DIARY ENTRY: 5 September, 1942

Dumbledore (I'd love to rip the skin from his face and see what lies beneath) pays twice as much attention to the half-giant as he does everyone else in our year. I think he's grooming it to be some sort of pet or servant

Hmm ... I think this is a lovely entry ...

Thank you. *g* I guess great minds and all?

And I am dying of curiosity - if I can ask, how did you find this journal? Through CQ? It isn't common knowledge that I'm writing these entries yet...

(Not that I mind, or obviously I'd have locked them. The opposite, actually - I'm thrilled they are being read.)

Ah, I've been trying to remember … took a bit o' time cuz 've got a cold suddenly and brain's partly frozen up … I believe you played LV in a recent little role-play --- in Lilian-cho's lj, wasn't it ? That's where I found this lj … Naturally, being a die hard advocator of the fact that LV has been written extremely poorly in canon, I had a looksie … I hope that's OK ?

I hope you are feeling better!

I think I remember that RP - it was very fun. *g* And it is more than OK, I'm glad you did.

JK Rowling tells us a lot about Tom Riddle, but a good bit of it contradicts itself, and...yeah.

Children's bks negative chars are often so badly written. The first book was indeed a children's one, but all the others are certainly not only children-y stuff. And frankly, if I was a child, I'd refuse to read the ones with Lucius in them. He had been written rather cardboardishly initially, but since Isaacs almost totally redefined him in the films, he's really become a scary chap inna books, definitely more rounded than most other neg chars.
TEE HEE.
Isaacs should be proud. He did what neither Rickman, nor Coulson managed. He pushed a little bit of brain into jkr-s head. As it is, I'm proud of him.
