Well, now I've had a chance to breathe, this is mostly an update to again thank those who sent me Christmas cards. I do hope all the cards and gifts I sent out arrived safely as well. My Christmas was frightfully busy, but still quite nice, and Ginny's visit was welcomed and enjoyed. It was a relief to have her there to help look after the ( Read more... )

Well, my parents and I are leaving for Transylvania tomorrow morning. As most people know, my parents are Muggles, so we'll be taking an aeroplane. I prefer flying that way rather than on a broomstick, personally, as it's much easier to catch up on reading on an aeroplane. Ron, have you got my owl? Harry, I'll be sending one to you as well as ( Read more... )

Well, as everybody no doubt knows by now, Harry and Colin have both woken up. They aren't technically allowed visitors outside of immediate family, but Harry's been asking for people all night and poor Colin's father can't even see Hogwarts, let alone come visit of course, so they're making a bit of an exception. However, please don't try to ( Read more... )

Things have been an absolute nightmare, if that wasn't already apparent. I just woke up and I don't know how I slept so long but I only wanted to rest my eyes for a minute last night and when I woke up I was in a bed in hospital, which of course worried me a bit. I thought I'd got injuries without realising! You can imagine my worry before I ( Read more... )

Last night was the dirtiest Quidditch match I've ever seen. Fifty-two fouls altogether between both teams. I had no idea half of them even existed! Audrey Bysmal from Slytherin caught the Snitch two minutes in, which I'd thought meant Slytherin won, but then Ron stole it from her and tried to give it to Harry, which I suppose set the tone for ( Read more... )

Oh, I do wish Professor Snape's classroom could be moved to those other dungeons like they were before, after his room got destroyed with the army tank. It was much cooler in there and now we've come back it's just much harder to enjoy the lesson around all the heat. I'm just glad I'm not taking Divination. Arithmancy is much more useful and ( Read more... )

I've been exchanging letters with Viktor for a few weeks, now, and I've decided it's clearly time for me to take advantage of his offer to visit him in Bulgaria. I've written my parents about it, but I'm not certain they like the idea. I'm certain I'll convince them, anyway. I'll have loads of time this summer, most of which I'll be using for ( Read more... )

All I have to say is that it's about time Draco Malfoy had his Prefect's Badge taken away. That's really all I'm going to say regarding him, and I well and truly mean it ( Read more... )

Up with the birds! It's Ginny's birthday and I'm planning something for the journey back to Hogwarts later, though I'm not sure if I can mention it to Mrs Weasley. Do you know, I think she might be upset with me. I'm not sure why, but she doesn't appear to be speaking to me. Ginny told me not to worry, but I don't seem to be able to stop myself ( Read more... )

A parcel came for me at breakfast this morning! Rather unexpected. I thought it must be from my parents, but it turned out to be forwarded from Hogwarts, where Viktor had sent his reply to my card. Viktor is terribly sweet - he sent an autographed copy of the Quidditch Illustrated issue he posed for. I shall have to write him back and correct ( Read more... )
