I also like to be able to close my eyes and not see horrible things soon. I keep hearing the sounds of things breaking and wincing and dodging the ceiling and I can still feel bits of glass in me even though I know they are all removed by now but it is still scary and I am so tired ( Read more... )

I don't understand, I don't understand why this is happening. I got out of the infirmary this morning, Seamus was there, and I realised when I got there that I was surprised that Seamus was still alive, and surprised that anyone was still alive when I saw them. I want a role call, a head count, I want to know who is here and who isn't but ( Read more... )

I think I might be the only person who really enjoyed the weather this summer. It's never been so hot before and I love it! I was walking around with a sheen of perspiration all over all day. I can spend my life like that and be perfectly contented ( Read more... )

My sister is here! Cat's all right now! The clever girl managed to find the Room of Requirement and she had more than enough to eat in there for days! I can't wait to tell mummy and dad about this, they'll be so proud of her. Oh, I'm just so glad she's safe and sound, it's amazing how you don't realise how much someone means to you until they're ( Read more... )

I'm taking a study break to update my journal for a bit to calm myself down and not throw up from nerves. Now that the Quidditch season is over, the stress of the upcoming exams is hitting everyone with full force. I'm getting rather worried about it myself. I mean, I've been pretty consistent with my assignments and haven't done badly in any, and ( Read more... )

I'm awfully worried for Seamus. He's taken off to Professor Lupin's for the weekend which is a really good choice and I hope it helps, but I've never seen Seamus so upset he's had to leave before. At least he's with Professor Lupin ( Read more... )

Well, Justin's birthday is coming up on 1 June. Susan seems quite worried on what to do for him, and I can't say I'm even sure I'll be talking to him then. I'm still angry at him and Ernie, and they won't even talk about it. It's like, there's this huge thing now, only I still like them as people. But I'd feel just awful about myself if I ( Read more... )

The house warming party for Professor Lupin - and later, as the night progressed, Professor Black - was wonderful. Well, despite the Streisand at one point, but the less said about, the better.

Thank you to Professor Lupin for allowing me to stay, and I was also relieved to come back to find my dormroom completely in tact, unlike some I could ( Read more... )

We had (yet another) Prefect meeting on the weekend -- laying out the scheduls and time tables for exams for all the houses and classes. A large job. I forgot how tiring it could be.

Animagus classes are starting up again on Tuesday, we took a two-week break because Professor Black's workload, but with every class recently, I've found myself ( Read more... )

Valentine's Day has been and gone, leaving a stewed mess of disappointed hopefuls and lovesick couples.

I actually find V-Day nausating...maybe it's the cynic in me.

The girls' soiree was a surprise by being so pleasant. Mrs Malfoy was a charming and lovely hostess - and Malfoy Manor, despite the gargoyles, was architecturally stunning ( Read more... )
