I feel almost unbelievably apathetic. Rather dried out and exhausted, but mostly just dead, I think. It's probably just the beginning of school and the the tide (rather than the ebb, which is exhausting in it's own right), and the number of people sleeping in the infirmary, but I almost feel as if I could sleep myself. It would be so easy ( Read more... )

You know that horrible feeling of being both bored and overwhelmed at the same time? I suppose it's just dissatisfaction, but it's damned frustrating. I have plenty to do - I have finished my homework for the moment (the first couple of days' worth wasn't too horrible), but there is plenty of reading that I could do to get ahead, if I was so ( Read more... )

I have to say that I am extremely glad to have everyone back at Hogwarts. There is something completely disturbing about the empty castle, it just isn't right. I mean, even during holidays there are still people here, and even if there aren't, you can imagine them just around the corner, and their spirit lingers in the air. The corridors were too ( Read more... )

My OWL results finally arrived, four days after everyone else's. Apparently the owl carrying them was having difficulties finding. Odd, since neither Sirius', James', or Lily's did and they were all right here with me. At any rate, I don't think I want to talk about specifics, but I did fairly well. A lot of them exceeded my expectations, and my ( Read more... )

I seem to have both feet permanently in my mouth and my memory is nowhere to be seen. I did another stupid thing, and forgot entirely about the fact that we were supposed to be at Hogwarts! How could I? It's a small consolation, I suppose, that Sirius, James, Peter, and Lily also forgot, but I should have remembered. Someone ought to have reminded ( Read more... )

I did something extremely regrettable that I shouldn't have ( Read more... )

I'm not really sure if that complicates things more, or simplifies them, but I think it needed to be done. At least it was done with the air cleared, so to speak. I feel incredibly cruel, but it needed to be said. Or so I keep telling myself. Sirius, thank you for being understanding ( Read more... )

I'm not quite sure yet what this is going to be like, but I think that I made the right decision. There's no reason to throw away opportunities if they come to me, right ( Read more... )

I got an owl from Prof. Sinistra. She's invited me to come study and work as her assistant for several weeks ( Read more... )

This gets increasingly odd with each day. It's not half so uncomfortable or awkward as I'd been afraid, but simply oddSome people are just as I would have expected, but others are behaving rather oddly. I feel somewhat guilty, but I've done all I can... It's not really my fault, right? Never mind. As to everyone else living here - well, I'd say it' ( Read more... )
