Okay, enough with the suspense, Kitty-Kat. Who is your personal creep, and do I need to go set him on fire or what?

Today, on my way to lunch, I heard something that sounded suspiciously like someone crying. When I stopped and looked around, I found a Slytherin first year on top of one of those giant pig-head wall sconces in the entrance hall, stuck up there! The poor boy was afraid of heights, on top of everything else, and people kept coming by and laughing at him. I had to calm him down for fifteen minutes until he would let me levitate him down.

Potter. Black. I know this is your fault. Picking on first years is not funny. Don't play innocent, I know it was you. What has he ever done to you except be sorted into Slytherin? They haven't even been here long enough to annoy you, not that that would be an excuse. I'd ask you to have a little compassion, only I'm not sure you're capable, if you think that's a clever joke! If you must be horrible bullies, at least pick on someone who can put up a fight.

It's miserable outside which means that I am also miserable. Why does autumn have to be so wet? It isn't even proper rain, it's just drizzle. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad that the temperature has lowered itself so that less people are wandering around with humidity-induced beehives on their heads in place of hair, but the wet dog look is just as bad. Completely unflattering.

That being said, my time indoors is at least being put to good use. I'm formulating a serum that'll hopefully alleviate the effects of drizzy rain on perfectly styled hair. I think I almost have it. I just need to test it. So who feels like taking a little walk outside, in the name of scientific beauty?

Never fear, single Hogwartians, this is really your year! I did a tarot reading and it kept turning up chalices, and then I checked my star charts. If you're an Aries, a Gemini, a Virgo, or a Capricorn, you've got some really good things coming for you in the next month or so...so don't be afraid to dream big, okay?

Of course, if you want to make sure something good is coming for you, I would be happy to do my best to guide the hands of fate in your direction. Just let me know!

Taking points is never fun for a prefect, especially from one's own house. But that's what has to be done if people get caught out of bed after hours. There's a curfew in place for a reason. It isn't because the staff are trying to spoil your Friday night. If anything, they're trying to make sure you live for as many Friday nights as you can. I understand that you might feel the ne urge to seek out your peers and frolic around the corridors and barricade yourselves in broom clo but please, have a little common sense. I'll just wait for the 'killjoy' com

I think opting to take ten classes might have been a mistake. I tried to be practical in terms of keeping my options for the future open but the workload is even more immense than I imagined. That, on top of the homework assigned, chess club, prefect duties, and the extra reading for book club has only barely left me enough time to eat and sleep if only for three ho

I'm not entirely sure why I expected anything less than a fully packed schedule with barely a chance to breathe. I must be insa

I just finished my internship with Enchanted Excursions and it really reaffirmed my desire to work in this business. I don't think I'd want to do travel writing full time; my strong suit is more investigative journalism, but the free trip to Italy was nice, as was the opportunity to work with competent photographers for a change.
