NEWTs are over! Thank the gods; I thought I was going to just fall over in the middle of the Potions practical. That's the only one I'm fair certain I didn't pass. The others were easier than I had expected! Especially Care of Magical Creatures. That was fair simple. Who wouldn't know the dietary habits of Murtlaps ( Read more... )

I can't believe that people actually get to work with magical creatures for a living! It's fair fantastic- we spend all day taking care of the creatures in the zoo. I worried that mayhaps they'd have centaurs and things, but they don't. The head caretaker assured me it's just creatures with no human characteristics. That's good ( Read more... )

There's so many people here this week! It's crazy, almost like a Weird Sisters concert, but with more people that happen to be adults and less screaming ( Read more... )

Oh, Alfred! I'm sorry that I missed your birthday, but we were in Munich for the day yesterday and I forgot to look in my journal at all. I hope you enjoyed your gift ( Read more... )

It's so wonderful to explore the countryside of France with nothing but Onua, Cloud, and our pack of horses! We don't take roads, really. There's too much traffic from the Muggle vehicles- are they called cars?- and it scares the horses ( Read more... )

That was the strangest thing, waking up in Gryffindor dorms! I thought the Hat definitely sorted me into Hufflepuff in my first year! Well, lots of my friends are in Gryffindor. Perhaps they invited me in. It wasn't you, was it Dean ( Read more... )
