Isn't the point of summer to have something to look forward to throughout the schoolyear? And then to eventually become bored with it and actually sort of look forward to going back to school, thus creating the delusion that school is actually a place we want to be?
It's not working. I'm bored already. Expect many lengthy owls detailing the excruciating tedium of my summer, everyone. Also, knitted socks. Don't laugh, it's therapeutic. I'm hoping to get away for some amount of time. I'm hoping I can inflict myself on some of you. Any takers? |

A bit late saying it, haven't been thinking much about these journaly things... but CONGRATULATIONS HUFFLEPUFF!!! Amazing work, everyone! Cedric would've been proud to see it. Brilliant match, Gryffindor.
I feel a bit achy, but otherwise all right. In comparison to others, it's ridiculous for me to whine. I still can't really believe that it's all happened. Fucking Slytherins. Should cart the lot of them off to Azkaban to save everyone the trouble later in life.
I don't know what to say to anyone about it, besides the requisite anger. I don't know what to say to Ginny, if she even wants to talk to me at all. I didn't even know what was going on. But I should say something.
This whole place has gone mad. |

For once, I'm glad my parents are Muggles.
Nothing I have to say about St Mungo's will be of any help to anyone. At least, nothing I could say on this journal. It's a horrible thing, but somehow writing about it makes it seem so impersonal and not quite as horrible, and that's not appropriate. So I'll stop now.
Right. Now, someone come get these first-years off me. They're latching onto anyone above third year.
I need to get out of here and think about this. Unfortunately, there's nowhere to go, and in the end, I probably don't want to be alone anyway. |

A bit of tact would go a long way with some people, I think. |

Hufflepuffs, we're going to win this. Don't worry about it as they played bloody rotten anyway, as always. But I suppose if you can't win fairly, you do what you can with violence and intimidation tactics. As Professor Sprout said, we haven't lost the Cup yet. If it takes triple the practises, we'll win it. It's Hufflepuff's year, all right? |

GO HUFFLEPUFF!!!
In a terribly good mood. Hopefully the game will only strengthen it, right?
I really need to concentrate. Don't be too relaxed just because good things have happened so far. I have to focus on the game. No more thinking about Ginny and the fact that she agreed to go on a date with me hahahahahaha
No, stop. This is not a valid reason to lose focus. People go on dates all the time and manage to stay focused on Quidditch. Right? Yes?
Hahahahahahahahaha.
Shut up, brain.
Am going to go over maneuvers before I completely lose track of everything ever. |

Back at school. And not too soon, either. Three of my cousins spent the weekend at our house and I spent the entire two days attempting to hide all my things from them. They range in age from five to eight, and their life's mission is to find anything and everything that doesn't belong to them. And, if possible, to destroy it. Luckily, all they managed to get their hands on were my Ice Mice. Which they ate, of course. Bet they didn't expect the result. My parents were mortified. Luckily, I convinced them that they're only kids and they didn't know what was going on anyway.
Finally managed to get a look at the Prophet since I've been back. It all seems so... bizarre. Like I missed it and it didn't really happen, but it did, and I can't get a handle on it. Especially Professor Moody. But I guess it's never who you'd suspect. You'd think I'd know that by now.
Anyway. Happy Easter, everyone. |

All right. So I've been told about Gringotts, but what's this about the Ministry?? I should never have cancelled my subscription to the Daily Prophet. Though I suppose it's easier to keep things from my parents this way, without papers lying about where they could find them. Mum's been misting up a bit already for no reason. I knew I should've stayed at Hogwarts. |

My parents have actually been fairly mellow since I've been home. Mum's been gardening some, which keeps her usefully occupied and not worrying about something or the other. Dad is going on about going out and doing things which, presumably, will be beautiful bonding experiences, but in the end I suspect we'll sit around at home and watch television.
...Merlin, I'm so bloody bored. Wish I could Apparate already so I could go to Diagon Alley. Mum doesn't hold too well with Floo Powder.
Maybe I'll go for a walk.
Maybe I'll owl
But I've got nothing to say, do I? Not that I ever do, to be fair. I am useless with girls. |

Has anyone seen my Quidditch socks (which I may or may not consider lucky)? They must've gotten mixed up in the locker room after the match. I believe they are imperative to future Hufflepuff victories, and would like them back ASAP. If you seem them somewhere, let me know.
Description of lucky socks is as follows:
Yellow.
Socklike.
There are two.
Not at all smelly (well, maybe in a post-Quidditch-victory kind of way, but it's not like that's a bad smell). |

To the Ravenclaw House/Quidditch team - I offer my condolences in advance for your loss.
I wonder if Ginny's going. Just out of curiosity.
[P to Ginny]
Are you going to the match?

