I said I was going to get more owls than usual this year...

Another owl this morning, quite a funny one though. My dad, Mr I-don't-need-to-pass-my-exams-I'm-going-to-be-an-international-rock-star, deemed it necessary to contact me again, exhorting me to behave myself at school. I can only presume my mum has been on his back, although why she has the idea I might not be behaving myself, I do not know. Perhaps I did not sound enthusiastic enough about Professor Umbridge when I replied to her last owl. I'm also not sure why she thought my dad of all people would have any influence over me whatsoever, but the prospect of them uniting to keep me in line when they can't stand the sight of each other is quite sweet really.

Looking forward to Hogsmeade. It might cheer Cho up. She looks a little brighter when she mentions it. It'll be good to get out, do some shopping and have a drink with friends.
