Hard to believe its been nearly a month since school's started.
Honestly, I've been so busy with Head Girl duties and getting after James to behave that I've completely neglected this thing.
Huh. Of course, now that I've sat down and have time to update it, I can't think of any of the things I would have liked to write.
[Private to James]
Except one. You-you do realize you need to set a good example, right? I can't believe you're still passing notes in class. You're meant to stop others when they're doing that, you know!
And don't think I haven't noticed you sneaking out at night. I can't believe you're abusing your position like this. It would serve you right if I gave you detention one of these days, you know.

School's only started and already the Quidditch craze is rampant!
It's fun to watch and all, but if I see one more cocky Quidditch player strutting down the hall...
Honestly, there are more important things than being good at Quidditch!
Though I am still looking forward to the first game. Go Gryffindor.

Homework has been driving me mad. It's only the first week of school and has anyone noticed how much they've piled on already?
I've got it all organized, of course, but it's still a lot to be keeping on with between that and Head Girl duties.
[Private to James]
And speaking of, do you really have to abuse your power like that? I don't think that we need the halls cleared by 7:30, you know.
But, er... it's good that you seem to be enforcing the rules. Just, you know, go a little bit easy on the students!

I sent out letters to my parents and Petunia the other day. I always make a point to send them letters in my spare time. Petunia used to read my letters and go around the house quoting them to mum and dad. Hers were always the longest because, well, she's my sister, and one misses their sister when they're away.
Her letter came back, unopened and crumpled.
I had hoped that she'd gotten over not speaking to me, but apparently...
I just don't know. I've noticed her growing more distant over the last few years, but that was bound to happen once she began to get friends of her own and got busy with school and all.
but sending my letter back unopened?
I guess I just don't know what to make of that.

School starting soon.
I've managed to get all my books and supplies and all my homework was done weeks ago, but I can't shake this feeling that I'm forgetting something. It's been driving me mad for about a week now, and I'm still trying to figure out what exactly it is.
[Private]
Though I wonder if maybe it's nothing at all, except that I'm thinking of all of the new responsibilities that will come with being head girl, and if Potter was actually serious about being made head boy, then it will all be even worse.
Honestly, what was Dumbledore thinking? I mean, he's very bright, yes. But HIM in charge of keeping order in the school? He's responsible for over half the chaos that takes place, really!
And oh... bugger. I didn't even think of the fact that that means we'll be spending a lot of time together.
I mean, I think of all the time I spent with Remus being prefects, and the positions of Head Girl and Boy are very important, though I doubt he'll take it too seriously.
And really, it's bad enough having to live in the same dormitory as that arrogant prat, but now I'll have to endure hours of him prattling on about Quidditch and his hair and all the girls that fancy him? Well if so many girls fancy him, why doesn't he get on with it and snog one of them, instead of harassing me with endless pick-up lines?
All right. I've a feeling this year is going to be full of headaches, really.
[/Private]
And Potter-I did get your letter. But you can't be serious. Dumbledore wouldn't actually choose you as Head Boy, would he? And if you didn't notice, I sent out a reply ages ago.

Hrm. These things really are quite fascinating, aren't they?
No matter how much magic I've seen and learned, there always seems to be something else that I never even thought possible.
They're connected, and I'm still not quite sure how such an intricate spell would be worked, but it's really rather fascinating.
[Private] If someday I can create a charm even half as complicated as this, I'd be content, for sure. Charms is by far my favourite class, but doing something like this?
Certainly something that takes a lifetime's worth of study.
Of course, I would't complain about devoting more time after school's over with to study Charms and other types of wandwork.
Some people seem to be excited for school to be over, but in some ways, I feel like we're only just beginning to learn everything that we can, and everything that we-well, I, at least-want to know. [/Private]
Hm. It's odd. It's really rather late, yet I'm not really all that tired.
I suppose the summer schedule has gotten me out of sorts.
[Private] And this is the only time I can sit and think without feeling the glare of Petunia upon me.
I know that we've grown apart over the years, but she's not speaking to me this summer, and it's really very... unhappy, I suppose is the best word for it.
I'm not sure what I've done wrong, but I miss the way things used to be between us. We used to be nearly inseperable, and now...
But maybe it's all in my imagination and she's really just very busy and preoccupied. She is reaching that age, after all, when one wants nothing to do with their family.
Or at least, that's what mum tells me whenever she sees me looking down in the mouth about it.
Though, I'm not sure I really believe her, and I'm not quite sure she believes herself.
Hm. [/Private]
Well, at any rate, this certainly seems to be a curious new invention.
I think it may be a brilliant way to get to know each other just a bit better, really.
