Well

Wednesday night already. That's good. It's going fast, too.

And most of it's dead interesting. I like that you can come out on top at some of these things even if you're not fastest or strongest, but because you can see a different way to get something done. That's just like chess, and it's really wizard.

But, um. Guess I'm a little soft in the middle. Not sure I'll be able to sit up tomorrow at all!

I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good

Ouch.

That spell I told Terry works well to make strained muscles stop hurting.

BUT it doesn't do anything to make them not all weak and wobbly anymore. That's more annoying than the pain honestly (at least it is for me).

I thought the pull ups were worse than the sit ups but my middle hurts a lot worse than my arms, I wonder why that is?

[alt_ron]

Remind me what it was? The spell. I'd look back, but

gosh, I'm just bludgered.

It's 'remedia dolor' and you point your wand where it hurts.

Be careful you don't use it and then hurt yourself worse by ignoring the pain. It should be safe on strained muscles but if you use it on a broken bone or something, you have to be careful to keep still even if it's stopped hurting.

That spell did work really well, by the way. Thanks.

You'll probably find that if you've used your muscles really hard, they'll hurt a lot worse the second day after than the first day after. It always worked that way for me, anyway.

Oh, something to look forward to!

There's apparently a spell that actually FIXES sore muscles but the Healers who are hear teaching mediwizardry won't tell us what it is. They said you can't use it if you want to get stronger, anyway; it's your body fixing the muscle that makes it get stronger.

Speaking of chess, if you're still up, I have a miniature wizard chess set Mum packed in with my things in case we had any spare time. The thought of spare time is a laugh, of course, but with Finnigan tossing and turning and my arms still burning from trying to do that pull-up I can't get to sleep at all.

[alt_ron]

Maybe tomorrow, actually.

I'm just dead tired.

It's wizard you brought your set along, though. We'll totally find time tomorrow.

[alt_linus]

Tomorrow, then!!! Meantime, if my light's bothering you, let me know. It's the charm Dad put on my favourite books so I'd stop making my eyes worse reading in the dark.

[alt_zacharias]

Well, it's bothering me, Moon! I'll never get to

LINUS MOON IS MY HERO

[alt_sally_anne]

Why, did he shut off his light?

I can't sleep. I can't even blame it on someone having a light on. I just can't get to sleep.

[alt_linus]

He fell asleep with his journal open. I couldn't resist!!!

[alt_ron]

Ha. Just saw this!

You're a bit of all right, Moon.

Did you hear them say we'd get free time this afternoon after the obstacle course? The quicker you get through it, the more rest time you get. So if we can bang our way through it, we should have time for a bit of chess!

[alt_linus]

Ta, Weasley! See you this afternoon, if I'm still alive.
