GIP, with thanks to arianwen who apparently has nabbed every pretty Lupin-icon ever. This one just stood out for the sheer angst. Tragedy.

I am terrified about my exams. Fidan called this afternoon. With the idiocy born of politeness, I asked, "So, how much revision are you doing?"

"Oh, I'm aiming for ten hours a day."

I was staring disconsolately out of the window for a long time, watching the birds soaring into the pines. Magpies and crows, I think. I'm going to fail my exams.

I got an email from Pedar today. I can count the number of times he's emailed me on one hand, so I feel the need to quote it:

"Hello, princess. Last day today. It has been a good visit, but it would have been much better with you. All the best for your exams. Do you need any help in getting up in the morning?"

Well, it made me smile. It says a lot in a few words.

I'm tired but I don't want to go to bed. I really don't.

Oh, a couple more things about PoA:

I saw Sir Cadogan! He was in a full suit of armour, and I suspected I'd imagined it, but Simon said later that he saw him too.

Also, I liked the nod to OotP when Dumbledore is talking about his name: "It's a very long name." It is, if I remember rightly, Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore. Which has always amused me.

And yeah... that's it. I ought to write something, or read something, or go to bed, or something.
