Today has been quite busy. I can't wait for the Masked Ball. That should be a lot of fun! And it gives me an excuse to go shopping again... eh he I wonder who I'll be paired with... That going to drive me insane for the rest of the week.

Tonight I'm very excited because there's going to be a meteor shower. It's going to be a lot of fun to watch them. They're so beautiful... *sighs* And I'll be going for a walk with Elliot, so that makes everything perfect! ^__^;;;

I've noticed my grades are starting to fall in Transfiguration and Charms. I'm going to have to study harder and get them back up. Sometimes I wish I was a little bit more like Hermione; I can never get myself to study willingly. *sighs* I just need to stop fooling around, that's all...

Oh, that reminds me... ( To Professor SnapeCollapse )

Well, yesterday was much fun indeed. I got to go study with Elliot outside. And it was breezy... *sighs* Wind is nice.... ::^__^:: Though some of my papers were blown down to the lake.. Ugh. It's not fun trying to chase after papers in a skirt. X_x Storm was upset that I wasn't going to be taking him out with me. He's starting to get full of himself. Time to consult the books again! *rolls eyes* Oh, and I forgot to tell Elliot about the Cd player the other day, so I brought it with. He seemed very happy when I showed him...

I can't wait for Quidditch to start. Sometimes I wish I had tried out for the team, but I don't think I'd be any good. Plus, I have more important things to do... Like sleeping.. Well, that's not really important, but oh well. I heard that one of the teams playing in the first game is going to be Slytherin. I wonder who the other team will be...

Yay! I didn't scare Elliot off! Go me! *flashes peace sign* So we're probably studying tomorrow outside...in the sun...away from the stuffy castle... Yes, I need a new hobby. But I have been feeling like I've been suffocating inside lately. I don't know why, though.. I think Storm agrees with me. He's been pacing near the door today and staring at me when I sit down to do homework. I think I'll go for a little walk after dinner or something to get my mind off of recent events. =-P

worried and a bit embarrassed

]

Well, I got up the courage and kissed Elliot. Though I only kissed him on the forehead... Such a coward... His reaction wasn't what I expected. It was kind of funny, but then again I've never done that to anyone, so... But now I'm kind of worried because he ran off without finishing our plans to study. I hope I didn't do something wrong and scared him away now.. I think I'll try talking to him after supper tonight. Ugh! *smacks herself on the head* I probably embarrassed him... Baka!!!! [translation: Idiot!!!!] *bangs her head on the table a couple more times*

Didn't go outside at all during my free period like I had originally planned. I stayed cooped up in the commonroom instead and slaved at homework. Now at least I don't have any to do until tomorrow...when they assign more... @_@ Storm must've known I was a bit flustered because in the middle of my Transfiguration homework he jumped into my lap and refused to get off. I swear, I think he can understand English and human emotions... By English I mean a couple of days ago I asked him if he wanted to go for a walk outside with me. He tilted his head a little to one side and mewled, then trotted to the door and stared at me expectantly. Ooh! I bet all pet owners say that, though. But he's such a sweet little cat. <3

Oh! My package came today! I'm so happy. I was going to tell Elliot that it arrived before he ran off... *mutters to herself* Baka.... So I can't wait to take it to Professor Flitwick. I think I'll do it tomorrow.

( To ElliotCollapse )

Elliot thinks I'm pretty! Eeeeee! *jumps up and down in excitement* I feel so special... No one's ever said I was pretty before.. I don't think I've ever been this happy before! I'm going to study with him sometime soon; I hoping we can do it outside because it's feel so overwhelming inside the castle lately..

Oh, and I heard we're having a Masked Ball at the end of term to promote "interhouse unity" and we're going to be paired up randomly with people from other houses. This should be fun. I wonder if we'll get to go back into Hogsmeade to pick out dresses, etc. Probably, because I don't know anyone who keeps a mask in their trunk.. *sighs* All in all, it's been an awesome day today.

Well, Hogsmeade was a lot of fun. Elliot is a lot nicer than he lets on... *smiles* And shopping with Blaise was a blast! Bought a bunch of sour candy, so now I have something to do while doing homework or something. And I found a book on the history of various potions. Maybe I'll find some stuff for the Polyjuice Potion... There's a slim chance....

