I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good Private Message to Neville Longbottom

Are you off camping yet?

If you are I hope you're having fun. And if you are, well, I guess you might want to read the rest of this after you get back. (Really, stop now if you want.)

 
 
 
 
 
 
So, I heard from Bundy today that she didn't get Prefect. And I didn't. I mean I didn't expect to, but, well-

And I reckon you didn't, though that would be the best news ever if you did.

Anywiz, it's not good news for Katrina and I have a bad feeling about which of us got it on our side. Actually, I guess, I can't decide which would be worse.

And, I mean, this year was bad with those two. Think what it'll be like now?

Yeah.

Sorry to tell you rotten news, but just, yeah.

I'm not camping yet; we leave Saturday.

I was holding off writing to you because I hoped you had it, but I was afraid to ask. I knew there was no way it'd ever be me. And I was hoping for Bundy. She really deserved it.

I think it'd stick in too many people's craw to give it to Dean, since he wasn't even here with us first year. And there are still people who hold their nose up at him since he spent so much time in the camps. Maybe the Headmistress doesn't see it that way--I'm sure she doesn't--but she knows a lot of others do.

So I bet it's Seamus.

That means

yeah

[alt_neville]

Maybe...maybe it might turn him around?

If not, well, at least there'll be nights he'll be off doing prefect rounds so he won't be around the room looking squinty-eyed at us.

[alt_ron]

And taking points for squinting back. What a git.

At least have fun camping. I think that sounds like loads of fun.

This year when things get really sour, we can make up plans about leaving school to go off camping somewhere instead of having to live with Finnicky and Mean.
