alt_harryHello.
We're starting off our NEWT classes, and it's pretty much like what you said. They're going okay, though. Potions are a lot harder, and we're working on projects for some of the other classes. I'm on a team with Draco and Linus Moon, who's that one Ravenclaw I told you about. He's a bit much sometimes, but he's really brilliant.
I think we've got a pretty good roster this year for our side. There were a few third and fourth years who tried out, but the people who already knew the ropes did much better, and I think we'll have a really solid line up. Derwent can be a bit uneven, but now that Croaker is on reserves, I think he'll take it a bit more seriously and be less distracted. I'm still running some of those older plays from that book, just to mix things up a bit, so we'll see how it goes.
I keep thinking about that machine. The one I destroyed this summer. And how it's running again. And it makes me really angry. And I keep seeing it in my head. And Mrs Selwyn. We're working on our report to send off to Mrs Longbottom, which is something useful, I guess, but it doesn't feel like we're doing much good just sitting around. And it's just so weird to know that all that stuff is going on, and that no-one else has any idea about it at all.
But I do know that we can't let it keep happening. I mean, we won't, will we? We're going to do something about it, right?

Meanwhile, I know it's difficult to concentrate on school and not be involved more directly. Trust me, you're doing fine. Has Dumbledore talked to you? I thought he might have done by now.

Should we?

I suppose he's waiting until he feels the time is right.
