Haha, I'd bet! I think they're sweet on one another, at least a little, Professors Lestrange and Sinistra, I mean. and I think it's awfully romantic.
The duelling club will be ace. I'm pants at it, but it's still fun to try, and cheer on other people.
It's funny, isn't it, how we could experience the same thing so differently? I remember I kept feeling like I wanted to laugh the whole time, and there you were, worried about the rest of us. And what's more, when we were all out there together, I felt like it was the first time in a long time that I didn't feel weighted down with dread. Maybe because I knew you were there to keep me safe. Or because I didn't have to dwell on all the things I was worried about, and could focus on doing something instead.
And maybe your mum isn't terribly keen because she didn't study it herself? Or she doesn't see it as having the same sort of merit as a more classic instrument? But if you keep it as something for fun and don't make noises about becoming the next Rhys Morgan, I'll bet she'll be fine. And it would be brilliant to work out the song together. I've been stuck on the chorus for ages, and I don't want to show it to you just yet until I've had a chance to work on it some more first, but if I keep getting stuck, I might need help getting unstuck, so there's that.
And it was fun to try out the chords. It made my fingers hurt, though, and just after trying a few! You must have to build up calluses or something with practice. Either that, or I'm quite a baby when it comes to manual labour.
