Suffice to say, that wasn't the ending to the ball that I hoped for. I'd never broken a bone before and hopefully I never will again. Although Madame Pomfrey healed it very quickly, I still feel like one giant bruise, in and out. And my dress was ripped. I don't know what happened to my mask but I suppose it was unlikely that I would use it again anyway. My head's still sore but I'll probably be heading back to the common room later today.

Um, does anyone know what happened?

It's a good thing I started making my mask for the ball early since I seem to have underestimated how long it would take. Still, it got finished in time and I'm rather proud of it. Not to boast but I think it's as good as the ones I saw in the stores at Hogsmeade. It was actually quite fun making it - if I didn't want to pursue my baking, it would be fun to do this sort of thing for a living. I'll have to find somewhere to put it after tonight. I wonder if my teddy bear would fancy wearing it...

Congratulations Badgers! You were fantastic today and I'm so proud of you all! The Ravenclaw team played very well too but I just can't go past my house.

Extra congratulations to you, Captain! You're doing a fabulous job and are finally making everyone sit up and take notice of Hufflepuff.

Are either of you thinking about having as a date for the dance? I'm not sure if any boys would ask me anyway, I just wondering how you two stand.

A masquerade ball sounds like so much fun! I can't wait! It also gives us girls an excuse to go dress shopping, or raid each others wardrobes. Although I do have a really pretty dress I still haven't had a chance to wear...

Good luck in the game, Hufflepuff!

Um... I think I'm going to take a vow of silence until Flitwick can fix our voices for a little while.

On the positive, it was an interesting charm and I like that we can focus on some more alternative ones to the usual.

I have the most rotten cold right now and I blame this atrocious weather. True, it's a chance to stay in my fuzzy socks, have tea and polish off my remaining biscuits but I'm not sure that cancels out the feeling horrible part. At least it feels cozy down in the Hufflepuff dorms. I wouldn't fancy being in one of the towers in this weather.

I'm sorry I missed this apparently amazing muggle game too. It sounds like fun.

Well I'm not sure what to say about that notice, seems a bit of an over-reaction. I'd have thought someone like the minister was supposed to be above worrying about what schoolkids say.

But before I get into trouble just for saying that, I'll change topic. I know a lot of people have used this rain as a chance to jump in puddles and, as nice as that sounds, I've got a bit of a cold coming on so I've decided to put my energy to better use. Therefore, Hufflepuffs, if you'd like some biscuits, come and see me. I've got more than enough to go around!
