Sorry I Missed Your Party, Pansy

[alt_susan]

I wanted to go to Pansy's party last night but I was too tired after my detention.  And  I have to do it until the hols, which isn't that long I suppose.  But the wankers in fourth year who were hexing Wayne got loads more and they deserve it to.

I cant believe they would do something like that to someone in their own House!!   And not just once either!

No wonder he was acting so odd.   I would be too if I was getting hit with Stinging Hexes (and other worse ones) every night.

Professor Sprout says I should have come to her instead of trying to help Wayne hex them back, but Wayne and I both thought that would be grassing and nobody wants to be a grass-up.

She says its not grassing if people are getting hurt and that trying be mean back to that person just makes things worse.  But I don't know if I always agree other Heads of House feel the same way. 

Well at least I know where I'll be when I'm not revising--in the greenhouse, or sleeping.

I just hope Professor Sprout doesn't want any Venomous Tentaculae replanted in the next week or so.  And I hope Mum and Dad won't be too dissappointed in me when I come home.

There will be other parties, but you were missed, so I hope you can come once the holidays are over.

[alt-susan.livejournal.com]

Well I will have finished my detention by then, so I ought to be able to come.

I'm not sure that talking to people has worked awfully well for me lately though.

[alt-pansy.livejournal.com]

So just talk to me, then. Oh, and I have some treats for Valkyrie.

[alt-susan.livejournal.com]

You really missed Alright. We could always talk about music.

And that was marvellous of you to get Valkyrie owl treats--you'll be her new favourite person!

[alt-pansy.livejournal.com]

I like her a lot! I never thought that owls could have personalities but they do, don't they?

Are you looking forward to the holiday?

[alt-susan.livejournal.com]

They do! Valkyrie is mostly nice and good-humoured but sometimes a bit moody--I never thought of it before but I suppose shes rather like me.

Yes! I love the hols and I can't wait to see Mum and Dad and my brothers and sister again. Even though their pests I really do miss them sometimes.

Sounds like you have a good time at the holidays! Do you see all your family?

[alt-susan.livejournal.com]

I havent got a lot of relatives that are living--but we see my Auntie Mina who's like part of my family even though she isn't my real Aunt.

Sometimes we see my Mum's brother and his family but not as often.

I think it would be grassing youre right. Anyway it's just one detention.

[alt-susan.livejournal.com]

Well actualy its a whole week of detention. But your right it's not so bad.

[alt-harry.livejournal.com]

Well but you only got it once, so it only counts once, no matter how much of it there is.

[alt-susan.livejournal.com]

Oh, you mean for House points and such. Thats true.

I just wish people would stop being horrid--first this happened and now somebody's melted Zacharias's cauldron.

[alt-harry.livejournal.com]

Well and with your parents.

Yeah, thats really bad for Zach.

[alt-susan.livejournal.com]

Yea I dont think theyll be too upset since I was trying to help Wayne but I bet theyll say I could've handled it better.

Grownups always say things like that.

I dont understand why people have to be mean for no reason.

[alt-harry.livejournal.com]

Yeah Father always says he's dissapointed in me when things like that happen. That's the worst, I think.

[alt-susan.livejournal.com]

He says

I suppose he has very high standards for you and all.

[alt-harry.livejournal.com]

I suppose.

I'm sorry you got detention. It was really nice of you to try to help Wayne. Did you think it would work? They're fourth years. Fourth years are so far ahead of us. They're almost old enough to be prefects.
