Detention with McGonagall. Crawled back from the tedious task of moving all the jars containing half-Vanished mice that had been put on the totally Unvanished shelf. Wish I hadn't done that now. My hands are aching.

Potter lost 2 points for Gryffindor in Potions. Snape's a great teacher and head of house, I got ten points for Slytherin because I swapped my overheated stewed horned frogs with a smart Gryffindor who had done his perfectly. He (Snape) didn't notice, of course. And the Gryffindor who complained lost five points for his house and detention!
(NOTE: The date here is smudged.)
We had our first flying lesson today. Longbottom broke his wrist when his broomstick got out of control, the idiot. Potter flew after me when I grabbed Longbottom's rememberall, or whatever the stupid thing was called. I was sure he would be expelled, but Potter ended up becoming GRYFFINDOR SEEKER! Honestly! This place must be going to the dogs. He's a year too young! Just you wait, Potter, I'll get my revenge when I'm Seeker.

Well, word has got round that Potter and Weasley saved a mudblood from a troll. I really don't know what the teachers were playing at, giving Gryffindor points for attempted suicide.
