Choosing our roles

[alt_daphne]

I find that it's a terrible shame that one of my own house has been so publicly reprimanded, especially in front of our guests! I would like to express to the students of Beauxbatons and Durmstrang that it's not at all common for Slytherin to make such trouble - in fact, it's not all that common for students of any one particular house to make such trouble. But unfortunate events do happen from time to time; I for one hope that the individual in question will learn from his mistakes and do his best to remedy the impression he's made.

Cards certainly are popular this year, aren't they? I enjoy portkey or snap as much as anyone, but the trouble is that it only really works for smaller groups, doesn't it? Now a game like charades, for instance, can have as many people playing as you like. And no matter what you might think, there is quite a bit of bluffing involved. You just have to look at it the right way. Almost all of life is a performance, isn't it? Think of the way you speak to your professors, and the way you speak to your closest friend, and you'll soon see what I mean.

Oh, I don't know what I'm on abo

Christmas! I know it's still over a month off, but the smell of it's already in the air, don't you agree?

And it's hard to believe that the First Task is almost upon us! Go, Harry! I just know you'll do our house proud!

If I EVER catch you trying to peek at my private mail again, or lurking behind me in an attempt to read my journal over my shoulder, I will LITERALLY HEX YOUR FACE OFF.

THAT'S RIGHT. WHERE YOUR FACE ONCE WAS THERE WILL BE NOTHING BUT A GREAT QUIVERING PALE BLOB UTTERLY ABSENT OF ANY DISTINGUISHABLE FEATURES! YOU WILL BE LIKE A PUDDING WITH LEGS.

I MEAN IT!!

Blaise,

I know you're off studying right now and I should be too, but I just can't concentrate on anything. Mother finally, finally answered my letters and oh, you won't believe it, but she finally admitted everything! Only it wasn't just that she admitted to it, she fully confessed. It.. it didn't even sound like her! If it hadn't been for her penmanship, I might have thought it all an elaborate joke. And the things that she wrote, well...I thought she might quickly admit things and then go on about flower arrangements and shop openings, but she didn't. She told me much, much more than I ever expected.
