So ...

... Dad's got the map back. Pretty sure mum was behind it. 'parently they officially announced Tom's coming to school for certain, this weekend, I guess.

He's back. The Dark Lord. I... I'm not going to tell you how I know, though I expect it's obvious I just thought you should know.

I don't know when he got back, but you guys have that map, right? You can check it? If patterns continue as they were, and the stories are right, he's somewhere in the school, and someone should bloody well do something about it before this gets serious. Who knows if the teachers even know yet.

I don't think I've ever been this scared. Even when they first brought me in, and I had to spy all the way through my seventh year, I don't think it was this bad. I've heard about what I did, and I don't think I regret it, even if I haven't done it yet, and he's going to know and... I don't know where I stand anymore. And it's not like I've exactly made any sort of effort to make friends around here.

So... whatever.

First, Moony. I know. You know I know. So you should just tell me.

Second, both of you.

I thought Gryffindor needed to have this new generation produce a champion. So I didn't enter. Dunno if I was even allowed.

BUT.

As we all know, Gryffindor failed.

Miserably.

So it's out job to mess with all the champions.

Am I right, or am I brilliant? Ideas? Suggestions? Thoughts?

Right then.

So I've been doing a lot of catching up on the last 40 years (during which I've been dead, for those not following along) and it's come to my attention that I must have really good genes or something, given that it was my spawn that went and became The Chosen One who defeated the Darkest Dark Lord of the century.

Now. I don't know about the rest of you, but the writing's pretty clear to me about how to proceed from here. Obviously, I need to spawn further.

Not right now, obviously, given that I still have classes and endless catching up, but perhaps soon. I don't know - technically I wasn't there the first time I spawned as Lily was so kind to point out to me so I'm not really certain how to proceed. I'm welcome to thoughts and opinions on the matter.

Also - remember: despite what you may hear, Sirius Black did not spawn a Chosen One. Let's back the winning horse here, students.

Oh yuck. Did you guys see that article in the Prophet last night? About the presumed werewolf attacks? Poor dad, having to deal with all that.

On a more cheerful note, who's excited for school? Isn't that kind of sick to say, excited for school? But I've only got one more year of potions to go before I can drop it. Dunno why Lily's taking it voluntarily. Yugh. She told me to behave in the class, if you can even imagine.

Going out for quidditch this year. Since Jamie's not there, we have to have a Potter on the team, right?

I STILL HAVE IT, SIRIUS BLACK, AND I'M NOT GIVING IT BACK EITHER. YOU KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT. EVEN IF YOU GET YOUR MATES TO GANG UP ON ME, I'VE STILL GOT IT.
