Dumbledore isn't here, and won't be for a couple of days. I'll have to keep a closer watch on Quirrel until he gets back.

Now if only I didn't have to worry about Potter's gang as well. They keep getting underfoot everywhere, I can't seem to get a moments rest. It's almost as if they're watching me, but no, that's ridiculus.

McGonnagol mentioned that they were looking for Dumbledore earlier today and when they found out he wasn't here, they seemed panic stricken. Almost like they would be attacked any moment, that without Dumbledore here Hogwarts isn't safe. She tried to reassure them but wanted to warn me that they might be wandering more to "protect" other students. If only the other Potter had been so noble.

But I will have to do my best to keep everyone safe when Dumbledore is gone. I wonder if he knows what Potter is up to and what a burden his absence places on everyone else at the school...
