I hate that I have to edit myself and that I have to act like the perfect little daughter. I love my father. I would choose him a million times over my mother. It's just not fair. He gets to be irresponsible when we're home. He locks himself up inside his laboratory for days on end sometimes. I'm the one who brings him food. I'm the one who makes him go to sleep. I'm the one who cleans up and takes care of things. I spend my summers working at the vet office so that I can further my career after school. I'm so much an adult that my time to be free and be a kid is supposed to be at school. I work hard at classes and my grades. I don't goof off on that because that's my future.

But to now be told that I can't be myself at school? All the other kids get to be how they wish because their parents are all home. For me... my father and godfather work here. When do I get to do what I want? When do I get to be me? After school is over? No, because that's when I start my career training.

I'm sorry for being rude yesterday. I know you're only looking out for my father's position here. On the flip side of the same token, though... You know how he gets when we're at home. I have to be the responsible one. You have Jarvis to bring you food and keep the house clean and do all the chores. When Daddy gets an idea in his head, it's days in his laboratory and I'm the one left to do all the rest.

I'm sorry for not editing myself, but I didn't see anything wrong with what I said. The Scribbler alluded to the idea that I was a vampire. I was simply trying to have a little fun with it... to make light of it, especially after last month's horrible rumors.

{Blocked from all faculty}

I'd just like to thank whomever wrote the curriculum for our seven years of school here. You allowed me to learn the charms to block my journal from specific people and thus allowing me to, hopefully, be myself without getting into trouble. All of you should be happy that you don't have a parent or godparent on faculty.

That said... I want to have some fun. Anyone down for a little party or something? Anything?

{Private to Peter}

So I know this is going to sound horrible, but....

Do you think you could possibly help me with Potions? I know my dad is the Potions professor and I've managed passable grades, but I really want to do a little better. Make him proud of me, especially after how I apparently keep messing up whenever I say something.

3 minutes and 43 seconds.

You aren't funny Wan nor does it prove anything. You only did one bed. The pranksters did 3 to 4 beds in each dorm room.

These feathers and glitters better come off by morning.

Students, I would like to take the time to tell all of my students that I will not here on Monday. I have some business to attend to in London. Assistant Professor will be taking over in my absence, but do not worry I will be back on Tuesday.

[Private to Tony]

Sadie was just being silly. Let her be a child, we both know she does more of the parenting than I.

Also do you think I can borrow some of your underwear when I change, so I can curl up with with. Hahaha!

What: Owl Post
When: Tuesday, September 22nd, breakfast (after the events of this)

And owl swoops in at breakfast holding a large, elegantly wrapped box. Inside are several strawberries covered in different flavors and swirls of chocolate. Attached is a note:

Mademoiselle Lia,

Look what I found!

It's unsigned, but I'm sure she knows who it is!
