[Private to Wayne Hopkins]
Seeing as we have been partnered for this Arithmancy project, it may be prudent for us to arrange a time to meet so that we can complete the task set for us. Is there any preferred place where you'd wish to meet?
[Private]
I wish I could've gotten partnered with someone else... It's not like I've had anything to do with him at all, except he made (what I thought was rather rude) a comment once on an entry I wrote. As long as he's decent at Arithmancy, I can at least try and be civil about it.
And I'm not so sure I'm looking forward to this party for Halloween...
I don't suppose anyone has seen a black cat with white patches wandering the castle?

I was only trying to stop it from getting out of hand. I'm not stupid I could actually tell she was trying to get some sort of reaction from Laura, but that's no reason for Wesley to try and make things worse even if he was defending her in his own strange way.
Then he had to go and say... I can't help the way I am... Just because I'm not... I don't see why I should just sit around thinking about snogging boys, it seems like such a waste of time. Besides... boys have never been interested in me that way...
[/End]
The weather is certainly appropriate today.

I still cannot believe the organisers of the charity game would employ such a charm on the doors to the toilets. It really was rather rude. and considerably embarrassing
Apart from that I suppose it was a decent game, which is saying a lot considering I've never been particularly enamoured with Quidditch.
Thank you again, Jason. Your Ancient Runes notes were quite helpful with the assignment I had last week.
[Private to Wesley]
I wasn't entirely sure I ought to ask... But I haven't done anything to offend you have I?

I honestly don't know if I was thinking properly when I decided to still take seven classes. I know I'm not taking any exams yet, thank goodness for that. But despite that the work load is certainly more than what I had orginally thought. I suppose the professors think it's a good way of preparing us so we know what to expect next year.
Although I'm almost regretting dropping Astronomy in favour of Herbology. At least I was doing alright there on my own without too much extra studying. Still I know that Daddy would probably appreciate that I'm not avoiding 'hard work'. It's not as if I'm a particularly lazy person or that I expect others to do the work for me... I don't know. Kind of like I still don't know what it is I'm going to do after Hogwarts.
Well, I still have over a year to decide that at least.
And there's being a prefect, or I suppose still being one. I... I know why I was chosen as one last year, at least I certainly have a very good idea why. I tried to do my best without being... without doing those awful things they expected us to do. I'm grateful that Professor McGonagall has given me this chance again. But I suppose I'm worried about whether I'll actually do a good job. It's a lot of responsbility. Even though there's house loyalty, you still need to try and remain impartial. I suppose that's what I'm worried about most really. That people will think I'm favouring someone because they happen to be Slytherin or they happen to be Pureblood.
I suppose, regardless of anything, that those sort of prejudices will always remain and that as long as I believe I'm doing a good job (and obviously that the Professors believe so too) that anyone else's opinion doesn't matter.
I don't suppose there's anyone who is taking Ancient Runes who would be willing to do a little tutoring? I won't complain if 'anyone' is a Gryffindor... I won't... I know the school term has barely started. But I figure it can't hurt to start studying early for it.
I very much blame this moment of wanting to study on my sister's influence and having only gotten an A on my OWLs. Even though she's no longer at school, I can still hear her telling me to study more.

( Astoria's Schedule, Private )
I don't see why people have been sharing their schedules. It seems a bit of a foolish move to show one's schedule for all the world to see. You don't know who might be reading these things half the time.
Anyway I suppose there will be plenty of time for me to study. Even with six classes (and prefect duties) my week doesn't look terribly busy. Thursdays look to be terribly uneventful, with only two classes, one first thing in the morning and the other isn't until three in the afternoon.
Also I must say I am very much looking forward to getting my Apparition License this year.

As my Mother would probably say, I was worrying over nothing. Though I don't think worrying about whether you're still a prefect or not is exactly nothing. As it is, I'm still a Prefect and I think quite lucky to retain the position all things considered.
Speaking of things to do with Hogwarts, it'll be a little strange going to Hogwarts this year obviously it'll be much different to last year with Daphne not going back as well. Though I'm quite pleased I won't have to worry about OWLs anymore and don't really need to start worrying about NEWTs just yet.

I don't suppose anyone knows when we're due to get our Hogwarts letters do they?
[Private]
It's just.... I mean, there's no real reason for me to lose my prefect badge is there? Unless... well, maybe they're worried about why it is we were given prefect badges last year. But then I didn't actually do anything... I don't think I could've ever done anything like... that.
I just can't stand all this waiting.

The WWN was... uh interesting the other morning, and not the part where we had to listen to Celestina Warbeck or the Weird Sisters.

Excuse me. I need to go take care of an insufferable cat... What the... oh my god there's hair everywhere. Now where the hell did I put my wand...

I know it's a tad unlady like and all to shout (though it isn't really shouting since it's just writing on a bit of paper), so I apologise in advance... But...
I AM SO HAPPY!!!
Firstly, it is my birthday and so far it has been a most enjoyable day.
Secondly, the day has been made all the more enjoyable by receiving the results for my O.W.Ls.
I think I did quite well. Perhaps I could've gotten more Os had I studied more diligently. But considering all the circumstances I believe they're still good and my parents are pleased by the results except for only having gotten Acceptable in Herbology... It's not my fault I have an aversion to dirt..., so that is good too.
I hope that everyone who has received their results today has done just as well, if not better.

I'm so glad that everything is being put behind us and that we're all starting to move on.
It was... well horrible. There's probably a better word for it but I can't think of one right now. I'm also glad that Daphne and I made it through all of it. I don't know what I'd have done if she'd been...
Probably best not to dwell on the what-ifs. Except maybe the one what-if, where I start to wonder what if it were possible to die from boredom...
[/Private]
Summer holidays are supposed to be about fun and seeing friends, having more fun and relaxing, right?
There was studying for my OWLs last month (since the Ministry decided to let people retake them on account of Hogwarts being under the control of crazy folk under uh new management and all back when), then actually taking the tests at the end of the month and on top of that working and helping out my father with the family businesses. Though only to the extent of actually manning the front of the store and reading books.
I know that it can't be helped with what's been happening I didn't think any of the staff were that bad but really, can anyone actually deny that summer hols should be for anything but having fun and relaxing before getting back to Hogwarts? I know that my dear sister probably isn't too worried, but then she's not going back to Hogwarts in September. Merlin, I just hope Mum and Dad don't start in on the whole 'Why can't you be more like your sister?' argument again.
So has anything of interest or intrigue been happening? Do tell, as inquiring minds want to know and are sorely wishing to be entertained.
