Well, rats! I'm on detention now, maybe for a month or two. And that's after a REALLY WONDERFUL Quidditch game and scoring a couple of times. Folks were coming up to me after the game and saying stuff like "Well done" and "Getting a lot better, I see." I've not fallen off my broomstick since that first game where I played and scored once, and I guess folks notice things like that. And tonight after dinner, the team captain was talking to me and saying things like maybe I might not be on the reserve list so often, and I was getting all red-faced and kind of proud, and then our Head of House found me and....

I guess I better start at the beginning and besides I am just so... torqued... about the detention! I didn't MEAN for it to be a permanent sort of thing!

Okay, I'm doing pretty good in Charms and for some odd reason I'm doing even better in Potions. My Arithmancy would make a cat laugh and as for Astronomy, it's just as well all those planets and stars can stay up there without me helping them. Anyway... I came up with a potion that seemed a lot like SuperGlue in the Muggle world. But we all know that SuperGlue eventually does come undone, right? So I thought about it and thought about it and wondered what would happen if I *charmed* the potion so that it would stick better?

I played with it for a couple of weeks, and it seemed to get better and better. And then one day it WORKED. However, it worked so well that I totally ruined that cauldron because I couldn't get the potion out of it. So then I had to redo it until I could at least get a glop of it out, right? I mean, what's the use of having a super glue if you can't get it out of the pot to use it. Right?

So, anyway, there I was and I was like all dancing around and humming to myself when that nerdjerk Twinkletoes (no, not his real name but you know who I mean) came up behind me and grabbed the pot! HEY! I took off running after him and he ran out of the Potions classroom, took a right and then a left, and I was right on his rear when some 4th year students came out of a classroom — stepping between us. They kind of knocked into me and I bashed into the wall and Twinkletoes disappeared.

Everyone knew I was working on this — it was a project for my Potions class. Evidently, today after the Quidditch game, little Twinkletoes (who isn't a Hufflepuff, which we all know) decided to get his revenge for that game last month. And he put this potion on all the toilet seats in the boys' bathroom.

MEH!

So, now I'm on detention. The Head of House said something about permanent detention. I hope she is kidding. And the Quidditch captain isn't talking to me anymore.

MEH!

At least the Hogwarts hospital person came up with a countercharm to undo the effects of my potion. Maybe she'll let me know what it is. I certainly hope so. Because I have this REALLY GREAT idea for a Colour-Changing Spell....
