Honestly, how did it get to be December already? This terms is going by so fast! Although, September does feel like it was a long time ago, and I am really looking forward to the break from classes, even if we are likely to be assigned a mountain of homework over the hols! I don't want to think about that though- I am looking forward to baking ( Read more... )

What is with Zach? I don't understand him at all. Sometimes he seems all right. I know he can be nice, but it can be hard to remember that when he's so busy being a prat. We would have gone to Hogsmeade together if Susan hadn't been upset that day, but since then he hasn't wanted to go for a walk or even really talk to me. It is ( Read more... )

In case anyone is interested, at next week's Charms Club meeting we'll be talking about helping with the castle Christmas decorations. I think it will be a fun project! It's still really early, but I love planning for Christmas ( Read more... )

Hogsmeade wasn't quite according to plan, but I walked down in the afternoon, and bought a scarf for Kelsey. It has an anti-unraveling charm on it, so it will last a long time, but still be OK to give to a Muggle, right? Because no one can tell that it's charmed. I think it's all right. I don't know if I should tell her about the charm though ( Read more... )

I don't know why I was so nervous! I was sure he fancied me, and I was right! I am excited for Hogsmeade now.

[/Private]I love Fridays. Only two classes, it's almost like the weekend starts early. It's too bad the extra Defense class isn't earlier in the day, but it's not so bad really. I kind of like it, actually. Not that I don' ( Read more... )

[Private]This week I've started to feel really settled at Hogwarts, or something. I don't know what the right word is. But everything feels really normal. There's homework, and club stuff, and Quidditch starting, and Prefect meetings, and a Hogsmeade weekend (am I going to ask Zach if he wants to go together?! I still don't know!!). I've been ( Read more... )

Isn't this rain horrible? I was completely drenched just walking back from the greenhouses. Even after some drying charms I still felt all damp, and had to change into new robes. I think I even like snow better than rain- you can brush that off at least! And it makes the grounds look so pretty. I guess there's still a while before we get snow ( Read more... )

Does anyone know if we're going to be having Hogsmeade weekends this year? I got a letter from Kelsey, and it made me want to send her something, but there aren't really a lot of shopping opportunities at the castle. I can understand it if we aren't going to be allowed, but I also think it would be kind of nice. Hogsmeade is going to have a lot ( Read more... )

I've just got back from my first day working in the infirmary with Madam Pomfrey. She mostly just showed me around today, and explained some of the things I'll be doing. I won't be doing anything too important, sorting potions and labeling files and that sort of thing. She said I might start helping with some of the potion preparation later on ( Read more... )

I can't figure out what is going on with Zach at all. I'm sure he was looking at me in the Great Hall the other day, and he was talking to Lisa about relationship troubles! But if he likes me, why doesn't he just ask me out? Instead, he's probably been even more disagreeable than usual. Maybe he doesn't think I like him, and that ( Read more... )
