I just went and saw Evan in hospital and he should be out soon. The swelling's going down at least and his arms are almost back to their normal colour. Madam Pomfrey said he'd get better faster if his teammates weren't bothering him all the time, so I left. I don't feel too good either and Hermione made me take Pepper-Up Potion, and then Natalie made me take more, so now my ears are smoking and Madam Pince keeps looking at me because I'm distracting people. Me and Ron are trying to work on our Potions essay, but someone has the book we need so Ron is trying to find out who so we can ask them to borrow it.
We haven't had Quidditch practice at all since everyone got back from holiday, because Madam Hooch said we have to find a way to split up the time on the pitch with the Slytherins, and the Slytherin captain wants to reserve it every day for twenty four hours. I guess the Ravenclaws and Hufflepuffs are getting a lot of practice in the mean time. We don't have another match until next term anyway I think, but I'd like to go out and practise anyway. Sirius and I went flying over Christmas and that was really nice. Sirius is really good.
Ron says Snape has the book we need, so we're probably not going to get to borrow it. I don't see why he's checking books out of the library anyway. I mean, he has to have a thousand of them. I have another book that'll do, I think, so I reckon we'll have to use that, and maybe we can see if Professor Lupin has any that will help.
