Marks

[alt_susan]

 
I was pretty certain that I didn't do very well on the Potions exam because several of my potions were the wrong colour and a couple of them didn't smell right either, but I didn't think I did that badly.  I almost got a T!  The only reason I didn't was because Zacharias helped me revise, and he's good at coming up with little tricks to make things like lists of ingredients stick in a persons head.  I'm glad he and Ernie did well. 

I guess I had better revise instead of going to Pansy's music party tonight. 

I hope the rest of my marks will be better.

I suppose everyone has things they're good at and things they aren't so good at. I'm just a bit dissapointed in myself is all.

Nobody can get me if they don't know where to find me!

I suppose so. It's unpleasant to be not good at things. But you can get better. And you did better in other subjects.

Ooooh. Me either! It's hard to find places where there's no one at all. I went

But some things I want to be good at because I care about them myself, and other things are because I feel like I should.

But you're right--Professor Sprout is always reminding us that we can do better if we work hard, and she is one of the wisest people I know.

Is potions because you think you should?

I don't think that's why I want to be good at things. I want to be good at things because it's fun! At least, being good at AK is fun. So far. I'm hardly ever good at anything. But I got a prefect! She was really nice about it too.

Trying to be good at potions is because otherwise people would think I couldn't. And I can. At least, I can be sort of good. And not fail.

Professor Sprout is the nicest professor. I think she's the best, too.
