I hadn't time to finish yesterday! There are so many other strange (now) second-years. Remember that girl, the metamorphmagus' friend, who I once accidentally spotted all hysterical about a card game? It was almost like she was scared of Exploding Snap! Imagine that, a daring Gryffindor afraid of a child's game?!

And half of the girls are clamouring to join the house quidditch teams still - have been since the day they came - and I just can't fathom it! I have trouble enough with badminton, never mind quidditch. Then there's that French girl - in Hufflepuff, Miss Fancypants-Loncrey - and, well, one wonders why she was not just sent to Beauxbatons if she does not even deign to speak English in the common room! (There must be a story behind that. A horrible scandal, probably, if she had flee the country.)
