A note of interest
It becomes infinitely more difficult to think of interesting topics to write about when one is told that they must post interesting topics on a weekly basis. It also has the unfortunate side-effect of making one ponder all sorts of peculiar things about rules and obedience and their limits versus their usefulness. I think there might well be a way to proof the outcome using arithmancy, but I haven't yet had time to try.
But I'm hardly one to disobey rules. However, it might be a good communal activity if we all put our heads together and thought of a list of topics that we can easily access, should some of us find ourselves floundering for something to write about, but remain eager to put our best selves forward. This should at least hold us over until we receive the essay prompts that have been promised to us.
Topics
1) Make a list of things to write about (this is today's topic)
2) What's happening in the world of quidditch? (a bit predictable, but acceptable for those who are grasping)
3) New London: What are its best and worst parts? (especially useful for those of you condemned to the country)
4) Ghosts: a menace to wizarding society, or sage mentors with much wisdom to offer? (Professor Binns excluded, of course)
5) Upcoming seasonal fashions (and are the hem-lengths on women's robes becoming rather scandalous?)
6) On that note: what sort of colours and/or clothing styles should one avoid if they have a rather unfortunate body shape? (I may not need this advice, but I feel I can provide it)
7) Aside from service, what are the virtues one ought to most foster in him or herself? (and is it ever wise to nurture a vice?)
8) Which creature is more useful: kneazle or owl? (or, for those who are concerned: which makes for better company?)
9) What should the title of the new Weird Sisters album be? (And when will they ever release it?)
10) And so on...
Well then, what other topics would the rest of you lot add to the list?

Private message to Granger (and Harry)

Re: Private message to Granger (and Harry)
Which wouldn't look particularly good for you, or for me.
Re: Private message to Granger (and Harry)
Why would anyoneIf you're worried about people rooting through my cubby then you could set the example and not go in there, yourself.
It's hard enough that there's no lockIt would have been just as easy to tell me you'd left something for me to take care of on your sidetable. Or Harry's.
Re: Private message to Granger (and Harry)
And, at that particular moment, I wasn't in the mood to talk to you and let you know that there was something I'd left for you on my sidetable.
If you don't want the books then just give them back. Put them on my sidetable. I'll find time to read them myself.
Re: Private message to Granger (and Harry)
And I didn't say I didn't want them, either.
Is something wrong? I mean, are you upset about something?
Re: Private message to Granger (and Harry)
If the books don't help, let me know. I'll find something else.
