I Solemnly Swear that I am Up to No Good

I think Harry's going a bit bonkers. He keeps wanting me to go get books about house-elves of all things. And he told me about I'm not sure why.

Also, I've heard a lot of people saying things, talking about who the "heir" is, and some people say it's the heir of Slytherin, and some people say it's Harry because he's the Lord Protector's heir, and I overheard someone talking and I thought what if Harry is the heir of Slytherin? Only I know he isn't the one doing this stuff, I'm sure of it, I mean, I wasn't with him in the hospital wing or anything but I'd know because he couldn't hide it if it was him.

What do you lot think?

Well it isn't so much that he doesn't do the work. He just doesn't like reading or writing alot, which you know a lot of boys are like, but he can be quite smart about things, and I don't think he's stupid or anything, and he does write everything himself, without really asking me. I don't know if that's because I'm a Muggle born though.

Well he'd have to copy it all anyway as it has to be in his handwriting or people would get suspicious.

Anyway Hermione have you learnt anything interesting about elves? With the books Harry's having you read right now? I didn't have a house elf growing up of course. Having house-elves taking care of me is one of the nicest things about Hogwarts really. I mentioned to Pansy once how much I like the smell of rosemary and the elves started making sure my bed linens always smelled a little of rosemary after that. They leave sandwiches for me if I'm up really late. If they think I've stayed up far too late they put out warm milk.

My mum took care of me like that but we never had enough

Not really. I mean, they were kind of nasty once, I suppose, is what all the books say, but I wonder whether that isn't just how the books say that Muggles are nasty, because it makes people feel okay about using them as servants.
