“He had never learned anything about the mark that had glowed on her head during the duel. The Wyrdmark was impossible to decipher. It either meant “nameless” or “unnamed,” or something akin to “anonymous.”
“Ah, there’s Penelope!” said Percy, smoothing his hair and going pink
again. Ginny caught Harry’s eye, and they both turned away to hide
their laughter as Percy strode over to a girl with long, curly hair,
walking with his chest thrown out so that she couldn’t miss his shiny
badge.
OP:
“Well, hello there!” he [Lockhart] said. “I expect you’d like my autograph, would you?”
“Hasn’t changed much, has he?” Harry muttered to Ginny, who grinned.
OP:
“Daddy sold it to them,” said Luna vaguely, turning a page of The
Quibbler. “He got a very good price for it, too, so we’re going to go on
an expedition to Sweden this summer to see if we can catch a
Crumple-Horned Snorkack.”
Hermione seemed to struggle with herself for a moment, then said, “That sounds lovely.”
Ginny caught Harry’s eye and looked away quickly, grinning.
HBP:
“E is always so thoughtful,” purred Fleur adoringly, stroking Bill’s
nose. Ginny mimed vomiting into her cereal behind Fleur. Harry choked
over his cornflakes, and Ron thumped him on the back.
HBP:
On the landing he bumped into Ginny, who was returning to her room carrying a pile of freshly laundered clothes.
“I wouldn’t go in the kitchen just now,” she warned him. “There’s a lot of Phlegm around.”
“I’ll be careful not to slip in it.” Harry smiled.
HBP:
This strategy meant that Ron was not left out, and they usually had a
laugh with Ginny, imagining Hermione shut up with McLaggen and Zabini.
HBP:
“I can fix that,” said Harry, landing beside the two girls, pointing
his wand at Demelzas mouth, and saying “Episkey.” “And Ginny, don’t call
Ron a prat, you’re not the Captain of this team —”
“Well, you seemed too busy to call him a prat and I thought someone should —”
Harry forced himself not to laugh.
HBP:
Harry heard Ginny saying blithely to an irate Professor McGonagall, “Forgot to brake, Professor, sorry.”
Laughing, Harry broke free of the rest of the team and hugged Ginny, but let go very quickly.
HBP:
Her imitations of Ron anxiously bobbing up and down in front of the
goal posts as the Quaffle sped toward him, or of Harry bellowing orders
at McLaggen before being knocked out cold, kept them all highly amused.
Harry, laughing with the others, was glad to have an innocent reason to
look at Ginny […]
HBP:
“Three Dementor attacks in a week, and all Romilda Vane does is ask
me if it’s true you’ve got a Hippogriff tattooed across your chest.”
Ron and Hermione both roared with laughter. Harry ignored them.
“What did you tell her?”
“I told her it’s a Hungarian Horntail,” said Ginny, turning a page of the newspaper idly. “Much more macho.”
“Thanks,” said Harry, grinning. “And what did you tell her Ron’s got?”
“A Pygmy Puff, but I didn’t say where.”
Ron scowled as Hermione rolled around laughing.
[Notice how Harry set her up for that joke]
HBP:
“She’s [Fleur’s] not that bad,” said Harry. “Ugly, though,” he added
hastily, as Ginny raised her eyebrows, and she let out a reluctant
giggle.
DH:
Harry turned away, smiling to himself. He had a funny notion that he
would find a chapter on compliments when he found time to peruse his
copy of Twelve Fail-Safe Ways to Charm Witches; he caught Ginny’s eye
and grinned at her before remembering his promise to Ron and hurriedly
striking up a conversation with Monsieur Delacour.
DH:
“Yes, my tiara set off the whole thing nicely,” said Auntie Muriel in
a rather carrying whisper. “But I must say, Ginevra’s dress is far too
low cut.”
Ginny glanced around, grinning, winked at Harry, then quickly faced the front again.
Rowan is a Prince. He seems to be the next in line for the Throne in Doranelle. I think Mave will be killed at some point in the series and Rowan will take up the throne. Because of that if Aelin was to marry for politics, that would be another great reason for Rowan and Aelin to be end game.
As I promised last week, I took step-by-step photos of one of my summary notes this week. I’m gonna be using my materials engineering course summary as an example here.
So I open my lecture notes and the slides from this week, and draw up a brief outline of what the headings of my summary should be. I use headings from the slides, or chapter titles, or just make up my own.
I start with the big heading on top. This is the title that links everything in this summary together.
Below the title, I write down its definition.
I start filling up the page from the corner. I decorate empty-looking spaces with ribbons and boxes.
I link connected ideas by using arrows.
I know intuitively when it is necessary to use post-its so that I don’t run out of space. I always need to consider how much space I’m going to need for the rest of the summary.
I position the post-it on the side of the page and continue on the page.
I just have one diagram left, which will fill up the rest of the page. Since I like to put a box around diagrams I draw in a rectangular box.
Summary complete! (This summary took 1.5 hours in total)
