I'm totally depressed that I didn't get to witness Katie Bell's general freakout thing firsthand, and I am instead forced to listen to the stories of other people. Now I know how it feels for anyone who is not me and has to come to my journal for information. However, my stories are much more believable than the load of garbage I'm hearing from

Conspiracies and fake jewellery, Lavender? Did -- Are people really saying that's what happened to Katie?

There's all sorts of rumours going on, Harry. It's horrible. And, of course, everyone just has to fuel the fire until they become much worse. Some are incredibly cruel, and others just down right disturbing.

Don't let it get to you, Gin. I thought Dumbledore would've told everyone what had happened when he returned today just to stop the rumours but I don't know. I guess at this point no news is good news. I had no idea though that the rumours about Katie had gotten this bad though. I've just been so busy lately that I didn't even realise.

I'm trying not to. It's just difficult to watch people take a situation like this, and twist it so completely. Katie doesn't deserved to be talked about. She never has, but especially not now.

Come on, after all these years of hanging around me I thought you would've noticed that twisting a situation like this is practically a mandatory rule. Then again, I do live such a quiet life...

Anyways, since we're both up what do you say we try out some of Seamus's new sets of Gobstones? He got loads of them in Hogsmeade last weekend and I doubt he'll notice any of them missing.

I don't intentionally hang around you, you know. It just sort of ends up happening.

Harry Potter living a quiet life? That's like saying Tonks isn't the clumsiest person on the planet. You and non-quiet go hand in hand.

I'd like that, actually. It'd probably take my mind off all of the nonsense going on.

What's the bloody point of telling the school when they'll make up their own stories anyway?

Well, the fake jewellery and conspiracy thing is just my thought, but the alien idea (and a few others that I didn't mention) are what I've picked up around the school.
