Padma Patil had said she was having trouble getting the school brooms to work. So this morning after breakfast I showed her some tips. And they worked! It was grand actually being good at something for once. I miss having my own broom. The school brooms are so slow. But the weather wasnt too bad so after I went flying.

Neville mate you havent ( Read more... )

Its been an interesting week. Marvolo and Malfoy tried to steal a baby dragon from Professor Macnair, or free it or something, and the mudblood got bit, and Gryffindor won at Quiddich and one of the half-bloods in Ravenclaw turned out to have a mum who died trying to break out of the mudblood camp.

And now the library mudblood is going to go live in ( Read more... )

Well I got an owl from Mr Rosier this morning. And he said that Binns was wrong and I was right. He included a copy of a book with a whole chapter on Padraig that talked a bit about the reasons we know he must have been a half blood. Actually the whole book was about great half-blood wizards.

Mr Rosier also said in his time no one listened to Binns ( Read more... )

We are learning about the Goblin Rebellion of 1711 in History of Magic. I was trying hard to pay attention. And its a little easier because Padraig the Patient is one of my heros. (He wasnt really patient. That name makes him sound so dull.)

But then Professor Binns said that Padraig was a mudblood. That cant be true, it just cant. Padraig was a ( Read more... )

Mr Rosier sent me an owl this morning. That made me feel a lot better about everything. Both my transfiguration exam and AK and all of it really.

During the holiday he said I should be proud of my wizard blood even if Im not pure. That wizard blood is stronger than muggle blood so even in the way I look Ill be more like my mum than like the muggle. ( Read more... )

I did terribly in AK, that wasn't such a surprise. And I dont mind being one of the first to go out tho I really think Id have done better if it hadnt been for the thing with Page.  But today I got my mark back in Transfiguration and I did terribly and I cant blame anyone else for that. And I didnt do very well in Charms either and the best mark I  ( Read more... )

Well Grant Page hexed me last night almost as soon as the game started. And I thought I was out of it. But I heard Aurelia Archer from Slytherin asked Daphne Greengrass to point me out at breakfast and I guess she still has my name on her slip? So am I still in the game or not? Also Grant Page hexed a lot more people so he's really doing well, ( Read more... )

So on Boxing Day Mr Rosier and I went to a party at Mrs Blacks house. Mrs Black is Mr Rosiers sister and Mrs Malfoy and Mrs Lestrange are her daughters. Mr Rosier drew me a family tree so I have it all straight in my head now even if it looks confusing written out. Anyway Draco was there, and Pansy Parkinson because shes staying with Mrs Black (the ( Read more... )

Yesterday Mr Rosier took me to Diagon Alley. He said I should buy presents for Draco, Pansy, and Hydra. I'll see them at the party at Mrs Black's house. Not the Mrs Black that Pansy's staying with. Draco's grandmother. That's on Boxing Day so I won't send those gifts by owl. I bought presents for my mates from school as well. Those I can send by ( Read more... )

I never wrote in here last term but Mr Rosier thinks I should write a little so I will. He says its alright if I say I miss my mum, because she's a good, loyal subject. Only Ireland isn't safe right now. And that's why the Ministry says I need a foster home while I'm at Hogwarts.

I didn't know what to expect when I got off the train at King's Cross ( Read more... )
