ZACHARIAS SMITH's father becomes a highly-sought professional speaker on the dangers of the Noble Arts, Duelling, Duelling Clubs, and secret Warlock Societies. He publishes an entire library of books which are praised for their insightful and direct invective against offensive magic of nearly any kind. Many of the titles focus on monitoring one's children, the value of home wand checks, and other 'preventive parenting' methodologies.

An equal (or greater) number of people believe his books to be twaddle.

Private Message to Harry M-- POTTER

2015-05-15T05:02:13Z

To the one who now calls himself Harry Potter:

You belong to me, and always have. This has always been your purpose. This has always been your destiny. Accept it - embrace it.

Come to me and you need never know pain or fear again. Come to me willingly, and you can end this pointless conflict now and forever. Come to me before midnight in two days' time, and no one else need die because of your cowardice. Submit to my will, and understand. It's time, Harry.

Your schoolmates' lives depend on you obeying my command.

Well. That's some incredible bollocks, right there, that is. Couldn't stop it.

Anyway, Harry, FUCK THEM. I'm serious. You get your Order together and do whatever you have to do.

I mean, I won't want to die. And they're saying.... But it doesn't matter. If you're supposed to be able to stop him, like that Snape bloke said, then DO IT.

Hey, so I've been meaning to ask you all day: How did it go last night? What was his excuse?

And yeah, you're right: Margie's fit but Merlin, she's got a gob on her. I dunno, I think maybe it's time to move on.

So, I got your owl.

Yeah, there's a match coming up. May 10^th, against Gryffindor.

Only....

Are you sure you meant Hufflepuff's kit? Because either side could be really dangerous. But my own House--I mean, that's just not on.

I can do anything, though, right? It doesn't have to be, well, something that would get someone killed. Or anything. Just...sort of a lark? I suppose that'd be all right. Well, not all right, it's not sporting at all, but--

Well. I guess I'll think of something.

Bloody hell!

Ernie and I can set a louder alarm if you need it, F-Fs.

I didn't even know Professor Dovs could get in to our dormitories! (Didn't think he knew that many words for arse, either.)

Anyway, none of us need that kind of awakening, mate. Least of all you.

I guess the bright side is that we're all ready for breakfast. An hour early.

Hey, good job tonight. And it wasn't even the worst bit of entertainment we had today, eh?

I don't think anyone noticed the stutter.

How about Finnigan's announcement, or Sue having to sing? And did you hear about Igraine Archer? I mean, all things considered, I could've done something way worse.

Not that I was going to, I mean. But some others clearly did.

Anyway. Hope it wasn't too painful.

Not that I object to these quaint traditions but someone really ought to tell the ickles that they are made up.

Some little second-year just tried to convince me she's ginger.

She's really, really not. Nice try.

Trust me, you won't regret it.

Now, mornings: I prefer the third sink--the water's hotter for shaving--so make sure no one else is using it around, oh, 8:15 tomorrow; 7:45 the other days. Then head down to breakfast and save me some of the eggs and bacon, oh and I like blackberry marmalade, if it's there, not that horrid orange that isn't really orange. I don't have much in the way of lessons on Thursdays, so you can pop off to whatever lessons you've got and check with me at lunch.

Evenings: I'll need my shoes cleaned, books organised on my shelf, oh, and I'll probably need you to make some trips to the library. See if you can't get the good armchair and hold it for me if I'm not back right after supper.

Saturday, we've got Quidditch early, so you'll have to help with my kit and such. Only I don't think you'll need to reserve the sinks at that hour, ha.

We'll work out the rest as it goes along. Five days shouldn't be too bad.

OI! Who wrecked my display?

2014-01-14T23:28:47Z

Why is the first suit of armour in the Charms corridor missing? That's part of my loyalty display.

Whoever took it better put it back like it was, before curfew.

And stay away from the other suits in that corridor, if you know what's good for you.

DONE!

2013-12-20T21:45:52Z

Just turned in my last bit of homework and finished my last exam.

Bring on Christmas Hols!

(Not a moment too soon, either.)

Sorry, all you sods who have to spend half the week on St M's Jr Aux. The rest of us will be relaxing at home with nog and roasted chestnuts and all the time in the world.

Anyone have plans to go into town? Some of the lads were thinking it'd be fun to go to a pub or two. Who's up for it?

Too bad about the points from Hufflepuff but it was well worth it for the early release, eh?

Mate, we have got to figure out why you're allergic to Pepper-Up. Failing that, you should simply avoid ever getting another cold. What about that scarf you said is supposed to keep you warm?

Either way, no more distance flying for you, not when there's a hint of drizzle!

Acton, though. Talk about an over-reaction. I mean, it was pretty funny, the way the dust settled on MacDougal's hair and set her off, and then Corner twitched during his cast, and so on. You couldn't have planned it better, mate.

Except for the points, of course. Twenty, that's got to be the most at a go so far this year. Oh, and the fact that we'll be brushing fire suppression dust out of our...everything...for probably about a month.

