Summer & OWL results

[alt_seamus]

The owl with my OWL results had to find me on a fishing trip with Mr Rosier. We went to Folkestone and went out sailing and fishing. I'd never been on boats much before, it was interesting. Anyway the owl did find me, even as far out as we were, and we were both reasonably pleased with my marks. Two O's, three E's, and the only exam I failed was Divination.

I didn't have my journal with me on the trip, but we're back! Padma you can come over anytime, if you'd like.

Did he say why he wanted you to leave the journal? Just so you could really relax? Mum says sometimes she wishes people would leave their journals closed more often because now everyone carries them everywhere and it's hard to have a real conversation.

Well, I heard a rumour that there are a couple of people who only have enough to go on if they continue History, so you wouldn't be alone. If you were in lessons, you wouldn't have to work hard, just listen to what he says we're supposed to be reading so we know we're not too far off the mark.

Before you re-test in Arithmancy, you could write to Professor Vector and see if she'll allow you to go on without the E. If you were really close, she might let you. Then you wouldn't have to revise all summer long. But if you do need to test again, I'll come over to revise with you whenever you like.

Yeah, that's just it, he says people spend all their time reading in their journals now and he wanted me to appreciate the fishing and the company and the lovely summer weather. And it was rather nice out.

Who would I be with, do you know? I can't imagine it would be Crabbe or Goyle, at least.

That's a good thought about writing to Professor Vector. I'll give that a try, at least.

Actually, what am I saying? Lines decided to stick with it after all. Also Morag and Su Li and Mandy all said they're going on, mostly because it's an easy enough subject to carry.

So you won't be alone. I don't know if anyone else is continuing, though.

Pav's not coming back, by the way. It was--well, I wish you'd had your journal when we found out she didn't have the marks in enough subjects to continue. Dad still wants her to retest but she said it wouldn't much matter.

Parvati's not coming back?

You mentioned she was thinking about it but I didn't think she'd really leave.

How bad were her marks?

She got eight passing marks, but only one O and only one E, in Charms. Her O was Divination and mostly she thought that was working with Lav the way she's been doing. (Honestly, I passed Divination and that was just from reading her books and practising with her and Lav before the exams, over hols and such. It really wasn't difficult.)

So really she could pick a subject and ask to retest and apply to her professors but she just would rather not bother, I guess. She wants to go into the shop with Mum, full time.

The Aunts are already trying to figure out who she might be able to marry. I'd much rather stay in school for now!

Married?!? She's not even of age! Ugh.

Re: Private message to Padma

Doesn't matter!

If Mum and Dad weren't so progressive, we'd both have been betrothed before we even started at Hogwarts.

Now that she's not coming back she's got no excuse, I guess.

I'm putting that off as long as possible.
