School!
Back to Hogwarts again for my 7th and final year. Ha, I didn't actually think I'd make it back here, guys. Hols was horrible - so 17 is adult status here in the Wizarding world, but in the Muggle world I still need a guardian until I'm 18 so it was back to the Dursley's for the entire summer and it sucked.
Speaking of sucking - this first week back has kicked my ass. Why in hell did I let Hermione convince me to take 5 NEWT level classes? So it's Herbology, Potions, Charms, DADA and Configuration for me this year and I'm screwed. McGonagall has already given me a detention and deducted 20 points because I fell asleep in her class on Wednesday because I was sleeping in her class - but it was 8 am and I had been up all night trying to finish some impossible essay for that arsehole Snape; which I will fail regardless. So, I got to scrub out all toilets in Gryffindor (except the ones in the girls dorm .. thank Merlin for small favors) and trust me, it wasn't a pretty sight. Someone should teach you animals to fucking aim. Really, it's sick.
Potions, like I said - it's going to be rough. Hermione's already refused to partner with me, and the rest of the class are Ravenclaws and Slytherins ( none of them will want have anything to do with me) .. with one Hufflepuff who's name I can't remember. I've been studying like mad and I'm still not quite up to speed with the rest of the class. Yesterday I nearly knocked a full cauldron of this Nulicitus potion over and it completely ruined Blaise Zabini's apparently very expensive shoes. Snape called me all sorts of words I can't remember and threw me out of class to keep my 'incompentent fool' self in the library.
I've got detention - again.
So since this week is almost over - I'm announcing trials for this upcoming quiddich season. Saturday, on the pitch, noon. Since none of the players have told me that they will be coming back for sure, the tryouts are completely open for all years. If you have your own broom you should bring it because there aren't going to be enough school brooms for everybody and we'll have to rotate. I'll be posting the sign-up sheet tomorrow in the common room.
