Charms!

[alt_susan]

I got an O on my Charms exam!  It almost balances out that awful P in Potions.   I'm trying to revise more for the subjects I don't like this term, instead of just the ones that I do.

But it's so much nicer to revise when I'm actually interested in the subject.  Sometimes I wish Hogwarts had classes in music or writing stories or that sort of thing. But then other times I think it might take the fun out of them. 

Imagine if you had to read novels and then write 13 inches of  parchment about them for lessons!

Hogwarts has choir. I forgot! I was going to find out what you have to do to be in the choir.

I think it'd be fun to write about stories. At least, it'd be fun to read the stories. As long as they were good stories. But what could you write about them? They're already made up.

Writing about books?? That would be aweful!! I'd rather do Potions anyday!

I dont think I'd like reading any more books than I already have to, Bones.

We could ask Professor Sprout! I'm sure she wouldnt mind.

The reading part would definitely be the most fun! I don't know about the writing part though. That's why I thought it might take all the fun out.

I always have lots to say about books when I talk about them with people. If I liked the main person in the book or didn't, that sort of thing.

But you like Potions Ernie! Or at least it seems like you do.

I feel like I ought to like the subject because Professor Slughorn is a good teacher and nice, but I simply dont.

But reading story books is loads different to reading The Standard Book of Spells or some old text about the Goblin Rebellions or something.

I guess I can see how you might rather do things than read about them though.

We could!

Do you think anyone would be interested in that? In writing. It's not like the five uses of aconite. Those are true. And useful. Talking about books is just talking. Because books of stories aren't really true.

I like reading novels but I don't think I'd want to have to write 13 inches about them afterwards, I think that would suck all the fun out of it really.
