Quidditch's been brilliant this year, the teams been really great out on the pitch, although it's a shame that there's weeks to go until the next match. At least Chrismas is coming up soon. I'd like to see my family again, and mum said Aunt Nic and Uncle Charlie will be coming this year, I'm looking forward to seeing my cousins again. Plus, extra gifts are always nice.

I was fairly surprised by this most recent article. It was hardly as rude as the last one, although fairly invasive. Not that anyone would really know how much of it is true. I'm actually not sure I even know who most of the items are about. With all the students in this school it could be anyone.I can't imagine who TB would becan't be Terry, but at least he or she may know the person behind the articles, so there may be some hint as to who's writing them.
Looks like I'm actually going to the ball. Very shocking, I know. I even have a dress, it may be the first one I've had since I was ten. I really wish the shoes were flats though. To be quite honest, I'm not sure if I'd much rather just spend the time in the common room. Nothing against you Terr! plus I'd get you alone I just haven't much of a desire to dance and it's not like I would be doing much other than damaging poor Terry's toes.
Even so, I am looking forward to the holiday. Hallowe'en has always been one of my favourite holidays, although it really will be a shame to miss out on actually dressing up. It would have been fun to dress as a Knight or something. Oh! I'd really love to learn how to sword fight! That would be really brilliant! With armour too. Bugger. Now I really wish we could. Maybe I can still find a few books in the library. Surely there's something there!
What else? Oh, right, I think the younger years re planning something. Daniel's been making something in the common room the last few days, and who knows? They may just run about in costumes all night long. I tried asking Matt or Anna but they refuse to reveal anything. I can't blame them, of course, but it does pique my interest.

Hogsmeade was brilliant, spent some time with my mates, and got loads of chocolate and the gloves I needed. Not to mention a few other things that have massive detention potential I need. It really is a good break from everything, although I did manage not to see a few people out there. Then again, some of them like Stephiewere probably up to nothing good at all.
I'd make a comment on the gossip thing, but really, why echo what everyone's said? Most people seem more bothered than anything. Something tells me that it won't continue. Regardless of the truth behind the contents.

It's starting to get just a little cold outside, which is really a shame. I'm sure I won't be able to go for my runs soon enough. I'm trying to get in a little extra flying in the afternoons to, it just makes it a little harder to stay ahead of my lessons as usual. I'm sure it won't be much of a problem, though I really need to find a bit of motivation with Defense course.

Twice in one day, I must really have nothing better to do.
That being said this update will not be about the ball, as frankly it doesn't interest me in the slightest and I'm sure all of you are incredibly pleased about that matter. I honestly just can't fall asleep. I considered trying to read or something, but I suppose I'm just too angry wound up to really fall asleep. I'm sure as I set this down I'll head back to my Potions essay. I really only have a foot left to go, and it's due on Friday, so I am kind of behind.
At least it's better than the Transfigurations essay. Nothing against the subject, I just don't like the topic. I've been struggling to conclude the final paragraph for three days. It doesn't look like inspiration will strike any time soon.
I really wish I could go out for a flight, it's too bloody quiet here.

Would you believe it? It's nearly midnight, and I still cannot fall asleep. To make matters worse, I've buried myself beneath the covers in order to try and save the girls the light, but something tells me that I'm likely too loud, for which I apologise. I'd run downstairs but the floor creaks so loudly than I'm sure it'll even wake Lisa.
Anyway, I haven't really written in here lately, as I haven't all too much to say. The Quidditch trials went brilliantly, of course, and practice has been pretty great! It's still weird not to see Roger out on the pitch though. At least he seems to be doing well on his own. Speaking of which, mum's most recent owl arrived. She's sent me my dresssugar quills and chocolate frogs, and although I'll likely regret saying this, I wouldn't mind sharing! Su... sorry no lollipops.

Practice was bloody fantastic. Ravenclaw is going to win this year, without a doubt! The team is so strong, and I know we're going to finally make that cup! It's a shame Roger won't be here to see it, but it's be amazing.

