I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good

So those are some big books. A load of them, too. And he seems to have a lot to say. In that post about the course, and the letter about the books.

Glad I left this morning before that came in. Mum's not saying anything about it now, but I bet it was hot here this morning. I think it was good I went on and bought those myself. She hasn't said yet when we're going as a family, but they might not have any left by then, and this way, maybe I won't have to hear about how cross it makes her to have to buy those, y'know.

I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good Private Message to Sally Anne

Yeah.

And, well, I know she meant what she said, but it doesn't really help when Pansy goes all apologetic about money things. It's just-

Yeah.

Yeah.

I mean I really, really appreciate all she does for me.

But I hate that when Patil talks about how I always turn to Pansy to get the things I need, she's right? I know I shouldn't care what Patil says and I know Pansy's glad to do it and sometimes it DOES even make me feel better, like when she promised me she'd bribe anyone she had to at St Mungo's to get me into the Healer training programme even if Stint tried to keep me out.

But

Yeah.

I hate being poor.

But the good thing is, I have that money from being a YPL counsellor! so I COULD just buy the books instead of having to watch while all the good translations slipped away.

Have you looked at anything yet? The Peverell books is actually dead interesting. It's about how you write your OWN spells, or if you've had something cast on you, how you figure out what it was and how to do the same thing. At first it's pretty general, it gets into curses in the later chapters.
