Well, I was rather SHOCKED to find a CHOCOLATE FROG following me around my room this morning! It was croaking rather MEEKLY at me, and Belby had given it SEVERAL licks, and as it appeared to be MELTING, I perfomed a cooling charm upon it, and it hasn't stopped following me SINCE. I am rather intrigued by its SUDDEN appearance ( Read more... )

There was a STRANGE prickling all down my spine this morning, at BREAKFAST. I drank some tea and it APPEARED to have gone away but it returned just a FEW moments ago, and I fear that something TERRIBLE is going to happen! I haven't seen BELBY for several days either, and I'm almost CERTAIN that it has something to do with him. PERHAPS I shall ( Read more... )

Well, it is LOVELY to have returned to Hogwarts! I am QUITE disgusted, however, at the behaviour of some of my FELLOW students. It was QUITE disturbing to wake up and find that my BOOKS had been transfigured into BANANAS, which were merrily being eaten by a MONKEY. I'm quite glad that I managed to RETURN them to their original condition, as SOME of ( Read more... )

Well, I was quite DELIGHTED to be able to rescue my dearest Belby from my Mother’s HORRID aunt. She kept him LOCKED in a CAGE and barely fed him! I am DISGRACED at the lack of respect that can be shown to a relative’s FAMILIAR. I have been lavishing attention upon him, and hope that he will SOON recover from his TRAUMATIC ordeal ( Read more... )

Well, my list of books for the NEW term has just arrived, and my mother has decided that we shall go and PURCHASE them at Diagon Alley sometime in the next FEW days. I am really QUITE excited about being back at school, even though the holidays have been UTTERLY DELIGHTFUL ( Read more... )

Well, so far the holidays have been DELIGHTFUL. We visited the continent, and spent SOME time with my Father’s relations in Spain, Italy, and France, before heading to Russia, where we spent time with my Mother’s relatives. They are QUITE well, and I must say, it was TERRIBLY interesting attempting to use Translation spells, because they seemed to ( Read more... )

I CANNOT find them! I haven’t lost them, that is for CERTAIN! Perhaps some person thought they were their own and took them? Or perhaps someone STOLE them! I could not BEAR to live with myself, stealing someone else’s notes. I shall search my room ONCE more.

Recently have I been DISTRAUGHT, as my attempts to remove the ink so accidentally spilled into my HOMEWORK have FAILED! It was but moments ago, when Miss Alice Prewett tripped and KNOCKED the ink well from her desk. When I looked over to see what the COMMOTION was all about, there was my homework, COVERED with ink! My efforts come to NOTHING in ( Read more... )

Well, DEAREST Gilderoy and I had a DELIGHTFUL discussion about his parents' home in the SWISS ALPS! He was telling me ALL ABOUT the decoration process, and the colours sound DELIGHTFUL. One day, I wish to visit this house, and PERHAPS Gilderoy will give me a guided tour of the property, I would CERTAINLY like that ( Read more... )

Well, my homework this afternoon was INTERRUPTED by an owl from my DEAREST Mother, who was most ANXIOUS over the fact that I had not owled her in the past week! I was so CAUGHT UP in my studies that I actually forgot to owl my DEAREST Mother. I cannot believe it! I feel so DISSAPOINTED in myself. I shall make CERTAIN to reply to her owl immediately ( Read more... )
