eight; TRIP AND HOMEWORK

[onlyapparate]

Well, it certainly took me a while to find my journal, didn't it? I wish I knew how it got in the lake in the first place, but...

In any case, I'd like to remind my students that my lovely Teaching Assistant has dutifully posted the requirements for your next assignment. Remember to hand it in on the 15th, which is the day before the next field trip, so it should be easy to remember!

Speaking of field trips, I'll be joining you all as chaperon, since I know my way around the Ministry. We hardly got any field trips back in my days at Hogwarts, so be sure to make the best of it!

Why do we have to go by train, though? I-I wanted to meet you all there, but Dumbledore said that the train ride was "part of the fun." I'd rather that than the Knight Bus, that's for sure, but... None of you will mind if I pass out, right?

It's my first time chaperoning a big event like this, should I be worried?

Ironic?... Dangerous? You're kidding right? I'd be more worried of what'd happen while unconscious because of the people than just how 'dangerous' the train is.

Ahhhh, you're right!

I mean, I know you're right but... I still don't want to think about it! Just the thought of spending hours on that thing, moving who-knows-how-fast...! I'm starting to feel sick already...

D-Don't think about it! If you get motion sick just, uh, find something else to do on the train.

Reading a book might help! It'd keep your mind off everything... And you'd be awake too.

It's not that simple! From the moment I get on to the moment I step off, all I can think of is 'ohmyGodI'monatrainI'mgonnadieandleaveGrandpa'shousetonooneandwhowilltakecareofMiharuwhenI'mgone?'

Reading a book...? Isn't that one of the easiest ways to cause motion sickness!?
