So because I am all about friends. I told Fred I would throw my round if he wanted me to and felt unsafe. I feel somewhat safe with my tribe. I am all about making friends and keeping them. I am so happy Cormac and Lockhart are on this team. Lockhart doesn't seem to like Cormac though. He told me that Cormac takes forever to reply, and isn't very friendly. I am getting vibes of who that random vote may have been. If this is the case and Cormac VS Lockhart becomes a thing then it may not just be easy vote offs' for Lily. However, Lily is kind of boring so far. I am trying my best to see what is up with her. If she doesn't get exciting soon I am going to have to write her off as a bore and first out of this tribe. Rita hasn't been around yet since the swap but I know from talking to her before Hagrid's boot that she loves Lockhart. If anything I could see Lockhart/Rita wanting us three to be tight and use Cormac for a Lily vote if we ever did lose. However, I somewhat like Cormac after talking to him today. I would ideally like to work with him more then Rita at this point. Rita is social but sometimes it is hard to keep the conversation going. If I am going to have a long lasting ally, I need to be able to talk to them and run though ideas without waiting 30 minutes for a response.

OMG. I can't with Rita right now. Her Hufflepuff guesses are so pointless and then she tries to like share with me. I only gave her my first guess's answer. I thought me telling her this strategy would snap her into reality but it hasn't. I need to just avoid giving her mine, even if it is shady. Her guesses are not helpful so why should I give her my helpful ones??? #rant

Sooooooo, we ended up losing the challenge. Cormac somehow forgot to post his challenge answer even though he has been online to talk here and there. It has to be the easiest challenge to do, all you have to post is 1 word in your confessional. Like I said before though, Lily is like not very entertaining or fun to talk with. She is kind of boring and only likes to talk on the surface so far. The obvious thing before our loss is that Lily would go home--the only person not from our original tribe. After the loss, Cormac's name is also a possibility for not doing the challenge. I, however, like Cormac. I talk to him a lot and I think he would have my back in the game more so then Lily who I barely know even though we have chatted a bit here and there about food or whatever she is doing with James Potter (yawn). Cormac started the conversation with almost wanting to save Lily attitude. I really get the vibe that he wants Lockhart to go, and when I kind of shut down that idea--and said it would be easier for us to target Lily, he kind of agreed. I am hoping I didn't offend him but what a wreck it would be to take our Rita/Lockhart..have the other one hate us and possible hate from the other OG tribe mates? Like too soon man, too soon.

Moving on wards, I talked to Lily and just hinted at Cormac being the easy vote due to challenge suckage and wanting to talk with Lockhart and Rita about it as well.

I talk to Lockhart who is back and forth between the two and wants to speak to Rita first.

This is when shit goes sideways and odd: Rita. So she starts talking about the idol, and Mirabella possibly trading the idol to Lily to save her and we have to split votes. And then she confuses me. She keeps asking me questions of who I like better between Lockhart and Cormac, hinting that she likes Cormac better? But I always thought Lockhart liked Rita so I was talking to him at the same time. He gets just as freaked about the conversation with Rita.

A little bit of it for you:


Ron Weasley [9:59 PM]
ik
i wonder if him and lily r close
so he is tryin to save her

I suggested splitting to her if she’s worried
But I don’t
Like the cut of her jib

Ron Weasley [10:23 PM]
yah idk if she is just paranoid

Gilderoy Lockhart [10:23 PM]
She was trying to hype up

Ron Weasley [10:23 PM]
or what she is doing

Gilderoy Lockhart [10:23 PM]
How much she loved me

Ron Weasley [10:23 PM]
same to me

Gilderoy Lockhart [10:23 PM]
Last round

Ron Weasley [10:23 PM]

Gilderoy Lockhart [10:23 PM]
But she’s feeling weird rn

Ron Weasley [10:23 PM]
she did that to me just now
kind of over her
but i dont trust lily either

Gilderoy Lockhart [10:23 PM]
Last round and then the day we swapped

Ron Weasley [10:23 PM]

Gilderoy Lockhart [10:23 PM]
She was like
OMG YAY ILY WERE TOGETHER

Only trust you
Idk what to do

Ron Weasley [10:24 PM]
ugh did she give u her like

Gilderoy Lockhart [10:24 PM]
Yep
I literally only guessed

Ron Weasley [10:24 PM]
over her right now

Gilderoy Lockhart [10:24 PM]
So she’d get off my back

Ron Weasley [10:24 PM]
her hufflepuff guesses dont even help

Gilderoy Lockhart [10:24 PM]
It was like
A ton of 8s and 5s
And she got 2 right
Rita is now like
Interrogating me
About the petrifivation

Ron Weasley [10:28 PM]
me too
omg im over rita right now
lets just blindside her
lmao jk idk

Gilderoy Lockhart [10:28 PM]
LOL
That would be
Dyilaruous

Ron Weasley [10:29 PM]
lmaooo

Gilderoy Lockhart [10:29 PM]
Hilarious

Ron Weasley [10:29 PM]
so over her hype ass

Gilderoy Lockhart [10:29 PM]
Can we
Vote out our whole tribe?

Ron Weasley [10:30 PM]
id b so okay with that


So cut to an hour or so go by, everyone seems to calm down. Rita, Cormac, and Lockhart. But now I am going crazy! Like what the hell. What if an idol is played? What if they are all voting me out? True paranoia. Paranoia = This tribe.

Lockhart kind of ends with Lily should go, he likes Cormac after talking to him for a bit. Rita wants Lily to go, but is okay with not splitting votes as long as Lily is petrified. Cormac seems sets on Lily to go to save himself. Lily is who even knows, she doesn't talk much to save herself?? Like which is odd in itself, like she has to have a plan in motion?

