I don't want you and mum to worry overly much about what happened yesterday. We'd come up with a plan for Pansy to get Neville in trouble so he'd get detention, for the challenge, and it worked. A bit too
She pretended to be hacked off at me, and she said some provoking things to give Neville an excuse to pull his wand and attempt to hex her in front of Milland so he'd give Nev detention.
It was
I'm glad we were able to help.
Anyways.
I had a lovely time on Tuesday, observing the comet with Professor Sinistra. We talked about all sorts of things while we were waiting to take the next set of measurements, like OWLs and what those would be like, and what it was like for her while she was going through school, and her favourite teachers. She was very close to her Astronomy professor, of course, but she went on for a bit about Professor Flitwick, which was nice. I wish I could've met him. I know how much mum loved him. And we talked about prefects, too. About how they're selected. And what sorts of responsibilities they tend to have. Which was kind of her to bring up, but I told her I didn't think I had a chance, of course, and then I was sort of joking about how silly it would be, and I sort of blurted out that both you and mum'd been prefects, you know, hah hah, what a laugh, don't think they'll make that mistake again. It was frightfully awkward, and I didn't mean to say it (and I don't think it was a mistake, of course I don't), but she just sort of paused and nodded her head and said that mum was a prefect when she was a first-year.
We didn't talk about it any more beyond that. I mean, she told some stories about her first year, and I think sometimes she was thinking about mum when she told them, but she didn't mention her directly.
Still. I'd no idea they were in school at the same time.
I promise I won't bring it up with her again.
It's interesting, though, because if I think about it, you and mum went to school at the same time as a lot of people, didn't you? Not just Mr Black and Mr Lupin and Mr Snape, but Lucius Malfoy and Bellatrix Lestrange and people like that too.I wonder how many of my classmates
The perihelion was beautiful. It was much brighter than I thought, and I stared at it for so long that I think I had it imprinted on my eyelids when I went back down the stairs.
I suppose I've been thinking about you and mum quite a lot lately. It's been that kind of week, I suppose. I miss you both very much.
