Mid-week tea
Sep. 17th, 2008 07:35 pmMother and Father came to the castle today. Father had important business to discuss with Headmistress McGonagall first, and while they were busy at that Harry and I had a chance to show Mother our dormitory and common room. She likes that we're both so neat, but we'd tidied up a bit just for her. Still, you'll not find any mouldering chocolate frogs under our beds, that's for certain.
Then we had tea with Father and Mother, and there were some of my favourite things to eat, like pheasant sausages and seaside cheddar, and scones and cream for a proper tea. I ate so much that I didn't have any room left in me at supper tonight. But I do think it was worth it, for it was nice to talk to Mother and Father in person instead of by Owl or in these books. Father wanted to know all about our discoveries in the castle, so I told him how we ran into Moaning Myrtle on the third floor several nights ago. I think he found it strange that we were so unsettled by the sight of her, seeing as the whole castle is swimming with ghosts, but it is awfully strange to see a ghost who's your own age, and one who is such a persistent moaner, at that. We also told him how we had found out that mudblood blood is red, and then he laughed and said something about the curiosity of youth, and then told us we ought to be less unsanitary in the future. There was enough time before they left for Harry to show them his new Nimbus 2000.
And then Mother said that she'll get me one just like it for Christmas!
How many days are left until Christmas?
