Feb. 7th, 2015 05:32 pmI have been thinking that I want to make a public journal entry, as Mum suggested, like Remus did, and I wanted to run the idea past you first so I'm sure I'm seeing all the implications. As far as I know, Hermione and I are the only Muggleborns who have journals. And if we want to make a choice about which one of us should REALLY hack off MLE by making an entry, it might be good for me to draw the fire since Hermione is out there at times hunting for horcruxes. Besides, I played REALLY stupid a lot more than Hermione did, so I think if I posted, it would make a stronger impact, that muggleborns (even the ones that just say 'Yes, master' and 'No, master') have a lot more going on in their thinking than purebloods may suspect.
I've no intention of admitting that I'm an animagus, of course, and I'm wary of saying much about my connection to the Longbottoms. But I think it might really open the eyes of some of the kids at Hogwarts. They KNEW me--the older ones, anyway. But they knew me as boot and I think I hid my true self pretty well. I think it's time to make it clear to them that they were directing all the slurs and kicks and snubs at somebody who was quite a bit like them. It might challenge some of their thinking if I tell that that the Sorting Hat saw me as a real wizard and put me into Ravenclaw--which I could easily do without implicating anyone else, since people knew I was often alone in the Headmistress' office.
What do you think? The thing I worry about the most is whether it might create any trouble for Fred and George, because people know they were fond of me. Would they get into trouble for, I dunno, leading me onto radical ideas or anything? They certainly couldn't be accused of having anything to do with my escape from the git.
It might be that no one will dare to ask me questions, but at least it will get them thinking. Besides, it would be loads of fun to tell Padma Patil and Lana Sandoval-Pennifold that I'm in the same House they are.
