Since I am not currently kissing anyone, I would ENJOY a DIFFERENTLY STIMULATING conversation!! What is everyone going to be if when they grow up?? Sometimes it's easy to forget that we just graduated -- well. Some of us!! And I want to think about what comes after this. Not what comes next. Because my dueling is still bloody awful. It kind of makes me feel nervous, to be frank.
Anyway, I want to do illustrations for books about magical creatures and herbology!! And maybe I'll travel and draw a load of species that no one's really seen and even draw pictures of magical LANDMARKS and stuff!! And then I'm going to build a house near my mum and dad's farm and maybe marry someone when I'm older and help out!! I'm also going to eat a LOT of fruit. I miss fruit TONS!!

Would anyone like me to draw them a picture?? I stowed a sketchbook and I'm kind of bored by all of this gossip, because to be honest, I don't really care! I care about you guys and home, so let's talk about our favourite food and what I should sketch!!
At least I'M not stuck wit
Also, I will not draw bottoms. I just thought I should make that clear.

This is DREADFUL!! I do not want to go early, I hadn't finished all my goodbyes! And mum and I were going to go to London for LUNCH next week and now we'll never not have the chance and I just don't think I'm READY yet! But there's no choice. There's no choice at all. I can't believe this.

[ WARDED TO ANN MARCHBANKS ]Hi! How are you? Did you get the invitation to Desmond and Violet's wedding?? Are you going to go?? How's your home! Is it safe? Are you relieved to be there?? I'm SO relieved to be home, I wish I could stay here and not go off to stupid war. I've been spending most of my days drawing and catching up with the livestock. My parents, too, but they're WELL stressed. My dad's REALLY upset that I've been conscripted but everyone keeps trying to assure him. And my brothers are taking every chance they have to "help" me practice dueling. I think they just like hexing me.
SO ANYWAY, I was wondering! Do you want to come to the farm?? For a sleepover?? I figured we could bake with my mom and catch up and maybe even play some Quidditch with my brothers and I was going to see if my dad'll let me take the flying horses out SOOO I think you should come!!
Also, are you going to throw a hen do for Violet? I think you should! AND I'll help!

[ WARDED TO HUFFLEPUFFS AND ANN MARCHBANKS ]I've just recieved an Owl from my mother and I -- it seems that I've been conscripted. Only, I didn't enlist because I don't think I'm cut out for it, you know? Not for any of it. Not for a single thing, not one bit of it, because I cry too much and I don't want to CRY in front of soldiers and it's so brave of everyone who is and I guess I should want to because I feel so awful for everyone whose lost family but I CAN'T FIGHT! I'm rubbish at it! I'll mess the entire thing up!
I don't know what to do. I don't want it to be like Edmund's poem, I -- I'm frightened.

I don't understand what's happening. I know we're all supposed to sit in the common rooms, and I know it's for our own safety even if it's really, really getting uncomfortable sitting indoors all day. But have they come to any desicion? Does this mean Hogwarts is staying open for the rest of the week? Can we even go HOME if places keep getting bombed? I mean, I know we could get bo that the Wireless said the campaign has stopped now, but it would be well unsafe to send students home to those places if we aren't positive they're secure yet, right? And who will look after the muggleborn students if Hogwarts has to shut down? Do they just have to go home and stop learning magic?

[ WARDED TO HUFFLEPUFF SEVENTH YEARS, ANN MARCHBANKS, TIBERIUS OGDEN AND CONRAD RIDGEBIT ]I have been trying to draw Wilhelm a horse in between study breaks and I cannot. No matter how I try, it simply stays put in my head and in my pencil and I am left with an entirely blank page! I know we are all terribly busy with NEWTs, but perhaps if we held a sort of evening? I mean, what if we tried concentrating really, really hard and sending him extra good energy? Maybe Professor Imago could even direct us!
I just don't like feeling like there is nothing we can do. I know the professors keep saying they're taking care of it, but sometimes it feels like they aren't. Not really. I mean, what if someone at St. Mungo's could help them better?

[ WARDED TO SILVANUS KETTLEBURN ]Sil, what's going ON? Wilhelm isn't here and I know the Prefects know something and are you okay?? Everything's getting well out of hand and if mum and dad knew -- have you told them?? Maybe it's safer for both of us on the farm?? The Headmaster doesn't seem to be able to stop anything and I'm afraid one of my friends is going to die! Please, PLEASE tell me what's going on!

[ WARDED TO HUFFLEPUFFS, ANN MARCHBANKS, TIBERIUS OGDEN & CONRAD RIDGEBIT ]I know everyone is beginning to miss home and sometimes we get so focused on what's going wrong that we forget to talk about the things we love. I miss my family and my parents, but most of all I miss Calliope, my golden retriever.  I hope that you all know you can talk to me if you're sad! Or even if you're not sad. Now that I've calmed down, I would be happy to hear about the things you miss if you think it might cheer you up. At least we have each other, no matter what people are saying about Hufflepuffs.
