Classes have been going well so far. I mean, they're harder than they were last term, but that's sort of expected. I think that once we have to start studying for OWLs on top of everything, though, it'll be a lot harder. At least I haven't started studying yet. But anyways. I think this is going to be a busy year. In a good way, though.

The first Quidditch club meeting went well. It was good to see everyone again. We talked about tryouts and things, and came up with our charts for the upcoming professional season. I really think the Falcons will do well this time around. I'm signed up to help out with the YPL exercise session tomorrow, so that should be fun. And Saturday will be brilliant. I'm really looking forward to it.

Has anyone had a chance to finish their essays about colour change for Charms? I just want to make sure I haven't fouled up the bit about changing the colours back. And it's ace to show colour changes in the ink on our essays, but I don't think my purple looks right. It's pretty much just blue. I think. Maybe it's just the parchment or something.

Colour changes are tricky, aren't they? It took me ages to get a proper purple - or orange, though I usually want that one much less often. There's a twist to wand movement that often takes a while to feel natural. (Ask me tonight, though, and I can show you quickly if you want. Or anyone else who's having trouble. Or if you're getting a strong green, you could work from that to the purple.)

And look - did Raz get a chance to ask you? Assuming Saturday goes the way they've planned, he and I thought you might like a little time without any particular plans on Sunday.

I suspect a fly might not be the best choice (besides Saturday's exertions, I don't know that the weather's going to be that pleasant), but I'm up for you and Raz attempting to explain Quidditch to me further - I was looking at some of his older games, and I admit I'm still confused in more than a few places.

I never thought of starting from green. Green is easy. I'll try that.

So like a tea or something? Yeah, that'd be okay, I guess. If you don't have other things going on. I mean, if everything goes the way it should. And it will.

Anyways.

We could use Raz's model to play out part of the games, which could be fun to set up. Sort of like watching it live.

Tea, conversation. And some very nice baked things, assuming Raz doesn't eat them all before then.

And yes - I thought the model might be fun. And honestly, I find it much easier to figure out what's going on when I can see it, and stop it and ask questions. I still get entirely lost at game speed.

As to Saturday, you're right. It will go just fine. (I should know: I heard them talk through the planning.) And as I've been firmly told, they've done this before, and they know what they're doing. I just keep reminding myself of that, and that I trust both of them to be as good as they really are at what they're doing.

Okay. I'll plan on Sunday then.

Excellent.

If you need help with colour change, I'd be happy to help. Most girls are already proficient on it, if they've been playing around even a little bit with charming their hair and makeup.

I can at last tell you if your ink is blue, purple, indigo, aubergine, violet, or amethyst!

Thanks, Daphs.

...Aren't those all just purple?

[alt_daphne]

In a sense: they're all different shades of purple.
