[Hexed against DE's & DE Sympathizers]

I already mentioned this on Narissa's post, but if anyone is interested in learning how to defend themselves and how to perform basic healing spells, pleased let me know. Once we're back to school, I'll find a place that we can practice that's safe and that will have what we need.

We need to be prepared for anything and maybe it sounds paranoid, but I don't think that paranoid is exactly a bad place to be right now. If the Ministry goes down, the school can go down. I'm willing to take suggestions on anything we can work with. Clearly muggle tech is out. But if anyone can think of anything...

Then I guess we need a way of communicating that is neither suspicious nor let's anyone outside of us know what is going on. I guess we can use these, but we may want to find something else. Just in case.

I know we're all afraid, but we need to stick together and work together. We're not going to attack other students because we're afraid of each other...and I mean physically. I doubt I could stop verbal warring if I wanted to, but at least physically and with magic, don't attack each other. We just need to be able to defend ourselves in case of anything that happens. I'll do anything I can to make sure you're prepared for what happens...even if nothing happens, at least we're ready. As your Head Girl, I feel it is my duty to do what I can.

Dad still hasn't woken up. The healers don't say much other than there's no change. It isn't comforting. I'm not even sure if I've really slept these past few days. Everything is just mashed together.

Kazuko was born. We all cling to her, for comfort and brief moments of happiness. Such a tiny thing that does so much.

I don't know if I'll be coming back to school right away. It's all up in the air...Everything is just so uncertain

My heart goes out to all the families the recent attack has affected. I hope everyone that was injured recovers and I'm sorry to the people who has lost someone.

It's brave of the people though highly suspicious because they were chosen so fast and most of them are from pureblood families to step into the positions that were suddenly empty. They have put targets on their backs if another attack happens. Let's hope another one doesn't happen.

My Christmas has been rather uneventful which I'm grateful for. We do have a full house this year which is awesome and it was Batman's first Christmas.

I'm not the only one who sees the hypocrisy going on, right? I mean, giant posts hating on people who they say are hating on people. You can take a stand without being an asshat and stomping on other people's family.

My uncle is one of those people you're lumping in with all these accusations. My uncle who adopted a half-blood and kept my family's nose clean. Sorry that being rich somehow makes him evil. There are other things he's done that are way worse and you have no idea.

Bravo, people. Bravo.

So apparently all this effort in staying out of trouble and hoping things would go better was a fucking joke, but you can't say I didn't try.  I'm done with keeping my head down and acting like everything is okay for the sake of obedience.  It's clear certain individuals and their families have a specific interest in what has happened, and fuck you if you don't think I'm not calling y'all out on it.  Fuck you for expecting us to overlook the tragedies and threats to spare your shitty fucking privileged feelings.  Boo hoo people are upset that your relatives are racists and are now in power.  Fucking bite me. 

You want my congratulations?  Here it is.  You purebloods can keep you goddamn shitty ass society, I want no part in this mess.  Y'all have a delightful new year, see you never, because if you think I'm returning to the school come January you're fucking mistaken.  I'm going to go live on a mountain top where I never have to see you assholes again.  Peace on earth and all that bullshit.

Oh, and thanks for the sweater, Gracie.

I'm a little annoyed that my comment was twisted so far off course. I did not say a single word about certain pureblood families, nor their new positions in the Ministry until someone used it as a means to elevate themselves above me. Jack doesn't do well with that. I'm not sorry. I only meant that it is insensitive to offer condolence to those who lost lives and then congratulations for those who took their places right after in the same post. Have some compassion. Find your couth, and if you can't I know at least one lovely person that could help you in that department.

[Private to Sera]
Is it ok I volunteered you, right? JUST KIDDING. But seriously, you are like the classiest, nicest - proper pureblood ever. They could learn a thing or two from you. I hope this doesn't affect our lessons. Because I would hate to think that.

[Private to Bucky/Roarke]
Thank you for understanding where I was coming from. I know we don't talk much, but I would love to start. When things settle, butterbeer and a guys night is in order.

It is different seeing the coverage of the news in America from London. Their papers focus on different details than the USA Today and other American News agencies do.

Condolences to everyone who lost family.

Congratulations to everyone whose family have new, prominent roles in the Ministry in this time of violence and transition.

Sissy, are you okay there alone? We are supposed to be in London until the weekend - for New Year's Eve and Day - but Jackson's audition is tomorrow morning , so I could be home by dinner if you wanted.

Let me say on the record that what the Scribbler said is true...

I would not crawl that far down on the social ladder for romantic prospects. I mean look at me as if scraping the bottom of the barrel would be necessary.

That being said if anyone repeats the false rumors about Skye, Bucky and Rogers around me I will be most displeased.

Private to KDT

Well this is a terrible beginning to the week if I do say so. Apparently Bucky is a drug addict, Skye is after Bucky's retriever puff and said Puff is abusing our Bucky. Learning new things every day apparently.

If I was prone to violence I would be so inclined to indulge now. For the record, I do not believe anything about the both of you. I know drug addicts when I see them, Bucky is not one, Skye is too busy squealing over Steve and Bucky to make any sort of romantic overtures and Steve Rogers is not capable of abusing anyone.

You'd tell me if you felt that way.  Right?

Before I go I'm going to hide glitter everywhere so you guys don't have to worry about not having enough sparkle in your life. It'll be okay. Reiji, you'll have to take over for me.

