Won't spring hurry up and come?

[alt_hannah]

Everyone is ever so cross and tired of winter. Even the play rehearsals seem like a tiresome slog (sorry Moon and Clearwater, but it's true). I keep lingering behind in the greenhouses after Herbology class, because it's such a relief to see something live and green, even if it's just Venomous Tentacula or fretful baby Mandrakes. I actually used one of my free periods this week to help Professor Sprout set out seedlings, just because I'm so sick of bare earth and mud and wanted to do something to help the flowers come faster.

Susan and Megan, anyone up for Exploding Snap? Eloise isn't interested.

Yeah, well, I may be a pureblood, but to him I'm just a blood traitor.

Oh, stuff.

The thing is, he's been muttering a lot about half-bloods, too. More and more. Susan and Megan and Eloise and I, we've all heard him chuntering on about it under his breath, whenever we turn in our essays. And he glares so! Oh, why don't they just sack him?

Re: Private message to Neville Longbottom

Dunno. But he'll never hear of a breath of a suggestion of that from me.

Re: Private message to Neville Longbottom

Well of course no one would dare even hint such a thing where he could hear.

Did your class go all right yesterday? I assume it must have, otherwise....um...

You mean you didn't hear anything about the Gryffindor boys mooning everybody. No, thank Merlin, I got through the lesson all right. Seamus and Dean jumped in to answer questions whenever I looked uncertain, I guess, and we all got through with our robes intact.

Maybe you could stop in once or twice with the study group, if you're still having trouble with dissolving things.

Re: Private message to Neville Longbottom

[alt_neville]

Really? You'd help me on that?

Re: Private message to Neville Longbottom

[alt_hannah]

Maybe. If you'd explain that bit about cross-recessive cultivars to me, that is. Deal?

Re: Private message to Neville Longbottom

[alt_neville]

Well okay. Deal!
