I don't think what Harry did was wrong. That jinx isn't anything like Imperius. Imperius makes somebody make you do something and you don't have any choice in the matter. Longbottom could have gone somewhere and stopped talking to people and thrown his quill away. But he didn't. Besides, it was just a silly jinx anyway. I don't see why everyone is so cross about it. Everyone knows Longbottom wouldn't really say those things.

Also I said that the ghosts are better here than at home but I was sort of wrong. Our ghosts are very boring and they like to stand behind you when you're having dinner and watch you when you sleep. The ones here mind their own business most of the time and tell good stories other times, but at home we don't have a poltergeist.

I really hate Peeves.

Who watches you when you sleep?

Great-great-great-great-great Aunt Myfanwy. She's done that with every child that's lived in this house for hundreds of years. I think one of her sons died in his sleep.

That's creepy. I'd not like it if the Bloody Baron did that in our dormitory.

Did Peeves do something to you, by the way?

Have you forgot about the other night when he chased us ~~back from the Infir~~ down the corridor or are you just being that word my Auntie calls me when she thinks I've said something thick on purpose? Obtoose?

I haven't forgot, I guess I'm just getting used to that sort of thing
from him. I've seen him since that night and he splattered ink on me, the prat.

He keeps singing that song at me about the You Know What.

Least yours isn't always toppling his head off at the dinner table. Not really appetising, that.

Yeah I wouldn't like that. The Bloody Baron is all right. He's got some amazing stories if you give him a chance.

People just wanted to find a reason to get really angry and out of sorts, I think. With Longbottom and the jinx I mean.

But why? It's not like Harry made him go feed himself to the giant squid or anything.

I think some people just like finding things to be angry over.

That's stupid. I'd rather have something good to get cross about.

So would I, but you don't see me all angry about it, right?

Has your luck come back since we found your necklace?

I'm not sure. I think it's better, a bit.

If it really had come back then perhaps you'd have found something good to get angry about.

I don't want to be angry that much.

Yeah it doesn't seem like much fun. Being angry I mean.

Do you play wizard's chess?

People seem to enjoy it enough. Being angry.

Yes, I do.

Do you want to play after dinner tomorrow?

Yes, all right.

Of course, Harry did nothing seriously wrong. It's ridiculous that this incident has become a three-days'-wonder, all over a comment made by some inconsequential Mudblood who has no idea what he's talking about.

Saying the Aspersium Jinx is related to the Imperius Curse is like saying an owl is related to an Occamy.

The mudblood doesn't know its Occamy from its elbow. Sir.

Precisely my point, young man.

Be so good as to remind others that the creature hardly is qualified to offer any such opinion on the subject of magical theory or spellcraft. The very idea is outrageous, let alone that you and your classmates stoop to believe anything it has to say.

If it continues troublesome, it shall rue its indiscretion.

I've heard Peeves is scared of the Bloody Baron, so you'd think he'd treat us Slytherins with more respect.

He tripped me going downstairs the other day and all my books went everywhere and I scraped my knees.
