Apr. 27th, 2014 11:58 amHow are you doing after the party? I'm sorry no one caught on earlier than they did.
There was a time that the runes around Wimbourne pitch failed. Instead of keeping their infamous seagulls out, they attracted them. The birds were just throwing themselves at us. Ugliest game I've ever played. I think the team elves just threw out all our kit and made us new ones. So we know that blokes don't always love it when birds throw themselves at us and when you don't want them it's ugly. Back in the day it happened to me more than I care to remember in my now advancing years. But I remember what it's like. If you want to talk about it, or get any suggestions from an old hand on how to handle it, you know where to find me. Any time. We'll go somewhere else or Rory'll clear out.
On a completely different broom, I'm sure you're on Harry's list. I know how close the three of you are so the offer I made to him is really for you and Hydra as well. If you want to talk about it, catch me whenever and we'll talk.

Jan. 9th, 2014 10:49 pmDon't know if you've noticed the new pins some of your seventh years had on. They're a sign they've been entered into a contest for Our Lord's favour, an invitation into the inner circle.
I knew nothing before this morning. Tosha knew nothing. Rod knew nothing and Hydra's been included. Lucius knew nothing before being summoned to Court to be informed that much of his clerk's time will be taken up being a liaison between the competion and Our Lord himself. Each student has a sponsor - all the ones I could suss out are the latest additions to our ranks.
They've been told it will be a difficult and potentially dangerous trial, but glorious. Love, you should know, they've tapped Draco, Hydra, Pansy, Katie Bell, your Linus. Katie's got to be a test of Harry, who is expected to be one of the somewhat secret judges.
We need to talk. Harry's already come to me to talk about trying to keep everyone safe.
He's a better man than me sometimes
Can you come down, or should I wait up?

Jan. 9th, 2014 01:54 pmI saw there was some excitement at breakfast. I imagine it was nothing less than a gob-stopping surprise. An interesting mix of recipients.
Anything you two want to talk about, you know I'm here for you.

Feb. 7th, 2012 07:59 amHey, kid. It's been good to see that you and Draco are mating around again. I could sense that there was some tension there for a few weeks, but I was aiming not to interfere so long as it was just chilliness and not outright hostility. Glad to see that you appear to have things sorted.
Another thing- maybe we could have another look at that egg this week? Overheard some interesting talk between Professors Grubbly-Plank and Brutka. They were debating whether or not the noise that came out of the egg was a Mermish language, and if so, which dialect. Now, it never did occur to me that the noise might be a language, and I've never heard any Mermish, at that. But it gives us something to go on, doesn't it?
How are you coming along with, ah, other things?

Dec. 15th, 2011 08:37 pmHey, kid. That was some impressive dueling today- think you and Draco should both do well on the exam next week, if you keep up like that, with the excellent stances, good, expansive shield spells, and quick-thinking curses. Good show.
You haven't popped by for tea this week, so I thought I'd let you know my door is open, any old time. Heard you might have to go to the Ball with someone other than Cho Chang. Sorry to hear that- I know you were looking forward to getting to know her. And then there's a lot of other pressing things coming up, too, that you might want to talk about.
And say, I was going to ask Draco about this because I can always count on him for a blunt assessment, but I figured you might offer a fairer one. What do you know about Daphne Greengrass? That is to say, I've never had to give her detention before, and didn't think her the type to court it. Is she usually so unpredictable?

Nov. 21st, 2011 10:31 amHey you,
From some of the looks flying between you and Draco (or not flying, since you both seem to be avoiding eye contact) and the absence of Granger, I gather there was a bit of fall-out after the task. Lucius filled me in a bit, too.
I'm sorry that had to happen.
I know a thing or two about wanting to do one thing, but being told you should do another. So if you ever want to have a good whinge some time, I'll put in an ear. Or we could just start preparing for Task 2, if that'd be a better distraction. I don't know how much advise I can give you when it comes to the things your Father demands of you, but I'm always willing to give it a go, just the same.
That's it. Keep your chin up.
