I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good

Since you'll all want to know, I've only just cornered a house elf and made this request of him (or her, hard to be certain with an elf of such decrepit years): a delivery of a parcel to Professor Dolohov's chambers containing one Bumbridge plate. The attached note read the following:

A Student of Hogwarts asks that this commemorative plate be given as a gift to Headmistress McGonagall. Would you be so kind to deliver it to her personally and discreetly?

PS - It has eyes and ears.

Wish I could see his face when he gets it.


Eyes and ears. Too right about that.

I must say I think that's quite an elegant solution, Malfoy.

That's probably best, I guess.

I read that note out to Fred and George, and they laughed so hard, I thought they might pull something, trying to keep quiet enough no one else would notice. They've gone off to share it with Lee--I'm not sure where he is tonight. Maybe the common room was too noisy for him.

Y'know, I hate this time of year. People get so hacked off about every little thing. But honestly, if you don't know what you've been studying all term, you're not going to learn it all between now and exams. We're better off having a game of chess and keeping things in perspective, yeah?
