The relative tranquility of the new school year was fun while it lasted. However, now I am completely weighed down by coursework and, of course, Quidditch ( Read more... )

I hate school work. I wish that I could just take potions and astronomy and play Quidditch. Fortunately, I was able to drop Herbology, Transfiguration, and History of magic to name the worst a few, which greatly alleviates a lot of my stress. Now I'm only taking classes which at least vaguely interest me ( Read more... )

School starts soon. Too soon, if you ask me. I really don't want to go back to having a load of coursework and very little free time. On the other hand, I won't be stuck in this house with Mother, which is really rather miserable. In that vein, I also have Quidditch to look forward to. Fenrir's captain, which will either be incredibly brutal (very ( Read more... )

 Wow, it's been a while, hasn't it? I have to admit, I sort of forgot all about this journal. I was just cleaning out the rubbish at the bottom of my trunk, and to my surprise, I found this ( Read more... )

Why does Valentine's Day seem to make so many people desperate for someone to snog? It's ridiculous; it's just a day. Not to mention that the day itself has little root ( Read more... )

Why is there never a moment of peace at this school?

And why does everyone seem to think that the Astronomy Tower is a place to snog rather than a place to, oh, I don't know, observe the night sky?

Why is it that this journal seems to be so easy to forget about? I suppose it may have something to do with the sheer number of things that have been going on in my life lately.

As I'm sure everyone knows by now, Sirius was disowned over Christmas due to that prat Potter. Good riddance. Even if he is my brother, and pretty decent when his mates ( Read more... )

I'll just get to the point, shall I? My grades are decent (outstanding when it comes to potions and astronomy, but I digress), but my Herbology grade seems determined to stay around the line between pass and fail.

...Not that I think that I'll need Herbology in the future, but... I'd still like to pass the O.W.L.

Though I'd really rather not accept ( Read more... )
