Various notes

It's been a full week back, that's to be said. Along with all the talk about the Triwizard announcement, a lot of people have been asking me if I can teach them to speak French. All I can say to that is that if I had that kind of free time, I'd be some kind of professor or something. But for those of you that already have SOME kind of conversational knowledge of the language, I was thinking of forming a weekend afternoon group where we can just practise talking to each other while drinking tea or something. I'm a bit rusty myself, but when she was here I spoke to my Aunt Amanda almost entirely in French, so I've already gotten some good practise in in the last few weeks.

Along those lines, me and the lads on the Slytherin quidditch team have agreed that it'll be important to keep up with our flying, even with quidditch cancelled for the year. If any of the other house teams want to arrange some impromptu pick-up matches, talk to me or Harry or anyone else on the Slytherin team.

Has anyone else noticed how much nicer the food is at school, compared to last year? The elves must have stepped up their efforts, now that we'll be hosting guests. Or maybe they're getting better food and ingredients - anyway, something's definitely different.

Oh for Lakshmi's sake! They think they're so clever, don't they?

Well, that explains why Corner was so quick to tell me it was nothing. And why Linus is blushing every time he looks up from his book (which isn't all that often but still).

The worst thing is, we can't even wipe the smug looks off their faces by forming our own girls-only club, because then they'll assume we're doing nothing but talking about them the whole time!

Boys.

But we must indulge them in their delusions, if we're to stay one step ahead!

I think we should form a girls club, yes. And spend every session doing laps, pull-ups, and all the other things we learned in CCF. How baffled they'd be, to see us sweating and fighting while they're all getting together to gossip like old ninnies!

Which isn't to say that we can't talk about them while we're doing laps. Heh.

That's a brilliant idea, actually! I've been finding it quite difficult to keep up with all the exercises this week but we really ought not to slip.

Yes, let's! Especially if these teas keep catching on - Tea of the Strange, French Tea, boys' teas - we'll be loads ahead of the others who spend their time just pigging out.

We should arrange it so that it's going on at the exact say time as the boys' club, too!

This will be perfectly delightful, I think.

Right. You tell yours; I'll tell mine. Parvati can tell the Gryffindors and you can have Milli or Parkinson tell the Hufflepuff girls.
