Bobbie:

I had my first Apparition lesson today. I can't take the test with the others, but I can go through the lessons and take the test later. You have to be seventeen in order to take the test. I won't be in time to take it here. I'm terribly disappointed, but, at the same time, if I take the lessons now, I can schedule to take the test (at an extra fee, of course) in November. Bah. Hang the rules! What if HE comes back? Shouldn't I be able to get out of dodge as soon as possible, including by Apparating? Apparently that's not the way the Ministry sees it, bloody blighters. Ah, well, rules are rules, right? I can't just go around doing what I want to until I'm 'of age'. Just you wait, world...

I didn't manage to go anywhere quite yet, but I'll get there- it takes a lot of concentration, according to our instructor, and I'm pretty terrible at concentrating this week. Maybe next week.

Wish me luck!

Draco is meeting me this evening. I'm only sort of looking forward to it. I mean, his 'friend', or whatever Goyle is to him, beat me up! Does he think I'm just going to be all, "Well, no harm done!"? Honestly, I'm still rather irritated that he's so silent in all this. I mean, I kind of understand that he has to be careful to not jeopardise whatever it is that his task is, but at the same time, does he have to be such a git while doing it?

I miss him, too, so that doesn't make any of this easier. I just wish that I could make all this crap with Him go away so we could just see where this all goes.

Bah.

Bobbie:

Why do we always meet on Sunday nights when we have early classes the next day? You would think that we would get it into our heads that this is NOT a wise idea.

So it's something like 3 in the morning...so what? Really, are classes and sleep that important?

YES.

So...a lot happened tonight. To start off, Draco said he would meet me after dinner, so I was there RIGHT after dinner. I didn't go do homework, I didn't talk to friends, I just went off and headed up to the tower. He kept me waiting for an hour and a half. I was about to leave when he showed up and started in on this long litany of what had happened, including Pansy not wanting to let him go off on his own, and I just about had it. I cut him off and I told him that he was making excuses and I didn't want to hear them.

Draco replied, "They aren't excuses- I really couldn't leave! I don't know how to explain where I am now to Pansy when she is in a good mood! If I were to just up and leave, she'd be furious and I wouldn't know what to say!"
