Journal entry Sept. 24 11p.m.
Dear Diary,
This has been a most upsetting week. The Slytherins attacked Erik Cohen even though he's not saying so. And by the looks of him they went beyond the normal tricks and hexes. Luckily, he is recovering in the hospital wing but he refuses to tell any one what really happened. These attacks have to stop! I keep praying, hoping for answers but none seem to come. Sometimes I wonder if anyone realizes how confusing my world is - religion and magic don't mix, yet habits are hard to break.
I keep telling myself there is a reason for all the insanity going on right now and somehow something good will come out of it. Then I have a nightmare and I seem to even see them during the day now. Not all the time. It seems to happen when I'm concentrating on something or somewhat relaxed.
Obviously, with all the craziness going on I didn't have a picnic with Mason. I'm not sure if we will or not. I know he's upset about Erik and I'm trying to not let him know about my nightmares and flashbacks??. He has enough he's worrying about about me.
The tension here in the castle is truly becoming unbearable and has everyone on edge. More aurors have arrived supposedly for our safety. Not that they did Erik any good. I have to wonder, is it the devil within these walls we should be concerned with instead of the one without?
I have an appt. tomorrow at 7p.m. with the Divination professor, Prof. Bowen and I'm not really sure who else. They are going to try to help me figure out my dream and look at my necklace. Maybe finally I'll have some peace or at least a good night sleep. I fear I've been very irritable lately, though I know my friends have been most understanding. Still it's no excuse but at least now I'm trying to do something about it. I'm afraid to hope they will help me because if they can't I don't know what to do.
Well, off to try to get some sleep (hopefully).
