Warded to Lisa Finnigan:

How'd the lecture go today? Lots of giggles and red faces?

Warded to Parvati Patil:

Don't be mad at me. I invited Simon over last week to have a look at the area. He was thinking of moving to Wales, and I wanted to show him the area I live in because it's adorable and relaxing. Nothing happened.

Warded Private:

Simon popped by last week, and it was... Well, honestly, it was a little awkward. At least at first. I think Puck could smell the moon on him or something, because he kept pawing at his lap and demanding to be pet. Even when I tossed him outside, he made it back inside through the cat flap before I was even back. The tour went all right... at least until he made some comment about how these towel racks were sturdier than the last ones. I had to leave the bathroom at that because I thought my face might burn off.

Being near him (as friends! as only friends!) is nice, though. I won't lie. I've really missed him.

Warded to Parvati:

Do you have some time this week for your pathetic and lonely sister? I'm feeling a little disconnected from people lately, and you're the first one on my list for re-connects.

Warded Private:

The full moon is tonight. It's probably ridiculous that I want to bring Si him a Headache Potion and one of those frou-frou coffees he used to drink. I don't even know if he still drinks those.

This is stupid. I'm shutting this now.

Warded to Hermione:

Just as a precaution, I know that we only have a certain amount of substitutes on hand, and if needed, I can volunteer to combine classes over the next few weeks.

Warded Private:

I feel like I should warn her, that it'll never last. He'll change, turn on her, and leave her completely out of the blue with no warning whatsoever. One moment, he'll tell her he loves her, the next, he'll ask why she's still there. Then 8 years later, he'll turn up at her birthda

It's slightly possible that I'm projecting. And turning into a crazy cat lady.

And OH DEAR MERLIN. Aren't I supposed to see those star wars films at Nico's tonight? Bollocks!

Warded Private:

Ergh. Twenty-nine, and the only thing I have to show for it is a career I love, and a whatever-he-was who dumped me four days before my birthday and on Valentine's Day.

This week sucks. Here's hoping that Friday is much better.

Warded to Su, Lisa, Mandy, Daphne, Parvati, Indira, & Lavender:

I admit it. You were all right about Oliver. He was such an arse on Valentine's Day that we broke off whatever we were.

Back to being the lesser Patil.

Warded to Parvati, Su, Lisa, Mandy, and Daphne:

Simon Capper shows up now all of a sudden? Really? My life is an abyss. First that stupid git reporter/writer/whatever he was starts asking me questions about my relationship with him, and now this?

Also, why hasn't Oliver asked me out again?

Warded to Parvati and Adrian:

Adrian, do you think I could pop over this weekend to start the planning for the Valentine's Day festivities? And if so, Parvati, do you want to go out to tea or shopping Saturday? I mean, we can go even if Adrian is busy, but not if you're busy together. I don't want to walk in on that. Ever. Again.

Warded to the RLA Faculty & Staff:

I've been thinking about starting a book club for the faculty and staff. Most of us read so much for our classes that I thought it might be nice to read a little for ourselves. I'm not sure if anyone is actually interested in this, but I thought maybe the last Wednesday of the month would be a good time for it. We could hold it in the school's library (if Hermione would permit) or at one of our houses, rotating. There's also the option of going to a coffee shop or a restaurant, but those wouldn't allow us to be as completely free as we could be.

At any rate, a short book would probably be best for this month. Maybe something Muggle, actually. I've always watching to read Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. I've heard rather good things about its whimsical storyline.

So I suppose... is anyone interested? If so, do you have a better book to suggest?
