I actually agree with Hermione on this one. The camping trip will give me ample opportunity to practice what I've learned, and we all need the practice, especially with the rise of certain dark wizards. I've been reading up on a few of the creatures we're likely to encounter, and I can't wait. Does anyone know if kneazles are found in the wild, ( Read more... )

Bang-on job, Cho! It just goes to show that Ravenclaws are quick in the wit and on the broomstick ( Read more... )

My natter's been particularly active (and quite loud!!) since I've gotten home, it was all I could do to open it up and write...as of now, it's pinned down by my copy of "Hogwarts, A History" and another book on Charms that I got at Hogsmeade last time I was there. I'm learning quite a bit over break about the subject, and I think I might attend a ( Read more... )

This has been quite and exciting game so far-- if not a little nervewracking! Oh! Hufflepuff has just scored! Excellent play by Zacharias Smith!

It's all tied up now and the crowd is going quite mad, really. I think if this little clump of Hufflepuffs next to me cheers any louder I'll be deaf by the end of it!

Er. Well. I'm with Anthony and Morag at the minute, in Muggle London, but none of us are really sure where we are. There are a lot of street names about but I don't recognise any of them, and there aren't any maps or anything.

Are any of the rest of you out and about and willing to pick us up? I'm sure I could think of some way to show my ( Read more... )

Not to be insensitive or rude because I don't want to upset anyone further, but I'm feeling quite selfish and I'm a little bit glad about the point losses of Gryffindor and Slytherin. We're pulling ahead in house points so maybe Ravenclaw will finally have a chance to win this year! And on top of our spectacular vicory in Quidditch, too! Ooh, maybe ( Read more... )

Searching down the sides of my bed this morning for a quill I dropped there a few days ago, I came across a large pile of sugar all over the carpet. It was really weird. For the life of me I couldn't understand where it'd come from.

Turns out it was my Natter. I mean, obviously it can't excrete all the ice mice and bits of toffee it's been eating ( Read more... )

Congratulations, Susan Bones! I don't think I know anybody who isn't pleased about your auntie's win, doubly so because it seemed like there was a small chance she might not towards the end. I have no doubt that she'll do a better job than her predecessors! Tell her good luck and well done from me ( Read more... )

Now that the murder mystery is over I feel a bit more safe leaving my dormitory. It was quite scary-- there were students all over and then somebody said something about a zombie wandering the corridors, though I'm not sure I believe that. Oh well. It was eventful, which isn't so bad I suppose ( Read more... )
