I sure love my life, or, maybe, my...unlife?
Anyway, I know every inch of this castle, and I don't plan on leaving. This place is my home, and I have to defend it from the nasty teenagers that stay here. But Dumbledore said I can't kill them, so I resort to playing pranks constantly.
And recently, I got a pet! Yes, a pet, he is a dog, one of the kids accidentally killed it and it became a ghost.
I am going to use it to play pranks, lots of them. Oh! And here is our first victim!
"Crouch down beneath the floor, little one," I whispered to the small canine, pushing under the floorboards, "Three, two, one, GO!"
I let the dog go and it jumped out from the floor, barking and chasing a young, red-haired boy. His girly scream filled me with delight as I rose to take the dog.
When the boy spotted me, he began to complain that I play too many pranks and that I should stop. Which I then responded with, "Well, you should tell your two older twin brothers that - they seem to enjoy these harmless jokes as well."
The look on his face as he walked away was so good, I had to laugh again!

The next few months, I continued to play pranks and let the dog stay up late into the night howling.
I can finally say that I have my own little pet peeve….s.