Well done, anyway. Did you go off to Matron or just back to bed?

Sunday Flying

2013-09-21T02:57:14Z

We've decided to continue open flying on Sundays. Anyone's welcome. Provided you've got a broom and you've passed basic flying, of course.

Anywiz, leaving from the Greenhouses after lunch. Who's in?

Oi, Cedric!

2013-06-14T15:58:44Z

Listen, mate,

Wanted to let you know that over the past few weeks, me and some of the lads have been collecting little prezzies for you, here and there. Just naff little stuff to help break up the boredom this summer.

Bobolis and I are coming to see you with the lot, next week. All right?

Two more lessons and the year is over!

Who's for flying this afternoon?

Private Message to Weasley

2013-05-14T18:24:44Z

Oi, Weasley,

Are you still writing to Selwyn's daughter? I thought you were only larking about for something to write for herself's stupid one-post-per-week rule.

How come you're still sending her messages, then? I suppose kissing arse really does run in your family. Your oldest brother, then Percy, now you. No surprise if we read about the engagement in the papers, ha-ha!

Why has everyone gone mad tonight?

And who's supposed to be monitoring in the lounge? I just walked in on Padma and Blaise snogging.

NOT something I ever needed to see, thanks.

If it's going to be like this after every formal meal, I'll just figure out how to hunt for my meals.

(Oh, and Peeves has been flinging poo in the 2nd floor loos, so whoever's in the most trouble, you can bet Mr Milland will be having you clean that up!)

Hogsmeade!

2013-03-23T16:43:47Z

Anyone still in the castle is really missing out. The weather's amazing and it's dead brilliant being outside for a change.

We're heading to Zonko's in about ten minutes, as soon as we finish lunch at the Broomsticks. If anyone's interested.

Happy Birthday, Sue!

2013-03-14T20:54:10Z

And we're sure to flatten Slytherin on Saturday, yeah?

Did you hear, Goyle's been grounded by Kerr. There's a present for you! And I didn't even have to wrap it.

Go, Hufflepuff!

2013-02-16T15:44:10Z

Good-o, Sue, Anne, Vik, Heph, Bob, Bobby and our own Cap CED!

Don't worry, Ced, I've got that waterproof pad I told you about and we'll take loads of notes on the bench.

But You'll all be brill, no doubt!

Hogsmeade!

2013-02-09T18:27:38Z

Isn't it weird how snow is silent but walking across it has a crunching sound?

Anywiz, Sue, where did you get off to? Ern and the boys and I are heading to the sweet shop. Come and find us!

Oh, and Revue Cast: We're getting together at the Broomsticks around 3, anyone wants to join us. Remy, that means you, Sandoval and the others, too.

(Justin, don't worry, mate, we know you needed to stay in on account of your headcold. Right.)

Happy February

2013-02-02T03:36:02Z

It's too bloody cold.

I'm knackered. Does anyone else feel like it's been the longest week ever?

I can't believe we've got Quidditch practice at 6:00 AM.

Summers, if you wake me and Stebbins coming in like you did last week, you'll regret it.

Right. I'm all in.

Private Message to Ron Weasley

2013-01-17T02:23:42Z

Good on ya, mate. Particularly the part where you kept knocking Daphs off-balance. Keep her on her toes, I say.

Listen, I was picking up my bag from the corner where I'd left it at rehearsal, and you'll never guess what I found on the floor.

It was a piece of parchment, all drawn over with little hearts and things. And the interesting part was it had your name all over it. Well, not just your name, eh?

Someone's got quite a crush on you. Here's a sample:

Mr and Mrs Ron Weasley
Mr and Mrs Ronald Weasley
Mrs Evelyn Weasley
Madam Evelyn Weasley
Mrs Evelyn Longbottom-Weasley
Mr and Mrs Ron and Evie Weasley
Mr and Mrs Ronald and Evelyn Weasley
Mr Ron and Mrs Evelyn Weasley
Ron B. and Evelyn M. Weasley
Mr Ronald B and Mrs Evelyn M Weasley
Mrs Evelyn M. Weasley
Mrs E. M. Weasley
Evelyn M. L. Weasley
Evelyn Marie Longbottom Weasley

Well. You get the idea. Too funny, hey?

Anyway. Thought you ought to know. Privately, of course.

Someone said we should be posting more in our journals and I agree.

So here is my post for the week. I would like to invite anyone and everyone to reply with your thoughts, advice for clean living, the answers to tonight's homework (just kidding!) or any other teensy little thing that might be on your mind.

What gives with the subject, Sue? Are you practising for your part in the show already? I mean, it sounds like something a Victorian or Edwardian or whatever you're supposed to be would say, innit.

'I do solemnly swear' what, exactly?

Congratulations, by the way, I never said. I think everyone was in too much shock about the Weasleys. I mean, I'm not even sure how I wound up getting a speaking part, but I'll give it a go.

How's your hols so far, then?
