I hate to say it, but man I cant wait to get back to school. Life here is boring! Dad's been completely sucked away by the attacks and my brother is no better. So it's me and the house and Abacus. I can't wait until I get back to classes and doing something useful

[Private to Brinley]

Want to save me from my boredom for awhile?

The worst part about it almost being the holidays is that it's NOT the holidays yet. Blah. I don't know how much focus I can keep until then.

[ KEARA ]
Okay. You and me are gonna hang out Friday. If not Friday, Saturday. Deal?

[ MERU ]
Jeez, Meru. I'm starting to think that you're playing nice with me to set me up for whenever Gryffindor plays, Ravenclaw.

P.S. Gryffindor is going to win. ;)

When: 11/14, after Quidditch.

I would like to tell the Slytherin team that you fought hard and strong. It was a close game and it could've gone to either of us.

Gryffindor team, as your captain I can't say how proud I am since there are no words. You did fantastic and we were able to win our first game! Let's keep the streak going! Party in Gryffindor.

[Private to Brin]

Are you alright? Want me to bring you something or are they going to let you go free yet?

[Private to Adrian]

Are you alright? Is there anything that I can do to help?

[Prviate to Stiles]

You were awesome out there. Pretty fantastic for your first game. I hoped my good luck charm helped a little.

[Private to Nico]

Told you we'd win.

Alright, it's almost time for the first quidditch game of the season! I gotta admit that I'm pretty hyped. Gryffindor house, I'm expecting you guys to be out in force to cheer us on while we prove to Slytherin just who's the better team!

Quidditch team, I do hope you all dont think you're going to have much of a life before the game though. We're running drills and practices all week. We gotta keep up last year's streak come hell or high water!

[Private to Brin]

Ready to catch every single ball that comes towards our hoops?

[Private to Roar, Dom, and Rini]

Alright Chasers, I wanna make sure you guys are in top form. Anyone feel like they're not ready?

[Private to Jackson and Jojo]

You guys ready to beat some Slytherin asses?

[Private to self]

Damn I hope I don't fuck up.

So Halloween is officially a week away. Has everyone managed to figured out their costumes? I'm still trying to decide on mine. Does anyone have any suggestions for things? I was thinking maybe a viking?

Hey. I wanted to ask you something if you've got a minute.

I thought I was doing so well! Meru, I'm sorry, it's your sister I'm actually after! I hope you'll forgive me! Marina, please, don't be upset. It was the only way for me to get close to you!

Though it should be said, I'm grateful they said Marina. She's clearly the hottest Meru.

Hey everyone, I have a small announcement. It seems one of my experiments might have gone missing. The cage wasn't fully closed and I'm a bit worried that it decided to go exploring a bit. If anyone happens to see it, don't be afraid and just contact me. I'll come and capture it.

I'm gonna leave a picture of it here so you know what to look for.

I understand why Headmaster Emrys has cancelled classes for the next two days; it is important for people to be able to grieve and to go to the funeral. But it also makes things harder too in other ways. I need something to do - something to focus on and something to keep busy with and classes always keep my interest and my focus. I just don't know what to do with myself right now and doing nothing isn't helping anything. I have homework to do but I just don't see the point in working on it when there are no classes for another two days. And I don't know what to do instead.

(OOC note: Meru has been in his lab and thus not sleeping in his bed for the last few days. So his feather prank was trapped a few days late.)

Where in Merlin's name did all these feathers come from?? Fuck! Did I lay on a chicken??? Am I halucinating??

Type: Journal Post
Date: Sept. 10, morning

So, when I was talking about Halloween costume ideas for this year and I jokingly said I should wear a chicken suit, I didn't actually mean it. It's everywhere. And I think I'm actually more annoyed by the glue than I am by the feathers. Even if they are a bit stabby.

I won't threaten with bodily harm, but retaliation is in order.

