That really was a wonderful brunch. Thanks again, Director Selwyn! It was rather lovely, especially the... oh... what do you call what we had to drink? I didn't catch it, but it was nice. As were the pastries.
It was so kind of you to go out of your way to recognise all the people in our year who helped at the World Cup because I know you must have just such a busy schedule, and I know that the only reason I was there was because Sally-Anne was so wonderfully brave, and learning about mediwizardry too, that helped. I don't want to go into it for a living, of course, but you know, it really is very useful to learn, and I'm glad we'll be learning more about it this term, and I'm ever so glad that your Arista had Ron taking care of her during all the chaos because she really is wonderfully sweet, and I remember how much fun we had together at the Easter party last spring. It's a pity I'll have left Hogwarts by the time she gets old enough to come here, but I'm just sure she'll do marvellously.
I really enjoyed our chat, and that you took the time to get to know each one of us a little better, and I hope all of us didn't bore you too terribly with our goings-on here at Hogwarts. It was very kind of you.
I ought to get back to waiting for people to come by my orienting station in case anyone needs help, but I just wanted to write you and let you know how much I appreciated your well-wishes.
And Daphne! I absolutely adore the dress robes you wore to brunch. I didn't get a chance to tell you as we were all chatting away about one thing or another and you know how that sort of thing goes, but I wanted to let you know that those colours looked particularly wonderful on you.

That was a brill morning, though. Good to know you can get reasonably nice food in Hogsmeade, too. Paramount service, as well.

And that was a snitch lesson when he told us about the squid! Makes a brilliant story, too, the way you told it.

To give credit where it's due, I quite agree with what you said about Acton. Underneath all that syrup she definitely knows charms.
no subject
Yeah, well, it may be like Li said. Acton's not sweet on us Gryffindors! Not like she is with you and Harry, y'know?
no subject
Speaking of, for some reason Li dumped at least 6 cubes of sugar into my tea when I asked her to pass the bowl over. Nice of her to be helpful, but it ruined my cuppa. Good thing those pitchers of sunrise cordial kept refilling.

That's the thing about Director Selwyn. He treats us like we're worth spending time with and listening to. Not like grown ups, exactly, but like we we're on our way to that.
I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up to No Good
Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up to No Good
I told you about my meeting with him this summer. Not going to tell Malfoy about that, though, am I?
Actually. Not sure how I got talking to Malfoy, at all.
Huh.
Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up to No Good
But I'm glad you realise the danger. Guess if he wants to find out stuff about our families, he knows he's more likely to get the information out of a kid who he thinks wouldn't know any better.
Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up to No Good
Anywiz, all we talked about today was the pastries, which were amazing, and about that French Veela girl, and Krum, and, oh! Someone told him about Professor Raz and Professor Sinistra, how, er. Um. Yeah, I can't believe anyone actually said it. Oh, well.
Y'know. I think there might've been something in the stuff they gave us to drink! I mean, people said some kind of- interesting stuff.
Nothing bad, though. Just, y'know, stuff you wouldn't normally say. Like, um. I sang him some of the songs Arista and I sang when I went to find her that night at the World Cup.
I can't believe I did that. Oh, well.

Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up to No Good
I think she was pretty embarrassed later that she'd said it!
Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up to No Good
I mean, I guess I did go on a bit much about you and Sally-Anne and all, and I probably shouldn't have said anything when he started talking about the Professor Carrows, but practically everyone else said things too, so it wasn't like I was the only one.
Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up to No Good
That was a really nice restaurant, wasn't it? I've never heard anyone talk about it. Though I reckon none of us go any place like that on Hogsmeade days!
