As it turns out, I have been accepted for an internship at the International Magical Office of Law with the possibility of a permanent position, depending on both my N.E.W.T.s and my performance there. I am very excited about this and the fact that Millicent and I have begun to look for a flat together. The two of us have decided that it would be ( Read more... )

I suppose I mean to update this journal a bit more regularly but I feel preoccupied by other things at the moment - by my studies for one, but even more so, my mother. Despite the increased distance between us, she seems to have become a stronger presence in my life than ever. She sends me a letter every day insisting that I report the details of ( Read more... )

I decided to spend a quiet evening preparing for my upcoming NEWTs. After all, they do play a significant role in one's future occupation so it should be unsurprising that I am determined to score exceedingly well on them. However, it seems that things rarely go as planned as of late and my night in the library was anything but peaceful. I was ( Read more... )

Yesterday, the weather was fine, or at the very least, there wasn't even a single sign of rain. This was particularly good considering that there was a quidditch match and I must imagine that it would be terribly unpleasant to play the game while soaking wet. I met Tracey Davis out front as we'd previously decided, but to my surprise, I found ( Read more... )

Mother sent a letter this morning, saying she has arrived in France safely with all her important things and wouldn't I reconsider joining her? Of course, I have told her I couldn't possibly. After all, there are too many reasons to stay at Hogwarts at the moment, and besides, father is still doing business in other parts of the world and staying ( Read more... )

Mother has decided to spend a few months at our summer house in France. She doesn't usually go until late May, but she has become obsessed with leaving early this year. She tried to convince me, of course, to accompany her there and finish the term at Beauxbatons (which was an utterly ridiculous suggestion). Hogwarts has the finest education in ( Read more... )

I do not think Ron was too pleased having to meet me in the kitchen at 5 o'clock in the morning for I do believe he is not exactly a morning person. However, this was the only way we could really get the place to ourselves as it is now quite busy with everyone making breakfasts for good deeds and I do appreciate my space when cooking or baking ( Read more... )

Ron, darling, if you could meet me in the kitchen tomorrow morning. There is something I would very much like to show you.

Furthermore, I have composed a poem for you, dear. It is unfortunately not a very good one, considering I was rather in a hurry to finish it. Nonetheless, it is the thought that counts, does it not?

( A poem for Ronald )

It has been quite a busy week. I, for one, must say that I do respect the Headmaster for his attempt at aiding inter-House relations, considering I have always thought that we should be taught to get along and understand each other, rather than only cultivate our rivalries. Still, I am not at all certain this is the most successful way to go ( Read more... )

I had a rather lovely holiday, but I must admit it is nice to return to the familiar routine of attending Hogwarts. After all, when at school, I get to see Millicent and Draco everyday and I do not have to deal with my mother quite so much. I can take my mother in weekly doses but to see her every second of the day can become exhausting ( Read more... )
