To my fellow Housemates -- I've left candy in random areas of the Common Room. Bought it all in Hogsmeade. Help yourselves.

So much homework, ugh. Not sure how we're supposed to even find the time for all of this. I'm tired, but I've still got 2 more assignments to do.

[Private to Friends & party people who won't snitch]
Alright.

My birthday is this upcoming Sunday. Where would be the best place for a shindig to celebrate this amazing occasion?

This stupid fucking thing tried to bite me. For the record, it does not like steak but it does like socks. Only one sock from each pair though. If you are weird and/or like sales like I do and have those socks that denote which foot they go on, it's especially fond of the right sock. Consider this a PSA.

My name is James. I'm being forced to explain that apparently I'm not dead and that I used to be a student here. Then I wasn't. Now I am again. The rest doesn't concern you. If you used to know me, that's too bad, I don't remember you.

Before too many idiots try to ask me about the obvious- yes, I'm missing my goddamn arm. I only need the one to break your nose if you ask about it or offer to carry my books.

Where's the d.a.d.a classroom and who designed this place. They should be fired.

So I got completely bored tonight. I probably should have been working on my Charms homework. But I decided screw that and did this instead.

Bored Rikku is bored. I can't even bring myself to tinker around on this mini robot I've been cooking up in my head, I don't know why. I'm antsy, I need to do SOMETHING before I think rolling down the stairs is a good idea, which I currently know is definitely not. I need.. to go for a run. Who wants to go for a run?

Edited: Keara and I are going for a run!

It looks like my parents are leaving their current place of fun and excitement this month and decided that it was time to send a care package. This time it looks like they were in Japan again. So there was lots of origami paper A few books and a couple of gifts. Most notably was this.


I'm not sure how they managed to find a traditional haori in badger yellow, but I think it might be my favorite gift so far. So you'll be seeing me around and wearing it often.

Happy birthday to me! Who's up for some awesome partying at the gryffindor common room later today? Think I can ditch classes for awhile?

[Private to Luke.]

Think you might have a chance to give the birthday girl a birthday kiss?

Ooooh! Who is excited for Hogsmeade weekend?! I know I am! I loooove going shopping and looking at everything new.

Anyone want to do a lunch shindig while we're out there?

GUYS, GUYS, GUYS. Who wants to figure out how to get to the top of the castle, and build a giant water slide that drops straight into a giant pool? I think we can do this. We need good charmers, fliers, and engineers. It's fucking hot, and there has not been nearly enough skin shown these first few weeks in a public forum.

While I've been enjoying the peace and quiet lately, it's been long enough. If you took Bob, turn him in and I'll consider not giving you detention in addition to deducting points from your house. I need him for something

Before this thing bites me, which it apparently wants to do, I figured I'd be proactive.

How is being back at school treating everyone? I know I'm loving the freedom I have here and I know that sounds like an oxymoron, but it's the truth. Daddy can't get too caught up in his lab and he has a TA to pester him to eat and sleep so it doesn't fall solely on me. LOVE YOU DADDY!

I’m going to kill them. I’ll kill them, bring them back to life, and then kill them again. Ugh! My parents are from the stone age!

Who in the right mind sets up an arrange marriage for their only daughter?! Who!? I’ll tell you who. My parents.

Neither of my older brothers got one but of course since I’m a girl I can’t pick out the person I want to spend the rest of my life with. They can shove their double standards up their asses! I’m only sixteen! I shouldn’t be thinking about marriage. Hell! I haven’t even decided what I want to be when I graduate but now I know who my husband is going to be.

I’m going to kill someone.

WHAT IN THE ACTUAL FUCK. Oh my god, our room now looks like pigeons popped some molly, then proceeded to have a dance party all over the fucking place.

I'm literally covered in every feather there ever has been.

It's like a pillow fight happened, except it wasn't sexy, it wasn't in underwear, and there were NO women involved. Just massacring precious sleeping instruments, and disrupting my me time.

All because Jackson had to pick now to have his most recent mental breakdown.

Well, it looks like it's time for Da's annual blue care package from home. It's kind of fun to see what he manages to get me each year. This year we're looking at some nail polish remover, blue skittles. some chap stick, lots of candy, a loofah, some muggle pens, and condoms??? some other items that I'm not going to need.

I have forgot to post this picture for ages. I GOT A KITTY FOR MY BIRTHDAY!


This is Aslan and he was given to me by someone very special. He seems to think that attack my papers while I am working is fun. But I love him to bits! He has not seen the rest of the castle yet as I am afraid he is going to get hurt or lost.

Steve, I am sure you have seen him around the dorm, please do not let him out of the door.

I'm off the crutches! Sure I have an ankle brace and I have to ice when I walk to much but I'm off the damn crutches! It's a glorious day. I think I need to send the nurse a thank you basket.

Batman is settling into his new home. He has become the star of the Slytherin common room. He gets completely spoiled when he is out there. Lots of belly rubs, scratches, and playing. Which means he is completely done by the time I go to bed and he sleeps throughout the night. It is really nice.

Keara and Nico: we need to get together. No, not for sex. You know the rule. But we need to hang out and pretend that we are actually best friends.

It is so nice to be able to use my magic again and come Christmas time I will be able to use it whenever I want. I can't wait. It is good to be back at Hogwarts. It feels like coming home. It feels so good to be away from my father. I have less classes than I did last year but each class has a lot more homework.

[Private to Nico]
How is your face doing? Do I need to come down there and patch you up? I can't believe you got into a fight with father before we left because of me. I want to hug you and strangle you at the same time.

[Private to Derek]
My two little ones are doing a lot better. They are becoming more active though they still pass out after eating. Have you talked to the Headmaster about letting us keep them? I want to name them but I will hold of just encase we can't.

Good morning students. I haven't had the privilege of 'teaching' all of you yet but that will quickly be fixed this coming week.

Thanks to Headmaster Emrys and Professor Wallace I'm being allowed to teach anyone who is interested in archery and stick fighting. Archery will start on Mondays, after classes, and stick fighting will take place on Thursdays after class. If you don't know if you're interested or not please ask questions or come to a class or two to see what it's about.



This is only a glimpse of what stick fighting looks like. I have a whole box of tapes of work outs and practice 'fights' not that we have anything at Hogwarts that is able to play them. Beginners will start of a lot slower than what is happening in this clip.

How's everyone doing? I hope settling back in the past few days has gone well. I'm really happy to see you all again and be back in my dorm, but it's SO strange coming back and knowing that this will be my very last year. How do you just move on from something that's been apart of your life for so long? How am I supposed to do that? Especially since I still have NO IDEA what I'm doing after graduation. Hmph. I guess I don't have to worry just yet. but I probably will anyway

Alright Gryffindor, I've been nice and gave you all a few days of quidditch free fun. But that's all you're getting. This Sunday will be tryouts followed by a practice. Everyone will be expected to do their best, including current members. Because if someone is better, then they're gonna get your spot. I'm making sure that we're going to get take the quidditch cup again this year and continue with the awesome leadership that Misha gave us... only better since it'll be me. I'll see you there.
