I haven't had any time at all to write a song with all this homework. It's starting to get frustrating... I hate fifth year. I'd love to go back to fourth year, when it was just regular exams, because this is almost overwhelming.
It's killer on creativity too, because even when I have free time, I can't come up with anything. I need a way to get my creative juices flowing! Anyone have any ideas?

I've never seen Mrs. Von Tussel get so mad over an idea. I guess she really doesn't want to add any new kids to the show. Personally, I don't see anything wrong with it. We've been going at this for two years now. Maybe we need a little change. Besides, it's not like they're going to replace us.

For 3rd years, due Friday:
- Describe the historical uses of Amortentia in regards to politics in the 14th and 15th centuries. Chose one particular incident to focus on. What might have been different in European history had this philter never been invented? What has the so-called selfless emotion of love destroyed? Include a discussion on the difference between “real” love and induced affection.
For 5th and 6th years:
- The Mirthful Elixir is seldom used in modern Potions, but enjoyed a brief vogue in the 17th century. Describe the historical rise and fall of this potion, and how it influenced culture. How might induced laughter and humor be used today to benefit humanity? To harm it?
For 7th years
- The Confusing Concoction is an often over-looked potion, with many potential uses. Detail one unorthodox usage of this draught, bonus points for an original application. It is said that the mind should always be clear, but what might be the benefits of scrambled thoughts and a view of reality turned on its head? Discuss.
At least 20 inches. Any questions may be directed here, or addressed to me after class.

All I can say is, I'm glad neither of my parents decided to get a job here. Especially because oh, guess what? They're getting a divorce. That was the best thing to find out on parents day. Show them around, have dinner, get a bomb dropped in your face all in the same day. My dad cheated on my mom. God, men suck. I mean, why? Why can't they just be faithful, why even be with someone if you're going to cheat on them? Just get a cheap hooker if that's all you're after. I was gonna go home for Easter but now...screw it.

You probably think I sound a hell of a lot like Amber, bitching about everything. Sorry. How're you doing? I hope you liked the jelly beans... I didn't have anything else left from Christmas that wasn't half-eaten, and I didn't have time to buy anything else, but... I hope they were alright anyway.

You can certainly see where some of our special students get their traits from. It should have been called 'Bring yours weirdest freako family member to the castle day'
Not that there aren't enough freaks here already.
I told Mother not to come, it's not like I'm a first year anymore. I did send her a gift for Mothering Sunday though. A trip to a spa, that way she can work on those tiny wrinkles.

Am I the only one who finds it a little weird that people are still talking about Valentine's Day and stuff after what happened?
I mean... I don't think it's bad, really, that people are able to think about other things. It's probably actually really healthy!
It just seems like it must be hard to do. Or maybe it's just me.

Valentine's Day is in a week, and no one has asked me out. I knew it. This is just the beginning. First, no one will want to spend Valentine's with me, and then no one will want to marry me. I'm going to die alone.

I owled my Mother as soon as I heard about this whole Unforgivable curse issue. I don't know which one was used, but they're all the same. Yeah they let Aurors use them during the war, but students aren't Aurors.
To whomever cast the curse, way to ruin the weekend. I hope they give you the Dementors Kiss in Azkaban.

Mouths are puckering, boy entrancers are fluttering, and luuuuurve is in the air!
To get to the short and the short of it, as a public service Cas and I have decided to host a SNOGGING PARTY. It is this thing where you show up, grab a number and get snogging! Don't have a snoggee? WELL, you could prepare for a life all aloney on your owney and become a Buddhist monk, orif you look naff in orange you could meet one there! It will be fabby and marvy and also double cool with knobs on.
And because we know that some of you spend all of your days doing daft things like Arithmancy homework and have never used your gobs for anything other than shoveling food in them, we have provided a scale for you to research beforehand:
( SNOGGING SCALE )
It will be on the 10th, but not NUMBER 10, if you catch my drift (and I think you do). Be there if you don't want to be as lonely as an elk.

Snow. Fun. Yay?
In other news, I joined the Quidditch team.
I'm the new Chaser. I need a new broom, though! My old current isn't gonna be fast enough, so I'll probably sell my old guitar to pay for it. As sad as it makes me to sell such a big piece of history... Anyway, do any of you guys have advice as far as models? I've got some gold saved up, so with the funds from my guitar, I should be able to afford a fairly decent one.
Also, don't think I'm going to be neglecting the band. Stephen and I are still trying to work out a few creative differences, but I think a merging is gonna happen. Maybe. It depends.
Speaking of Stephen, I need to talk to you about something.

Okay fine, I admit it. I let some of those lizards loose in the girl's bathroom when it was fully occupied.
Also in the kitchens.
...I'm pretty sure the house elves don't have recipes for lizard stew.
...Maybe.

Alright, ew.
There's a lizard stuck in the hollow of my guitar. And I can't get it out. I don't even know how he got in there in the first place! It doesn't look like it would even be able to fit inbetween the strings to get in there.
And then there's the fact I have to wash everything I own now, because I'm not all that comfortable wearing things that lizards have crawled all over. So can someone hurry up and deal with this, please?
I'd definitely appreciate it.

WHY ARE THERE TINY LIZARDS IN THE DORM?
Seriously, I get that this is a magic school, so I should probably expect some weird stuff, but why are there all these tiny lizards?
And why are they purple? I don't think that's normal...
Oh wait...
TWILIGHT I THINK I FOUND SPIKE!

You know, January's almost over, and February's coming up. Guess that means Valentine's Day is coming up. And, you know, if anyone's having a party or if there's gonna be a dance, I might know where you can get a band.

Despite its persistently dusty appearance, returning to Hogwarts always has its advantages.
During our vacation, Liz dragged me to see a muggle movie named Midnight: Broken Dawn. Frankly I am appalled at how muggles view Vampires and Werewolves. How could a vampire travel to Brazil? This is just illogical to me.
And when I asked Liz to explain, she told me that they sparkled in the sunlight, but I cannot fathom why this would be the case.
I am left to presume this is another case of muggle movies adapting novels poorly.
[ooc: "Midnight" is what I'm calling "Twilight" for all intents and purposes.]

I hope that everyone enjoyed their holiday. As nice as it was to to relax for a while, I'm glad to be back at the castle again. It's always so lively here.
I suppose with the beginning of the new year, it's time to start studying for OWLs in earnest. Would anyone like to form a study group with me?
