I'm on the plane now. Have got my wand in my pocket just in case this thing crashes. Can't see how it works, Muggles must be mad -- but feeling strangely light-headed. No, it's not just the couple of rounds I just had to steady my nerves, but you know -- strange Americans and all -- I feel like I'm really onto something here. It's almost like ( Read more... )

You know what kills me, after all this time? In the last year, doing honest labour and putting in regular hours, I managed to make more Galleons than when I sold my special potions during OWL exams sixth year. The difference is academic, of course, a handful of Galleons either way, but it's the principle of the thing. Can't someone make a ( Read more... )

Still moving furniture around in the flat. It's easy, since there's a couch and a bed and not much else. Full of glamour, life is. Paper's full of tragedy, but then so is living with Jediah. Bloke snores like an elephant with asthma. No use worrying either way, not really.

(Though I hope I've helped her and a few other students be ready for theirs, possibly dull tutoring sessions notwithstanding.) Hell, I still don't remember most of what happened in ( Read more... )

Having a relaxing sort of weekend so far -- Ms Black turned out to be quite entertaining company, thank you -- except for this morning, when I discovered a kitten trying to sleep on my face. Does anyone want to claim this thing? Cho, did you get a kitten from Neville, or is it someone else from Ravenclaw ...? Anyway, I wouldn't want it to knock ( Read more... )

Work, ugh. School, ugh. Head Boy duties, double ugh.

I would ask whether this counts as an entry, but I already know it doesn't. However, I am impressed with myself, and as we all know, that's what really counts, of course! Hah, I wish ( Read more... )

It seems that I'm the source of some scandal -- I suppose I can't help but be pleased somehow, but my imagined social life is much more exciting than reality, I'm afraid.
