New Week

[alt_susan]

I feel like my brain is going to explode if I revise any more! I hope this parchment is good enough, because I've been staring at it so long I've practically gone cross-eyed.

But I'm not complaining, we've had loads of fun things going on, like revue practise and YPL and most especially Hogsmeade.

Somehow being out in the village feels different from being in the castle, even if you're seeing the same people. We're less divided by House or year, and sometimes you can be surprised by a conversation with someone you've never really talked to much before, as well as having familiar good times with old House friends and others.

And of course, it brings out everyone's high spirits: whoever slipped Hiccup Sweets into my Honeydukes order had better watch his their back--I have a Nose-Biting Teacup and I'm not afraid to use it!

Yes, you are quite right. Being surprised by a conversation with someone with whom one has not previously conversed much can indeed be a bright spot, regardless of what else might be occurring on the day in question.

[alt_susan]

True!

It's funny you should mention, because I don't know that we have ever really talked much, outside of prefects' meetings.

[alt_linus]

We haven't, have we? Not in casual conversation, as it were.

Perhaps you'd like to come along for butterbeer too next Hogsmeade weekend.

I really enjoyed talking with you on Saturday.

I was going to say that it's strange that we've never talked before, but I suppose it isn't that strange, since we're in different Houses and different years.

But anyhow, it was great to meet you properly.
