Still unsure of why dementors are actually being allowed within school grounds. I'm usually very accustomed to walks on the grounds which means I am now walking around inside the castle. Not as interesting. I will, however, definitely be attempting to practice a Patronus, as I've never actually cast one ( Read more... )

Managed to avoid going to the Quidditch game yesterday due to room mates assuming I was deathly ill. When you are as pale as I am it isn't difficult to convince people that you are deathly ill. So I visited Fenton and read. Was slightly surprised when I was called down to the Great Hall before everyone else had returned ( Read more... )

School seems to have entered Quidditch fervor. Bloody Quidditch. (Note: Contrary to popular myth, stating such is NOT blasphemy ( Read more... )

Should not be up this late writing in this, but I haven't been sleeping well anyway ( Read more... )

Making one comment seems to have motivated everyone else to say their piece. In leu of this I regret to state that I am TERRIBLY SORRY THAT I HAVE AN OPINION THAT I AM WILLING TO DISCUSS. However, have already stated how I feel about this in my discussion with Evans and hence do not feel a need to perpetrate my opinion here ( Read more... )

Surprisingly quiet the past few days. Not that I'm complaining. Actually been able to get things done without noise interrupting every five minutes; it makes homework go much faster. I think I'm sick of school already. May almost welcome interlude next month even if it will likely be boring and will cause me to have reams of work upon returning ( Read more... )
