SECURELY WARDED TO ANTHONY AND MICHAELLord Vader sends his regards and says that he saw news of Death Eater attacks in Ipswitch and Bristol in the post when he was censoring it. But then he told me that the IS took Padma and Ernie in for questioning last night so I don’t know what to do with him.

Riddles are basically games and I have a book full of them. They're not very challenging but I will do what I must to avoid dying of boredom. And don't say "but you can't die of boredom" because I am 97% sure that is what happened to Professor Binns.
Anyway.
No sooner spoken than broken. What is it?

SECURELY WARDED TO MANDYYou don’t have to reply to this I just need to say it. It’s probably partly my fault that I never tried to explain properly but most of the time I feel like you won’t let me. I can’t think about Things are so fuc I try to avoid thinking about things and if that somehow comes across as indifference or ambivalence I can’t help it. I wasn’t trying to spite you or anyone else. The majority of those detentions came from not doing Muggle Studies homework, or from not doing that homework well. Just from that one thing. And maybe this will sound stupid but I just felt like that was the one thing I could control in this mess. I didn’t have to write lies or twist facts or do anything to go along with her propaganda. I wanted to feel like I had some measure of control over my own life again. And that was the one tiny way I could do accomplish that. It had nothing to do with trying to upset you or anyone else.

SECURELY WARDED TO STEPHENSo are we still on for the whole Hogsmeade thing or did that punch addle your brain because I think to some insane degree where you’re going to start saying sanctimonious shit like ‘make love, not war’?
SECURELY WARDED TO MICHAEL AND ANTAre you going to Hogsmeade tomorrow? If not, do you want me to pick up anything for you?

SECURELY WARDED TO MANDYI didn’t realize that I was
I didn't know that
You’re not
I’m sorry
Fuck
SECURELY WARDED TO MICHAEL AND ANTI feel like – you know that scene in Return of the Jedi when Luke takes off Vader’s helmet and you see that he’s just some guy in a suit? I’m starting to think that Stephen is just a sad little pale man in a suit. I mean, I still really dislike him but this is all very confusing.

SECURELY WARDED TO D.A.I’m nearly done with the new draft of the “Lies Professor Carrow Told Me” pamphlets. Yes, it was originally entitled “Muggles” but that just sounded boring. I think this is more attention grabbing. Anyway, could someone act as editor if any of you have the time? I mean Ernie is going to read it over but – no offense – three heads are better than two and four are better than three and whatnot.

SECURELY WARDED TO ANTHONYPlease just – read all of this before you respond, I know that you’re you and you’ll do that regardless. You’d probably read a post-it note through twice before commenting but I have to ask anyway. I’ve been thinking about this for a while now, ever since the She Carrow decided it was acceptable to hit Lavender and use an Unforgivable on a sixth year for something as trivial as talking out of turn. Everyone keeps saying it is going to get worse, and I’m not an idiot. Okay, I’m not an idiot all of the time. It wasn’t difficult to see that this would be next, not after what he had the sixth years learning. But after class today, when I considered things – I’m not reaching the conclusion that I thought I would. And I need you to read this through, and really examine it. Because if you can’t see merit or value in this – then I’ll know it’s just rubbish and I’ve really started to lose it.
The logical response that I’m coming up with is that the best course of action in Dark Arts would be to attempt to fake your way through the lessons. To fake attempting the spells. To try not to learn, and I could do that. It would be really easy to do that. From what I’ve read, from what I’ve seen so far – the Unforgivables are difficult for a reason. If people don’t try to learn, if they don’t practice and put in effort then it will be that simple. They won’t learn. That seems to be the best option right now, the most morally acceptable option in a difficult situation. And I don’t want to argue with anyone that’s suggesting that course of action. I know that I’m not looking at this from the same perspective. I didn’t have – I wasn’t I’m lacking the proper background. I probably don’t fully grasp the sociological implications associated with this type of magic. But even when I attempt to factor that in I’m still not happy with that answer. I don’t think I want to try faking my way through lessons. It works in Muggle Studies; it’s different in that class. Memorizing every prevarication that comes out of the She Carrow’s mouth would do nothing to help me. It wouldn’t increase my odds of su – it wouldn’t benefit me in any way.
If we’re just calculating advantages, if we made one of our lists and tried to factor in every advantage that we have, wouldn’t we be throwing away an opportunity to at least bring the scales a little bit closer to even in this one category if we don’t at least try? If other people know how to use the Unforgivables, then aren’t we wasting an opportunity if we don’t at least gain a fundamental knowledge of them? I don’t want to be unable to use one if I need to use one. I don’t want to refuse to learn something that might prove useful just so that I can gain a bit of moral high ground. And I’m not trying to say that anyone else is wrong for wanting to do that, I just think that – this isn’t black and white. And, personally, I don’t want to – I don’t think I can afford not to try. And that’s not some crazy thought, is it?

SECURELY WARDED TO ANTHONY1. The summer when we visited the Cambridge Library and mocked the University students.
2. The summer before second year when I tried to teach you to play football and you just kept turning your back whenever I kicked the ball at you.
3. The summer before fifth year when I did those sleep experiments.
4. The second time we went to see The Lion King. When that kid kept kicking the back of your seat.
Also, I’ve been thinking; remember in October when we started trying to work out a charm that would change ink different colors depending on your mood, or to indicate sarcasm? Did we save the notes for that?

WARDED TO MICHAEL AND ANTHONYWhy are girls so mental? And don’t give me that ‘oh it’s probably her time of the month’ bullshit. Because that is incredibly offensive and completely false, she’s like this all the time. All the time. I haven’t even done anything. It doesn’t matter what I do or don’t do. I mean I always knew she was kind of insane but I can’t deal with this right now. One day she’s climbing into bed with be because she can’t sleep and the next it’s this passive aggressive fuckery about how I’ll never be one of her favorite people. Is this because I did something or because I didn’t do something or are all girls just like this once you start dating them? I don’t even think that’s a real question; I don’t even want to know the answer I just want to stop thinking about this.
Do either of you have an essay that I could proof read? I need to do something else.
