a box of rain will ease the pain

I tried to start reading that book about Headmaster Dumbledore although I guess he's not Headmaster Dumbledore anymore. But then I stopped because it's so long and intimitating intimidating! Couldn't Rita Skeeter just write a list of facts about him or something? The title is kind of mean too because it implies that he's a liar. You're not supposed to say things like that about dead people!

I'm really getting tired of all this homework! Luckily I'm not taking Ancient Runes anymore, though!! It was so boring and it made no sense. Maybe it makes sense to Ravenclaws and other really smart people but I didn't get it. And I know I didn't have to take it in the first place but Mummy really wanted me to because it was her favourite subject and now I have an excuse for dropping it.

Last but not least congratulations to everyone who made the Hufflepuff and Slytherin teams and good luck to those trying out for the Gryffindor and Ravenclaw teams! I look forward to playing with all of you!! Don't be discouraged if you didn't make a team. I'm sure you are still a very good player!

Hello! This year is kind of weird with everything being so different and Kirsten not being here but that's okay because change can be good and I'm sure Kirsten is fine! People are really upset because some of the prefects were changed and even though I feel bad for those that lost their badges, I think people should consider that maybe they wanted to give other people a chance to be prefect! I mean, I don't really want to be a prefect but a lot of people do and with the changes more people will have their time to shine!

I don't think the Carrows like me very much and Headmaster Snape never really has but I guess it's okay. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion!
