The Luck o'the Irish

Beautiful day, isn't it? Seems almost a shame we have to start classes again tomorrow.

~DEAN

Talked to Lav over break. We, um, worked some things out.

It's rather brilliant, mate.

~LAV

Want to go for a walk before dinner?

~Warded Away From Parents and Professors

I love my family, I really do, but I just found out that not only are we having a family party on Thursday for my sister's eleventh birthday - which I was really looking forward to - but my parents have also agreed to let her have a massive party with her friends, including a sleepover, the following Saturday. Finnigan Farms will be awash in giggling eleven year olds who'll all want to play with the cows and probably let them loose which I'll somehow get blamed for.

Anyone up for doing something next weekend that will get me away from there?

~Private to Lav

So, d'you know anything more about this date thing we're supposed to be doing with Dean and Ginny? I keep seeing bits and pieces of conversations over the journals...but I don't know that there's a plan yet. Dean mentioned seeing some Quidditch or going for food in London...I think we're leaning toward the latter. What do you think?

End Ward

I'll definitely need to brush up on my dueling skills when break is over. Probably will join the dueling club. If I'm serious about this Hit Wizard business, I'll need to do far better than my sorry showing in the tournament.

Warded to Dean

Yeah, I don't think I'll be making any big confessions to Lav anytime soon.

"Shay is just my BMF."

"You can be friends with boys without wanting more."

"I flirt with everyone, but it's just like, friendly or whatever. I'm not after anything, it's just how I act."

I knew I was reading too much into everything. It's probably better if I try to forget how I feel and just focus on being a good friend to her.

Private to Self

Well, shite.

Seriously? The Cannons? Again?

Anthony

Does that offer of Guinness still stand? I think we need to mourn this tragic loss properly.

Dean

Resolved the weirdness with Lav, which is good. But I think I might fan-

Do you think it will wreck our friendship if-

Yep. Good.

You want to practice for the dueling tournament later?

[Warded to all sixth and seventh year Gryffs except Ron]

Weasley's really hacked off at me. As in really hacked off. Now he'll never suspect that we'll be throwing him a party Thursday. My work here is done, mates.

Has everybody got everything lined up?

[Warded to Harry, Neville, Dean, Ginny, Hermione, Lavender, and Parvati]

Alrighty...our fine young Ronald will soon be turning eighteen. Anyone up for planning a bit of a celebratory bash?

C'mon...you know you all want to.

[End Ward]

Kestrels are on the wireless this Thursday at 7:00 - anyone want to listen with me? Their chances against Portree ought to be pretty good and it's promising to be an exciting match. Ought to be a good way to unwind if I ever get this Transfiguration homework done.

[Warded to all Gryffindor Seventh Year Boys]

Fergus just sent me two bottles of Ogden's Finest, gentlemen.

Pre-match shots at 6:30? Trust me, you don't want to miss out!
