Who can think about schoolwork this week? (Sorry, but it's true. I did do my essay for Potions class for tomorrow, but I'm afraid I wrote a LOT larger than I usually do, to make it come out to the right number inches.) Besides the extra rehearsals, some of us are busy getting costumes ready, which turned out to be a much bigger job than I think we all realised it would be. Well, perhaps it's because I think Karoline Moon started with a simpler vision of what the costumes would be like at first, but as the play has developed we've gotten rather ambitious! We want it all to look as life-like and realistic as possible, especially since we're depicting so many real life people.

Some of those charms we learned about in the Sisters of the Protectorate (about altering clothing and so on) certainly are turning out useful. I think I really have the hang of dying charms now, since Megan and I had to fiddle so long to get that rich purple colour of the robes exactly right. It started out more like a burgundy, and then it was lavender and then fuschia, and Megan was almost screaming with frustration before we were done, but they all look perfect now.

(Can you BELIEVE that some people still don't quite know all their lines? I won't mention any names, but they'd better buckle down and LEARN THEM! The big day is Saturday!)

I guess Sisters in Witchcraft really is opening doors.

It's not as if Linus doesn't know Parvati and I have known how to hem since we could hold needles. He must fancy you, Abbott!

No, because he went to the trouble of asking you when either of us could have done it for him in the common room last night. Or at the table today.

Honestly, I didn't think Linus went in for girls who are thick.