I finally get my tablet-journal back - it has been kept in a cage so it wouldn't bite my family. I nearly lost a finger on the journal. Several fingers. Dramatic irony? I appreciate a good study as much as anyone but it does seem perhaps a little silly.

I have a penis and boobs. Clearly, I have no need for a boyfriend when I have the best of both worlds at my disposal.

And in the real world, I don't have a penis. The lack of boyfriend part is right but yeah, the reasons why are totally off the mark. Because I'm pretty sure having a dick wouldn't make me less interested in guys. Just saying.

So, anybody else get a good laugh out of that?

Beyond that, these things are pretty funny. I mean who would believe any of this shit. Someone must've been really freaking bored last night.

I don't know what this news thing is in my journal, and I can't say I've ever tried the whole whipping, tied up thing. But just to help a struggling news agency I'm willing to try anything.

Just make sure the rope is velvety. It feels nice on the skin.

Also, only ladies. Sorry guys, truly I am.

So I've been doing two things all day, or well maybe more than two. Whatever. Two main things. I've been listening to an insane amount of Epica's version of The Pirates of the Caribbean. While I do this, I've also been playing Assassin's Creed: Black Flag. The amount of bad assery involved with doing those two things at once, is quite possibly the most bad ass of all bad ass to have ever bad asseryed.

The second thing I've been doing today, is running through the halls in gym shorts and socks, after having waxed the floors to see how far I could slide, and I slid all the way to the stairs and totally jumped off, flipped through the air, and landed almost perfectly on the bottom. Actually not perfectly at all, which is why I have been sitting around playing Assassin's Creed all day.

...I need to somehow make this game better. And perhaps a place where I don't get yelled at for using so much wax...

I also bought a new shirt today. You're welcome.

Well, like so many of my fellow classmates, I made the mistake of ignoring this journal. It ate one of my favourite books of classical sheet music, so I suppose I've learned my lesson. You would think they would be able to find a way to spell them so they don't eat books. It just seems like such a waste, not to mention rather cannibalistic.

Despite my parent's wishes, Fawn and I are not going to be going to the game this weekend, however we'll likely be able to see the fireworks go up, depending on who wins. I don't follow quidditch, but I'm rather hoping it's France, simply because they're the underdog.

It's that time of year again folks. I'll be hitting Marble City via LAX next Tuesday and staying until it's time to hit up Hogwarts - which means school shopping's probably gonna happen that following Thursday so if anyone wants to meet up then let me know. I'll have better details of plans once we hit Cali.

So it seems that my journal has managed to escape the cage I placed it in. People werent lying when they said that it became sentient if not used. I wonder if I can use that for my kettle

Either way, it looks like it's almost time for the cup. Everyone ready to watch France kick everyone's ass?

Who's up for a quidditch scrimmage in the park? We'll split evenly and not even by house, though I know a number of us will have loyalties as it is. It'll be a nice way to get us all back into the game again and also playing, for once, without house points at risk. So, anyone game?

I don't know who the woman was, but she had brown hair. She fought back - disarmed one of the Deatheaters attacking her. Father. He didn't need his wand though; his hands were around her neck and then all I see are the shadows and the ravens.

I've had this dream before. I saw nothing new this time. Just the same scene, the same faces. And always the shadows.

Day two of not smoking. I've already chewed two packs of gum. Not the nicotine kind. Those taste like ass. Not that what I've been chewing tastes much better at this point. Someone remind me why I'm quitting again?

I'm going to be that guy that posts nothing on here but pictures of his dog. But it is better than knowing my most inner most thoughts right? Like you really don't need to know that I've already taken my morning poop. Or I've jacked off already.

So I seemed to really impress Molly yesterday with my kick ass flying skills or she really liked cuddling and playing with Batman. I think it was all Batman. So I got him a little something on my way home yesterday. He doesn't actually seemed to mind wearing clothes.

So I'm going to be that guy that dresses my dog up and posts pictures of him too.



Now I must go see a wizard about a potion that I need help on.

