Most of the decorations for Draco's birthday party are still hanging up in the common room.

I can't think of anyone else to ask for help in taking them down, and I'd prefer not to do it alone.

Everyone's staring at me

Was that YOU I just caught sight of on the turning staircase to the 2nd floor? I surely hope not, only those robes, it must -


WHAT DID YOU DO, MILLI?!? WE HAD YOU LOOKING PERFECT AS YOU CAN BE AND WHAT HAVE YOU DONE???

I can't say I've experienced a leaving feast like that before, and, lovely as parts of it were, I hope I never have to again.

Bones, that song you sang for Abbott was wonderfully moving. I know it brought tears to my eyes, and I'm sure I saw quite a few others daubing away at their faces, too. I also must say that your voice sounded as beautiful as I've ever heard it. Who is it that you train with, again? And Pansy, you wrote the song, didn't you? Well done and good show.

And now there's just a few of us left behind in the castle. It's strange and a little unnerving. I look forward to the trials, and expect to do well, but this place just feels so very haunted. Maybe because the ghosts actually outnumber the living for once!

Ginny - I was so happy for you, to hear that you won a prize in the Purest Sparkle contest! Now, I believe that spa you'll be going to is New Glow in Knightsbridge, isn't it? Right on Brompton Road? Why that's not far from Belgravia at all. In any case, and so long as YPL doesn't interfere, we should meet at New Glow when you go in for your spa treatment! You can show me all your new robes and things then, too.

Now, for all my fellow castle-haunters, what shall we get up to this weekend? More races and chin-ups and whatnot? I hope we can squeeze in a fun, social thing or two, as well!
