Sometimes there are things magic just won't do that you wish it could.

Like make days go faster.

Or let you go back and change things that've happened.

Feels like this term will never end. I'm really ready to go home now, yeah?

We've still got more exams to get through.

[alt_pansy]

Ugh ugh ugh.

I don't even want to think about exams.

Can't the entire month of May just go away?

[alt_ron]

Yeah.

That.

[alt_sally_anne]

I think I'm going to fail all my exams. I just can't think when I look at books right now. I can't remember anything.

[alt_pansy]

You still not sleeping well?

You should talk to Madame P.

Private Message to Sally-Anne

[alt_pansy]

I know you don't care to, but she really is good to talk to, even if that's all you do. And Im sure Daphne has extra Calming Draughts -- her mum sent an enormous care package this morning, and I think she had some in there.

I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good

[alt_sally_anne]

Maybe I'll ask Daphne for one.

I just feel like

Every time I'm trying to revise or do homework or ANYTHING I either wind up remembering that time when it was me in Carrow's classroom, or I picture Hannah Abbot and Hydra in Carrow's classroom, or I remember Hannah at the wake, or I think about Terry having to leave with Carrow and how nothing anyone did helped him.

I can't stop thinking about awful things.

I suppose I could go talk to Madame Pomfrey because you're right. But -- there were a dozen people in there just when I was there getting dreamless sleep potion. At least a dozen. And some of them were Hufflepuffs who knew Hannah a lot better than I did. If they need to talk to Madame Pomfrey they shouldn't have to wait for me to get done.

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

[alt_pansy]

I'm sorry.

I know Professor Sinistra has been helping too, and she and Madame P are friends, I'd bet she'd be up for a sit down, and wouldn't mind. Maybe you could talk to her instead?

[alt_sally_anne]

I actually went earlier and got some dreamless sleep potion. I think she's giving that to anyone who asks.

I didn't ask if she had anything that would let me concentrate on revising.

[alt_pansy]

Well, sleep should help, at least.

[alt_ron]

Well. If magic were all it's meant to be, it could do those for us. And jump us ahead to time for the train home.

[alt_ginny]

Oh Ronald,

No one wants to be here at the moment, but do stop talking rubbish. We must endure, its only a couple of weeks longer.

[alt_ron]

Well.

There's a reason to carry on and enjoy every minute: it's all time I can spend irritating my little sister.

Heh.

[alt_ginny]

You wouldn't dare try irritating me. You know better.

[alt_penelope]

You might try taking your own advice, then, Ginevra, and not try to irritate your own brothers.

Particularly the one who has repeatedly asked to be left alone.

[alt_ginny]

It's Ginny, Clearwater. Look, I'm not gonna pretend like I like you. I don't even respect you, I only tolerate you because you are a prefect. I'm tired of you sticking your nose where it doesn't belong. At the end of the day, I am his sister. So if he ever drops you, I will still be here. I didn't ask him for any information about what happened. I simply asked for his advice about electives. I respect his opinion because he is very serious about his studies. I'm not irritating him, because I haven't bugged him. In fact, I often require little or no help.

So next time you attempt to put me in my place, make sure I am doing something that might actually be bothering someone. And please from now on, unless I bring your name into something, which I wont because it leaves a bitter taste in my mouth, please stay out of sibling affairs that Don't Concern YOU!


I do hope you have a good night.

Cordially,

Ginny

[alt_penelope]

How anyone as kind as Mr and Mrs Weasley could produce a daughter so rude and selfish is beyond me.

My point was that he specifically asked not to be bothered with anything, and he specifically asked me to help him out with that.

But the last thing I want is for Percy to get upset that you've used him as an excuse to squabble.

Private message to Penelope Clearwater and Ginny Weasley

[alt_percy]

Stop it. Both of you.

Ginny, Penny may be 'merely' my girlfriend rather than my sister, but I will always insist that my girlfriend be spoken to and treated with respect. Your status as my sister does not give you standing to sneer at her. Particularly when what she is doing is at my request. You are bothering me with your derisive words.

I cannot discuss your electives at this point. Keep on this way and I will not discuss your electives with you at all but will instead refer you to one of the other Prefects.

Re: Private message to Penelope Clearwater and Ginny Weasley

[alt_ginny]

Im sorry for bothring you Percy, you can be sure it wont happen again. EVER!
However, do tell your "girlfriend" to step off and leave me alone. I don't need her coming at me because I innocently sought you out. Please tell her to kindly mind her own affairs, of which I am not included.

Private message to Percy Weasley

[alt_penelope]

Sorry. You shouldn't have had to step in, there. I know she's just jealous that her big brother's found someone else to spend time with.

Feeling any better today? I could get a plate for you for supper.

Re: Private message to Percy Weasley

[alt_percy]

Got the shakes again this morning. Upset my own inkwell during my astronomy exam, which was extremely embarrassing. Professor Sinistra was kind and matter-of-fact about it, though, which certainly helped.

Merlin, Penny, when is this going to get better?

Yes, I--I still can't face the Great Hall. I hope you don't mind ants again, but a picnic at the rock at the lake would be better. At least the weather's decent.

Re: Private message to Percy Weasley

[alt_penelope]

It will do, Perce. Mr Malfoy said so, and Madam P and you said your dad, even. Doesn't it help to know they all think you did the right thing?

A picnic sounds grand. I heard there are supposed to be new potatoes tonight. And roast. I'll see if I can get the elves to bring up some cold butterbeer, too, all right?

Re: Private message to Percy Weasley

[alt_percy]

That'd be brilliant, thanks.

And if I haven't said it before...thank you. For everything you've done for me this week.

[alt_ron]

Don't you have something better to do than complain about me? Like revise or decide what your electives will be for next year.

What're you going to ask for, anywiz?

[alt_ginny]

I started revising ages ago. Some of us don't wait until the last moment to revise for exams. I have an idea of what I would like to take for electives. I'm not sure you or mum or dad for that matter would like my choice of one of them.

[alt_ron]

Some people. Honestly.

Who says I haven't revised for exams?

[alt_ginny]

I think I know you well enough to say that you would have put it off for as long as possible

[alt_ron]

Did enough all along I don't need to worry about it.

You must've too if you're not worrying about it now.

I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good

[alt_ron]

We wouldn't like her choice, huh? Well, that doesn't take Dark Scrying to figure out.

And a nice thing to say here for anyone to read.

Remind me again, somebody. Why is it a good idea to write things in here without hiding them behind the lock?

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

[alt_pansy]

Well, I guess if you want to avoid talking to your sister, you can go right ahead. But isn't it more fun to talk to her in open and then be able to talk about it on here at the same time?

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

[alt_ron]

Not if she's going to hint around that Mum and Dad don't want her taking Dark Arts. Or me.