Mostly because I think I'd rather not deal with this stupid thing trying to rip up my clothes or bite me or whatever it decides to do, I've picked it up. This journal is moronic, by the by. Who gives the slightest fuck, in all honesty, what I am thinking or feeling? I guess our opinions on it don't matter much though. At least there's alcohol here, and a lot of it. Means that I can drink and fuck around with this thing for a while and keep it from annoying me for a few days.

I love journals! I'm so excited to have one to keep in contact with all of you beautiful people! I had tons of handwritten journals growing up, but these kind seem way cooler.

I hope everyone is having a super-duper-mega-awesome summer! Mine is EXCELLENT so far! I celebrated my birthday recently with my mom and dad; we went to a really delicious Chinese place and they bought me a really cool case for my guitar, some new clothes, and they gave me some extra pocket money for when I go off to school. They're so great! I LOVE them!

Oh, Oh, OH! I also have the BEST news to share with you!!!!!

I see that there are a lot of mixed feelings about the journals but I don't mind them. It IS a great way to keep in touch with everyone and reading some of the conversations going on is rather entertaining. I'm interested in seeing if the journals can be set on fire or become drunk. And if they can't, can the beast the journal turns into become drunk or burned?

I'm heading to my family's cabin that is on the edge of Marble Lake this weekend because my father is going to be home and I was wondering if anyone would be interested in joining me? The place is huge and right on the water's edge. Nico, are you going to come out?

It's a wonder with all the work we are assigned this summer that anyone has time to worry so much about the desire to date and attract the opposite (or same) gender. For the record: I am not an invalid. I can get my own drinks, I can pull out my own chairs, I can open the door all by myself, and I do not need a man to do these things for me. I am a grown and independent woman and I can handle things all on my own. I do not need some annoying Gryffindor plucking my books from me when I am more than able to handle them myself. I most especially do not need any of these things done when I am trying to enjoy a private meal and read over some of my work!

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?

Well...it appears you can take an auror out of the action but you can't take the action out of the auror. I am so beyond bored. Organised everything in my apartment, twice. Rearranged my spice cabinet in ascending and descending alphabetical order, then by country of origin. Took a scrub brush to every cranny of my bathroom. Deep cleaned my carpets. And still more than a month left to go.

Here's a thought...what's everyone's favorite cookie or cake? My gran used to make these amazing tea cakes, crunchy edges but soft middles, not too sweet, and before she'd serve up mine she always brushed them with lemon juice and sprinkled powdered sugar on top. I have the recipe but I can never quite get it right, it always feels like something is missing. I suppose my consolation is that my sister always fails even worse than I do.

I hadn't realize that summer is almost half way over until I got a letter from the school with my O.W.L. marks. I'm still amazed that I survived those two hellish weeks. I also got this neat little thing that I'm writing in. Magical Journals I think it's called. I feel like because we have to write in them that this is summer homework. Do we get graded? Is the threat that these things will turn into some kind of monster true if we don't write in them? Do I want to find out?

Anyways since I did so well on my O.W.L.s Dad has finally gave in and decided to let me get a pet. His biggest mistake in agreeing is letting me decide what I should get. He should know better by now.

Off to Quinque Alley to see what I can find!

Well I was supposed to get off of my shift at 7 but boss just came by to tell me that my relief called in sick so I'm working until three, and I "don't sleep anyway so why does it matter". I mean it's true but, the principle of the matter is what's important here. Also do you know how dead a McDo gets at 2am, even in New York? All I have to do is...I don't have anything to do, my phone is dead and I just happened to grab this thing because it was making noises at me and even Mama and her Valium couldn't sleep through that. Someone come entertain me or I will start drawing dicks.

...how long will it take me to get fired if I start drawing dicks on all of the hamburgers? Just a rough estimate?

Enjolras, my avenging angel, when you return from the heavens to grace us mortals with your presence, come rescue me from capitalist corporate hell. How many free cheeseburgers can you eat in an hour? Is it enough to get me fired? You can come watch me do something stupid afterward.
