In the sense that I've been an adult for a year now but still!! Leaving Hogwarts is a huge step.

I'd like to say a couple things. First, I have the best mates in the world. They made me a cake for my birthday, and it was really nice. Then Justin made me this awesome thing on his computer. Then I had some tender comfort sex. So I had a good few birthday days. My brother's going to work with me all summer on tips for becoming an Unspeakable since I can't really enter into training until we get to take our N.E.W.T.s. I want to be one more than ever now.

I'm really sorry for Professor Dumbledore. Being trapped in your own pensieve is horrible. Sean said there's a chance he might go insane and I think that's an awful thing to happen to Professor Dumbledore.

I really liked Professor Lupin. He was cool, man, you know? I didn't know him that well or anything, but it must have sucked being a werewolf. In our werewolf lessons last year he told us being immortal was sad and I don't think I'd want to be immortal. But I don't think he'd want to die, either, so I'm sorry that he did.

Lisa was wicked. Although I didn't really get her. She was cool though.

I didn't know Pansy Parkinson at all, but she shouldn't have died either.

Mostly I'm just sorry for Susan's dad. He's been missing for ages, you know, and I reckon everyone thought he was dead but Susan's family hoped he was just missing. It's rotten that she has to find out about it now. I'm sorry, Susan. You know I love you, man.

I have to go to the Ministry to see if I can identify the Head Boy. I don't really want to. I don't want to know if some kid who was sending us all notes murdered Lisa Turpin. I just don't want to know that sort of thing. He was always there and we never saw him but he knew everything we were doing. I don't want to know if that person murdered the Head Girl. But I have to do it and it would be disrespecting Lisa if I didn't.

And I reckon it's okay to tell everyone this now. It's sort of a secret, so don't laugh about it. Hermione Granger and I are dating, all right? No need to make a big deal about it, she's just wicked cool. And that's all I've got to say about that.

Tomorrow's my birthday and I'll be eighteen. My brother Sean will be here for it so that'll be cool.

I haven't really been up much. I stayed in hospital for a bit on Wednesday night and Thursday morning and then I left and then Professor Sprout made me go back again. Mostly I've just been lying around. Today was the first time I ate, but I wasn't really hungry.

I talked to Harry Potter a bit yesterday. I wanted to talk to Weasley but he wasn't around, so I thought I'd talk to Potter. I don't think he really wanted to talk, though. I reckon when You-Know-Who put the Killing Curse on him something happened with their wands because Potter did it at the same time, when they were in that gold thing. I don't know why someone's wand would do that.

It looks like there's a spy at the Ministry. I hate this world sometimes, man.

I just wanted to say that I'm alive and I love you. I sent an owl but I don't know how fast it will get there, and you might check this. Sean's here and he's fine too.

I'M GOING TO GET A D IN POTIONS AND GET 2 N.E.W.T.S AND END UP A BUM IN DIAGON ALLEY AND THEN I'LL GET OLD AND FAT.

I'M SERIOUSLY CRACKING UP MAN, WE HAD A PRACTISE EXAM IN POTIONS AND I GOT A P, A BLOODY P, I WAS DOING FINE IN POTIONS AND THEN I CRACKED UNDER THE PRESSURE AND GOT A P!!!!!!

Speaking of P, I got a P on my journal! What's this? Does this count towards anything?! Is it going to lower my N.E.W.T.s??? Just because I don't post important, personal information for everyone to see doesn't mean I deserve a P! I think I'm going to have a word about this, I'm not going to take a P lying down. Though at least I didn't get a D, my mum would have killed me. Still! P!

N.E.W.T.s start Monday, I've got a written Astronomy exam first thing. Also, WHY DO WE HAVE TO TURN IN OUR WANDS FOR INSPECTION, DO THEY REALLY NOT TRUST US? JUST BECAUSE SOME KIDS CHEATED WHY DO THE REST OF US HAVE TO SUFFER? Honestly! I'm not going to cheat! Who wants to earn their N.E.W.T.s by cheating anyway, wouldn't you feel like a fake for the rest of your life?

I heard some people don't know what they're doing after Hogwarts, that sounds really scary! I'm going to be an Unspeakable and it's bloody wicked but I can't tell you anything else about it, so stop asking! I've to train forever and a half but it will be worth it! And then I'll work with my brother which is also cool as hell!

I don't know what I think of Potter taking Hermione as his date to a wedding, but I don't think I like it. What's he trying to say? He doesn't even like girls. What an arse.

Current Mood: annoyed

I heard some people talking today, and what is with people thinking the g-spot is a myth, man? Why would there be a mythical body spot? What's with that? Why does everyone say it is so hard to find????

Current Mood: confused

I'M THE ONLY PERSON WHO ACTUALLY WATCHED THE RIGHT QUIDDITCH MATCH.

What the hell, people? Everyone sucks, that's how Quidditch is when it's at its best! Live with it!