I think I'm tired of being indoors and on the ground. Mostly my fault, of course, I've been working so hard on my homework lately that I haven't bothered to go outside at all in the last few week. Of course there was the occasional flight out at the pitch, but I've been feeling fairly restless lately. Most of the times been spent indoors though, either in the library or in our bedroom, I'm sure I've shushed everyone more then enough, and I'd bet one or more of the girls is about ready to toss a pillow at me. Or worse.
Had a lovely flight with Terry the other day, not too bad at all, mate. You should consider trying out for the team. Speaking of which, I cannot wait for the next game, it's nearly two months away, but I am already massively excited for it. I suppose I just cannot wait to get out on the pitch for something other than your average flight.
In other news, I've finished the essay, and have absolutely nothing to do at the moment. Unfortunately the common room's not nearly as exciting as I hoped it would be. Although, I think that's mostly because it's currently inhabited by a dozen or so fourth and third years. And apparently they don't exactly understand the meaning of being quiet, because they have now started to echo off of the walls.

It's funny how only the slytherins are that sex-obsessed
I'm finally getting back in to the rhythm of school. It's nice being back and even classes are interesting. At least most of them anyway. The homework hasn't been all that tough, though I'm sure I'll be regretting those words soon enough. Bin's lecture's been interesting. I've gotten my first letter from mum, and she seems as anxious as ever, although she seemed really happy to hear about the twins, and she did send loads of chocolate and sugar quills, which is really brilliant, because now I don't have to wait for Hogsmeade.
As it turns out, I really have nothing to say. So I think I'm going to go out for a flight. If anyone want to join me, that would be nice.

Back at school. I was thinking of writing last night when we first got in, but I was a little too busy unpacking. The feast was pretty good though, and I'm really interested to see just how potions will turn out this year. After six years of Professor Snape, Slughorn will be an interesting change. At least I hope so.
I heard he was actually meeting with a select group of students on the train. I think Melinda, Marcus a couple of other people went. Anyway, it'll be weird to have Professor Snape as our Defense professor. Especially when he starts favouring the Slytherins. Though I do hear he's supposed to be quite knowledgeable in the subject.
Today's been fairly quiet though. Haven't had much time to see anyone yet as I kind of fell asleep early last night. Other thn at meal times, of course. I kind of want to head out to the pitch, but I promised the twins I'd show them around. Oh! And they made Ravenclaw yesterday. I was so happy! I've already written home, I know mum and dad'll be really happy to hear it. All four of us in Ravenclaw.

It's weird looking forward to Monday, but I am really looking forward to going back to school.
Most of my things are packed already, save some of the clothing. I imagine it won't be too hard to finish packing when the time comes. Of course I haven't really had all that much to do at home the last few weeks, which is likely why I've nearly finished reading half of next years text books. It doesn't help that there really isn't anyone my age in our neighbourhood, as they're all fairly younger. At least my siblings are gone sometimes, which is why I've had all of the time to read. Which will be really great, actually, because I'll have all sorts of time to spend out on the pitch. I just know our team this year is going to be brilliant!

August 9th, 1996
Hello?
I've just come back from Diagon Alley, armed with this thing, and the majority of my books. I haven't gotten my school list yet, but there things were sold at the moment, so I thought I'd see just what they'd look like. Supposedly you can talk to your mates and the like through them, though I have yet to see anyone. Maybe they don't work. I suppose that would mean I'm talking to myself, which I suppose is just a little mad. Which is why this is going to be fairly brief, I think. Things have been normal about here. I actually owe both Terry and Michael an owl, though I've been a little slow about responding lately. I suppose it's just that there isn't all too much to write about. I've read all of the crazy things going about in London and the madness going about down south, though there's nothing too awful happening around here. Which, honestly, is really a good thing. I'm sure mum would be less than happ to allow us tout of the house if that happened. She is a little... concerned.
Anyway, I think that's good enough for now, I do have owls and a book to get back to.
