Being proven right isn‘t always an exhilarating experience and sudden leaps of understanding, during seemingly ordinary encounters, hurt like hell. Clarity can get stuffed.

Focusing on Quidditch however is proving to be the best way to forget other things relieve stress when it comes to the N word ( Read more... )

[Private to Ravenclaw]I know you’re all thinking about the upcoming ball and the party in the common room, but I’m going to divert your attention for a moment ( Read more... )

Filthy weather. I had a crap start to the day. Got caught in a freak rainstorm and then to top it off, only half an hour into my morning run, I cramped up. Tomorrow, I'll have to make sure I spend a couple of extra minutes warming up ( Read more... )

I only have two essays to go. Herbology and Ancient Runes. I’m not in any rush to start either. I think I'll leave both till I visit my grandparents. It'll give me something to do while they go off antiquing, or whatever it is they do now that they've retired. I really should pay more attention to what goes on in their lives and spend less time ( Read more... )
