If I catch another person giving those Muggles false directions, I'm going to start assigning detentions, not just taking away points. It's not funny.

Is the Ball mandatory? I don't know how much of a mood I'm in to go.

Although the decorations are really much more tasteful this year.

Goodness, I've been negligent in regards to this journal. I've been quite busy with end-of-term exams, not to mention revising for N.E.W.T.S ( Read more... )

There's been another attack! I've just received word from my parents -- it was on the Muggle news, and I suspect it'll be in the Wizarding News sooner or later -- a group of Death Eaters staged an attack on a part of London. Thankfully, the region my parents live and work in is on the opposite side, so they weren't anywhere near it, but ( Read more... )

I can honestly say that I'm exceedingly glad to be back at Hogwarts. I always enjoy coming back, of course, but I have this year in particular since I almost wasn't able to. Plus, at the end of this year, we'll be moving on to life in the real world. It's scary, but in a good way, I think -- I'm nervous but excited about it already. I'm sure there ( Read more... )

Thankfully, my parents have finally agreed, albeit obviously reluctantly, to let me come back. When I presented all the arguments for my return, they really couldn't disagree, even though they made me wait a day before saying so. Mr. and Mrs. Weasley, Sirius, and Professor Lupin -- your help means so much to me; thank you. It certainly supported my ( Read more... )

Oh my god. Harry, Ron, I -- I might not be at Hogwarts this year, my parents got this letter about what's been going on and they've said they don't think Hogwarts is safe and that they're very upset I didn't let them know about anything that had happened and -- I'm trying to convince them but they won't listen to me, they just won't, and they're ( Read more... )

Well, the summer holiday has been going relatively well. I've visited my grandparents in Norfolk a bit, but most of my family's time has not been spent traveling ( Read more... )

Well, exams have been over since last Friday, and I must admit it is a relief. Free time is something that one dearly misses when they suddenly lack it so distinctly. I'm looking forward to reading outside and generally enjoying myself until the end of the term ( Read more... )

My goodness, two exams from different subjects in one day was not the most pleasant schedule I might have had. Still, I felt they went well. Today, I have Astronomy at midnight. Dean, would you like to do a bit of last-minute revising this afternoon, or perhaps after dinner? I find that rapidly looking over notes and such a short while before an ( Read more... )

I thought it would be a good idea to post my exam schedule, just in case I lose my hard copy. It will also remind me every time I check the journals for which subjects I need more revising ( Read more... )
