Everything's at sixes and sevens. Now mudbloods are posting about German phrases?

No Miss Parkinson, the moon is not turning to blood.

However, it is currently a waxing crescent moon and just last night it was in conjunction with Venus and Jupiter. If you looked at it them right way they made a little face that looked a bit like this :) Or maybe it was like this (:

Of course that's all moot really, as it was foggy last night and nobody round here saw anything besides fog. The fourth years were very disappointed.

[alt_pansy]

That was Venus and Jupiter? It was lovely, especially with the crescent moon.

[alt_harry]

I sure don't know.

[alt_pansy]

We are children and require a stable learning environment, don't you agree?

[alt_harry]

I guess.

What does that even mean?

[alt_pansy]

I don't know. Some stuff I overheard mum say to one of her friends. It's a sort of nonsense answer, to a nonsense situation.

[alt_draco]

Why do you read its journal? I never do.

[alt_pansy]

I forgot and so it showed up in here. You know you can filter it out but I just didn't think.

[alt_zacharias]

Who taught it to read and write anyway? Shouldn't that be against the law?

[alt_pansy]

I was wondering that myself.

[alt_zacharias]

I still don't understand why it has a journal either. Does anyone want to read what it writes?

[alt_pansy]

I think the library one has a journal too.

[alt_zacharias]

Marvolo's has one too, but he doesn't seem as bad as the other two. More useful, at least.

[alt_pansy]

Lucius says he can read and write, so I guess maybe teaching them is the in thing to do now or something.

[alt_zacharias]

Doesn't seem like a good idea to me, but what do I know? Dad says there are so many of them in the camps, I bet it would be really hard to keep them from teaching each other.

[alt_pansy]

I don't see how you could really keep them from teaching, no, but really... how smart are they?

[alt_zacharias]

Smarter than your mate Boxhead Bulstrode is...

[alt_millicent]

shut up or ill pound you

[alt_pansy]

Boxhead Bulstrode? Hey, Mil, new nickname!

[alt_millicent]

hes going to get a new nick name too. dead smith.

[alt_pansy]

The Famous Cowboy, Dead Smith. Squaring off against the notorious outlaw Boxhead Bulstrode! In the wild west!

[alt_millicent]

whats a cowboy?

[alt_pansy]

A bloke who rides horses and shoots guns. And wears a big hat.

[alt_sally_anne]

Really? I'd always thought maybe it was some sort of magical creature like a centaur only with a cow. It's what it sounds like.

A bloke who rides horses makes more sense, though. What kind of hat?

[alt_pansy]

A cowboy hat?

[alt_sally_anne]

Is that pointy like a regular hat or what? Does it have a cow on top for decoration?

[alt_pansy]

Hm... it's sort of hard to describe. I will draw one for you. Or get Draco to, if he's talking to me.

[alt_sally_anne]

Okay. Right now I think I'm going to try to go to sleep, though. Guten nact noct Good night.

[alt_pansy]

I'm right behind you.

But check under your pillow. I think Fergus has a start on the giving season.

[alt_millicent]

i know some german. guten tog that means good day.

[alt_pansy]

and auf vidersien or whatever is goodbye.

[alt_millicent]

okay bye

[alt_pansy]

I'm not saying bye to you, Mil. I was just saying that goodbye in German is all I know. Work with me a little here.

[alt_millicent]

oh sorry.

gazoontite is what you say after some one sneezes

[alt_pansy]

Oh, that reminds me. Did you know cats have snot? Fergus does, and so does my transfiguration homework now. I hope Professor Carrow isn't too offended.

[alt_millicent]

some times i think fergus is scottish for bad cat

[alt_pansy]

I call him el diablo sometimes. My mum used to call our cat that. She said it's Spanish for devil.

[alt_millicent]

mum said she was going to send him to the battersea dogs home but that was a muggle place and its not there anymore.

also hes not a dog.

[alt_pansy]

Just a mental cat. He's great, but you have to admit he's mental. Last night he walked around the common room for an hour with a box on his head.

[alt_millicent]

ive done that before. its fun.

[alt_pansy]

So is that where Ferfus learned it?

[alt_millicent]

probly. hes good at paying attenshun.

[alt_susan]

I thought Well, lots of things are odd here. Maybe they will just keep getting odder until, I don't know, we're all wearing boxes on our heads or something?

[alt_pansy]

That'd be entertaining, to say the least. I love the mental image.

Music Friday night? Bring Valkyrie if you like. She's wizard. And so soft!

[alt_susan]

I'll be there! Actually, what you said about the shirts gave me</> an idea.

Do you play any musical instruments?

I'll tell you more later.

[alt_susan]

Sorry about the italics charm there.

[alt_pansy]

I don't play anything but I want to hear this idea! This sounds brillliant.
