Sept 1st

I'm so happy to be back in school. Do normal people say that? Cyndie, my Muggle cousin says she hates school. But then, I guess she's never been to a place like Hogwarts. I love it here. And I missed my boys like crazy over break. Especially Remus, of course… I think the next time Mum offers to bring me along to some amazing foreign country for the whole summer, I might just have to say no. I missed so much while I was gone.

For instance, last year James had MAJOR issues with my roommate, Lily Evans. But over the summer, he has apparently 'come to his senses' and has realized that he is madly and passionately in love with her.

WHERE THE BLOODY HELL DID THAT COME FROM?

Actually, I sort of suspected it…but it still sort of took me by surprise. Oh well. It's been four years, after all. If he took any longer to realize he had a thing for her, I think I might have had to curse him.

He still hates Snape though. Which is fine by me…I don't like him much either. Too sulky. It's like, really bud, get a hobby and stop moping around already! He loves Lily, too. That's why he's such a goth.

Why does Lily have all these blokes chasing after her and I don't? Really, what does she have that I don't have? Well, whatever it is…I wish she'd let me borrow it. Maybe then Remus would finally take his head out of his book long enough to notice me. He'll tell me all his secrets, he knows most of mine, we have fun together, we laugh, I'm closer to him than I am with any of the others, and yet…why doesn't he see it?

Lily suggested that maybe his hormones haven't kicked in yet…I doubt it though. His voice is a bit too…mannish…for them not to have kicked in. Perhaps he's gay…

Figures I'd be the one to fall in love with a gay man.

Anyways, despite all of this romance drama, I am still incredibly thrilled to be back at Hogwarts. Sirius says he already has plans for a new prank to play on his cousin Narcissa (she's a seventh-year, and a Slytherin, hahaha!). I can't wait!
