Just so you know, I think you're brilliant even if you do flinch a bit in a fight. And you're six times as clever as anyone I know, so I know that if you get even a tiny chance, you can think your way out of a tight spot.

But it's dead fantastic if Dolohov's got a way to train against that flinch. That's what we're doing here--taking advantage of everything they're willing to teach us and pushing for more.


G'night, you. Hope you're asleep already.

I think it's probably better if we don't try to duel each other. I'll get cross if you're going easy on me but I'll also get cross if you don't. It's just not going to end well.

I've thought about challenging Patil. The thing is, first off, I think she'll be completely obnoxious about it and act like I'm totally above my station for challenging a COUNCILWITCH. The other thing is -- she totally thinks she's brilliant. Or at least adequate. If I beat her, and I think you're right that I could, that could be a bit of a wake-up call that would get her to really focus, and having our enemies and future enemies NOT spending this year honing their fighting skills is probably better for us, right?

Though, if she doesn't get that sort of wake-up call she's not going to last long. On the Council, I mean. And although I dislike her quite a bit I'm not sure she deserves to wind up dead.

Anyway. I think the first thing is to use that dummy Dolohov set up. And certainly to take advantage of his offer to duel with me again. And to duel people who are at about my level -- too bad Pansy's even worse about not wanting to hurt me than you are.

Patil really would be a good opponent. Good enough to be challenging, not so good she'd wipe the floor with me, and both of us would rather like to hurt the other, I think.
