[Sun Mar 28, 2010 at 2:05pm] [ mood | distressed ] ( Hexed Private ) What happened to the owlry? It looks like a bomb hit it. Jupiter wouldn't come to me as I was calling for him. He was all shaken up. There were owls everywhere. It was completely heartbreaking. How horrible. I just don't understand why these things keep happening. 19 : comment

[Tue Mar 02, 2010 at 11:17pm] [ mood | good ] ( Hexed Private ) ( Hexed to Edgar Bones ) I'll miss the carnival when it's gone, it was a lot of fun. 2 : comment

[Fri Feb 19, 2010 at 6:17pm] [ mood | cheerful ] I'm really enjoying the carnival, and even thought NEWTS study group meets Friday nights, I think we should take the night off. We can pick up where we left off next week, I just think we all deserve a little fun after the last few weeks. I love the rides, they're the best part really. I want to go to one of the muggle amusement parks someday and ride their giant roller coasters. I love those, but I hate flying, Doesn't make much sense really. And my condolences to Gryffindor, I think we played great anyways. One little setback, we'll still get the cup! 2 : comment

[Wed Feb 10, 2010 at 10:04pm] [ mood | apathetic ] I'm feeling much better, glad to be out of the hospital wing. I thought I would just stay out of sight for a bit, I didn't want my brother to worry too much. It's just nice to be able to really write again. I'm going to take a break from NEWTS study group this week, I have my own work to catch up on, and just need a breather. I'll be back next week guys, and I'll have notes for everyone. 2 : comment

[Wed Jan 20, 2010 at 8:56pm] [ mood | stressed ] Study group members, how does Friday night sound to meet? I was thinking we can brush up on some basics, and then work out a more permanent schedule. My father has given me enough copies for each of our potions group members to have their own to study from. That could be really helpful. Only a few more months til NEWTS and I'm all ready getting stressed out. I'm going to need a calming draught, just like before OWLS. 6 : comment

[Thu Jan 07, 2010 at 10:34am] [ mood | busy ] I'm rather ready to go home and see my parents, I was thinking of staying here over the hols, get some work done, but I think it would be best for Matthew and I to have some time with our parents. Just need a little break from Hogwarts really to be honest. When we come back from break though, NEWTS study group should meet up, and see where we're all at preparation wise. I think I'm all right in everything, with Potions giving me the slightest bit of trouble. My father owns an apothecary, and I'll see if he'll part with any of the useful books. From my summer clerking there, I think I remember seeing a good book that breaks down NEWTS level potions, it would be most helpful for the group. I'll see what I can do of course.

[Wed Dec 23, 2009 at 11:29pm] [ mood | exhausted ] ( Hexed Private ) The ball was really nice, and I had a wonderful time. Edgar was a perfect gentleman, and the flowers were lovely. 4 : comment

[Wed Dec 02, 2009 at 9:20pm] [ mood | cheerful ] I for one, and seem to be in the minority here, am rather looking forward to the holiday season. My mum is a good cook, and she makes a lovely Christmas lunch. Our relatives all get together, and it's always nice to be surrounded by family. My mother has the best taste, and she knows exactly what I want, before I do. She got me a new riding outfit last year, I thought that was very on point of her. I love helping her make all the preparations, we make some decorations for our tree. All the baking, and the decorating. How can you not love the holidays? The ball is going to be nice, seeing everyone dressed up in their best, and masks, that seems like it could make for an interesting night. 6 : comment

[Sat Oct 24, 2009 at 2:02pm] [ mood | contemplative ] Private to Edgar Would you like to study for Charms together on Monday night? It might be nice to put our heads together and see what we can come up with. /Edgar Do you think we're going to be able to go on the Halloween Hogsmeade trip? I was just wondering since Quidditch was canceled and all. Not complaining or anything, it just might be rather nice to have some time out of the castle and all. And to the people interested in the NEWTS study group, I'm starting to make a schedule, so I'll try and post it in all the commons rooms this week. 4 : comment

