Sept 7th

This week has been hectic. The first week back always is, I suppose. Professor Slughorn is still trying to get me into his "Slug Club." Lily's already a 'member,' and Sirius has been invited again as well. I told him if he goes, I will. He said not in a million years. I thanked him.

James announced yesterday that the animegus potion was almost finished. About time, too. It's been brewing for a whole year! I can't wait to see what our animal forms will be!

Peter got hit with a pox jinx on Wednesday. He's still in the hospital wing. Bertie Stevens, the douche from Hufflepuff who threw the curse, was punished severely, of course. By both Professor M AND James and Sirius. That's the best part about being friends with them. They look out for you. They're obviously closer to each other than they are to any of us. But that's alright, I think. Remus and I are closer than we are with any of them, and Peter…I wonder about Peter sometimes. When I'm off with Remus, and Sirius and James are off together…where does he go? Sirius thinks he goes back to their room and…actually, never mind.

Sirius, James and I went and pulled that prank on the Slytherin cousin, by the way. It was loads of fun. The look on her face was amazing! Classic! James wants to do Snape next. Reckons he'll look nice in a slinky cocktail dress. I almost gagged when he told me that! I think I may have to exclude myself from this particular joke…just the thought of Snivellus in a dress makes me nauseous. Plus, Lily would never speak to me again if she found out I was going to take part in it. I reminded this to James – that Snape is her friend and she'll be extremely angry with him for sticking her friend in a slinky dress – but I think that may have only fueled his fire. I'm not quite sure what he's playing at with Lily. Sirius reckons neither does James…
