Charmed to be Read by the Members of the Order of the Phoenix
I remember playing those games with Ron. And then having a bite to eat. And Sirius giving me a fizzy drink, which I'm now sure had something in it. And him giving me another. I think I might have had five in all. I don't remember much after that. I have this fuzzy recollection that there was loud music being played and at one point, people snogging right in front of me while I laughed, but besides that, it's one big blur. Please tell me that I didn't do anything embarrassing. | | Saturday, December 25th, 2004 | | 6:52 pm |

Private Post To Remus Lupin
Dear Professor Lupin. I know you keep telling us to call you Remus, but somehow, it makes more sense for me to call you "Professor". Anyway. *sighs* I remember you saying that you'd always be happy to talk to us if we have any problems. Well, I've been having problems at school. Wondering if you had the time? I know you're busy and everything, so I'll understand if you're not able to. Thanks. -Neville Longbottom Current Mood:  melancholy | | Thursday, November 25th, 2004 | | 4:33 pm |
Just got back from the Ministry. Professor Dumbledore came with us, Hermione, Luna and I. After reading about the experiences of Professor Shacklebolt, Professor Tonks and Professor Lupin, I was kind of intimidated, especially since I was the very first student to take the stand. Saw my Gran out in the crowd, which didn't make it any easier. First, the Prosecution asked a few questions about myself, but mostly wanted to know what happened at King's Cross Station on September 1 st. I told them everything that I could remember and that went all right. Then the Defence came up and that's when I really started to get nervous. Didn't ask questions about me so much as they did about Professor Dumbledore, the Order of the Phoenix, the D.A. and our involvement at the Azkaban Prison fight. Later, Hermione explained that they're just trying to set things up for later to discredit Professor Dumbledore's testimony, making him look like somebody irresponsible by putting students like me in dangerous positions and things like that. Kept looking out into the crowd to see how Professor Dumbledore was reacting, but he didn't seem to be worried. I even mentioned it to him after I was finished testifying, and he just laughed it off. Wish I could be that confident. Luna and Hermione went up after me, and they did a much better job than I did. Guess time ran out, because Hermione has to come back tomorrow to testify again.

PRIVATE Journal Entry
Charmed to be read by Neville Longbottom ONLYPeople walking around, all scared like, because of a note on the Ravenclaw door. Bet it's those filthy Slytherins who did it. They're always the ones who are up to no good. It happened after the Quidditch match between Ravenclaw and Slytherin, right? Somebody must have said some snarky remark to another, and this is the Slytherin's idea to get back at them. Screw them all. Screw them ALL. Been reading this journal, but haven't felt much like replying. As if anybody pays attention to what I say any how. People writing to one another as if I wasn't even there, as if I don't read this bloody thing. Saying that they were going to talk to me. Well, to hell with them. They never cared for me before, so why should they start now? Makes them feel good, like I'm some sort of bleeding charity case. I notice that several days have passed since they said they were going to have their little talk with me, but so far, nobody has. Right. A lot of hot air. It's always been that way. My Gran has sent me a letter this morning and I didn't even bother to open it. Tossed it straight into the fire. It's the same old bullshit all the time, and I'm sick and bloody tired of hearing the same speech over and over again. She's never given a damn about me either, more concerned about some convoluted concept of "family honor", whatever that's supposed to mean. Well, to hell with her, and to hell with everybody. From now on I'm just going to look out for number one, and I don't give a fuck about anything else. Current Mood:  angry | | Monday, November 1st, 2004 | | 10:07 pm |

So, Seamus and Dean and I talked other night in our room. Actually, they did most of the talking. They told me that they had a girl lined up for me to meet, but they wouldn't tell me who. Please, let it not be Bulstrode. Here's something cool...remember that mould that was growing on Dean's cheese? I was able to identify it and had it confirmed with Professor Sprout that it's a strand of fungi called Ascomycota ubertas podestis. It's called that because it's very useful in a variety of potions as a chemical base. Professor Sprout said I could cultivate it myself in Greenhouse Three. Speaking of Professors...is anybody else nervous about the strategy training thing that Professor Shacklebolt has planned for us on Tuesday? Anybody have a clue as to what it might be?

Classes begin
It's nice to be back in school, and I am especially happy with not having to take Potions anymore. No more Professor Snape. Unfortunately, I can't take Advanced Transfiguration either, since my O.W.L. wasn't high enough. I need to speak with Hermione about some tutoring, since I would still like to try to sit the N.E.W.T. Another good thing about my schedule is that I get lots of Herbology. I've also agreed to take Muggle Studies with Ron, just to see what it's like. I spoke with Professor Spout right after we arrived, and she is going to let me assist her in the greenhouses whenever my schedule is free. Which is going to be quite often. *looks at schedule* Yes, lots of free time here. Something really special to look forward to tomorrow, won't say anything more here.

On the Hogwarts Express
How dare they? Hogwarts is supposed to be a safe place. How dare they attack CHILDREN? But why should I be surprised? You-know-who tried to kill Harry, and he was just a baby at the time. Something needs to be done. Hermione and Prof. Lupin managed to round up all of the little ones, and get them safely on the train. They were so upset. Those kids are going to remember this for the rest of their lives. Welcome to Hogwarts, first-years. At least the castle is a safe place...

Happy Birthday to me
Wow, what a wonderful day! We went down to Blackpool pier for the afternoon and watched all the muggle tourists. Then Gran made Cornish Pasties for dinner, and we had chocolate gateau for dessert. And even better, Gran gave me my very own owl! I'm going to name him Winston. ( Here's a picture.Collapse )I also got this wonderful set of Herbology books from Uncle Algie. There's one book for each continent, with pictures and all! Current Mood: cheerful | | Friday, July 16th, 2004 | | 8:42 pm |

Woah
I seem to be a bit late to the news. I'm a member of the Order?!? Gran's not going to like that. I guess she can't have it both ways - protect me and have me uphold the family order. I can't help but think I'm unworthy. I'm not brave, I'm not smart, and I can barely manage Switching Spells. And O.W.L.'s are due back soon. *worries* Current Mood: insecure | | Thursday, July 8th, 2004 | | 9:09 am |
Well, for once I have some good news. Gran was hunting about the house, trying to find Great Uncle Algie's old wand. She banged around the attic all day for it. She got so upset that she cursed the nearest box. Guess what was in it? Uncle Algie's old school things, including his old wand. I guess that means that I'll be getting a new wand come August.

Gran's told me that I need to be writing things down. It will help me remember things I need, like where I put my Defence Against the Dark Arts book. The Rememberall certainly didn't help me at all - I kept losing it. Sometimes I get really sick of Gran telling me that I'm not as good and my mum and dad. Magic is hard enough without someone telling you that you're not good at it. I certainly hope she doesn't see this, it would be horrible. |
