Not a bad week, as first weeks go! Herbology didn't get miraculously easier over the summer, but I like all my other classes so far. Professor Flitwick seems to have some really interesting things lined up for Charms this term; it should be good, I'm excited. Is it overeager of me to have already read the chapter on first aid charms?

Last week (as ( Read more... )

The dinner last night went off without a hitch (except for the presence of certain future brother-in-laws, which I couldn't do much about, but he behaved). It really was lovely, even though I kept telling Mother there was no reason at all for it to have been nearly that formal. I appreciate that they're proud of me being Head Girl, but it was ( Read more... )

Cissy, I need to you corroborate a story for me on Wednesday, alright?

Evidently being made Head Girl is sufficiently impressive enough to let my parents forgive my "tantrum" last month about Sirius, though I still get snapped at every time I mention him, which is frequently. They can pretend he doesn't exist, but I'm not going to let them forget that he does.

I never intend to leave such long gaps in my journal, but in my defense, it's all been a bit hectic these last few months. I hardly know where to start.

I've just thought of something. (Also it's my office hours and there is absolutely no reason that anyone would need help today. They're all down by the lake. It's a touch quiet in here.) Do your parents know what's going on with my situation right now?

They haven't said anything about my intention to not come home, which means they either think I'm bluffing or Bella didn't tell them. I wonder what happens when they realise I'm not moving back into the house? I wouldn't think they'd disow play to the extreme; I'm not renouncing them, I'm just living elsewhere. (And am seriously seriou ( Read more... )
