I overheard Malfoy whining in potions the other day about when the next Hogsmeade weekend would be. Well, the little git's prayers have been answered. Professor McGonagall just informed me (since I am a prefect after all) that this weekend we'll get to go to Hogsmeade.
It'll be good to get out. Ron and Harry could do with a break from homework. They're so stressed over their work! I can't see what the big deal is, really. It's not that bad.
