Private Message to Linus and Harry

[alt_justin]

Chaps,

I say, good show today! Well done with the maps, Moon, and thanks for assuming the risk of taking point for most of the afternoon.

I'm well surprised we made it through the whole course, what! Well, I say 'we' but the rest of you did, at any rate. That MLE bloke seemed to know just where I'd be. Harry, lucky we switched bags when we did. There were--what--fifteen, altogether?

Harry, I'll have a word with Macmillan, shall I, about all the Apparation horror stories? I think they're putting Greengrass off her game. Patil didn't seem bally well happy with him, either--particularly after Zabini's incident this morning, what!

Thanks, mate. Good thing both of us could Apparate. That last leg was hard without you.

And yeah, I think you're the best one to let him know. I mean, he doesn't seem worried, but Daphs did seem sort of nervous when he was talking about it.

[alt_justin]

No, not at all, happy to do it. I say, it's quite amazing what a good night's sleep will do for one, what?

But all that bally old Apparating today.... I expect we'll sleep well again, tonight, as well!

[alt_linus]

If that is indeed the case, then I certainly hope I manage to Apparate soon, as I am beset with insomnia tonight, drat it all. Whatever we do tomorrow, I hope I can keep up, as I shall no doubt be quite tired in the morning if sleep does not come to me soon.

Thank you for the kind word on the mapwork; it was my pleasure to be useful. The map overlay spell was something Professor Siz taught me during detentions, when she had me finding and marking discrepancies on astronomy charts. Very handy little spell indeed, as it turns out.

I believe Ernie may be proving that knowledge and wisdom are not the same thing. Having gotten more than one correction on that subject over the past year, I do feel for him, and hope you manage to instill some thoughtful consideration for his fellows without making him abashed regarding his copious store of anecdote upon what is, after all, a subject of great importance to us.

And I say, anything that keeps Patil from scowling so is probably worth doing, for all our sakes. Unless you mean to send her and Zabini back to Ron, what? She was bally well sucking lemons when Macmillan told that anecdote about the wizard who Apparated half of himself into a brick wall, what, and I thought she meant to hex him when he described the witch who Apparated to sea! He's a good chap but sometimes a bit oblivious, what.

At any rate, it's an easy enough thing to point out that he was frightening the ladies. He'll come round.

Not sure if I will. I mean, she and Zabini make for a pretty good pair when they're getting along. And they agree to most of the things we sort out, and don't go off to do their own thing, even though they aren't happy about it.

If you had to, who would you say isn't pulling weight?
