My kitten Greymalkin is missing. I've looked for her everywhere in the Hufflepuff rooms, but I can't find her. I know she'd snuck out of our common room once before, but someone brought her back. She's been missing for a couple days now, and I'm getting really worried ( Read more... )

Anne Cadwallader's cat had a litter, and they're old enough to leave their mother now, and so now I have the most darling little grey cat with white socks. I love her so much. She's very active, always batting balls of crumpled parchment around and stalking the dangling tassles of the bed curtains and pouncing on Megan's slippers when we get up ( Read more... )

Oooh, I just HATE that Padma Patil. I just loathe the way she queens it over EVERYONE, sticking her nose up in the air just because she's--you know. Who she is. And making all those little spiteful comments, all in the hopes of making everyone else feel wretched. She made the nastiest comment in my journal to me, just because Linus Moon asked me ( Read more... )

Who can think about schoolwork this week? (Sorry, but it's true. I did do my essay for Potions class for tomorrow, but I'm afraid I wrote a LOT larger than I usually do, to make it come out to the right number inches.) Besides the extra rehearsals, some of us are busy getting costumes ready, which turned out to be a much bigger job than I think ( Read more... )

Well, new to me, anyway. It's an older model Clean Sweep that Dad got last week by trading. Goodness knows I've no need for a fancy racing-type broom, and this will suit me beautifully. And I won't be drifting over to the left anymore ( Read more... )

Everyone is ever so cross and tired of winter. Even the play rehearsals seem like a tiresome slog (sorry Moon and Clearwater, but it's true). I keep lingering behind in the greenhouses after Herbology class, because it's such a relief to see something live and green, even if it's just Venomous Tentacula or fretful baby Mandrakes. I actually used ( Read more... )

Yesterday afternoon was the first rehearsal, so it was the first read through. It was also the first meeting for the production crew, just to let people know the sorts of things they'll have to do. Meghan and Eloise are still rather cross that they didn't get a part, not even in the chorus/Wizengamot like Susan and I did, but it sounds as though ( Read more... )

Sue and Megan, after you left for breakfast, I found Eloise crying in the loo. She'd tried a potion for her spots, but she must have done the formula wrong somehow, and oh, her face is such a mess! It's sloughed her skin off entirely in polka dots and it's oozing this icky purple--well, take my word for it. It's awful. She's crying so hard but ( Read more... )

I swear that my assignment notebook has a hex on it or something. Every time I look in it, the assignments seem to have doubled. I have so much to do before the holidays! Part of the problem is that I got so stuck in my last two or three projects in Arithmancy. I'm sure Professor Vector must have thought I was such a dunce and wondered what I was ( Read more... )

Happy birthday, Ernie! All your housemates wish you very happy returns of the day.
