Okay everyone in Gryffindor (and friends in other Houses)! Seamus and I decided that with all the good news lately we are way overdue for a bit of fun and celebration. Soooooo... we are going to throw a Welcome Back Hermione, Congratulations Neville, Hurrah for Some Good News Finally party. It'll be tonight after dinner in the commons, and it's ( Read more... )

Am I wrong to long for the days when the most exciting thing happening at school was Parvati's new hair style or catching Vicky Frobisher snogging a seventh year? Last year was bad enough with that Umbridge bint, but this one takes the cake. I've spent most of this term scared or stressed out. And I shouldn't be, right? I'm practically the school ( Read more... )

Well I'd heard rumours that these books attacked if you didn't write in them often enough but I really thought people were just being silly. Not so! I was having a bit of a lie down and I woke up because this wretched journal was NIBBLING MY TOES! Not on! I had just put new varnish on, a lovely sort of mango colour and, oh, it was vexing ( Read more... )

Wow that hand was really, really gross. Everyone was totally skeeved by it and Professor Trelwaney looked like she might spew. Which would have been even grosser because I sit right up front ( Read more... )

Is twelve days all it takes for most people? Everybody's back to just talking about the normal things. I guess they want to forget, maybe. I wish I could be more like everybody else. It just seems silly to go on about Divination or what happened in Potions class when I look at Seamus and he's still so sad. I know writing in these books is an ( Read more... )

Oh my has it been a week already? Time goes by so quickly when you are ignoring all the drama of others. I think it's funny that people like to just display themselves and their private lives in these books! Myself, I like to keep some things to myself you know ( Read more... )

Happy birthday to meeeee!!! That's right, it's my birthday and that means everybody better be nice to me. I think it's very lucky that my birthday falls during hols. I'm not sure what I'm going to do yet- if anyone has any ideas let me know! But it's beautiful outside, a lovely day, and so far it's quite nice. Later on I am going to do my reading ( Read more... )

Some of you may not know this but I am really voracious reader, and since it has come to my attention that the scope of our Divination classes is limited to only the most traditional forms, why I decided to indulge in a spot of research. My father sent me just tonnes of books on every obscure form of Divination he could manage to get his hands on ( Read more... )

You know what? I think Saint Patrick's Day is even better than Valentines Day! I mean, the Irish people become so festive, and if you are lucky they will say wonderful things to you in Gaelic! Well, I hope they were wonderful; since I don't speak Gaelic I can't say for sure. But it was a very nice day and it is my new favourite holiday. Erin go ( Read more... )

Right, I need to write in this silly thing. All my other marks are good and I wouldn't want to muck things up by not doing something as simple as this! I've just been busy with much more important and occasionally fun things. Valentine's day was absolutely BRILLIANT, thank you Fred and George Weasley. I've one less thing to worry about now! Also, ( Read more... )
