I'M STAYING AT GOOSEBERRY

GOOD THINGS

NOT SO GOOD THINGS

+ ESSIE + All my new friends + Magical Rudiments + Prospero + I could study Music next year! + So many dances!!! And cute boys!  wait that's a separate point + CUTE BOYS + I don't have as many panic attacks here + I think Gooseberry actually makes me braver? + I've been on lots of adventures and no one's actually died! + Vegan options at EVERY MEAL + My friends back at Hogwarts have probably forgotten me already  this doesn't sound like a positive thing

- Anon/2, BRoTHeR, and the Drowned Boy - At least the dangerous creatures in the Forbidden Forest STAY in the forest and they've never actually kidnapped anyone. - I think my parents still want me to finish at Hogwarts - But I wouldn't be able to go back just for 7th year would I?? - It's really weird to think that I'd graduate without getting any NEWTs. I hope it doesn't make me UNEMPLOYABLE in Britain  thinking about the future is scary - Portkey lag is HORRIBLE - I kind of miss Hogwarts

LOOK, PIPPA, MORE GOOD THAN BAD. Mum and Dad say it's okay for me to stay another year or maybe two. So stop worrying.

I'm THINKING of picking up more clubs next year because I'm only in TWO at the moment (Choir and Gardening!) but I can't decide which ones to go for?? Definitely Drama but I don't know enough about the other clubs to make up my mind. Help!

NO	MAYBE?	YES!
Boating Duelling & Fencing Equestrian Quidditch Cheer	Archery Event Committee Gaming LARP Outdoor Exploration	Choir Drama Gardening

It's a shame Cheer doesn't interest you, but it's not for everyone. I'll be wanting someone to write to me and let me know how the new squad is getting along!

[fillefidele]

YESSSS Choir and Drama! They're super fun!

[notacad]

I'm trying out for Quidditch next year, and I want to stay in LARP. Maybe drama too?

[orangepip]

Oh, I love watching Cheer!! You always look AMAZING. I just don't think I'm athletic enough to do all the flips and throws and things.

[orangepip]

I know, I love Choir! And I've really enjoyed being a part of the drama productions so I guess Drama club is just more of the same?

[orangepip]

Oh, good luck with that, Will!! What position are you trying out for?? You should join Drama with me! What's LARP like?

[magitechnically]

I think I have the OPPOSITE problem!!! I really want to try for Quidditch so obviously CHEER is out, but I'm probably in TOO MANY clubs to keep up with if I make Quidditch next year. But I really like Fencing and Archery, so I think I'm going to stick with those.

Maybe you could ask to start your own club?? Like a BAKING club or an arts and crafts club or a BOY WATCHING CLUB something. You could teach more people about vegan cooking and stuff!!

[sylla]

Dueling and Fencing is a wonderful club, in my opinion.

[orangepip]

I just don't like how violent it is think I'd be very good at it.

[colemoss]

i don't know about the others. since i'm only in drama. but i'm glad you're joining!!

[...]

oh!! ennis and i finished the designs too. for the costumes. so we can start sewing next week. do you have time??

[notacad]

Chaser, because I feel like there are more transferrable skills, but maybe Seeker? We have a whole ton of seniors on our team in different positions, so I guess I gotta think!

You think? I don't know about the serious stuff, but it has to be worth a try, right?

LARP is all kinds of fun and you get to build a story through the whole year, which is great!

a BOY WATCHING CLUB oh my god

[orangepip]

OH that's a really tough problem to have!! Quidditch is a BIG commitment, but if it's what you want to do then you should totally go for it even though it's really dangerous!! I'm sure you could keep up with Fencing and Archery as well.

[Essie]
Can you KEEP A SECRET? Me and Cole are trying to start a crafting club!! I don't know if we'll be allowed to but I've got my fingers crossed! I'd really love a cookery club too because baking is the best! Do you think people would be interested in vegan cooking??

[fillefidele]

Kinda? I mean, in my book, if you're in Choir then the musical is a piece of cake. the Shakespeare was goddamn hard, though.

[orangepip]

Thanks! I feel like I can't be IN a production and not actually be in Drama!!

Of course I have time!! I can't wait to see the finished designs, I bet they look amazing.

[Cole]
Actually Cole, could I ask a favour?? I know you're SUPER BUSY so it's okay to say no if you don't have any spare time, but I'm making a dress that I HOPE will be pretty enough to wear to prom and it would be really great if you could just take a look at it before I get too far in, just in case I've messed up somewhere with the pattern or design?

[sochill]

I mean, we have Essie at Archery. And me, of course. Clearly it'd be a good choice for you.

[caritasmitis]

That's why I always used to be quite dance-heavy with a little less gymnastic flair than other teams, you know? Made us that bit different to the other houses and gave people with other talents a chance. But hey, I bet next year's captain will appreciate the input of artsy people on their routines!

[orangepip]

But you don't HAVE to try out for productions, do you? Learning Shakespeare lines would be really hard. I mean I was happy just being part of the crew when you did A Midsummer Night's Dream.

[fillefidele]

Oh no, sure you don't HAVE to. But I enjoyed it, definitely. I kinda liked knowing I COULD.

[orangepip]

I guess you could try out for all the available positions and see where you end up! That might give you more of a chance although I bet you're good enough to make it anyway!

Right! I might not try out for the serious stuff but I really love working on scenery and costumes so I could do that instead.

Oh wow, that sounds like a lot to keep on top of.

[notacad]

Beater is the only one full, so I guess I could try that! I'll ask Jeffy and Ree to see what they think. Thanks, Pippa!

Oh yeah, I forgot about that side of stuff! I guess that would be less pressure too?

Nah, not really. I mean, we record it and all, you know? Plus the upper classmen are always there to ask.

whoops i must have subconsciously remembered reading that conversation!!

[magitechnically]

It's been SO fun playing with Jeffy, Jade and Solo. And if I make the team next year, I'll get to play with Jeffy even MORE!! And JAIME!!! I've been practicing A LOT and me and Calvin and Micah are going to work on getting like SUPER BUFF or whatever Quidditch players have to be.

[Pippa]
OH! Wow!! I would TOTALLY join a crafting club with you!!! And I think they SHOULD be interested, even if they aren't vegan!! It's good to know about alternative ways to cook and maybe they'll learn they like some vegan things even more than non-vegan things!!

[colemoss]

you can. but i'm still glad you'll actually be in drama.

ok. i can find you guys later and we can pick times.

[Pippa]

it's fine. i want to be busy. i can look!! how far are you now??

i'm sorry she's feeling bratty today

[magitechnically]

You should TOTALLY join archery, Pippa!!! Don't let Ramon's involvement dissuade you.

No way be a brat to him he deserves it

[sochill]

Ouch Essie. My fragile feelings, my self-esteem, etc. etc. etc. You've wounded me deeply.

Don't less Essie's completely unwarranted negativity towards me dissuade you, Pippa.

[orangepip]

I guess it's good to challenge yourself!
