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?

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

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

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.

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.