[Tue Oct 13, 2009 at 9:19pm] [ mood | Horrified ] How can there be so much evil in this world? I just can't even comprehend it. 4 : comment

[Sun Sep 27, 2009 at 2:04pm] [ mood | restless ] The month is going by so fast, the weather is getting really cool, and overcast. I've been pulling out all my jumpers, and my thicker stockings. I'll be owling my mother back my warm weather clothes, in exchange for the rest of my winter things. Not that I haven't been writing to her quite frequently. I'm up to writing weekly letters. She's concerned about how Matthew is doing with everything that's been going on. ( Hexed to Alice and Molly ) I'm working out a study group schedule for NEWTS, any seventh year that would be interested in dividing up the subjects, and maybe we could all take one to lead? Leave your nights that you're free and I can get something together. I could lead History of Magic or Arthimancy. E. Vance 16 : comment

004 [Tue Sep 08, 2009 at 10:13pm] [ mood | frustrated ] It's rather nice to see the sun for a bit isn't it? I do wish it was a bit warmer though, I all ready miss the summer weather. My charms essay is rather brutal, would anyone be interested in maybe forming a NEWTS level charms study group? It might be nice to be able to get our classmates insight into things. It's almost completely finished, but I'm having a bit of trouble summing it up. I think I might just need some fresh eyes on it. 8 : comment

003 [Tue Aug 25, 2009 at 9:58pm] [ mood | shocked ] I don't tend to take a sharp tone with most things, but this is absolutely ridiculous. Our own classmates, bleeding. This has gone too far. I can't even fathom why someone would do this. ( Hexed Private to Friends ) 4 : comment

07 September 1976 [Thu Aug 06, 2009 at 2:21pm] [ mood | nauseated ] It really saddens me to hear that someone would hurt a younger student like that. I have sent my best to Jackie in the hospital wing, I think all the prefects should do so. It's just horrid, who would want to hurt a sweet, younger year like that? Anyways, I think we should all watch what we say about each other, and the gossip we're spreading. You just never know whose feelings you're going to hurt. It's a bit cooler out today, it seems autumn is finally coming. I was actually really enjoying the warm weather. Gave us a touch summer. Not everything can last it seems. E. Vance 21 : comment

05 September 1976 [Sat Aug 01, 2009 at 3:56pm] [ mood | anxious ] It's really rather nice to have a touch of summer while you're still in school. If I were home at this moment, I would probably be taking Vanilla, my horse, on a nice ride around our property, or maybe going for a swim, in the lake we have at the edge of my grandparents' property, just a mile away. My parents would be cooking outdoors, my dad is fascinated by this muggle cooking device. It's called a grill, and you burn charcoal and it heats up the racks and you cook things on them. My grandparents just got one, and they've been using it almost everything of the past summer. It's rather clever, and everything tastes slightly smoky. I think it's so strange and slightly wonderful. I think I might be alone in saying this, but I really love the hot weather. I do enjoy the cool as well. I miss my jumpers when it's warm, but there is something about the summer weather that makes you feel like maybe school isn't really quite here just yet. Or maybe that's just me. I've been doing my studying by the lake, or skipping stones. I took a little lunch down there today, and ended up letting the cutest rabbit nibble on half of it. I don't mind sharing my carrot sticks with overly cute little bunnies. Not one bit. I'm going to go out there tomorrow and hope he's around again. My parents are all ready asking about NEWTS, and to be honest, I've all ready started cataloging my notes, and getting my things in order for them. There is only one zoology healing training course in the entire UK, and it's extremely difficult to get into. I need to make the most of this year's marks, and of my NEWTS scores if I can expect a spot. It's so incredibly nerve wracking, and studying has been a challenge when all I can think of is failure. But, I'm determined to make it through, and have a spot in that facility. It's so warm in Gryffindor tower, and I have so much work to get through, I think I might have to make a library night. At least it's both cool and quiet in there. E.Vance 14 : comment
