Paper Clippings
Oct. 22nd, 2009 01:16 pmThis week I have had some extra time on my hands. Thanks to all the extra studying on the weekends, I can stay ahead on the subject matter. So it is fairly east for me to complete assignments quickly because I know where to find the information I need. I must say I am doing very, very well so far. So with the extra time, I decided to make a scrap book of all the happenings here at Hogwarts during my first year. I was able to save clippings from The Daily Prophet this week that mentioned some of the recent events here. (Don't worry Ron, I don't want any of your friends autographs.)
Also, I have noticed that Dean hasn't had a chance to go to the library to finish looking for his dad in the annuals. Dean, I hope you don't mind, but I took the liberty of looking for you. Assuming you are your father's first and only child, and doing some guess work based on my parents ages ( assuming your dad was a bit younger then they are) and subtracting you age, I was able to narrow it down to 5 or 6 volumes that your dad might have been in when he started. And I have good news, I found him.
If you would like to meet up sometime, I can show you which volume his first year is in. Then you can look through the following 6 books to gain a complete picture of what he was like during his time here. Maybe from there you can do some math and match up dates to see what you can find in old society sections of the paper and see if you can trace them further back. I hope this helps you to establish your identity as a wizard.
Yesterday, even though I hadn't signed up for it, I decided to go to the history club meeting. I don't think anyone saw me sneak into the back. Sorry Padma, I hope you don't mind. And I would like to come again if there is enough room at add another person to the group. I found the discussion extremely interesting, and even though it was a year "over my head", I found it fairly easy to keep up.
I was even able to take notes and everything. I love the setup too. Anything that allows a free exchange of facts and ideas, also allows for the progression of knowledge to take place, and I thought it was wonderful. I hope to go to the next meeting, if I am allowed. Padma, please let me know if there is space. Thanks!
Mum, how are things going at home? Did you get the owl I sent with the socks and hats?
Luna, shall we meet at the lake again after breakfast on Saturday? And were you able to repeat the mistake and make the hat for me, like yours? I really liked yours.
Well I better get a jump start on some more reading. I am in the library if anyone needs me.
