First week back
Apr. 18th, 2013 11:37 pmHullo, Friends,
I say, I don't know about anyone else but I feel as if we ought to have some sort of celebratory pat on the back for getting through our first week back at school. Holidays are meant to relax and rejuvenate, what, but this past holiday was anything but that for me or for most of us, I expect. And now to be back here.... Well, if one must be honest, the tension was growing thick before we left for Easter and now it's jolly well palpable.
Pansy, well done for exhibiting restraint in the face of extreme adversity. And Sally-Anne, I say, you showed bravery and fortitude under the gaze of the whole of the rest of school. You always joke about Gryffindors but you could have fit right into their Common Room this week. To have endured such treatment--and on your birthday, too, what--well, if this were any other place I'd say that deserves a stiff drink.
Capper, don't worry: I'm sure the swelling will go down before you have to do too much writing. And Miss Rubens, I've heard that Myrtle quite likes company, so if you're cleaning her bathroom you might try engaging her in conversation. You may have to put up with rather more in the way of complaint than dialogue, what, but then she has so few people to talk to.
Now, if Peeves will kindly keep his chewing gum out of Hopkins' toothpaste tube, we may bally well be able to enjoy the weather this weekend and start revising for our O.W.L.s in the fresh air, at least!
