It's been so long since I thought about anything other than school work and Prefect duties that I think I'm about to go insane. I can't wait for the Hogsmeade trip, but three weeks seems like such a long way away! It's not that I don't enjoy my Prefect duties, I really do, but there seems to be more and more stupid pranks happening and it's getting ( Read more... )

I don't know if anyone else has read the Prophet today, but it's ridiculous! How can they get away with printing such lies?! If any honest-to-goodness reporting went into that article, then I would be very surprised. It's a vile attempt to bring more disruption among all of us, and we can't let it work. We have to do something! I mean, come on, ( Read more... )

I haven't been able to write in here as much this year, things have been so hectic. What with our classes getting harder, and the younger years being a little more worried and needed advice, myself and the other prefects have barely had a moment to ourselves. Even now, I'm in the library and I should be studying, but I've read the same paragraph ( Read more... )

Gosh, it's been a busy first week! Settled into all of my classes, of course, and even though I know I need Transfiguration, and I got a good enough grade to get into the class for NEWTS, I still wish I could have dropped it. It hasn't gotten any simpler over the summer, regardless of the amount of reading I've done. And some people find it so ( Read more... )

Petunia just brought her boyfriend over for dinner and...well, we didn't get on, shall we say? Petunia warned me beforehand not to say anything about my 'freakiness' (her words, not mine), but then over dinner, Vernon (what a name) asks me what school I go to, and before I can reply Mum pipes up that I go to a special school. Now, Vernon is looking ( Read more... )

If I had a Galleon for every time I wished I were seventeen this summer, I'd be rich. I mean, it's not like I want to go running around the country unsupervised, god knows that's not a good idea right now. But I'd like to be able to do something. Being stuck here, on my own, is not my idea of a good summer ( Read more... )

BEYOND HERE LIE YE OLDE ENTRIES. YE HAVE BEEN WARNED. Keeping the rest for my own amusement, they do not count towards the current game.

Just a quick note before I get on the train. I'm in the car with Mum, on our way to Kings Cross, and even though I told them I could apparate, they had this romantic notion about seeing me off for my final year, so we're in the car, running early, which is unusual for Mum, but I'm not complaining. Dad is more inclined to leave early, but he is ( Read more... )

I just got my letter from Hogwarts, telling me everything I need to get for my final year, and you'll never guess what was included. A letter. From Dumbledore. Telling me I'm going to be head girl. Me! Head girl! Can you believe it? I wonder who Head Boy will be, the letter never said. Seriously though, Head Girl! What a privilege! I can't believe ( Read more... )
