School

[alt_megan]

I'm doing much better this term than I was last term. Last term was hard because we all came to school and it was strange and I didn't know things. This term school is still splendid. But it's splendid in a way that makes sense. And even if I don't always like all my classes, I know what they'll be like. Mostly. But even the ones I don't, I know which ones will be like that. So I don't have to worry about all of them.

And I think I'm still doing good in most of my classes. And even though I got behind when I was playing AK that weekend, I worked at everything and I don't think I'm very behind any more.

And I revised with the Patils and Lavender Brown and loads of other people yesterday. And I learned a lot. Even though it was mostly people I don't know very well. They were all really nice. It was exciting to revise with them. And I don't think I said anything wrong. And I made a really good point about one of the transfiguration exercises. They said it made it easier for everyone. And they'd never thought of it that way. So I helped.

There are still some things I don't understand. Like the new charm we did last week in charms with the funny way of moving your wand. And I wish it didn't seem like it ought to be easy. Because I didn't think it was easy. And how hard can it be to move your wand? But it's hard to get right. But I'm not upset about not knowing right now. Not very upset. Because I know I'll get it. And that's good.

It was a good point, Jones. You ought to come revise with us again tomorrow. I'm going to be helping Parvati with her Charms and Belinda wants to go over chapters 4 and 5 of History of Magic.

Really? Okay. Thank you! Can we

[alt_padma]

Cheers. Only ... Don't Nevermind. It's okay. See you tomorrow.

[alt_megan]

Only what? What's okay?

[alt_padma]

No it's nothing. I was only going to say that, well, you might want to be a little careful about telling the others you're revising with us. Midgen and Abbott and, and Bones and all, I mean.

Only I wouldn't want them to feel like you're aben abanden deserting them.

[alt_megan]

Oh. I'm not deserting them. I don't think I am. I'm just revising with you. Like I practised potions with Pansy. But that was only once. And now I'm revising with you. More than once. But

Do you think they'll be upset? Because I already wrote about it. And

[alt_padma]

Oh, I'm sure it's fine. Like I said, forget I even mentioned it.

[alt_megan]

Okay...

[alt_megan]

I mean, yes. See you tomorrow!

We don't bite! Well, Daphne used to, but that was when we were only little.

I know, you're all awfully nice! I just didn't know you were.
