Oh! You knit! *picks up randomly on threads of conversation* I love to knit! Perhaps we ought to organize some sort of kitting and sewing society for some good purpouse. Like - to build an Orphanage, or to start a fund for general repairs of the school. And we can sell them at rallies, and host a cakewalk and a dancing contest. Yes! That's precicely what Hogwarts needs! A dancing competition. We have so many skilled students that it would simply be a waste not to somehow take advantage. When shall we hold it, though... perhaps the first of April? Yes. It's decided. The Hogwarts Knitting Society will sponsor a Dancing class and competition on the first of April. What sort of fliers should we create? I think I would make a wonderful treasurer, and you'd be a lovely president. Perhaps Emma can be the secretary? She has such a way with her words...

Nonsense. You musn't be involved with men who go about killing teachers! That's just irresponsible. I shall be sure to give him a thurough talking to upon meeting him. Such things must not be tolerated! Think of the poor teacher's pupils... what must they think when they hear news that a fellow student has killed thier teacher? Even if he were strict and cruel, the most hard-hearted student could not deny that the death of one's instructor is cruel and tragic.

Oh, don't worry about finding a boy for me, Ginny. It's a fool's errand, and I know that you are anything but a fool. It is my destiny to become an old maid, and I shall become one with great dignity. It does no good to fight against such a fate, and make a fool of yourself as well as a lonely old woman. It is far better to make friends while you can, so that when you grow old and bothersome, people are obligated to be kind to you and ease your final days as you decend toward a lonely, penniless, unfulfiled death.
