The weeks have been simply flying by and I'm afraid that I shall miss things if I so much as blink. There are so many decisions to make concerning what path of life I should choose after leaving Hogwarts; it's a bit frightening to realise that I have to start making arrangements to be on my own. Of course, my parents have assured me that I always have a home with them but I don't think it's fair to them to return there after I've left Hogwarts. Leaving school is part of the passage into adulthood and I intend to make the journey as properly as possible.
I am thankful that Christmas break is soon upon us; I plan to make a few visits that will hopefully help to give me direction when my time at Hogwarts has come to an end in a few months. I have owled a contact in the Department of Mysteries at the Ministry of Magic to arrange for a meeting; I am most interested in acquiring a position there, whether it be apprentice, trainee, or otherwise. I will also be taking stock of a few flats in various areas of London. My mother and I have been corresponding over the matter for a few weeks now. She's asked me what I'm looking for in a flat but I honestly don't know. I expect that I'll know the answer to that question when I see the flat that seems the most 'me.'
In addition to all of this and revising for N.E.W.T.s, I've been doing a bit of research as I promised certain people I would. Headway is being made, I believe, but I should like to dig a bit deeper before I take my findings to anyone. I could make commentary on what some of us happened to see on the outskirts of the forest whilst walking Fang but I shall refrain.
However, I will not refrain from letting my feelings about Sustained Silent Reading evenings be known: I will not hesitate to go above and beyond the call of duty to make certain that heinous interruptions will not occur again. I have done it once and I will not hesitate to act accordingly once more.
On another note, has anyone found a small phial with an intricate bronze stopper and detail work at the bottom? It isn't for Potions; it's a lachrymatory and I seem to have misplaced it.
