Camping out on the lawn really wasn't as bad as everybody's making it out to be, but maybe that's because I'm just used to sleeping in dirty places. It was more or less just like being in the dorms except without the bed. And Seamus, Dean, and Neville were missing around curfew, but it's not like I was around for long, anyway.I have so much ( Read more... )

I'm just asking for trouble with this, but...

Tutoring sessions with Malfoy are a little better than tutoring sessions with Snape. I guess. I don't get snapped at as often as I did when Snape was tutoring though I wish spending so much time with him didn't make me feel so... Whatever.

Number of cauldrons blown to bits: 3

Number of botched potions: 4

I saw a group of Fourth Years harassing a scrawny little First Year today. I was oddly reminded of my childhood. It's times like these I really miss Dudley. When I think of the laughs we shared over the years, I get a little teary ( Read more... )

My head... is killing me. Breakfast was painful because do you have any idea how loud it is in there? Especially when you have a headache?

And especially when you've just received news like:

Dear Harry Potter ( Read more... )

Okay, so I might have overreacted the slightest bit about Ron and Hermione being together now. Just a little. But this whole not talking thing is bothering me. I mean, I'm starting to consider talking to Slytherins just to have someone to talk to.I mean, I'm not mad or anything. I was surprised, but not because I wasn't expecting it. In fact, ( Read more... )

This has been the weirdest few days of my life ( Read more... )

I'm pretty sure that if you're trying to turn a teddy bear into a hat, it shouldn't still be fuzzy and have the ears, right? But, hey, I thought it was warm. Maybe not the manliest hat in the world, but it was warm, okay ( Read more... )

Is Hermione the only sane one?