So the match started off well enough. MacDonald scored about two minutes in, then Ginny Weasley twice after that and Gryffindor was off 30-0. Landgreen and Clarence scored at the same time, 40-10, it was pretty quick and confusing BUT they were both clean scores. No cheating at all. Gryffindor, three more times, thought Potter spotted the Snitch but it was probably Malfoy's hair. Pritchard scored under Weasley's ankle, 70-20.

Kirke and Gross went to hit the same Bludger at each other, Sinistra tried to call a foul and they both slammed her. She and her broom went flying and then a grey streak went out of the sky and there was a skunk riding a broom! It would have been bloody funny if not for the fact that the skunk couldn't control the broom and she hit the ground. She's in hospital now, you great arses. Honestly, she's just the referee. Anyway there was some confusion down on the pitch then to see who'd go in, and this is when it started getting really treacherous up in the sky. Bysmal scored, Ginny Weasley scored, Pritchard shouted EXPELLIARMUS and got the Quaffle from Ginny Weasley. Ginny Weasley got it right back the same way, and then there was a big mess of the two of them doing it.

Clarence made off with the Quaffle, stuck a Jelly-Legs Jinx on Kirke, Slytherin scored a cool four times in a row! Come on, Weasley, don't get caught up worrying about your sister in the middle of a Quidditch match. Landgreen got another score in, but Slytherin followed up with another four while Weasley was trying to get the water out of his eyes from Pritchard's spell. Slytherin 120, Gryffindor 110.

Then Malfoy used A SUMMONING CHARM to get the Snitch. Potter was almost at it and Malfoy stole it out from under him in a really underhanded way, it was awesome. Madam Hooch finally went in then and put the Snitch back in the game, MacDonald scored off a penalty, and then BEN HERDER Stupefied Hooch. Herder was a little Stupefy happy, no? I mean, she'd just awarded a penalty to Gryffindor, what the hell?

I suppose Daisy Clarence thought that was pretty good, since she SET LANDGREEN'S BROOM TAIL ON FIRE. It was really quite scary for a moment there because it set his robes on fire but he got it out and flew around on it for the rest of the match. Which was kind of dumb, I mean, why didn't he call a time and exchange brooms? Quidditch captains.

Landgreen scored twice, Gryffindor 130, Slytherin 120. Ginny Weasley scored again, and around this time Haydt started putting Full Body Binds on the Gryffindor Chasers, which was a stroke of underhanded genius. If you're going to play dirty, at least be clever about it. Which Herder also demonstrated by putting a Conjunctivitis Curse on Bysmal.

Landgreen had to fix Ginny Weasley, and meanwhile MacDonald scored twice. Gryffindor 160, Slytherin 120. Landgreen scored again, Haydt put a Full Body Bind on him.

Bysmal cleared up her Conjunctivitis Curse enough for the Slytherin Chasers to go in a Hawkshead Attacking Formation, Slytherin scored twice. 170-140.

Herder, again showing tremendous pluck, put a Hurling Hex on Pritchard's broom, and off he went. Slytherin was then short a Chaser, and I suppose Malfoy thought that was unjust, so he did that Avis thingy at Potter, which was really wicked! Little white birds all over the place, I thought Potter was going to fall off his broom when they started batting at him. Bulstrode smacked Kirke across the face with her bat and a tooth went flying, and I reckon the birds caught on, cos they took a nose dive into the ground. Poor birds!

Landgreen scored again, 180-140, and then Bysmal just started PUMMELING the Quaffle at Weasley and Slytherin scored four times within, like, ten minutes! It was awesome and not only that but it brought the score up to 180-180! INTENSITY IN TEN CITIES! Clarence stole the Quaffle from MacDonald, 190-180, Slytherin, Bysmal got it after, 200-180. Landgreen ashed his way over and passed it onto Ginny Weasley, who was playing pretty fierce, 200-200! You could feel the tension in the air!

Bysmal and Clarence scored three times in succession, right after Bulstrode hurled an Impediment Jinx at Weasley. Things were looking pretty rough for Gryffindor, so Herder decided to Stupefy the Slytherin Keeper. That left the scoring area open for Gryffindor to score TEN TIMES in a row, taking the score up to 300-230, Gryffindor. Bulstrode smashed Herder's arm with a Bludger, but the MAN IS A MACHINE, he just kept going! GO HERDER! Bysmal scored again and Herder turned around and put a Full Body Bind on HER!

Slytherin scoring area still open by now, Gryffindor scoring five times in a row. Ginny Weasley and Landgreen seemed to be having a good time of it, I've got to say.

Potter either went for a Wronski Feint or spotted the actual Snitch, who can tell, but Bulstrode put another Impediment Jinx on him, right under the Gryffindor scoring area. Ron Weasley must've been mad because he JUMPED ONTO HER BROOM. He was hanging off the tail!!! Of course the broom tipped and there was some tussling and out they went. Stupid if you ask me, Gryffindor had a huge advantage with Haydt taken out, and Weasley sacrificed himself so both Keepers were gone.

