After discussing the note with Linus to check historical quidditch data, I think I know what he's trying to say. Siz also provided some of his old essays to compare handwriting to help confirm that it's authentic. I can't make head or stick of the jokes as anything other than confirmation that it's him and intended for me.

I'm positive he's in trouble and can't leave New London (the trouble's obvious, lots of cages and odd mentions of London). The errors in the old quidditch news all seem to fit together. We're fairly confident that he'll be at the Pickled Hawk Pub (talk of the Falcons playing while 'sauced'), which is a block over from the Lethifolds stadium (the non-existant games they played were all against the Lethifolds) on August the 17th at half eight (mistaken dates and the score was 800-30). He's tangled up with Lana (the mentions of Lannic 'playing' with Raz appear to be talking about her, right sort of name, playing with one of the Lestrange brothers. Implied that the 'playing' was sexual and wrong), tangled up with Lana can only really mean he's bee caught up in their new security force.

I'd like to help him, both personally and because turning part of the Bobolis clan would help sway another prominent 'neutral' family. However, I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be a good idea for me to go to New London, but I don't know who he'd trust that we trust enough to meet and negotiate with him.

Where do we fly from here?

Happy Birthday and may your stargazing always be clear.

Thank you Professors Raz and Siz, last night's party was wizard. I enjoyed the stories from the illusionist. Anyone who did better in History know if they were all true? That one about Helga Hufflepuff's granddaughter was simply silly and implausible. Funny though.

I hope everyone had fun. Pansy, I was, once again pleased to provide an escort. I hope you enjoyed yourself as thoroughly as I did.

Wonderful Wizarding fireWorks to end the evening as well.

Cheers all!

Professors,
I know that he has extensive detentions with the both of you and that he respects and admires your advice, so I was wondering if given his present circumstances either of you know Mr Moon's whereabouts?

I'd ask him in the journals myself, but well we knew that wouldn't work today.

I have an idea he should now feel ethically free and entirely capable of helping with even given his present difficulties.

I am presently in the sett, if he knocks I'll come out to him.

Professor,
While discussing the recent displays of colossal irresponsibility and poor judgement, Professor Siz let me know that you have acquired mostly complete notes of what occurred at these meetings. As captain of the house team, I need to decide how culpable Zach Smith and Hephaestus Bobolis were in Jason Samuels's injury. Would it be possible for me to look over the notes for the meeting immediately before our match? I would like to know what prior knowledge they had of his condition before I decide how severely to sanction them for their on pitch failure of judgement, reckless behaviour and endangerment of a fellow Quidditcher.

Thank you for your consideration.

I'm on my way to the hospital wing. I think something is actually wrong with me. I'm incapable of concentrating when other people are around and talking in any way. Non-Quidditch conversations in the stands were distracting me from the game on Saturday. Last night I completely lost my temper with some kids doing perfectly normal, quiet and acceptable study discussion in the library. My utter inability to concentrate has made me extremely irritable. I'd like to make sure that nothing magical has been done to me and that nothing is wrong medically.

I've already let Melinda know I'll be gone this afternoon. I do have potions at 3, but hopefully I'll be back by then.

Valerie just came to me about Chelsea's behaviour today. She's been busy all day, incapable of sitting down to do anything other than coursework or eating a meal as quickly as possible. She says she 'has to be up and doing something all the time. Like cleaning or straightening or organizing' While we were discussing this she dusted all of the pictures in the common room. Just now she stumbled a bit and sat down down hard into a chair. After a moment she said 'I can sit down now!' with this note of wonder in her voice.

I'm not sure if I should be sending her to the Matron to be checked or just seeing how she feels tomorrow.

Siz,
I just messaged Professor Raz asking to discuss my post Hogwarts plans, specifically my Quidditch chances. I should also talk with you about other options if Quidditch isn’t in my stars. If we can talk around Astronomy observation tonight that would be great. Of course we also need to discuss my NEWT project as well.

However, that’s long term planning. We should also talk about helping our house adjust the the substantial scheduling difficulties thrust so suddenly upon us all between YPL and the Da Noble Arts classes and study sessions. Did you and Professor Sprout get a chance to talk about how to help the sett adjust to the scheduling difficulties? Didn't you have some ideas about the younger years particularly OWL students who hadn’t taken any of the classes previously? We may need to work individually with the most overwrought. Has Stebbins said anything to you about having to take Noble Arts yet?
