Hullo,

I say, I'm sorry I wasn't able to revise yesterday afternoon. I trust it needs little explanation, after that disastrous Charms lesson, what?

I do hope neither of you are still suffering any after-effects. Luckily for me, Madam Pomfrey anticipated that I might need an alternative to Pepper-Up at some point this term, what, and she had concocted a preparation for me. Unfortunately, it bally well knocked me flat for almost eighteen hours! I slept straight through luncheon and supper both.

But I thought we answered Professor Dolohov's questions well enough this morning, regardless, what? I'm happy to work together on Wednesday if you like. This Friday I do have plans, however.

You know, Malfoy used to have this mad theory that Longbum was secretly learning all sorts of Auror stuff from his parents, you know, over the holidays? And that he was really a spy and that all his clumsiness and being all naff at things was just a big act.

It's utterly mad to think of him learning anything, let alone learning it from his parents, but maybe he has some of their books and all.

I remember Malfoy saying that Longbottom was just faking being a clumsy idiot and really he was a lot cleverer than anyone suspected and not to be trusted.

I THOUGHT that was mad.

Maybe his boggart was just less upsetting than everyone else's? I wasn't the only one who couldn't get rid of it, Weasley couldn't either.

From:

Maybe. Well, I hope Finch-Fletchley has to face a Boggart sometime and we'll see how smug he is about it then.

Anyway, what were their Boggarts? You never said. Or did you all swear not to tell anyone? 'What happens in Gryffindor Tower stays in Gryffindor Tower' or something.

I didn't get a good look at Thomas's. Weasley saw Perks having a seizure or something. Maybe he was seeing her get cruciated? I don't know. I barely got a look at Longbottom's but it was an older man in a chair who looked really cross. And then he threw a pie in its face and that worked.

From:

alt_padma

Well, there, that explains why it was easy. I mean, from what I hear Weasley should have bigger fears than Perks getting Cruciated, but it's hard to make that ~~funnier~~ funny.

And obviously whatever Longbottom's afraid of pales in comparison to your nightmare. So it's no wonder you had trouble. Also, you probably never expected yours, so it took you by surprise.
