It worked. LOL!!! I don't even know what to say. I loved Lockhart, and I am going to miss talking to him every day now about things that I could only talk to him about. However, I really think this is going to be the best move for me in the game. Taking Lockhart out instead of Pomfrey or Fred caused utter chaos with Angelina. Angelina now hates Maxine. Pomfrey/Fred are now going to truly trust me if they didn't before. I talked to Cormac about everything now and he seemed to have enjoyed the move and think it was brilliant. I have talked to everyone now and I think I am going to be in an okay spot. Draco is a bit upset, but he legit wasn't here until 30 minutes before the vote was due. I cannot protect him from voting Fred if he wasn't around all day. I also know he liked Lockhart a lot and because of that it would have been a risk to even tell him we were blindsiding Lockhart.

With this move in place, the only idol left is the Slytherin Idol. The only two people with enough supplies are Angelina and Mirabella. My hope is that Angelina obtains it. However, either way I think I can work with it. Pomfrey and me both know to be on the look out with both of them possibly getting that idol. Fred still has the heir power for the future to also be used as needed.

I am going to try and sit back as much as I can to let things unfold. Lily mentioned Pomfrey/Fred/Me/Her working together. I know Mira/Maxine of course want to work with Pomfrey/Fred/Us, and that would be 5. Draco is still pullable. I am still working 1:1 With Angelina and bonding with Amos. I still have my hands everywhere. I think and hope this works out for my game and gets me deeper. Let's get the real game started now!!

This round is going to be interesting. I am nervous for myself due to the big move that last round was but have hope that my allies and social skills will save me/prevent my name from coming up. Mirabella and Angelina both have enough supplies for the Slytherin immunity idol, Angelina is claiming that it was already found--Mirabella is not claiming anything. Therefore, the thought is that Mirabella has the Slytherin immunity idol. In addition, she wins the immunity challenge. Gosh, make yourself more of a threat there Mira.

Pomfrey/Fred/Myself make a chat together and talk a bit about Angelina or Amos going home, ideally. Ideally us three work together going forward and maybe have Mirabella/Maxime leave soon and have us work with Lily/Draco or something in the future.

I talk with Draco, who of course, wants Amos to go home. He also mentions that come Final 7/Final 8 we need to drop Mirabella and Maxime. This works so perfectly to the conversations with Fred and Pomfrey. Pomfrey and me literally have mentioned 10th place: Amos, 9th Place: Angelina, and then finally going for a Maxime or Mirabella.

Lily seems to be interested, ish, in working with Pomfrey/Fred/Me. She mentions Maxime's name due to wanting to weaken Mirabella. I tell her that I want to see what majority is doing first. But will not be voting her, and will let her know what I ultimately end up doing tomorrow. Amos also mentions that he would like to see Maxime go.

The only person I don't know what they are thinking about is Angelina? And Lily said Angelina wants Maxime to go? Which makes sense.

So the plan:

Ideally, we have a good majority on Amos and he goes home. We tell Lily what is happening if we can(Pomfrey and me) so we don't lose her trust. Ideally, Fred/Me/Pomfrey/Mira/Draco/Maxime = all vote Amos and he goes, Angelina/Amos/Lily vote for Maxime. I have no idea what Cormac is doing since he is never around?

Worst case would be if Mira doesn't have the idol: But Angelina does, and she uses it to save Amos. Or if Mirabella has a secret deal with Angelina/Amos because of how quiet she has been and is really doing something else. My thought is that I have worked my social game enough to have that situation lead to a Pomfrey vote. If for some off the wall chance Mira is trying to do something crazy--Pomfrey goes. She, in Mira's eyes, is holding more glue in alliances together. If for some off the wall chance Angelina has the idol and saves Amos--Maxime would go.

My ultimate worry entering this round is that people will be on to my plan of working with more of the middle bitches. If people start trying to target Fred/Pomfrey/Me it would cause my game to get really shitty again. I think Pomfrey would always be target #1. However, I think if this is going to happen--it won't be yet, and I don't think it is in the works. I just have to keep my eyes and ears open for every scenario. #paranoia

Amos has been very nice to talk to recently, which makes this very sad. However, he doesn't add anything to my game. I don't see myself working with him long term. Lily/Cormac/Fred/Pomfrey/Draco are the people I feel are going to be useable to me moving forward. Everyone else, in my eyes, has to go.

Angelina/Amos/Mirabella/Maxime = need to be the next four to get out of here. Then we can make some moves and figure more stuff out. <3 <3 Crossing toes and an Amos vote will go through easily.

Ugh! So odd. Maxime has been talking shit to Angelina by blaming Pomfrey/Fred for saying her name last night. Even though this is true, it shows that Maxime cannot be trusted. Angelina told Fred, Pomfrey, and me this was going on. I could totally see Maxime doing this. She needs to shut her mouth and Amos would have been an easy majority. The fact that she did this makes Fred/Pomfrey unsure of everything and want to just take out Maxime now. Ultimately, I want Maxime, Mira, Angelina to go ASAP. I am thinking also Amos but at least Angelina/Mirabella/Maxime. I feel like Cormac, Fred, Pomfrey, Draco have potential with me to work with them and do some damage at a final 6/Final 7 to try and make it to the Final 3. I hinted to Pomfrey of course as us being a Final 3. I also mentioned that Cormac/Draco/Lily could potentially be added in there if things go sideways with Fred.

So ultimately if Fred/Pomfrey want Maxime to go because of the loud mouth she has been with Angelina. I can do that, and make it work. I think next round(Top 9) is going to me the most interesting in terms of the vote. I think Fred will have to use his petrify power to make things happen.

The one and only downside to a Maxime vote is that Mirabella likely should not be told about it. If Mirabella knows that Maxime is going, she could use her idol to save Maxime or could try something to save Maxime which would not be good.

Cormac/Lily/Amos/Fred/Pomfrey all mentioned they are doing Maxime. So it is majority at this point. I left an offline message for Draco to do it as well. It should be an 8-2 vote, 8 votes Maxim and 2 votes Amos.

--I am hoping Mirabella is really by herself, my paranoia of her doing other things is coming into play. I am soooo worried about that.

I think this is hilarious that Maxim uses her idol last round(given to her by Lockhart) to take Lockhart out, and here she is going the exact round after.

My thought might be to tell Mira about this vote at the last minute. But another part of me wonders if it is even worth it?

Maxim goes. Fred/Pomfrey/Me can pull Draco as 4 votes against Amos, we could petrify one of their votes. We could also potentially get Cormac/Lily with us.

Crossing toes this Maxime vote doesn't screw me. She should have kept her mouth shut. What the actual fuck is she thinking.
