I had my meeting today with Professor Dumbledore. I guess he thinks that Snape's plan is fine, which I don't understand. When I told him that Ron had to have detention because I tripped, he just laughed and said that maybe now I will work on being more graceful. I thought it was hard to write in my journal before, but now I really don't know what to say because no matter what I write, Snape will probably find a reason to make Hannah Abbott clean the owlery or something.
I had my detention with Filch on Saturday night, and he made me wash and oil all these old torture machines down in the dungeons. At least, I think that's what they are. There was one that looked like a big wheel with a crank on the side, and there was a board at the bottom of it with spikes coming out of it. Filch said that they were here since at least the 1400s. He said that people had tried to get rid of them twenty years ago, but Professor Dumbledore told him he could keep them, and he was glad because he thought they might come in handy again some day. I tried to figure out what they all did at first, but that was pretty creepy so I then just tried to get done cleaning them as soon as I could.
I got back to the tower alot later than I thought I would, and I almost slept through the match on Sunday. I had to go by myself because I couldn't find Seamus or Dean or Neville anywhere, and when I tried to wake Ron up to go, he hit me in the nose.
It was a really good match, though. I think that Susan Bones is one of the best Keepers at Hogwarts. And Hufflepuff have fantastic Chasers, too. Claire Chapter is a really great Chaser. She might even be a bit better than Natalie, but Natalie's still pretty young. They did a really good job to keep the match so close. Sometimes I think it's almost not fair, that a side can work so hard and play so well and still lose, just because the other Seeker is so good. Slytherin played well, too, but the rest of the team isn't as good as Hufflepuff, I don't think.
Everyone is talking about the ball coming up. I don't know if I'm going to go. I thought I would go with Hermione, but I guess not. I don't even want to think about a ball when we're playing Ravenclaw the next week. Balls are silly, anyway.
