This Week...

[alt_ginny]

Has already started to get pretty nasty.
 
I thought every thing was going well, when I received correspondence from Purest Sparkle this morning, alerting me that my entry into the Summer contest had been received, and that I was in the running for one of the prizes and to wish me luck. I am told that the winners will be contacted just before school ends.

Well that part was great, but would things go as smoothly as I planned? Oh no...

All I wanted was advice from my big brother about which electives I should take for next term, and I got my head chewed off, for nothing. Its ok. I only approached Percy, because he was the hardest working student I know, and I valued his opinion. But I guess his opinion is not needed. I have turned in my selections for electives for next term and they include the following:

Ancient Runes
Arithmancy
Dark Arts

I am looking forward to next year already.

I am also looking forward to my exam marks as well. I started revising early, and I am sure I will do well.
I hope every one is doing well, in spite of last week. I know this time for all of us is hard, especiallty for those in Hufflepuff. I have tried to keep quiet about it, but I want to let you all know that I know she will be missed.

I look forward for the summer hols to begin, so that we may all move forward, and have a bit of happiness.

That wasn't 'nothing.' Ordinarily we'd back you up whenever you're squaring off against Percy. But in this case? No. You know, when you run as many pranks as we do, you get a good sense of timing.

That was colossally bad timing, little sis.

That being said...we like Runes. A lot. You'd be surprised what a help they can be. Also, Brutka with Care of Magical Creatures is brilliant.

This wasn't about timing. It wasn't a bloody prank. This was about my academic career. I understand he's going through a tough time right now. But Percy, no matter how much you guys prank him, is the best student in the school. I wasn't trying to square off. I just needed advice.

Doesn't matter anymore- my mind is made up.

Yeah. Runes is loads more interesting than I thought when I signed up.

The end of term project was a monster, though.

Creatures is completely snitch. Too bad you're not taking it. The only bad part is that they still haven't said what they're going to do with the hippogriff, and it'd be a huge shame if they put him down for what he did.

Oh, the contest. Almost forg Good to know that they found your submission acceptable.

Arithmancy is a real challenge, and that paired with Runes and Dark Arts will be a lot of work, but looks impressive in the long run if you can manage to get reasonably good marks. I've enjoyed Creatures - mostly - but have some regrets about missing out on Runes. Thinking of asking my Uncle for a few of his books on Runes to read over the summer.

Thank you for the advice. If you find any Interesting titles, please do let me know. I didn't say anything when it happened, I didn't want to invade your privacy, but I really hope your Mum is well. Mrs Malfoy looked stunning as usual the quiditch match.
