I've learned a valuable lesson today. Never let your cat get hold of your journal because she'll hide it in the the most difficult place she can imagine with her cat brain. Why can't she do that with my homework? It was kinda fun hunting for it, though, so I don't really mind.

Speaking of fun, Hogsmeade's soon! Anyone got any plans?

I guess cats are just funny like that.

Salman and I were going to go and browse for new records..I'm free afterwards if you were looking for someone to hang out with.

[badassadorkable]

Yeah, cat brains are wired differently from ours. Cake's pretty chill, though. Usually.

Sure! I was just gonna do whatever. I don't really do plans.

[marshall_lee]

I've never really had a pet before so I wouldn't know.

Me neither. I usually just end up wandering around and talking to people. I'm a pretty cheap date..haha.

[badassadorkable]

Pets are awesome. They're like living stuffed animals that you can cuddle and play with all the time.

Wandering around is the best, cause the you can find cool stuff that you never would've noticed before.

[marshall_lee]

Ehh, animals really don't like me much so I never bothered.

I've only been to Hogsmeade once before over the summer since this is technically my first year here and all. I don't know my way around so I think I'd be wandering by default anyways.

[badassadorkable]

That's cool, I know they're not everybody's thing. Especially cats.

I can show you all the cool places, then! It's gonna be so large.

[marshall_lee]

I don't mind them. They just don't like me.

That sounds good! I need to stock up on parchment. I go through it an awful lot. Huh, I should probably pick up spare guitar strings too.

[badassadorkable]

That happens. Like I said, Cake's usually chill, but sometimes she just doesn't like people.

Yeah, me too. And quills, cause Cake likes to think they're her toys. You play guitar?

[marshall_lee]

I sure do. I can play bass, guitar and I sing.
I like to write songs too which is why I go through so much parchment. I just kinda tend to grab whatever is handy to write on when I think of a music refrain or song lyrics.
Do you play anything? The Music Club is always looking for new members.

[badassadorkable]

That's super cool! You're really talented.
I used to play the flute, but I'm way out of practice. I can sing, though.

[marshall_lee]

I try.
Really? You should totally get back into it and come to Music Club. I'll even sing with you.

[badassadorkable]

Sounds like a plan! I'll write home and see if they can find my flute.

[ladyliberty]

Where did you end up finding it?

[badassadorkable]

Under the heaviest wardrobe ever. I don't even know how she got under there, cause there wasn't much space between it and the floor.

[ladyliberty]

I think cats have powers. How did you even get it out?

[badassadorkable]

I tried to move the wardrobe first before I remembered I have a wand. So I used my wand to push it out.

[ladyliberty]

Or you could have used your wand to summon it!

[badassadorkable]

Oh, yeah. You'd think I'd remember that.

[ladyliberty]

I guess it wouldn't really come natural to you like that, huh?

[badassadorkable]

I guess not, but you'd think after five years I'd be using magic more often. Maybe it's cause I can't during the summer and fall back into old habits.

[ladyliberty]

All I can ever think about all summer is how much I wish I could use magic again!

[badassadorkable]

I don't really think about it. I'm usually too busy catching up with friends.

[ladyliberty]

Well yeah, but there's so much stuff that'd be so much better.

[badassadorkable]

Yeah, that's true. Magic really does have its perks.

Has your cat tried to eat your journal yet? Because if not, I'd say you're doing pretty well. As far as cats and journals go.

[badassadorkable]

No, not yet. She seems happy with just hiding it for now.
