I'm sorry, Susan!


(Oh, and that was a brilliant hex you did!)



This game is hard. Now I'm not going to dinner either. If I quit it would mess up Sally-Anne's papers. And I said I wouldn't quit. So I won't. But I don't want to be hexed. I wish I had a mudblood to fetch things for me.

Hexing isn't very memorable. It's easy.

Im not fussed; I was getting a little tired of sneaking around and hiding behind statues and things anyhow.

It was a good hex though, wasn't it! I wasn't sure if Tantallegra would distract her enough but it did. I guess it's kind of hard to hex someone else if you're dancing around like a mad person!

Me too! Getting tired of it, I mean. But a little bit not, too. Or maybe a big bit not. It's so exciting. And I want to do good. And I really want to not be hexed. But I keep thinking someone's after me and then I turn around really quick and there's no one there.

It was! She'd have got me for sure if you hadn't got her first. And then when you hexed her ears blue I knew you'd have me next, so I just did it without even really thinking about it. I'm glad you don't mind much. But I'm sorry it was us who got each other as targets.

It is exciting! But I like to walk slow and think about things and it's hard to do that if your always looking 'round waiting for someone to hex you.

I still can't believe I got Melinda, especially since she's older than us! She seemed a bit cross about it too.

Hey, I wonder if I can help you now that I'm out, or if that's against the rules?

Can you meet me at that painting, you know, the funny one we saw when we went exploring that one time?

Oh! Walking slow is bad. Someone could get you easily.

She shouldn't be cross. It's just a game. That's what Sally-Anne said. She probably thought she'd do better than first years. If we play again next year, I wouldn't want to be hexed by firsties!

I read all through the rules and I thought it was going to be okay for you to help, but then at the end it says your mates who aren't playing aren't supposed to help. But then it says they can do some things and not others. So I don't know.

Perhaps you should ask first? I don't want to mess up Sally-Anne's game.

I think we can talk and plan, because I saw in Neville's journal that he was going to tell Seamus who he thought was after him, and I'm sure he wouldn't try to bend the rules.

As long as I don't directly help you get your target I think we're alright.

Oh! You're right. I'm sure you're right. Okay.
