Well, don't think Lav and Parvati and I haven't thought about that! Of course, there's still the same problem as last year, isn't there, with people getting the wrong idea if one goes somewhere alone with a boy. But I bet we could invite some of the visitors to Ravenclaw Corner and no one would object!
I did sit with the Prefects more often than not this week. Not completely, because I don't want to ignore Su Li and Belinda and Linus, of course. But it's ever so much more interesting taking meals with the older kids. And just last night Davies specifically asked me what I thought about Cox's chance to be Hogwarts' champion. Well, it's the sort of thing that's hard to answer without offending someone, isn't it, but I said that I thought any of the Ravenclaws in 6th or 7th year had a better chance than Bundy or Fleet, and they all laughed and said 'Good show' and Davies in particular sort of smiled at me in a--well, a considering sort of way.
I dunno. He's two years ahead. Which is a lot. But if someone like Davies is noticing, then some of the older boys from Durmstrang or Beauxbatons would be likely to take an interest, too. But then what? They'll go back and we'll still be here. Unless this means that the Lord Protector's considering opening the wards more often? That would be wizard, being able to travel.
Then there's that Finch-Fletchley boy. He seems very nice--but then, he seems like he's nice to everyone. It's a little ridiculous, actually. I can't make out whether he's daft or just desperate. I mean, I saw his picture in that little bit that was in the papers, he's well handsome, but, he doesn't seem terribly discerning, know what I mean?
Anyway, I should get on to lessons. But it's so nice to be able to talk to you again. You've been so busy and I haven't wanted to bother you. I hope that when you do move on to another specialty, you can manage to stay in touch even with all the other things going on!
