Justice!

I was really excited about the Halloween Feast on Saturday because the Ministry are honouring OUR ghost, the Fat Friar, who is the HUFFLEPUFF ghost! He's getting an award or something! I think it's because he got killed by some muggles ages and ages ago. I don't really understand that bit, but he's getting an AWARD anyway!

But the Headmistress says the Hall won't be decorated in Hufflepuff colours!! That doesn't seem fair! He's our ghost and he's being honoured by the Ministry! I bet if the Bloody Baron got an award, the Hall would be in Slytherin colours, green EVERYWHERE, but when it's Hufflepuff we get nothing. It's just typical. Nothing good ever really happens for Hufflepuff, because when we do get good stuff, like this, it just gets spoiled or taken away or something.

I don't mean to be disrespectful or anything to the Headmistress, but I don't see why we can't have our colours out. We do it at the end of term for the House Cup winner.

Anyway, I might ask the prefects about it and see what they say.

I was down with that flu the other week. I went down to the hospital wing and told Madam Pomfrey all my simptoms and what was wrong and what treatments I needed, but she didn't really seem to appreciate my help. My dad always says he wishes people would just tell the healers what's wrong straight away, instead of talking about little nothing things and then saying "oh, and by the way, my leg's fallen off" as they're heading out of the door! I don't think Madam Pomfrey agrees though.

Well, I don't see why it would be. It's not as if all of Hufflepuff is getting the award. Besides, I like the Halloween decorations we had last year. And it's still the Lord Protector's birthday, isn't it? So we've got that to toast, as well.

Sometimes I do wish we had more interesting colours, though. And that we could celebrate holidays that aren't Christmas and all. Celebrate as a school, I mean. I mean, I love Freedom Day and everything, but sometimes it would be nice to see everyone talking about Lakshmi or Ganesh and all, too.

I really like

I'm not saying we shouldn't have the normal decorations like last year, but the Fat Friar is getting a special award, so it would be nice to do something extra special because of that, like have the Hall in his house colours, which are Hufflepuff colours. If you won an award, the Hall could be decorated in your house colours, to recognise it and make it super special for you, so why not our ghost.

I reckon it would be nift to have some more celebration days, not just to get more feasts and that, but so we can learn about different holidays than just Christmas and Easter. Maybe you should as the Headmistress, or the Head Girl.
