History of Magic is dull. This is universally accepted. So is it any wonder that people fall asleep during Binns'-quite frankly-deathly boring lectures?
I notice that Harry has fallen asleep, and Ron's not paying any attention to his surroundings. A spark of mischief grabs me. Carefully setting my quill to the inside left forearm of Harry, I quickly sketch a Dark Mark. He'll get over it, I reason.

Me: Well, I feel really terrible about that... Would it be better if I said that part of the reason I haven't updated was because I was watching Doctor Who?
Spock: Most likely not.
Me: Uh... Anyway, you get two chapters today and I'll start writing the rest of them... And working on other FFN projects... So... *runs away*
Spock: We will bid you "goodbye" until the next chapter.
