Sorry, I'm in a bit of a bad mood a because I watched HPDHP2 a few hours ago and I'm sad and a little bit embarrassed because apparently, it's not normal to shout at the screen correcting McGonagall on the pronunciation of Voldemort. I am wearing a gender-bend Doctor Who costume (Black shorts, white shirt, sequined waistcoat, boots, cowboy hat, bow tie.)
Lessons and Light Sabres
After the whole rum debacle, which actually went quite well, we had lessons, and some idi...person of lower intelligence had the idea of putting Gryffindor and Slytherin together, in a class room, with competitive activities. But, at least this meant I was able to chat to Rosa throughout all my lessons.
The first was Defence Against the Dark Arts; though, I don't really know what we were meant to be learning, it took Quirell most of the lesson to introduce himself and even that was hard to understand, all I learnt was that Carluccio's do the best milkshakes and that, yes, turbans can fall off.
'It was weird how weird he was about his weird turban, he did that weird crawly thing into his weird little office-ette thing, ok, now it's gone weird, oh poo, I can't stop saying weird, weirdy, weirdo, weirdology, weirdness, weirdism...ok I think all the weird is out of my system.' I rambled on the way out.
The second was astronomy or astrology or something, it basically consisted of us looking through large glass-ended metal tubes to try to see balls of gas, rock and ice which, apparently, have some influence to our future.
After that, we had a lesson I had been looking forward to, Drama! We only had this lesson once a week, unlike our others which we had once a day. We actually had a good teacher this time, one who could speak properly, he was called Professor Kerr. We were asked to answer the register in a German accent, apparently it would be different each week, everyone did rather funny, if slightly racist, accents, answering with 'ja' or 'guten taag', well, everyone except for Georgie Hopkins , a Gryffindork, who answered by raising her hand in an extended salute and said 'Heil!'. All the half-bloods, muggle-borns and Purebloods who had been to a muggle preparatory school gasped but most of Slytherin and a ginger that Rosa seemed to be friends with looked confused and didn't really seem to know what was wrong. 'What?' she asked, looking around.
'Do you know what that means?' Asked the Professor teaching, if drama counts as a lesson, the class.
'Well, I saw some of a movie on t.v. and there were Germans saying that...' She replied, unsure of herself.
There was a relieved laugh from all the people, myself included, who had gasped and we continued with the lesson, playing a game called 'shark' where a 'shark' chased a the 'fish' around.
The rest of the morning was a bit of a blur, but at lunch time, which for me was far too much chocolate frozen yogurt and strawberries, I asked Lara how her day had been, because I hadn't seen her since the sorting.
'Dull,' she replied 'but Ella was making light sabre noises for the whole of charms, she kept referring to the 'accio' charm as 'the force' and she was calling professor Flitwick yoda, which was mildly irritating.'
'What's a light sabre?' I asked.
'Star Wars thing.'
'What's a Yoda?'
'Star Wars thing.'
'What's a The Force?'
'Star Wars thing.'
'What's a Star Wars?'
'Seriously?' She asked 'You don't know what Star Wars is?'
'Yeah, of course I know,' I said sarcastically 'That's why I asked.'
'It's a muggle movie about war in space.'
'Hmm, well done, Captain Obvious.'
At that moment, Ella ran towards where we were standing, outside to Hufflepuff common room.
'Hey, can I talk to you guys inside?' She asked.
'No, you can't.' I replied.
'Why not, are you angry with me?' She asked worried.
'No, you physically can't. No Slytherins have been in there since Bellatrix Black, and she dyed all their hair green and silver and you're banned since you spiked their pumpkin juice.' I said truthfully.
'Okay, well, I just thought you should know that I'm going to give Hagrid Pokémon cards. Do you want to come?' She asked. I agreed, hoping I could stop Hagrid from going on any form of trip or adventure.
