Private message to Padma Patil

[alt_seamus]

So, I thought the reception today went pretty well. Do you think Sandoval's pleased with how you're doing? Mr Crispin seemed pleased enough with me. I was trying to spot whether any of the sponsors were cross with their candidates. Yaxley was unhappy with Nott, that was clear. And Avery was not pleased that Weasley arrived so late.

Anyway, you know how we left our bags in the cloak room?

Have you looked in yours? Just wondering.

No, it's not from Black, it's from Blaise


OH.

How did--


Oh.

[alt_seamus]

But no worries, if you got one, just turn it in sometime today.

[alt_padma]

Did you get one?

[alt_padma]

I mean, is that what you were 'reading' last night?

[alt_seamus]

No. Mr Crispin had brought a book he thought I might benefit from reading, that's what I had.

Did you get one?

[alt_padma]

No, of course not. I was reading Su Li's essay for her because she wanted a second opinion.

I wish Professor Dovs had said specifically that it was a book, though. I've already had four second-years ask if they have to turn in their sweets.

I'll ask him to clarify.
