Our revision group is still going on Friday night for any 5th year who's interested.

We'll be going over Dark Arts.

And Defence.

The usual place.

WHAT INCONSISTENCIES?

HE'S THE BEST BLOODY TEACHER WE'VE EVER HAD IN DEFENCE

I HATE HER

From:

alt_draco

This school is her Kingdom and we are her Subjects. Apparently.

Nothing from Father. Not that he was really ever able to do anything about the Carrows, either.

I almost think they were better. Horrid, yeah, but at least they didn't grow all over everything like a horrible mould. Their nastiness was limited to their own classrooms.

From:

alt_sally_anne

That sounds great.

From:

alt_sally_anne

Is it true you know how to cast the Patronus charm?

From:

alt_harry

Yes. I can.

From:

alt_sally_anne

Do you think you could teach me how to do it?

We got started in Defence last week but I didn't even get silver mist. It's a really hard spell.

From:

alt_harry

Sure.

Yeah.

Maybe we can do that on Friday. And you know if you want to learn more on your own, we can do that too.

From:

alt_harry

Agreed.

From:

alt_harry

Right.

Okay.

This is officially Not On.

At All.

I can't

I need to go flying. Tonight? On the course. And we need to talk more. Lots more. But right now I just want to blow something up.

From:

alt_harry

It's bollocks.

You're the best Defence professor we've ever had, and whatever she says you've done is a lie.

I hate this. And her.

What can I do?

From:

alt_harry

Antonin Nikolaevich;

I was wondering if I could stop by and talk to you about how we can get the most out of our study sessions? Just so I make sure we cover the stuff that we need to. And the session with the lower years went pretty well. They had a lot of questions, but we sorted out most of it. And I took notes. I could bring them with.

I'd like to talk about some other things too.

But if you're not feeling up for it, that's okay.

I would have warned you, but I was blind-sided.

I'm telling you what she's accused me of in case rumours start, which they're bound to.

She says I had inappropriate relations with a student. That's a lie. In my past I've made some foolish decisions with it comes to women, but none of them involved seducing a student, not ever.

I'm still here for you, and you can still come for me for your private training sessions. Maybe Draco and Hydra, too- Hydra's family, and Draco practically. You can teach them what I teach you, and pass along what you've already learnt.

And- I was wrong to tell you to back down before. You have more leeway that you think. Use it, be clever about it, and get your closest friends to help.

From:

alt_sally_anne

Yes.

From:

alt_harry

Right.

Good to know. Can't say I'm good at clever, but I've got some friends who are.

And I'm here for you too, you know.

From:

alt_draco

I see you wrote to him, Raz. What did he say?

From:

alt_harry

That she says he seduced a student, but it's a lie.

And that you and Hydra can come to tutoring.

And hang on I'll just copy out this last bit. He says 'I was wrong to tell you to back down before. You have more leeway that you think. Use it, be clever about it, and get your closest friends to help.'

So yeah. Not backing down any more.

From:

alt_draco

It is true that she doesn't seem to know what to do when you stand up to her. She just ignores me, and then sees to it that I'm not leading any groups in CCF.

You don't reckon... he wouldn't seduce a student, would he? I mean, yeah, I don't think he'd lie to you, but he really was a dog. You should hear the stories Father tells.

From:

alt_cedric

Yes to flying. After the Prefects meeting and we'll know what she wants to say to us there.

I'm right there with you in wanting to blow something up, because it looks like one of my NEWT scores just blew up.

From:

alt_harry

I mean, he could be trying to keep me from something, but I really don't think he would when it comes to that sort of stuff.

If he says it isn't true, I believe him.

And I think when it comes to leeway, he was meaning more Him than her. What He'd think.

From:

alt_harry

Okay.

Yeah.

I don't know.

I really don't.

But there's got to be a way to get taught without getting taught. If you know what I mean. And because we're friends and all, it wouldn't be weird for us to hang out or whatever, and Raz will be there as a bodyguard and maybe that'd be something.

I'm going to pass along whatever I can to my year. Things he's taught me, I mean. You could do the same to yours. And we can all try to keep the younger years on top of things.

From:

alt_cedric

A study group sounds like a good idea. I'll give it a week or two before I say anything. I don't want to get labelled a 'problem' We'll see how much of a time sink her "revision material and lecture notes" will be for the NEWT students.

We are at least at the point that we know a huge portion of we we need for the test and as long as access to the library doesn't get cut of we can do all the studying we need. It's the practical side I'm worried about. I don't see any provision in what she just said for actual duelling defence practice. Which scares me for the practical portion of the exam.

Defence class is about to start I'll see whether we get Umbridge or Hooch and let you know what it's like. Who did you have this morning?