Old news, and everyone's already had their say on it, but I just can't believe the Ministry couldn't keep ahold of one Death Eater. Thankfully, my mum doesn't get the Prophet, as I'd not like to think what she might do. I wish I'd just kept my parents in the dark about some of this, but I suppose after second year there really wasn't much for it. I'm worried enough without Mum's help.
They can get out of Azkaban and their own trials. What are we supposed to do? Wait around until they show up at Hogwarts and kill us all off?
Maybe Mum was right. |

Despite the fact that I'm an awful dancer and my dress robes were a bit too big, I had a great time at the ball. A good Valentines Day - just when I thought they didn't exist.
[P to Ginny]
You looked really lovely nice. Thanks for going with me.

More owls from home, hurrah. I used to like getting them, actually. I suppose I'll only get to hear more of the same when I go home for Christmas hols - how I'm not safe, surely going to die, etc. It's all gotten a bit boring.
I wonder if they'd ever actually make me leave. Though I don't know how I'd be safer at home. Certainly wouldn't be happier. Suppose they put me back into some Muggle school? I don't want to think about that.
I don't want to think about the fact that they're just worried about me. I want to be angry about it. Because it's started to make sense and I hate that, because I don't want to leave. I don't want to go back and try to fit in with everyone else again. I mean, it was hard enough the first time round, whenI came to Hogwarts.
At least I'm not the only one having problems with their parents. Though I probably shouldn't be happy that other people have to deal with it. Selfishness, I guess. |

I said I wouldn't read what I wrote after the ball, but I did anyway. Morbid curiousity, I suppose. I'm so, so bloody sorry to everyone - Zach and Anthony and Su especially. I'm awful with apologies, that's why I always try to keep from doing anything that might require them. This whole thing is such a mess. I didn't mean to say those things, really.
[Private to Zach]
I'm really, really sorry for what I said about you and Susie. I mean, I can't say that I didn't mean it because I was under the potion and I suppose that means I did, but I'm sure that's only because I don't know Su as well as I do Susie and because you haven't been going with her as long...
I'm just really sorry.

Oh, no.
I apologise for whatever I said. I don't think I want to find out what I said, really, so I'll just apologise for it. |

The ball was all right, I guess. Kind of boring. I hope Hermione had fun. I'm kind of boring too, I think. I'm surprised anybody went with me in the first place. Boring, boring, boring. I guess it's that whole nice-guys-finish-last business. I think I'm nice. I try to be nice. I don't say cruel things like the Slytherins do.
I don't like them. Slytherins, you know. They're all kind of sleazy, aren't they? I think so. I thought they were supposed to be high-society, but they're all rather scummy. Especially the girls - not attractive at all. But I don't like them, so maybe that's why I think so. Anyway. Trashy, the whole lot of them.
But at least they're interesting, unlike me. Oh, well. I suppose my parents were right, and I'll end up being a dentist or something after all. Even though I don't really like teeth that much. I mean, I like nice clean teeth. But I don't want to be looking them all day, no matter how nice and clean they are. |

Well, I've got a date to the ball! I'm taking Hermione. Should be fun now that the whole worrying-about-a-date thing is overwith, anyhow - I'm actually sort of looking forward to it. |

[Oct. 15th, 2004|10:37 am] |
Should I make my own plea for a date or let Zach find one for me? Though, on my own the best I'm likely to get is Moaning Myrtle. Still, you never know who I might get set up with.
Er. Oh, well. Everyone else is doing it. Any girls from another House interested in getting some points? |
