I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up to No Good: Obliviation

The twins did the Obliviation after breakfast.

I was right at the end of the hall because I'd had to give Ernie the signal, but it just occurred to me that I should write and let everyone know, since they wouldn't necessarily run into everyone to pass it on verbally. So we needn't worry about loose ends.

Ernie thinks we were just talking about Quidditch and prefect things, and that he had a bit of bad beef at dinner last night.

I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good: Well, That Didn't Go So Well.

Looks like we're going to need the twins' Charms expertise after all. But it's not an emergency; Iwe didn't misjudge him that badly, he's not going to run off and betray us to Umbridge.

But it should probably get done by tomorrow, and earlier would be better than later. I gave him a signal, and if I flash it, he'll follow me off into some deserted corner and we can get it taken care of.

He requested it.

He likes the idea of the galleons, in theory, but he has reasons--family reasons--for feeling like he can't get anywhere near it. He's scared his family could end up like the Fleets. His secrets aren't for me to tell since he's not joining, but even though Ernie can be a tad, well, paranoid, in this case I think he probably has cause to be.

But he doesn't want to betray us either; if I or anyone else ever gets caught, he wants to be able to say with absolute truthfulness than he didn't know a thing about it.

Charms!

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!