Storm has been growing a lot. Now he has a little bit of gray streaks in his fur. He's so cute... I need to find more time to train him some more, though. I still feel like I'm neglecting him..

Homework's starting to rebel again. Better go and beat it down again.

::^____^:: The weekend's finally here! Hooray! I thought it would never get here. Today I'm going to Hogsmeade with Elliot, and tomorrow I'm going to go shopping with Blaise. I'm kind of nervous, though. I really lightened up on the dark make up- I want to look nice today. I wonder where we're going to go... No matter. It's almost ten o'clock, I better get down to the entrance hall.

Elliot just asked me if I'd go to Hogsmeade with him! *blushes* I'm so flattered... To think someone would ask me to go to Hogsmeade with them! *blushes some more*

*sighs* It's been quite hectic around here. Everyone's going bonkers just because Ron asked Hermione to go to Hogsmeade with him. I mean, come on! It doesn't immediately qualify as a date, unless they want it to be a date of course... But I'm staying out of that. It's none of my business, after all. *half-smiles* I didn't know Elliot was a gossiper. That was very interesting.. I'm very glad I stayed didn't join in the gossip; I really don't want the wrath of Prof. McGonagall upon me... *does a very bad impression of Trelawney* And gossiping leads to... DEATH!!!! *laughs* I couldn't help myself, the way she used to get on about Harry. *sighs* Well, now that that's out of my system, I'll never do that again...probably.

I got a reply from my parents today. They're actually going to send my Cd player and Cd's! Joy! Maybe I could get used to the new people posing as my parents... So, it should be here soon. I can't wait!

Malfoy won't tell me who he has a crush on. *scowls* He's no fun! Now I'll probably die of curiosity. *shrugs* Oh well. I'll probably get over it. It's not my business... *rolls eyes*

Let's see, I remembered to sign up for the trip, made a list of things I need, got most of the homework out of the way so it won't pile up that weekend, I wonder if I'm missing anything? If I do, oh well. I'm so looking forward to this. I'll finally be able to kick back and relax. And shop! he he Maybe I'll see some of my new friends I made over the summer. Ever since school started I haven't seen much of them and of course haven't been able to talk to them.

Sent Mum and Dad a owl yesterday and asked them if they could send me my Cd player and Cd's. I'm very happy that there's a very slim possibility that it can be charmed. I bet they'll say I have to wait for winter vacation to get it, though.

Schoolwork is threatening to drown me. It seems to multiply ever day. Hopefully I can fight it back down to a more resonable level. Oh! That reminds me. I still need to turn in that brief summary thing to Professor Snape. Let's see, I know who invented it- Lady Allison Jebra Bevinvier in Scandinavia in 1503... Still haven't found it's previous use though... Have all of the ingredients written down and how long it lasts... know the present use and of an inkling of why it's restriced... I still need to look up the early uses, and how the brewing techniques changed over the years. I've decided to make a clay model of a human and then charm it to transform into another person. I'm not sure what else to do with it though.. The clay model just doesn't seem enough to get a good score. I wish I could brew it, but there's that bloody restriction thing. Oh well. I'll think of something soon.

Yay! A Hogsmeade trip is coming up! I'm so excited. I could use a little shopping to distract me from school and my recent bouts of self-questioning. Maybe I can go with someone...

I think Miss Blaise Zambini and I are friends now. She's quite friendly to me, but I'm still not sure. I need to ask her or something. It's so strange though. She was never this friendly to me before.. Oh well. Doesn't matter. It's not like she has to be evil because she's Slytherin or anything.

The other day I passed Malfoy and Grinwald fighting. I swear, they act so much alike, and yet they despise each other. It's totally scary. Same arrogance and everything... *looks around*

I have made a decision. I'm going to see if there's a charm to make muggle electronics work inside Hogwarts in the library this week. I'm going insane without my Cd player. Surely there must be some kind of charm to make small harmless stuff like that work..

Schoolwork's been busier now that Professor McGonagall's back. I feel sorry for Storm. I feel like I've been neglecting him. *sniff* He seems to understand, though, and is just as loving as ever. Smart little bugger. I found out he's been clawing up the furniture while I'm away at classes. I'll have to go to the library sometime and look up to solutions to that.

