Private message to Padma Patil

So apparently Weasley's brothers tried to help him out -- they couldn't lift the hex but they made it so he whispered. What was REALLY brilliant though was that we had Transfiguration today, and Mr Professor Carrow had heard about the hex and wanted to hear Weasley say the line about his lack of brain.

He gave Weasley detention for whispering in class.

I think I hurt myself trying not to laugh. (I mean, it was Transfiguration class, I don't want to do anything that would make Mr Professor Carrow cross. Including laugh.)

It wore off sometime today but maybe he's learned his lesson for a bit. You should've seen his face when he realised this morning he was still hexed, I think he just about wanted to throw himself out Gryffindor tower.

That's well funny! Does Mr Professor Carrow never laugh when he's teaching the Gryffindors? Because he does with us Ravenclaws, sometimes.

I heard Corner was the first person to try to talk to Weasley after it wore off and Weasley went berserk, shouting and carrying on as if someone had tried to burn him at the stake like the muggles used to do. Of course, it wouldn't have happened if Corner'd just got a move on and shown some spirit yesterday. He wants to join in, you can see it, but he's just so afraid of anyone calling him out for being well sour. But it's not sour at all, is it, to put someone in his place when he needs a reminder that some people have real problems and real things to be afraid about, not just hairy spiders or that.

Moon and Su Li say to watch out for retaliation, but did you notice Parkinson at History Club? She seemed well normal, completely apart from her little miss prefect act in her journal yesterday. I think she didn't mind half so much as the rest of that crew. I still don't understand why she bothers, but then, I guess she figures Perks and Weasley are good pets to have.

She did seem normal at History Club but she's a Slytherin, it could just be an act to make sure we let our guard down. She sat at our TABLE with Weasley at lunch, or tried -- someone ran her off after a few minutes, either Percy or one of the prefects.

I'm watching my back, though, there's no question Weasley thinks I had something to do with it, even though he knows I didn't cast the hex itself.
