Then yield thee, coward,
And live to be the show and gaze o' the time:
We'll have thee, as our rarer monsters are,
Painted on a pole, and underwrit,
'Here may you see the tyrant.'
I still need to get Christmas presents for everyone. Why do we have such a large family? It doesn't make christmas shopping very easy...
Hey Vic and Domi, what are you getting Maman and Dad? I need ideas... and so I don't end up getting the same thing as either of you.
The leaving blue footprints everywhere is a bit strange. Although they end up looking like a giant mess when tap dancing. Well... more like giant splodges. Still it's pretty interesting.

I wonder if people think those here at Hogwarts are getting sick because I was... hmm.
Now to figure out this sudoku puzzle. Thanks again Maddy and one of my favouritest sisters in the world (yes, Domi, I mean you.) for the books. Hopefully Maman and Dad don't find out. I think they put an embargo on that... or something about me not needing to waste time with my nose in puzzle books or something. Mostly because I tend to forget about everything else going on around me when I'm trying to figure them out.
Ha! 3 goes in that square.

I'm in the Hospital Wing now.
I don't like it here it smells weird. there's nothing to do. And Madam Pomfrey says I'm not allowed to have visitors. Something about being too contagious or something? I think she said it was Hodgson's Sneezing Sickness... I'm not sure.
I do know it's not fun randomly shrinking or growing when I sneeze. Although from what Madam Pomfrey explained, classes on Friday made sense all of a sudden. ...I hope I didn't accidentally hit anyone. That would not be good.
I'm so bored. Bored bored bored bored.

Transfiguration was um... interesting today. I don't think I quite meant for that to happen. DADA didn't exactly go well either. On the bright side, I didn't have any problems at all in Herbology. That could be because I didn't have to use my wand though.
I don't think I'll be going to Arithmancers tonight. I think I'm going to head to bed actually.

[Tuesday 3rd November] |
I actually enjoyed the dance. Which was surprising, I wasn't sure I would... but now I'm glad that Sylvia said I ought to go. So I ended up going as Henry V, complete with a crown and sword I'm glad that it didn't get taken off me, otherwise the costume would've been ruined completely. Speaking of the crown... did I ever properly thank you for helping me with it Sylvia?
Danced with a few girls, mostly with the 6YG girls but I did dance with a couple from other houses. I even danced with Antonia Fawcett... so okay she's a fourth year, but she asked and it'd have been rude to decline or lied about being tired. I hope her cousin that tall red haired girl captain of Slytherin isn't the overprotective sort when it comes to her cousins. I really really do. Apologies to Paul for taking away dance time with his sweetheart. Besides it's near impossible to say no to Sylvia, especially when she gets that look.
Sometimes I wish there was a separate boy's and girls club for wizards chess. I wonder where I can get a pair of ear plugs to drown out the giggling...
Anyone willing to help me out with my Potions essay?

Um.
So... apparently my journal's been stuck under my mattress this whole time and I didn't notice until yesterday. I honestly don't even remember putting it there. I always put it in the bedside drawer... I wonder why I put it under the mattress... That's why I've been so quiet on the journals.
A good choice for the fall play. Although... I'm not sure the happy ending is a good idea. There's a reason Romeo and Juliet is a well known tragedy and not comedy of Shakespeare's.

[Thursday 1st October] |
I know it's a bit of a late thank you to whomever you are, but... thank you! It was a rather thoughtful gift and didn't seem like you were poking fun at me either, so double points for that. and despite being slightly girlish... well, you know from a guy's point of view. I liked it and surprisingly didn't even mind getting woken up this morning.
Surprisingly enough I actually stayed awake during History of Magic... for the whole time. This could actually be a sign of the apocalypse.

...is it really Monday already?
And okay I panicked and I didn't end up asking Lindsay. Some Gryffindor I am. I bet Dad never had this sort of trouble... actually pretty sure none of my Uncles have either...
[Private to Sylvia]
I don't know that I should be telling you this, especially since this is supposed to be a Secret Santa. But... um... I ended up getting Rachel as my Secret Santa, which is great. Since I know her and everything.
The uh problem though is... I have no idea how to keep it secret. Becuase she could probably recognise my handwriting...

I think it's lost it's meaning being coded. Still that was kind of fun.
Okay. I've got two weeks to ask Lindsay if she'd like to go to Hogsmeade on the first Hogsmeade Weekend... or maybe I should ask her now just in case? Because someone could ask her before me... or maybe she's already going with Albus... and what if she talks to Albus after I ask her and if she's said no... But maybe Sylvia had a point and I should just ask, if only to get it out of the way...
First time in Drama Club on Saturday, should be interesting and strangely not so nervous about it now. Mostly because I'm more worried about asking Lindsay, which I still don't know if I can do. I reeeeeeally want to... but I try and tell her that and I just go all askafdlfl;sf. The only time I've managed was because it was anonymously done on the slambook...
Oh! Hugo, are we right for the youknowhat on the weekend?

[Wednesday 9th September] |
By heaven, I saw my handkerchief in's hand.
O perjured woman! thou dost stone my heart,
And makest me call what I intend to do
A murder, which I thought a sacrifice:
I saw the handkerchief.
I'm not so sure I want to continue taking History of Magic. Shocking, I know.
I think I did okay in Potions. The potion was rather yellow, I'm not sure it was a very sunshiney yellow. And I'm not entirely sure I added in peppermint... Sylvia, your's certainly looked better than mine.
The Drama Club's first meeting is Saturday right?
