Good news!

I've been named as Head Girl for the next school year. The titles have not, as we feared, gone to Seamus and Padma. Linus Moon is Head Boy, and he ought to be easy enough to work with. He's very much all bluster and Byron, but is decidedly not someone who will go around Cruciating firsties. The worst I anticipate from him is getting in the way. Oh, and the fact that Padma has a history of manipulating him for her own agenda is something else to watch out for, to say nothing of his boot-licking worship of Headmaster Dolohov. If I can stay on good terms with Padma, then hopefully Moon's friendship with her won't be a problem.

One thing I am uncertain about is what role Head Boy and Girl will fill now that three (student) council members will be at school? Surely they must outrank the Head Boy and Head Girl, but to what extent are they expected to enforce school rules and policy? Hydra, do you know? If not, I suppose this is probably a good question to bring to the Headmaster.

I think the sooner we sort that out, the better. And I think Dolohov would support you, to a point. Not sure what he'd do if council business overlapped, like it did with Sophie, though.

I really don't like how poetic and over-wrought Moon is, so I was kind of mean to him.

It's just irritating to see someone so far removed from reality.

I'm glad that the Head Girl is one of us. Congratulations, Daphne.

Congratulations, indeed.

As to Linus Moon - oh. Well. After the fiasco with the entirely unauthorised duelling, he was serving detentions with me and with Tosha, and I spent mine attempting to introduce him to common sense in between having him help with some detailed analysis.

It is a rather large task in his case, but he does generally listen to me if I can get hold of him before he does something idiotic. It's the 'before' that's the tricky part. And the part where he is easily lead by the things he thinks praiseworthy.

He is excellent at - and easily absorbed by - detailed analysis, so if you wish him to not interfere in something, coming up with a project that requires focused attention to minute details would do nicely.

Daphne,

Congratulations and, may I say, it's by far the right choice to name you. Here's hoping you can keep Moon's effusive obliviousness at bay and that Patil's self-centred absorption remains entirely ineffectual.

Good show, you!

That's really the best news all summer. Maybe this year won't be a dead loss after all. Anywiz, you'll be brilliant.

Good.

You heartily deserve it.
