Well,
Justin's birthday is coming up on 1 June.
Susan seems quite worried on what to do for him, and I can't say I'm even sure I'll be talking to him then. I'm still angry at him and
Ernie, and they won't even talk about it. It's like, there's this huge thing now, only I still like them as people. But I'd feel just awful about myself if I ignored it. I don't know what to do and I cried to Susan all night about it. The poor thing is just hurt by
Harry, which I suppose I do understand but I don't think he had any bad intentions with it. Harry is always so polite. I really respect him now more than before.
Mandy and I went into Hogsmeade today and had a couple of ice creams while we looked at all the flowers and things that were springing up. A row of ducks crossed our path, a father and a mother and four young ones. I'd had no idea that the father stayed on after the mother had babies. We saw them right after they hatched a few weeks ago, and while the mother guarded them the father came after us and hissed. It was frightening!
I'm looking forward to the upcoming match against Ravenclaw. Justin versus
Cho makes me a bit nervous, though. I hope nothing bad happens! I'd thought of making a banner for Hufflepuff but my drawing skills are really poor. Maybe Ernie and I could get on it together, he doesn't play either of course. I don't think Ernie's really meaning to do anything bad, I just think he doesn't know. Perhaps I could explain it to him because I do wish we could just be friends again.
