Well done, everyone!
I hope everyone had a marvellous time last night.
CCF, Prefects and others: If I didn't catch you last night (and I know I missed some of you, though I tried to find everyone), I've a small something for all of you. I have some of the tokens to Melinda so she could keep passing them along, there were so many to give and some of you left, I think, before I could catch up with you all. Token or not, thank you, each of you, for making Hogwarts shine.
Professor Sinistra, I'm sorry I wasn't able to stay for the whole time. I wasn't feeling very well toward the end. I think probably because I was so nervous before that I didn't have much to eat and then I got too hungry. Well, anyway. Thank you so much for everything. You really looked like a star yourself, last night. I'm so proud that Hogwarts is represented by someone like you.
Bravo to the Champions and their Escorts! Again, it must be said that you all looked marvellous. Miss Sandoval, congratulations in particular on gracing Mr Marvolo's arm with poise, especially for one so young.
And finally: Congratulations to Slytherin's own Draco Malfoy and Pansy Parkinson! Tintagel's performance of 'Hey, Hey Merlin' was the highlight of the night, no matter what other memories we may take away from the festivities. I'm sure we're all very excited and proud that a song celebrating our glorious Protectorate has gained such popularity on a much broader plane than the castle's walls. It's a significant accomplishment for you both, and well done.
Now, I know everyone is probably still quite excited by yesterday's delights and I hope that you all continue to enjoy the rose garden; Mr Milland tells us that it shall remain through the end of the school holidays. Or was that just through the Christmas holiday? Well, the weekend, at any rate.
Just please, please remember No Magic in the Corridors and even though it's holidays, please remember that school rules regarding curfews and other activities are still in effect.

Even though IRe: Private message to Penelope Clearwater
I mean everyone else had fun, I guess.
I just... everyone hated my speech and Lana bloody Sandoval was so horrid about it and I had to stand there and not spit in her eye and--oh, PLEASE tell me Ned's not having you at the wedding, is he? I don't think I could stand her smug little comments when she's the centre of attention like that.
Anyway. As soon as I could reasonably escape I did. Luckily there wasn't anyone else in the Tower when I got back. I had what Mum would call "a good cry" and oh, blast, I'm still a bit weepy.
Better stop. I'll blotch the ink.
Re: Private message to Penelope Clearwater
Penny, I'm so very sorry I couldn't be there to be with you. Of course it's reasonable to feel blue when you're at an event when most people are paired up, aside from yourself.
I haven't heard any word from Ned, so I don't know, but it's certainly possible to attend a wedding and stay as far away as possible from the bride and groom, citing the crush of people as an excuse.

Even if Avery laughed at the diamond chip. It's beautiful.
Re: Private message to Penelope Clearwater
Well, bollocks to Avery anyway, who asked him? It's your opinion that counts, and if you're happy with it I'm satisfied. I'm glad you like it.
Re: Private message to Penelope Clearwater
Love you, too.
Miss you.
