Private to Social Committee Members
So, I've been thinking that between the resorting and the current Quidditch mania which I don't see dying down any time in the foreseeable future that there might be some among the students here at Hogwarts who are going to feel a little left out.

I'm not sure what we can do but I thought that it might be worth mentioning to everyone.

Private to Close Friends(if you think you're on the list have at it)
So, I started thinking about how the resorting and things are going to affect the student body. And a lot of people are going to lose a large part of their support systems which might cause people to feel lonely or left out. And, let's be honest, the current Quidditch obsession (sorry Quiddich playing friends, you know I love all of you) might also make some people feel like they don't matter since all most of the school is talking about is Quidditch in one form or another. I mean, look at the journals. More than half of the posts and conversations have been about Quidditch and there are A LOT of us who don't play.

Anyway, I know that we can't do anything huge. But what I was thinking is that if we make an effort to so small things it might alleviate some of the bad feeling. Like comment in journals of people who don't get a lot of comments or something. I just don't want this resorting to make anyone feel bad about themselves, you know?

People talk about those things because that's what interests them, though. If more people were interested in the other things, it'd be that instead. You can't make people care about things they don't care about, or make them talk about things they don't. And it's not like anyone's stopped from talking about other things, or they can't go off with the other people that aren't part of it or don't care or whatever and talk about their things that we aren't part of.

It's like... like capitalism, I mean, only conversations. It just works out how it works out, it's not like anything's being forced or like it's personal or intentional.

And I mean there's private entries too, how do you know there aren't dozens of people talking about other things with their friends that have nothing to do with Quidditch at all, trading essay tips and things? There probably are, even, all over the place, you can't say that's all anyone's talking about when the public stuff's the only stuff you see, and that's not even including conversations in person.
