Well, that was not really the outing I thought it would be.

I didn't think that someone not seeing the Aurors would be more exciting than what we all did see, for one thing.

Longbottom, I didn't mean anything by it when I thought maybe they didn't let you in. It should have been obvious, anyway, that there wouldn't have been any kind of...security risk, I guess. Anyway. No hard feelings, yeah?

I hope the actors actually show up for the panto tonight.

I didn't hit anybody! Or hex anybody. But that's not what that lying Ptolemy Baddock said.

Crabbe and Goyle cornered me in the last turn of the corridor, just before we were all about to go in. They said they didn't see why I should get to go in when my parents--well, never mind what they said. I'm sure you can imagine the general idea. And that led to one thing and then another, and then it was just a mess until Baddock peeled them off of me. My nose was bleeding all over everything. And then Baddock smirked as he said, 'Well, what did you expect, Longbottom?' He lied through his teeth to back up Crabbe when Crabbe told Professor Sinistra I threw the first punch.

No way would I have believed you'd be nutters enough to go around throwing punches at Crabbe or Goyle.

They're not going to make you keep rooming together, are they?

I reckon not, no. Don't know who they'll put Crabbe with, but they found a single room to stick me in by myself for now. Or they may have one of the prefects who are here as chaperones switch with Crabbe.

It better not be that Ptolemy Baddock, though.

Professor Sinistra wanted me to apologise to Crabbe. And I wouldn't do it. I said I was sorry there was a scene, but I wouldn't say sorry for something I didn't do. And that's why I got sent back to the Horseguards. I don't think they'll send me home early. But I don't get to do any of the rest of the events today.

Sorry to be whinging. But it was the Auror training I wanted to see most of all.

It's not whinging at all.

Crabbe and Goyle are idiots.

I expected better of Ptolemy, though.

I would have, too. He's always been fair to me, but I guess he doesn't care about anyone outside Slytherin House.

Maybe he still thinks he's got a thing or two to prove, so he decided to throw his weight around.

After all, he became Prefect under less than ideal circumstances.

But still, how transparent is that?

I have to do a bunch of lines, too. 'I will not shame my pureblood heritage."

I had to miss the theater tonight, but Professor Sinistra says if I turn in all my lines tomorrow morning, I'll be able to go with the group tomorrow.

I'll be keeping away from Crabbe and Goyle, though.
