1. Listen to Susan's advice ( Read more... )

Aura's party is certainly...interesting. By interesting, I mean "Interesting in the brief glimpses that I saw", because I've been in hiding from her cousins since forever. They seem to have Designs on myself for either Aura or themselves (I didn't catch whom) and Do Not Take A Hint. At all. One would think that standing in a corner of the garden ( Read more... )

Well done, Abbott and Macmillan. I'm quite impressed with the both of you. You know, we wouldn't have minded too much about you two doing it, but to lie about it afterwards? The Slytherins may say that ambition is dead, the Gryffindors may say that chivalry is dead, the Ravenclaws say...well, no-one really knows because they're playing games, ( Read more... )

I have discovered the relative joys of being sick. Well, not sick so much as recovering from being sick which I'm told is far more attractive than the strange bluish-white colour that I was just over a week ago. Anyway, I have learnt that Gareth, in a fit of pity I dare say, sent me up the final book in the trilogy I've been waiting for since ( Read more... )

All rumours, stories and half-truths to the contrary, I am still alive. Honestly, people. Have a relapse and everyone starts spreading rumours that I'm dying. Isn't life dramatic enough for you without having to lie? Really. You'd think you were all locked up in a castle, not able to go outside at all...wait, that's me. And you don't see me ( Read more... )

Why do these situations always happen to me? I keep imagining someone saying "Because you're stubborn, Zacharias" and it sounds eerily like Ernie. It's Wrong, that my hallucinations sound like people I know -- but then again, isn't that the point? It is my imagination, right? You're not actually behind me, are you ( Read more... )

I had a conversation today. Well, I have many conversations, but this one stuck in my mind. I don't know why, it just did. Strange how that works, isn't it? You remember things that you don't want to, and yet cannot remember important things like facts for an exam. But anyway, I had a conversation. It was rather awkward. In fact, it was a ( Read more... )

Well. That makes things complicated. More complicated. Ernie's opinion to the contrary, I remember everything.

What's life without Escher-esque complications? Is there such a thing? Can I get that instead of this one? Thanks.

However, things I have learnt:

1. Susan, her opinion to the contrary, is not an innocent girl at all ( Read more... )

I have concluded, after long and careful study, that NEWTs might be the hardest thing yet. In fact, it most probably will end up being the hardest thing ever, if my brush with silly insanity is any indication. Sadly, yes, I have to confirm that Susan and I were kicked out of the library for pulling each other's hair. In our defence, we had been ( Read more... )

It's odd, being back at school. That sounds so strange, now that I read it. After all, it's late October, it would be strange to be starting school now. Well, resuming, anyway. It's still odd all the same, having a structure to my day. Of course, I've been at it for almost a week now, and as such, it should start to become less awkward, but as ( Read more... )
