There are many things I'm grateful for, and one of those is an abundance of fellow Snakes within the dungeons that I can harass er... convince to answer your letters! Though, I've steered clear of Professor Snape this time. Three issues in a row might be pushing things, so I'm sure he's grateful that I found another victim volunteer! To answer your owls this time, please welcome Draco Malfoy!
Dear Whoever,
I've got friends living in the United States, and they say that November is Thanksgiving. I don't get it, but they say it's a time to show gratitude. Is that why it's Thanksgiving?
What's Thanksgiving?
Why Do You Want To Know,
That is... nice for your friends? Honestly, it sounds like a completely Muggle thing to me. However, at the urging of a certain editor, -glares at Ragna standing before him- I did find out that Thanksgiving is a North American holiday. With something about giving thanks to a bountiful harvest? So, I assume that was the answer you were looking for.
Draco Malfoy
SOUP People,
I'm constantly told to be grateful that I'm not failing OWLs. Why is that something to be grateful about? Isn't it NEWTs that are more important?
OWLs So What?
Unintelligent Buffoon,
Well, if you're the type of wizard or witch that does not care one wit about any career path. Go on and continue doing what you are doing. Yes, NEWTs are important, however OWLs are just as since getting into the NEWT-level classes is based on your OWL scores. Obviously, you're just barely passing your OWL classes if you're being told to be grateful. As someone who is ambitious in my goals - get off your lazy behind otherwise you will be polishing my shoes to a shine after we graduate.
Draco Malfoy
Dear Draco,
Firstly - I don't know if it's actually going to be Draco answering or not. I just thought it would be better to put someone's name there. Secondly - I was told to look at things I'm grateful for and appreciate them as you never know when they will leave. My question is this: What are you grateful for?
Grateful For Everything
Grateful,
Of all the! Merlin, I can see what Professor Snape has been giving Lokisdottir detention left and right if this is the kind of dribble he's been subjected to! Are you a Hufflepuff? Why are you asking questions in Slytherin's esteemed newspaper if you are?!
I will say this once, since I'm being threatened at wand point: I am grateful for being a Malfoy and being a Slytherin. There. Happy now, Lokisdottir?
Draco Malfoy
That may have gone slightly better than I thought it would. Even if Malfoy is mad at me now. Eh, he'll either attempt to get revenge for this or just pick a fight in the Common Room. Either way, I'm now grateful that it's going to be an interesting time while he gets his knickers untwisted.
Better go warn Nikky and NK that there might be some attempts against the SOUP offices. They'll be grateful for the warning. See y'all!
