I don't know how or why magic works and I don't know how you'd test that or who you could ask about that or how you could find that out in any way. My necklace is still missing and I don't know who to ask about that, I meant to ask someone to summon it, but I didn't. Maybe I didn't want to ask someone, anyway. And I'm not homesick. I feel maybe like I should be, but I'm not. I kind of miss Bitsy, but that's not homesick, that's sister-sick or something like that.

Anyway.

And lessons are doing rather well. Not perfectly, not uselessly. Just well.

Wish I knew where my necklace was, though.

[alt_sally_anne]

Did you ever try asking the house-elves?

[alt_michael]

I don't really want to ask them.

[alt_sally_anne]

What do you have against the house-elves?

You could probably leave them a note if you didn't want to talk to them face to face. On your pillow, so they'd find it when they came to make your bed.

[alt_michael]

I just don't like them, that's all.

[alt_harry]

I think Sally-Anne's right, you should ask the elves. I've been keeping an eye out but I haven't seen it or anything.

[alt_michael]

I don't really think I want to ask them.

[alt_theodore]

When I lose things they're always in the last place I look.

[alt_harry]

Oh that's useful, Teddy.

[alt_theodore]

It was a joke.

I thought it was funny, anyway.

[alt_michael]

It'd be nice if it was in both the first and the last place I looked.

[alt_theodore]

I'll help you look after lessons tomorrow, if you want.

[alt_michael]

If you really mean it, then thanks. That'd be nice.

[alt_theodore]

I mean it. I'm good at finding things.

[alt_michael]

Thanks, then. That would be brilliant.

[alt_draco]

Why do you wear a necklace? That seems a bit girly.

[alt_michael]

Because mum gave it to me. It's meant to be good luck.

[alt_draco]

Are you having bad luck without it?

[alt_michael]

I might not be having as good luck as I would otherwise.

[alt_draco]

Maybe if you offer a reward, someone will return it. People are seem desperate for nice tea, I've noticed.

[alt_michael]

I'm not sure what I could offer as a reward, really.

[alt_draco]

You could say that its cursed if it falls into anyones hands other than yours?

[alt_michael]

...I like that one.

[alt_draco]

They call that scare tactics. It works really well on most people.

[alt_theodore]

That's what I said. It was a gift from his mum or something.

[alt_draco]

Oh, I didn't read about the necklace the first time.

[alt_theodore]

I read everything.

[alt_draco]

Really? Even what the mudbloods write in their journals?

[alt_theodore]

They could be plotting something.

[alt_draco]

Be careful. I'm sure that what they write is meant to make people feel sorry for them.

[alt_theodore]

Why would anyone feel sorry for them?

[alt_draco]

Who knows why, but there are people who do. Muggle lovers and blood traitors.

[alt_theodore]

There are lots of blood traitors in this school that can feel sorry for them. I just want to make sure that they're not going to sneak up on me and do something horrid.

[alt_draco]

Do you think one stole Corner's necklace? They steal magic, so the probably steal good luck, too.

[alt_theodore]

It's possible, but I don't want to get close enough to one to find out.

[alt_draco]

Of course not.

That girl one just wrote at me! Ugh!

[alt_theodore]

Maybe it thinks we're friends cos we gave it chocolate.

[alt_draco]

It probably wants more. Well, it's not getting any of mine!

[alt_theodore]

It's not getting any of mine either! Auntie Brunhilda only sends me a package once a month and I'm bad at saving it.

[alt_draco]

Yeah, I don't really have much left either.

[alt_hermione]

No it isn't!

[alt_draco]

Like I would really believe you.
