Quite right, Patil. And may I say that you do our House proud? Keep up the hard work this year. You'd be welcome to join us in Ravenclaw Corner. Not many second-years can say they've been invited, you know.

Of course, it would also show well if you were able to encourage some of your year mates to improve their places in the standings. There's no excuse for a Ravenclaw to be lagging down in sixth or seventh place, unless there are only other Ravenclaws above him.
