a long time numbed everything a bit, and now I'm waking up again. Like when your foot falls asleep and you don't even notice it happening, but then when you start to feel it, it's all needles and pins. So I feel itchy, and excited, and bored, and am looking forward to doing anything other than just sitting around here.
It really is too bad that they couldn't accept everyone in our class for the programme. At least the people that didn't get in can still be a part of the YPL, though, and I'm sure that there will be plenty of nift things they can do to help with the younger students and all. I've written Mr Tenebridge, the person I sent my initial letter to, so that he'd know. I'm very much hoping to schedule a meeting with him this summer as well. We'll see!

Date: 2011-06-30 03:15 am (UTC)I'm really looking forward to CCF week, and going out to New London after that would be brilliant. I haven't got any albums of Dirty Cauldron, but I've heard him on the radio, and I think he'd be really ace to see live. That's an excellent idea.
Do you think we'll have to bring a body guard or something? That'd be a bit of a hassle. I mean, I'd understand if they thought it necessary, and I suppose it's better than getting hurt or worrying your parents. I'm sure your mum is relieved that they've caught that awful man.
And I hadn't heard about Hydra. There's no place safer than Buckingham, though, and I know she loves spending time with Harry. And I'm sure he could use the company. It's too bad she's in the year below us. I'll miss her on the CCF trip.

Date: 2011-06-30 03:16 am (UTC)Oh, I don't think we'll need any kind of security detail... No one's mentioned anything to me about needing one, anyway. I suppose we could go out in disguise, if you wanted. That might be a bit of a laugh, yeah?
What I really wish is that these angry, restless traitor types would just back off and let my family be. Sometimes I wish it were thirty years from now and Harry was already over-seeing the Protectorate, you know? It's sure to be a lot calmer by then.

I wonder what thirty years from now would look like. You'd be right around Lucius's age, wouldn't you?
Re: Private Message to Draco Malfoy
Date: 2011-06-30 03:35 am (UTC)Hey, I could grow a mustache if I wanted to.
Maybe. Blond mustaches look ridiculous, though, like you've got some kind of pale, fluffy biscuit balanced on your upper lip.A few years older, but close. I suppose I'll probably look something like him, though. With no mustache, of course. Or, I don't know, sometimes I think I look more like my Mother, really. But I wouldn't hold your breath on me ending up on the cover of one of her ladies fashion magazines. I'll leave that to you.

Date: 2011-06-30 03:45 am (UTC)I agree about the blond mustaches, now that I think about it. I suppose that's why they aren't terribly common. Except it doesn't look as funny when it's white hair. I wonder why that's the case?
You really do look like both your parents combined.
Sometimes I'm sorry I look so very much like Rosa. I wish I had more of my father in me. Other than my eye colour, of course.
Re: Private Message to Draco Malfoy
Date: 2011-06-30 04:06 am (UTC)My parents look rather alike, as far as colouring goes, so I suppose it does appear that way.
And just so you know...just because you look like your mother doesn't mean you don't have a lot of your father in you, too.
