Too bad

[alt_harry]

Well I didnt win the chess tourney but I didn't think I was going to. I did better than I thought anyway. I can't believe I beat Patil (the Ravenclaw one).

How much have people been revising for that Potions test?

what potions test?

[alt_harry]

The one Professor Slughorn is giving!! Right before we go home for the hols!!

[alt_millicent]

oh. im rubbish at potions.

[alt_susan]

I've been revising rather a lot--not as much as Ernie though--cos potions is my worst subject and I really don't want to have to show Mum and Dad a poor mark.

[alt_zacharias]

I don't know about other people but I've been revising loads. I'm going to win those points for Hufflepuff.

[alt_susan]

Good for you cos I know I wont. I just don't want to get a P or T!

It would be wizard if you or Ernie got them though.

[alt_zacharias]

You can revise with me if you want. I don't know how good of a teacher I'd be but you might pick something up at least.

[alt_susan]

That's marvellous of you Zacharias! I try to pay attention during lessons but there are just so many ingredients and steps that my mind just drifts off and thinks of something more interesting.

I feel badly about it too because Professor Slughorn is such a nice teacher.

[alt_neville]

I bet you had no trouble believing you beat me. That was a pretty lame performance, even for me.

I can't believe I beat Megan Jones.

[alt_megan]

But everyone beat me.

[alt_draco]

Not enough.

[alt_harry]

Want to really get down to it this weekend then?

[alt_draco]

Yeah, and hopefully there won't be so many parties and chess and things to distract us.

God, girls are so mental.

[alt_pansy]

Oh, you had fun, Draco, admit it. Everyone loved your jokes.

[alt_sally_anne]

I've been revising some but Draco and Pansy are both better at Potions than me, if anyone's going to win the points for Slytherin House I reckon it'll be one of them.

Also the problem with revising is that I can already remember what pickled beetle eyes are for and what powdered asphodel smells like and so on. It's the part where you actually make the potions I sometimes have trouble with, and I don't know how I'd revise for that, knock on Professor Slughorn's door and ask to borrow the potions classroom some evening for extra practise?

[alt_pansy]

That's not a bad idea...

[alt_pansy]

I've been working on it every night. Some nights more than others. But now the chess tournament is done, I plan to really get down to it. You're welcome to join me if you like. I'm pretty good at potions.

[alt_lavender]

Do All of you really revise this much? I think my eyes would fall out of my head if I did as much as you lot.

[alt_harry]

I talk about revising more than I actually do revise I think.

[alt_lavender]

That makes me feel Better! Parvati and I somehow always end up doing it in our Room the night before.

Katrina is always yelling at us to go to be already but then she is a Swot.
