 WARDED PRIVATE.Being on this ship reminds me of what is going to come. I think I'm going to be sick. Not necessarily because of what is going to happen over there, but the ship rocks and I feel the need to double over. What in blazes is this ship made out of, air? I feel at any point the ship is going to keel over and deposit us all in the ocean. That would be a fun experience, especially with that superior officer who barked that rousing lecture. We are to act like soldiers while in this ocean! I am going to get a Calming Draught and try to get some sleep. I feel the ocean getting to me. |

WARDED PRIVATE.I could not find a better poem such as this — stored in the library. I don't know how mother or father got hold of it. The Latin phrase that sealed the paper rings true: ( DULCE ET DECORUM EST PRO PATRIA MORI ) |

WARDED TO BRUTUS SCRIMGEOUR.How did the visit with your sister go? Is she doing well? |

WARDED TO AUGUSTA PREWETT.I know you were talking to Edmund Corner. Are you doing all right? |

WARDED TO MORTY LONGBOTTOM.Flirting, Morty? Did you happen to study the art in your free time or something? Because neither our parents nor I taught you that. |
|
| 016. algie matchmakes. |
[07 May 2010|12:28am] |
WARDED TO AUGUSTA PREWETT.Why were you so giggly when you came into the common room? If I may be so bold, you had been very sad and distraught lately so it came as a surprise to me.

WARDED AGAINST PROFESSORS.With all this talk of bottoms — the blowing up of them, the subsequent rating of them — I figured that I might as well say something about it. If there is anyone's bottom who needs to be blown off, it would surely be Tatting enemies of Britain, Muggle or otherwise. If war does come to our shores, I believe I am ready to participate. I will duel anyone I need to even if it includes any of and if anyone needs any sort of help in that area, I would be glad to offer assistance.

WARDED PRIVATE.My concentration keeps faltering when it comes to reading these twenty pages of Advanced Transfiguration. I feel like I am reading it over and over, it's not getting through to me. Transfiguration was never a favourite subject of mine, I have always had to study hard in order to pass. Perhaps I should ask for help. Although I trust him, Hopper wouldn't be too much of a help in the matter. Neither would Pomona, as it is not her strong suit. I know of no one else, except perhaps Morty, that could help. Perhaps I should soldier on and tutor myself. Mother always said that a wizard would be far more successful learning on their own, through trial and error, rather than relying on someone else's knowledge — even if they were quite capable in the subject matter.
Father would tell me the same thing, although in much fewer words. Thinking about what I would like to do after Hogwarts, I can only come up with a few professions. I know for a fact that I would like to work in the Ministry, as both my parents work there and — although I would never like to admit it — people would know of me through their work. Floo management would be incredibly boring, as would being a Curse Breaker. I have heard that Egypt is not terribly welcoming and the sandstorms are horrid. Working in the Department of Magical Games and Sports might be a positive experience, although my love for games ends at Quidditch so I might find myself falling asleep at my desk.
Maybe a hitwizard, Mother and Father would be delighted to hear that I want to join the Department of Magical Law Enforcement. Or would they? Mother would say that I have the talent to be an Auror. She's right. I, Algernon Longbottom, vow to become an Auror — even if it's the last thing I do.
Algernon Longbottom, Auror. Yes, I believe I like it.

WARDED TO AUGUSTA PREWETT.Augusta, are you all right? I must admit... Moody picked a most inopportune time to anger you. That was not the correct thing to do. So instead of chastising you for doing it, I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate you on a job well done. That stunning spell was a magnificent display of its capabilities to rip off someone's, if you would pardon my vulgar language, arse.
Now he might be frightened to duel you ever again. Because, to be honest, who wants to lose their arse?

WARDED PRIVATE.I can already tell that it's not very often that I have private thoughts. Perhaps it's because I don't have reservations about anything I do to begin with. In any case, I have been thinking and I guess Father is right. I haven't written home since before the holidays, but not without reason. Well, in retrospect, uh... perhaps with reason. A lot of things have happened since the holidays. Rumors of conscription, kissing her, getting hurt and subsequently not telling them about it. I don't know if I should tell them about the latter, as I assume they would have found out by now.
I can't believe I unknowingly admitted it to her. I wasn't thinking about our conversation at all. I hope she finds it in her heart to forget that she is a sunset. Or the morning fog. I don't know why I would let something like that slip, although I've thought it before. Sure, we are great friends and teammates, but... do I feel anything anymore for her? Whatever the case may be, I kissed her that day for a reason. I don't take it back either. I never have doubts about what I do or say or claim or think. I guess that just means I should listen to my heart more—
She did remind me of the morning fog though.

WARDED TO RODOLPHUS LESTRANGE. UTTERLY FAILED.Rodolphus, I have been meaning to ask you a question. Forgive me if I am wrong as I sustained injuries, so I might have been just slightly delirious during my stay in the hospital wing.
Did I hear you say the phrase "I love you"?

WARDED PRIVATE.My head My leg My arm I I saw I saw Gwen in the common room. Bloody, broken, bruised. Was it her? My head was bleeding, it could have been someone else. I should keep telling my Merlin, I don't know what to do. I don't know what to say. What was she doing out in the greenhouse? She doesn't even have Herbology, so she shouldn't have been hurt in the first place. It was her though, it was Gwen. I may have been hurt but I could see clearly.
Let her be alright.
Please. I

If you thought that there was a Banshee or some other manner of dark, insidious creature in Apparation lessons today, have no fear! It was a false alarm.
