This week really has been eventful ( Read more... )

It's really horrible, what's happened. I know that this is probably horribly thoughtless, and that Aurelia Moon and Pansy Malfoy wouldn't appreciate this, but I really am very sorry for your losses. I know that there's fighting outside, and that once we leave, we might have to make decisions about who we believe and that sort of thing, but it's ( Read more... )

I'm really very sorry, Luna, but I don't think your father had everything right in this edition of the Quibbler. I don't get the paper, but Finch-Fletchley does -- he gets everything, I've never seen that many papers in my life. However, this time it had that the Minister is grinding up executed people's skulls for...virility? I didn't think ( Read more... )

Lisa seemed to enjoy herself for Easter, from what she said. I kept notes, because she spoke awfully fast, but it sounded like she had fun. I did like hiding the chocolate eggs for the younger children, even if they said they were too old for it. They started to look when the first one was found though -- we charmed it so that it ran away and ( Read more... )

I know that everyone has been talking about the dead body and the riddle, and that I shouldn't really add to it, but it's really very disturbing. I haven't told my parents about the riddle. I thought that a dead body was enough. They sent me all sorts of things in a package afterwards, it's really very embarassing. The owl was so overladen that ( Read more... )

I really like Defence at the moment. Not that I have it today, I have it first thing tomorrow. But at the moment, we're doing something really very interesting with hexes that I'd never even thought about before now, and I'm really enjoying it. I'm not very good at the practical side, but the theoretical one is fascinating! There are hundreds ( Read more... )

I really should be asleep, as it's far too late to be awake. However, the memorial for Adalia and Elke Frantzberger just finished, and I thought that I should thank Ernie Macmillan for doing that. It's important to be able to say goodbye to people. I suppose we were lucky in a way, that we could go to Su-Li's funeral. I really do feel sorry for ( Read more... )

The Ancient Runes assignment is going quite well. While it's not as flashy as some others, that's really a good thing, as I'm not particularly good at runes. In fact, I'm really very bad at it. However, it's hard to get into troubles with straight research -- and I like doing that. I'll admit, our topic isn't the greatest, but that's fine. It' ( Read more... )

Going up to the Astronomy Tower with Mandy and Lisa helped a lot. I think a lot of the problem is that we're living together in the same few rooms for so long, that if someone is depressed or angry or so forth, soon we all become like that. Not that I'm saying that people don't have a right to be that way, but that sometimes it's better to leave ( Read more... )

I suppose this Ancient Runes assignment can't possibly be all that bad. I don't think that my partner is as bad as they could be, but Sindarin seemed to have an ulterior motive for assigning Macmillan and I together. I heard Smith comment that it was because Macmillan wants to be a Ravenclaw, but I'm not too sure. I doubt he does, because if he ( Read more... )
