Light month, but I think we were on the heals of a player-exodus, right? To be honest I think I wondered at this point if the game would survive, because I'd been on so many that fizzled after about 6 mos.
I find it interesting that non-PC Daphne was being kind to Megan and doing embroidery with her. This fits well with their interactions at the end of the game!
Do I spy the first instance of Seamus inadvertently flirting with Draco? Haaaa
Percy insulting himself - classic.
Lucius continues to entertain: "Carrow, you've proven that torture leads to poetry. Bad poetry at that." (I think Bella probably found the poetry amusing)
Draco trying to be a good future Death Eater: "I don't read anything that mudblood writes, Father. I shouldn't, should I? Though sometimes I want to know what he's saying so I can put him in his place." He was quite in earnest, too. At this stage Draco was definitely still trying to emulate his father and be everything he'd been taught that a pureblood should be. But I did try to put in that suggestion that it was something he was slightly confused about rather than 100% comfortable with (a canon-based characterization, IMO).
I find it both funny and a bit sad that Harry was pretty much harassed every single Valentine's Day since Year 1, yet died a virgin.
It's amazing how much more secretive the DEs were, later on, compared to this stage. The invention of PMs totally changed the game.
I like how much presence Sarah Fawcett had from the get-go. One of the things about the game that still kind of blows my mind is how fully real some of our NPCs came to be in my head by the end.
Bella says: "That would be Hibbert, first name Merwin, I think. He was a few years older at school, and I remember that Razzer gave him the capped tooth via a box of cursed toffees." <---Teen Raz, obviously a role-model.
Draco is all upset when Hermione is given to Harry and Dennis is given to him. For multiple reasons. But most notably: "Why can't I have the girl one?" THE GIRL ONE.
