It has been a very nice break, though it is good to be back honestly. I am glad we have an upcoming formal to look forward to as well, as I believe it will do a lot to brighten our month, especially with these long winter nights.

Did they speak with you too?

I hope everyone is ready to get back to work, and that my students have finished their project - which is due this week for all of you. Remember that it is half of your grade for this marking period.

[Private to Adrian]
Would you and your friend and sister like to join me for dinner this evening?

It seems like break went by so fast this year. It doesn't seem like Christmas was already over two weeks ago and that we're boarding the train in only a few hours. I will miss Portland - running in the rain is so much easier than running in the snow. Though, admittedly, I could have gone without all of the freezing rain we've had the last week. That's never fun to run in, I'd almost take the snow at that point, but yet some how not quite.

I'm glad Mother said it would be okay to stay the night over in Marble City before getting on the train - rather than flooing it in like we usually do, I can't sleep and taking a run on a clear night in the mid 50s? I couldn't ask for a better way to clear my head before classes start back up. It'll be my only chance to get a little bit of sunshine before its back up into the mountains - where I'm sure more snow on top of more snow on top of, you guessed it, even more snow is patiently waiting for us.

I need to move somewhere warm, with sun, and maybe some pretty water after school. Too much gross weather everywhere I go.

I'm finding it hard to decide if it's a good idea to go back to school already because of the attack on the ministry. Dangerous things keep happening, and we may just be safer at home with our families, rather than at the school where one student has already died. My father says that this is reminiscent of some of the things that happened the last time Nyx appeared. We must be vigilant

So think you want to ride with me on the train, or are you gonna be busy with your slytherin friends?

Well, I gotta say that I'm surprised that the winter break has finished already. It was a nice one and one that was completely explosion free. My parents were quite happy for that fact. They were no so happy about the tea kettle that is now here and part of the family though. My father has banned me from creating illegal life forms again. The ministry though was rather impressed with my findings, at least the members I spoke to before the attack.

Ravenclaw Quidditch team, I hope you've been practicing! We need to be in tip top shape to win the rest of the season. I would also like to announce that I might have found us a new seeker.
