I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good

So I was talking to Lee and the twins and Towler came up and told us he'd just been talking to McLaggen about what he'd done to wind up with that giant gash above his eye, and McLaggen told him he'd been duelling Inglebee and Inglebee'd got his mouth sealed shut. Only then Inglebee'd gone and not let anyone do a reversing curse on him and hadn't got it right himself. Towler reckons he couldn't do it without speaking it, y'know? And, anyhow, McLaggen says it's all gone pear-shaped and the teachers have found out, and it's all going to come out anywiz, so he told Towler some of it. There are loads of Prefects that've been involved. And Towler says McLaggen reckons some of them are going to get it stripped, but he says it was all worth it because they taught themselves some major magic while they were about it.

Whatever. It's McLaggen. And he's already using it to try to pull. Tried it on with Katie at supper, from the looks of it. She laughed at him, but I'm not sure which kind of laughing it was. I mean, I hope she was laughing at him, but sometimes it's hard to tell about girls. She didn't tell him to get bludgered.

Anywiz.

I know none of you lot were involved, but what about the other people who've just got coins? I mean, if the teachers are coming down hard on this one secret group, it would be really bad if one of them had a coin, y'know?

Pans. Malfoy's not, is he? I mean, Nott is, I heard. And maybe Zabini?

I saw Linus Moon when he came back to the Common Room after talking to Professor Dolohov.

Linus looked about as white-faced and sick as if he had been wrestling with a Racklesaur. He threw Padma Patil an utterly tragic look. Then he put a shaking hand over his face and went up the stairs to bed without speaking to anyone.

Hullo, Luna,

Yes, I feel quite sorry for Zach, as well. He wasn't in the Common Room when I got in but Bobolis and Begy were in our dormitory with him, up until about ten minutes ago, looking daggers at anyone who entered, what?

I'm quite sure a Racklesaur could make mincemeat of him, at present.