[Private to Bucky]

I know that the Scribbler is dumb but some of the rumors seem kind of true this time around and also I just like to check on you and make sure you're okay. Especially after we teased you the other day. So. Are you okay?

[Private to Steve]

I'm gonna try and find Whoever keeps writing these mean things and then I'm gonna punch them but I'm gonna need someone to make sure that they don't punch me back because I don't want to have my face broken.

Two days and it still hasn't been fixed. Still no magic. It wouldn't be so bad really but I can't change anymore. Magic with a wand I've learned over the years. But my morphing ability I've had since birth. It's part of who I am. To lose it is like losing a limb in a way (No offense Bucky). I'm just ready for this stupid mishap to be over.

This has been a very strange day. I did not realize how much I used magic until this happened. Nor how weird magic classes would be sans magic. In fact, I kind of miss magic. Not that I can't muggle my way out of any crazy shenanigans situation, but that's supposed to be outside of school.

I thank this world that I am adorable enough to survive and also I'm building a snowman tomorrow. So if anyone's with me, you should totally make yourself known.

Well, students, I'm not entirely sure what's going on but let's not see this as a loss of magical ability but a gain of an opportunity! It's so rare for us as magic users, especially those of us that live in the magical world full time, to get an opportunity to experience the non-magical side of things. Relish this chance to learn something new about this world that we live in!

My class will be unaffected and will go on, as planned, for all levels. An integral part of defending against the Dark Arts is knowing how to defend. Please wear comfortable clothes you can move around in, and if you have any medical conditions that would prevent you from some light exercise, or previous injuries that might be aggravated by moving around, please let me know.

What happened, who did it, when is it going to be fixed, and how are we handling it in the meantime. I had to make tea the old fashioned way this morning and I am not amused.

Well we're going into November and it's almost the end of the semester. How had this year gone by so fast? It's kind of hard to believe! I'm starting to think that I don't want the school year to end. Though Quidditch is starting this weekend and I want to tell both teams good luck. I'm sure it'll be an amazing game to watch!

Lab work has been interesting though. I have a few good experiments that I'm working hard on.


[ Violet]

Don't worry, I haven't forgotten my promise. I'm close to making a breakthrough. I might need something to test it out. No chance you can get a television, could you?

If anyone was upset, injured, or otherwise negatively impacted by the alcohol in the drinks at the Halloween party, feel free to blame me.  We all make choices we regret, but the important thing is taking responsibility over them. 

Unfortunately those consequences involve listening to Stark talk about how much money he has.  He truly is the people's hero.

I got goodies in the mail! My grandparents have come here from Tokyo to visit my brothers and sister in law and plan on staying until my little niece or nephew is born. She's not due until next month but Baba says this gives her a chance to help Catherine get everything ready. And they don't come to America often so when they stay it's for a little while. They'll be here until after the new year so I'll get to see them for winter break.

So this morning I get a huge box filled to the brim with all sorts of treats and junk food from them. This one may take me a while to finish...

I woke up too early. I am dying. If I don't consume my weight in coffee soon, my life is going to be over.

Don't cry for me, Argentina.

For the record, Gif and I are on uncertain ground because waking me up by trying to eat my hair at five in the morning is cruel and unusual punishment.

Bucky, whenever you read this...I'm going to need piggyback rides to class. Please and thank you. Dad sent oreos. They will be your payment.

Edit: Bucky has betrayed me in a manner most foul. If anyone else is willing to give an adorable person piggyback rides because she is tired and also maybe crying, I am no longer giving Bucky my oreos because he, like Brutus did with Caesar, has betrayed me.

Edit 2.0: Our betrayal has been settled. I'm very sorry to my roommates for having fallen out of bed and laughing too loud...at this time of the morning. Steve...please report and tell me if it's true that Bucky has no idea what Donkey Kong is. R...hold me, I'm crying. First they misquote 'It's on like Donkey Kong' and then Bucky called it King Donkey. Jury is still out on whether my tears are from laughter or sadness. My sides hurt. SEND HELP!

Maybe I should have stayed home this year after all. I have grown rather fond of this country but I do not think these troubles will reach the estate in Osaka, just like they did not before. But I do not want to give my parents the satisfaction of fleeing home just yet.

I suppose this also means Hogsmeade will be canceled again? Danger or not, I am far too cute to be caged up here. If I am staying I might as well live in the process.

So, did not one of you think of the possible consequences of at least half a dozen fools spiking the various drinks at the party? Did it somehow escape you that people could have gotten sick? We have a hemophiliac on staff and the last thing he needs is blood thinning. Not to mention that anyone recovering from addiction would've been royally fucked by your stupidity.

But carry on your normal lives. Just pray I don't find out names other than the two I have or you'll regret it until you graduate.

It is the privilege of men to be wanted and prized for what they can do, create, achieve. Women, through time, are prized for being pretty, petite, pliable, and submissive. We are recognized not for who we are, how smart we are, how powerful we are, but for what designers we wear and who we have married. It is enough to make me wonder sometimes how I, and those around me, will fit in the world where intelligent and capable women are so often put down, negated, spoken over and ignored. The top of the chain is white, male, heterosexual and cisgender. Where is the place for the rest of us, and when will intelligence be enough?

In the same vein, when will it be okay for males to be weak? Why can they not show real emotion without being labeled and ignored? Why can we just not all find an accord?


Sexy Halloween costumes just continue this oppression - seeking attention for our bodies and not our minds. I hope some outside of me will seek out more unique and interesting themes than sexy animals and such. We are so much more.
