Today's YPL speaker sounds rather nift.
He's a historian, but I think it will probably be different than what we hear in our history lessons.
I know because I heard Professor Lestrange say that the speaker was a lively historian, not a deadly one.
I think my Uncle might be friends with the historian speaker, but then he knows a lot of people so who can say for sure?
I hope the YPL meetings will keep being interesting, especially since Quidditch won't be so much fun anymore.
I don't even much like the idea of going to the matches, because what if the Dementors come again?
And I know it might be rude to the other Quidditch players to say so, but the matches won't be nearly so interesting to watch without Harry playing.
I heard he's not going to be allowed now, you see.
So it won't be nearly so exciting.

I'm sure I said that he was alive, not lively. And while it's quite true that Professor Binns is dead, I'm sure that no-one would ever describe him as deadly. Certainly not I! So girl, have we got to sit you down and give your ears a good scrubbing again? A few amplified hearing charms? Or maybe you'd like it if someone hexed you up with some rabbit ears, hmm?

[alt_daphne]

So Harry really won't be allowed to play? That's dreadful news. You're right, of course - quidditch will be so dull without him to watch! And I suppose that means Draco won't be allowed to play, either. They might as well go and cancel the whole season.

[alt_draco]

I am allowed to play, actually. If I want to.

[alt_daphne]

Oh? And of course you want to, don't you?

[alt_draco]

It depends a lot on what the team wants. I might be the only person who can fill in for seeker while Harry's out.

[alt_narcissa]

I think your Uncle Raz would claim that Quidditch is always exciting. But perhaps it will not be quite so nerve-wracking while Harry remains on the sidelines. Though speaking for myself I am always concerned when your cousin Draco is playing.

And I very much doubt either of your Uncles would allow the Dementors to come back to another match, dearest. None of us were pleased with that.

Have you had any more nightmares since Saturday, since they came, I mean?

Private message to Hydra Lestrange

[alt_bellatrix]

I feel it prudent to let you know that I am aware of the last message you wrote to our Lord. Yesterday, He saw fit to share with me that you had finally desisted in your child-like infatuation, and had returned to a more appropriate position of distant but ever-vigilant servitude.

This was the first I had heard of your... infatuation. I had suspected, of course, but to have it confirmed - and by HIM, no less. You cannot imagine the shame you have brought upon me. That you should dare to think yourself more worthy of His affection that all the other subjects in the Protectorate is appalling.

Let me remind you of the lesson I have been attempting to teach you since birth: you are nothing until you have proven yourself otherwise. That you are from the Black line may be a gift, but it is also a curse. What you do with your name is what matters; that you were lucky enough to be born with it means nothing. Do you think that people honour me because I am a Black? A Lestrange? They do not. They honour me because they know what I have done, and what I can and will do.

What have you done? What will you do?

Answer the question with actions, not words.

[alt_hydra]

When Harry plays the matches end in such an interesting way, though!
I don't know if I'm having nightmares, I don't remember my dreams very well, it seems.
I suppose that might mean they're not so bad , except

No scrubbing, my hearing is very good!
But can you do that can you hex someone to have rabbit ears?

From,
Hydra

[alt_rabastan]

Funny thing, Ducks, but I don't think it can really be called a "hex" when the person actually wants rabbit ears.

Re: Private message to Hydra Lestrange

[alt_hydra]

Mummy... I'm sorry.
I will try to do what you want.

Re: Private message to Hydra Lestrange

[alt_bellatrix]

Words. Always. What is it you are planning to do, small one?

Re: Private message to Hydra Lestrange

[alt_hydra]

I'm going to do what you want.

Hydra

Re: Private message to Hydra Lestrange

[alt_bellatrix]

Be more specific.

Re: Private message to Hydra Lestrange

[alt_hydra]

But I thought I wasn't supposed to answer the question with words.

Re: Private message to Hydra Lestrange

[alt_bellatrix]

Don't you try to get clever with me, girl.

Tell me what you are going to do. Now.

Private Message to Hydra Lestrange

[alt_narcissa]

Yes? Except what, dear?

I see your Mummy has written to you as well. Somehow I doubt it was to teach you the hex that makes bunny years, hm?

It's only a few weeks until Christmas holidays, but if you need anything - anything you don't want to ask your Uncle about - you may always write to your Auntie Narcissa, all right?

[alt_pansy]

Hey, Hydra! Are you coming to the party tonight? Please do!

[alt_blaise]

Of course they want you to fly. And surely there's not anyone better for Seeker while Harry's grounded.

I mean, I suppose the whole team could ground themselves while he's out, on principle, but what would that serve? And no one expects the whole lot of you to sit out during scouting season; it'd be daft to put careers on the line when we've got people who are definitely pro material. Which is just another reason they'll want you at Seeker: it'll show the side in the best light.

Re: Private message to Hydra Lestrange

[alt_bellatrix]

I'm waiting.

Re: Private Message to Hydra Lestrange

[alt_hydra]

No it's fine, she's just giving me some advice on something.
I know that I can write you, Aunt Narcissa, thank you!

Oh, and I was going to say that I think I sleepwalk sometimes, is all, like I used to do when I was younger.

From,
Hydra

[alt_hydra]

Well probably, I don't know what else I would do otherwise.

From,
Hydra

[alt_draco]

The team has a meeting tomorrow, so I'll be sure to bring your points up. I'm sure we'll be able to work out something that works for everyone and puts Slytherin at the best advantage.

You're not going.