Speaking of schoolwork, many of the classes are getting a bit more challenging now. I'm actually quite glad; I was wondering if NEWT level classes were supposed to be this easy. O_o I've found lots of stuff for the Polyjuice Potion project thing, but I'm still not sure what to do for the presentation. Maybe I'll make a clay model, then charm it to transform into something and back. Yeah, that sound good. Maybe I'll do something else, too. I'll have to think about it. Too bad I'm not a good drawer.

I got a letter from my parents today. O____o;;;;; That's the first time they've ever written to me while I was at school. And they were talking about how they miss me and can't wait to see me over the holidays! Alright, who are they and what did they do with my parents? all this niceness is starting to scare me. And if that wasn't enough, I've been questioning my identity recently. I mean, why do I think Goth is to cool? Why do I do all that stuff? Because I don't get enough attention at home or something? Is this even real? Or is it just a huge dream we're trapped in? Good thing I don't take Divination anymore. I bet this junk would turn into some strange prophecy that'd make my head spin. I already have a huge headache, I really don't want anything else added to it.

Professor Lupin got a puppy! It's so adorable! I wonder if he's named it yet... Its black coat reminds me of celestrial bodies for some reason. So majestic...

We have potions projects in Potions! Ahh! I'm super nervous. Even though I seriously enjoy Potions and all that good stuff, I don't want to mess it up (though I don't know anyone around Hogwarts who WOULD want to, but still.). I'm going to be doing the Polyjuice Potion, so this should be fun. I suddenly wish I had my Cd player with me. Music always helped me concentrate. It's won't help wishing, though. I think I'll stop by the library tomorrow to pick up the book.

I finally found my stupid schedule! It was in my trunk, in one of the balled up robes I despise.

( My schedule for whoever actually wants to see itCollapse )

Hmmm... I guess it isn't that bad. It definitely could be worse. *yawns* I'm so tired. I think I'm going to go to bed early tonight.

Ah, today was... surprisingly good. Classes were a breeze. And I'm ahead in homework! Woo! But now I don't know what to do in my free time.

Yesterday I actually gave good advice to someone! Yay! Even though they may seem good to me, my friends thought they were crappy. he he So, maybe I shouldn't be tentative about giving advice now..

Today Ron Weasley asked me why I wear dark makeup. *ponders for a moment* Hmm.. I never truly thought about reasons before. I always thought it was cool and I enjoyed scaring people, but is there a true reason under that? I'll have to contemplate that now. Oh, but now I've noticed that I have been wearing less of it now that I've made even more friends. I wonder what that could mean....

I still can't figure out where I put my schedule. I know I stuffed it somewhere, but I can't remember where. I've looked under my bed twice and in my trunk three times. I doubt it's in my bag.

Storm's been friendlier towards our fellow Ravenclaws. He doesn't hiss whenever someone comes into the commonroom now. He still sometimes bites and scratches me, though.

School wasn't so bad today. I'm actually keeping up with homework! Woo! Plus I have extra time to read and knit and all that good junk. Oh, and I got over my Cd player withdrawal, so I'm a much more pleasant person now.

Storm has been hiding lately. He doesn't seem to like all the other people around the commonroom. ::^__^:: Takes after his Mummy. O.o Did I just refer to myself as his 'mummy'?! Maybe I really DO need to be secluded from everyone for awhile... Oh well. Back to Storm, I hope he'll get over it soon. Because if I'm playing with him in the commonroom when it's actually empty, and someone comes in, he'll hiss and run off. Sometimes if I'm holding him, he'll bite or scratch me. Of course, he never draws blood or anything.. but still...

I heard Professor McGonagall was planning on turning Mr. I'm-so-rich-everyone-bow-down-to-me Malfoy and his brutes into Blast-Ended Skrewts. How wild is that? Go Professor! *punches peace sign*

Oh, I'm working on some poetry and a book in my free time. I'm not sure what the title of my book should be, but I already wrote a haiku. I'm very proud of it. I call it "Life is Like a Rose."

Life is like a rose:

Whenever one wilts away,

Another blossoms!

I think it really is true. Because if you think about it, everyday someone dies, and then someone is born on the same day, replacing who passed away. Ooh. Well, it's almost time for supper. Maybe I can snatch something for Storm.
