Just Because...

[alt_ginny]

I pass out does not mean I am pregnant. For Merlin's sake! The rumours you all create are wild. It seems many of you do not know how to be creative without befouling people's names. And the others I have heard of are just as mad.

Thank you to those of you who were concerned.

Miss Weasley -

I'm glad to hear you're much better.

Please don't feel you need come to class tonight, if you need the additional time to rest. I'm quite sure it will be cloudy tonight, so it'd be a simple matter to catch you up with the projections we'll be using at some later date.

And more delicately, Madame Pomfrey had a word with me about the kind of example I've been setting for students through my own actions and choices.

Working hard is admirable (and very much a part of my nature, as it is clearly yours). But several people near me have also brought it home that one can only continue to do one's best work if one takes adequate time for rest, for relaxation, and for time with friends or hobbies. And I'll admit here that I've seen a difference in my own magical work since I've started paying more attention to that advice again, these past two weeks or so.

I won't say more than that here, but if you ever do want to talk about finding ways to better balance your goals, I'm certainly glad to offer what advice I can or help you find other resources who can help.

[alt_ginny]

Thank you Professor, I appreciate your concern. I don't want to fall further behind, so I shall come tonight. How ever I will consider taking you up on that offer to talk. I think that would be very helpful indeed.

[alt_ron]

You out of the infirmary, then, Gin?

Hope you're feeling more yourself.

[alt_ginny]

Yes, I'm fine now. Didn't mean to worry anyone. I will make sure ii take better care. I can't believe I've missed a day and a half of lesson. That's not on, and it won't happen again.

Well, yeah. Let us know if there's something that would help. The twins and me, I mean.

Honoria Sandoval seems quite nice. I hadn't really talked to her before, but we were in the waiting room for a while together. She thought maybe you'd been doing loads of work in the middle of the night. Said she wakes up sometimes and you're not there and not in the loo, either.

Are you having a rough go with some of your subjects? Cause like I said, one of us could probably help if you needed it.

Re: Private Message to Gin

[alt_ginny]

I don't need help, but thanks. I think I study more than anyone but Percy. I'm just making sure my work schedule doesn't knock me out from being among the top of my year. I have been making sure I have mastered the material, even if it cuts the number of hours of sleep I get.

And I won't stop modelling. Mum already thinks I should rethink my contract. I can handle the pressure. I know I can.

Private Message to Draco Malfoy and Teddy Nott

[alt_blaise]

Well. I guess we're all on notice, then.

Would you have thought GWeasley might get herself knocked up? Really, what are the chances?

Re: Private Message to Draco Malfoy and Teddy Nott

[alt_draco]

Ha, yes, I think the implication was more that she'd fallen prey to some lecherous photographer - aren't they all shift-lifters, though?

And didn't she once screech at you for writing PMs to me in her journal? I'm surprised she hasn't said anything about it yet.

I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good: Private message to Pansy

Think I should tell her that my first thought was 'possessed' rather than 'up the duff'?

Private message to Ginevra Weasley

[alt_percy]

Ginny....that is NOT the way to put such appalling rumours to rest. Don't you realise you draw further attention to such lies by repeating them in such a public manner?

Honestly, Gin. Have some sense.

Re: Private message to Ginevra Weasley

[alt_percy]

Oh.

And I hope and trust you are feeling more the thing.

Re: Private message to Ginevra Weasley

[alt_ginny]

I suppose you are right. I just got really upset. Which is not hard to do around here.

I will keep your advice in mind in the future.
Sorry Percy

Re: Private message to Ginevra Weasley

[alt_percy]

Well, naturally, who wouldn't be upset by such a horrid rumour? I'm sorry you've been subjected to nonsense like that. But sometimes a dignified silence IS the best response, strategically, I mean.

Re: Private message to Ginevra Weasley

[alt_ginny]

Yes, I know. You are right. You won't here a word contrary to that from me.

Private message to Ginny Weasley

[alt_molly]

Oh my goodness, Ginny.

You are feeling better? Your father and I have been most concerned. Did Madam Pomfrey have any idea why you had that little spell?

Dear, we might have to give some serious thought as to whether you should really be doing this modelling if it's going to run you down like this.

Re: Private message to Ginny Weasley

[alt_ginny]

I fine mum. I promise. I suppose, I wasn't being completely honest with myself. I promise you that I will try to balance better. But I refuse to let my studies fall behind. I have much to catch up on now. But I won't stay up all night. And I'm not needed in New London for a few weeks. I will get the needed rest. I love you, and please give dad my love.

Private Message to Ginny

[alt_penelope]

Good to see you posting again, Ginny.

Please know that the prefects have been tamping down whatever rumours people have been so rude as to spread. If you continue to have trouble, please feel free to come to me or any of the other prefects.

Re: Private Message to Ginny

[alt_ginny]

Thanks Penelope.

I think all will be well, but I will let someone know if there is something I can't handle.
