What a great year to be a Hogwarts student! And what an absolute honour it is that we get to host such a long-standing tradition. I've read about Durmstrange and Beauxbatons, of course, but it'll be very different to actually get the chance to meet and interact with the students there. I know there is a lot of disappointment going round about Quidditch being cancelled, but I just know once we get started with all of the Triwizard activities, no one will even miss Quidditch.

As always, if you have any questions or concerns and don't feel comfortable talking with a professor, my door is always open. As is, I hope, Leon's.

	That depends what you mean by 'bought.' (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Paying someone to take off theirs doesn't count. Even if you bought them dinner first. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	accio_lee 2012-09-06 09:11 pm UTC (link)
	I am offended! I don't pay people to take off their bras like some sort of pervert. Maybe I pay in services. (Reply to this) (Parent)

The number is the band size, and the letter is the cup size. The band size is usually the same number as the underbust (ribcage) measurement, though if the underbust measurement is an uneven number, it's usually rounded up 1 inch, since band sizes are all even numbers. There's a misconception that one is supposed to add 4 or 5 inches, but that's an outdated rule. The cup size is the relation of the bust measurement in proportion to the underbust measurement. It varies from manufacturer to manufacturer, but I think the usual way it goes is that if the bust measurement is an inch bigger than the underbust measurement, then the cup size is A. If it's 2 inches bigger, it's a B. 3 inches bigger, it's a C, and so on.

	Thank you. Finally someone who'll answer a bloke's questions. Let me guess, you're a Ravenclaw? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	daydreaming 2012-09-06 09:17 am UTC (link)
	That obvious, isn't it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	accio_lee 2012-09-06 09:16 pm UTC (link)
	Just a little. I think the attention to detail really gives it away. So basically, a big number means a big ribcage, whereas a letter further on in the alphabet means more actual boobage? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	daydreaming 2012-09-07 04:24 am UTC (link)
	Pretty much. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I have a question. Where are your open doors located? Is it the doors to your dorms, or your bedrooms? Or, better yet, to the famed prefect's bathroom? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	samantha_ 2012-09-06 01:23 am UTC (link)
	Definitely not the bathroom. Too steamy. You can find me either in the Heads office or via this journal, of course. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	It is a great year to be here, isn't it? It hasn't happened in such a long time and now it is here and we get to all see it. I wonder what the people from Durmstrang and Beauxbatons will be like? Do you think they will speak good English? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	samantha_ 2012-09-12 01:49 am UTC (link)
	I imagine most of them will speak English well enough but if they don't, perhaps some of us ought to brush up our French and -- is it Russian? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	accio_barney 2012-09-12 05:39 pm UTC (link)
	I don't know. How many languages are there? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I think so. You know, I never looked up much about it. I think I will now though. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	accio_barney 2012-09-15 11:12 pm UTC (link)
	I'd like to learn more about different places and the people from there. I think a book might be too hard though with work as well so I will wait till people get here and ask them. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm sure it will be very different, though it'll be a marvelous opportunity for all of us. (Reply to this) (Parent)
