Most of the summer has passed me by without really being aware of it! I can't believe it. I've gotten some very exciting news over the summer, though. I'm to be the new Gryffindor prefect this upcoming school year. I couldn't be more thrilled! It's such an honor. Grandfather says that only people with integrity are chosen for it. I'm not really sure if that means that I qualify really, but I guess...someone saw something in me that merits leadership? I don't know. Most of the time I'd rather hide behind my books. They, at least, I know what to expect from.
I've been out riding on horses a bit this summer too. I'm getting pretty good! It's so peaceful out there. I met a girl new friend, too. She's got pretty blond hair. Saved me once on my horse when I was about to make a fool of myself. Guess it's not hard to do, though, since I'm not really all that athletic. I mean, I manage on the Quidditch team and everything, but that's only because I practice a lot. And I can come up with some really good plays, apparently.
Umm...I think I've babbled enough here. Hi everyone? How is your summer?
