Things

[alt_luna]

Things welcome in the bottom of a bookbag
A new quill, uncrushed
Fresh parchment
Last Tuesday's essay for Charms class, with the big red 'E' at the top.

Things not welcome in the bottom of a bookbag
Jam toast from breakfast


Things welcome in the common room
Crumpets and a crumpet fork
A chess board with all the chess pieces
The nubby purple afghan with the singe mark in the corner

Things not welcome in the common room
Loud conversations when others are trying to revise
Farts


Things seen every day at Hogwarts
Ghosts
Chalkboards
Girls crying over their potions or charms essays

Things rarely seen at Hogwarts, if ever
Orange marmalade
Gurdyroot tea
Celtziggles (they hate the smell of chalk)

You always do make me laugh. In a good way, though.

Hope our housemates are treating you right.

It's a shame she isn't in the same House with Evelyn. Because I bet they'd be pretty good friends.

I wonder if she'd fit in better in Gryffindor than she does in Ravenclaw, or if she's mad enough that it wouldn't really matter where she was?

That's a jolly clever way of putting things, Lovegood. Almost like poetry.

Though now you've got me wanting some marmalade. Bother!