I am still talking here and there to Fred, but it is kind of awkward because he doesn't give me much either. I just want Madam Pomfrey back in my life but that isn't going to happen. I need to rely on Cormac/Rita/Lockhart and really just suss out who is going to be my true ally going forward. I am hoping we learn soon that Lily is petrified so the worst case would be that she plays an idol and then it is a 4-0 vote. We then have to revote as a group of 4 which would be a mess, but I would prob ask Lockhart if he wants to blindside Rita or something. LOL.

Can this round just be over? Gosh.

So Cedric was petrified. The first thought was shit, because the ideal was for Lily to be petrified. However, Rita's paranoia is now all making more sense to me. She created a monster. We ran through the scenarios. I am pretty upset that Lockhart is like nowhere to be found, because this is the time when we can really test out allies and who is going to be around for these hard times. Cormac and Rita are around but no sign of Lockhart. Come on buddy, I wanted you to be my #1 on this tribe.

So I tell Cormac I have his back, I like him and talk to him the most. Lily I tell, obviously, that this petrification made it so easy--Cormac is an easy vote. I tell Cormac that I am telling Lily this because I have no idea what else I would say to her? And also so he doesn't distrust me for the fact that I said this if Lily ever comes back to him and tells him.

Rita is getting messages from Lily about voting Cormac = perfect, based on what i told Lily..this is what she should be doing at this point. So me and Rita talk.

Ron Weasley [1:08 PM]
i feel bad lying to her, i mean she died once and came back to life so who is to say she wont do it again in this game

but idk any other way to keep it easy

Rita Skeeter [1:08 PM]
LOOOLL
Could be easy to just vote Cormac but
Idk if that'd be smart longgggg term

Ron Weasley [1:09 PM]
I am not sure either because
i tlk to him a lot actually
like i think he might have our backs
but what do u think
like do u like him/trust him?

Rita Skeeter [1:10 PM]
Well. After the last 24 hours
I kind of feel like I trust Cormac more than Lockhart now

Ron Weasley [1:10 PM]
i feel the same
because lockhart like left
las tnight
when we needed him most. WE NEEDED HIS ARMS TO COMFORT US AND WE DIDNT GET IT. lol

Rita Skeeter [1:10 PM]
Idk why Lockhart felt some way against Cormac. Or FOR Lily
LOL RIGHT

Ron Weasley [1:11 PM]
yeah, i felt that same thing
he told me he didnt tlk much to cormac
for a bit
and then kind of just went quiet

Rita Skeeter [1:11 PM]
Yeah

Ron Weasley [1:11 PM]
but i do think it might benefit u/me
to have both of them in here

Rita Skeeter [1:11 PM]
Oh yes agreed

Ron Weasley [1:11 PM]
if we ended like
losing again
newt went
final 4 on this team
lose again
they could vote eachother

Rita Skeeter [1:11 PM]
We pick

Ron Weasley [1:11 PM]
yep

Rita Skeeter [1:11 PM]
Right

Ron Weasley [1:12 PM]
so its kind of saving us for worst case

Rita Skeeter [1:12 PM]
The only way shit goes weird
Is if Lily does get the idol and tries to kill one of us
But long term. She probably wants to think farther ahead. So why lie to is who might have her back right now. Yeah?

Ron Weasley [1:13 PM]
yeah, if she got it and voted one of us. i would hope she would like vote lockhart or something if she doesnt tlk to him much though. or still votes cormac because she wants to hopefully look loyal and trusting
unless her/cormac r vote, and she knows newt. uses idol
takes me or u out
and has cormac/newt/her
LOL
ugh
dont even wanna think like that
r close**

Rita Skeeter [1:14 PM]
I feel like Cormac would tell us
If she was plotting with him

Ron Weasley [1:14 PM]
me too. or have her vote lockhart.

Rita Skeeter [1:14 PM]
ONE of us at least
Yeah
He suspects Lockhart voted him last round right

Ron Weasley [1:14 PM]
he would prob tell her, use it. lets get lockhart out. ill b with u/newt

Rita Skeeter [1:14 PM]
So why would he have her target us

Ron Weasley [1:14 PM]
yeah he told me he thinks it was lockhart.
and i honestly think it was too

Rita Skeeter [1:14 PM]
Right

Ron Weasley [1:14 PM]
tbh
lol
it makes sense.

Rita Skeeter [1:15 PM]
Shittt haha
I wouldn't be surprised

Ron Weasley [1:15 PM]
so yah, like even in the case
i would see the votes going towards lockhart
lockhart, cormac, or lily
before us
LOL

Rita Skeeter [1:16 PM]
I freaking hope so lol
It is annoying that Cormac got Petrified tho
Someone from the other tribe must have gotten the heir right

Ron Weasley [1:17 PM]
yeah
im thinking
or like
draco or madam did it
thinking we would vote him out
idk

Rita Skeeter [1:17 PM]
Why would Drafo
Oh you meant Pomfrey too
Why would they think that

Ron Weasley [1:18 PM]
idk
that is true
like it makes no sense why they wouldnt do lily

Rita Skeeter [1:19 PM]
Right? Lol

So 3 votes Lily, 1 vote Cormac. Worst case would be Lily has an idol, and still votes Cormac. Or she is teaming up with Newt/Cormac and in that sense would likely vote Lockhart(because Cormac would want Lockhart to go versus Rita or myself). So I think Rita/Myself would be safe regardless, Lockhart is most likely safe, and Cormac is like 75% safe, and Lily is like 90% going to go.

This round needs to hurry up and be done.
