Does anyone have an owl they can lend me?

All the school owls are gone because the Ministry is using them, and I don't have one of my own.

I really want to send an owl to my father.

Lying that he's a half-blood, you mean? Or lying about him having the muggle paralysis?

I don't have any idea whether he's could have been a half-blood without even knowing it. I suppose that's the sort of thing that could take anyone by surprise...I mean, who ever really knows all the secrets there might be in a family? As to whether he's really sick with the paralysis--well, Mrs Weasley said to Luna that it wasn't it, when she sent him to St Mungo's. I dunno, d'ye think she could have been fibbing a little, just to keep Lovegood from getting too scared? I don't really know her well enough to say.

(Did you hear Lavender Brown going on and on about Lovegood at dinner, Ron? About how she always should have suspected Luna was that sort, with the odd way she acts all the time. I thought for a moment there that Ginny was going to hit her.)

Lying that he's a half-blood. I don't know why they'd lie about him having the muggle paralysis. I mean he's a pureblood and EVERYONE knows he's a pureblood and surely we're not the only ones reading Mr Selwyn's announcements and thinking they're lying and this means really purebloods can get it. If he didn't even have it then why would they say he did?

Did Finnigan say anything to Brown? I mean he's a halfblood too even if Patil fancies him.

He wasn't sitting nearby. Luckily. That would have started a brawl at the Gryffindor table for sure, and not even Professor Lockhart could have ignored that.

Lavender's the one who acts like an eejit all the time if you ask me. I mean, okay, yeah. Luna's daft. But I'd take her any day over Lavyloo if I had to choose one of them to share a train compartment with or something.

I am trying to think of anyone I would LESS want to share a train compartment with than Lavender Brown.

Oh I thought of one: Lana Sandoval. But in our year, I think Lav is the bottom of the barrel. I mean Patil is horrid but at least she's clever enough to have interesting things to say.

I don't really see that Patil's being clever makes her better. It just makes her more foul.

It doesn't make her better but it makes her more interesting company if I were going to be stuck with her in a train compartment.

Brown is just as foul AND she's dull.
