I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good Private Message to Sally Anne Perks and Pansy Parkinson

So I started looking at that application during History of Magic, and I think I've got my answer to the question about the two paths.

But, um. I wondered if you'd look and say whether I'd better write something different instead.

First, I'd get out my Locator stone and fix my position. And I'd start off going towards the forest, to explore and map it, because I'd be curious about what's in there. And that's what I'd do unless I heard sounds from the castle like a tournament. You know, trumpets flourishing and bells ringing out. And swords and lances clashing against shields. If I heard that, I'd leave the forest path and use my navigational skills to find my way through the forest to the castle, and when I'd got there, I'd make my way to the tournament grounds to the horse stalls and broom sheds. And I'd challenge the squires to a throw at gobstones to let me enter the competition in their place. I wouldn't even care if I didn't win, though I bet I might, just on pluck and starter's luck!

I think you ought to talk about finding out if they were friends, because you have friends who are both, and I think they'd like that sort of thing.

I still haven't settled on mine yet. It's hard!

Oh, that's a really good idea! Because the YPL always puts us up in groups that sort of break up our Houses a bit, and I could talk about what I like about the people from other Houses and how valuable it is to work together (because bringing a Gryffindor always means you have someone to hide behind! er, I mean, because just as no one wizard is an island, no one House is perfect and we all need each other blah blah blah etc.)