Gryffindor kept scoring and the Slytherin Chasers swept in, it was totally disgraceful by this point, hardly resembling a regulated Quidditch match at all! No Keepers, Chasers just throwing into the hoops over and over, unbelievable!!! IT WAS THE MOST EXCITING MATCH OF MY LIFE. Finally it was 410-310, Gryffindor, but then! Malfoy started doing a nose dive into the pitch and he was going so straight I thought it was suicide but no! He spotted the Snitch! And poor Potter, trying to make his way across the pitch too late! Slytherin won, 460-410!! It was all over.

But seriously it was such a wrong game! Everyone was USING THEIR WANDS all over the place, the biggest foul of all! They're right to call a rematch! Minnie and the others had to do some discussing and I think they made the right decision.

Anyway I get to do another commentary! Next Saturday! I'M WEARING A CAULDRON HELMET. Hermione seemed pretty shocked at sitting next to me the whole time, I reckon my voice was kind of loud, sorry about that!

This morning we didn't know there was a rematch yet and there was so much bloody Slytherin celebrating going on so I went out to the lake and who did I find? Malfoy and Parkinson, holding hands, which was disgusting!! And just sitting there, talking!! Does he not care about Quidditch at all? I mean really!

Now I think I'll go have some crisps! I'm hungry!

Current Mood: excited

Well! My parents weren't home when I got back from Hogwarts because they were seeing my brother, Sean, at the Ministry. He works in the Department of Mysteries, you know. He's an Unspeakable! Well okay he's a junior Unspeakable, but still, they need all the help they can get now so he's getting promoted to an Unspeakable! My brother is the greatest! Anyway so they were seeing him about this Pettigrew business.

What I want to know is, how did Pettigrew get out of Azkaban? Is no one concerned about this but me?? There's no way you can transfigure in Azkaban at all, they put wards up on all the cells of Animagi. Sean said they put really strong ones on Pettigrew's cell, too. The only way Pettigrew could have got out of Azkaban is if someone with a key did it. Is there someone crooked in the Ministry??? Probably, but I mean, is there someone REALLY crooked?!

Oh man, we're not safe anywhere.

My dad's put anti-Apparation wards up all around the house just in case. Laziness is less important than safety! I can't wait to hear what Dumbledore has to say. My dad says he's a good man so I can't wait to get back to Hogwarts, it'll be loads safer there and Dumbledore will know what to do. I think my family's safe, but just in case!

Current Mood: discontent

All right, first off Hermione pawned those stupid pink glasses off on me and I spent the whole day being a total idiot because of it. Whoever planted those glasses in the excursion is about to meet MY FISTS OF DOOM. I finally figured it out and chucked them in someone's sleeping bag last night. I don't know who, so everyone be alert!

I've come home for Easter! Quite a day on the train we had, what with all the sleeping. We were totally exhausted, we got right on the platform coming back from the excursion and plus I was snogging Hermione all night so that was pretty tiring, also. In the good snogging way, I mean!

So anyway, I get home and my parents aren't even here. GREAT. They left me a note saying to make myself dinner! I have a feeling they're avoiding me and I'm going to spend all of hols making dinner for myself.

Current Mood: abandoned

Well, this excursion really rules! Of course it's natural when you're on an excursion with people you trust implicitly.

We had a lesson today with Moody and Kingsley Shacklebolt. Great men! Really admirable! Plus Kingsley said he knows my brother! Rock! Anyway it was really cool, I can't imagine knowing the kind of spells they do. That's all right though. Then Harry Potter messed up a spell and rolled down a big hill and we thought he cracked his head open or something, but I reckon he just tore open the arse of his trousers. Good show, old boy.

It's so safe here I just want to go sleep out of doors or something! I love tents though. They're so fun! Bunkbeds are wicked! I wish I could sleep in a bunkbed all the time. No danger of falling off at all!

It's too bad Susan couldn't come. I expect she's having a good time though. How could you not?

Current Mood: relaxed

What a horrible day! Hannah HIT me at breakfast and then a bunch of people took the piss out of me for all of Double History of Magic. Draco Malfoy and Millicent Bulstrode kept sticking drawings of me and Hermione all over my rucksack because Ron Weasley decided to make the whole school think we were snogging. I don't know what kind of jerk does that to his friends but I expect I'm safer being not his friend.

This is rotten. I feel like everyone's looking at me all the time, looking and laughing! Then we had Double Herbology with Gryffindor in the afternoon, so that was really great. I worked with Justin and everything but I'd rather not spend a lesson with a bunch of traitorous jerks. Except maybe Ginny Weasley but she's not in our year anyway. I bet this was all part of Weasley's plan. Ron Weasley, I mean.

Anyway Justin's going to teach me to balance a broom on my forehead so I'm busy now.
