I've been looking at these journals since the beginning of term but I haven't written anything in mine.  It makes me feel a bit wierd that loads of other people could read what I write--not just people in other Houses, but even prefects and teachers and grownups who don't even go to Hogwarts anymore!

But I keep hearing people talking in the coridors

Does Elsie get rescued? Or does she wait and wait and never get rescued? I like books with happy endings.

[alt_susan]

She does get rescued! She meets a boy who turns out to be rich and from a good family, and he gets her away from her horrible relatives and eventually they get married.

[alt_megan]

Good. I like that. Now that I know, maybe I can read those.

Does Amaryllis get married too?

[alt_susan]

Amaryllis is only 13 which is too young to get married!

[alt_megan]

Oh! But maybe she'll grow up and get married. Or something else happy. How does her story end?

[alt_susan]

I can't tell you here, silly! What if someone wants to read it and then sees that I told the end?

[alt_megan]

Oh. Then remind me to ask you. I don't want to read a book if I don't know the ending.

[alt_susan]

Really? I absolutely hate it when people tell me the endings of book--well, if their books I think I might want to read someday. It takes all the fun out of it.

[alt_megan]

Really. Very really. If I don't know the end, then I have to worry about the characters. Because who knows what awful things might happen? But if I know, then I can enjoy them getting there.

Sometimes I still get nervous for them anyway.

[alt_susan]

Worrying about what might happen to the characters is part of the fun! If you don't worry then maybe the author didnt do a good job.

[alt_megan]

But I don't think worrying is very fun.
