My life is almost totally revolving around Quidditch now. Only a few weeks until our first game, and James is determined to win. And not just win, but he wants to win by a lot. He wants to destroy Slytherin. I worry about him sometimes...I mean, obviously some of this determination is angled toward beating Severus's house. But Snape isn't even on their team! Sirius reckons it's also him wanting to show off for Lily, which is funny since Lily thinks James being the captain of the team makes him a pompus freak. The only reason she's going to watch the game at all, she says, is to support me. But at least she's coming, right?

I still haven't thought of a way to reconnect with Remus. I miss him so much. I managed to smile at him today...he looked a bit taken aback. See? If I started actually talking to him, he might die of shock. And then I'd die because he did.

I can't wait for Halloween. No classes, a trip to Hogsmeade, and then a feast. It'll be amazing. I love food. James is always teasing me about getting fat, but I told him even if that does happen, I will be the happiest fat person in the world. The only thing that would really suck is that my broom might not be able to hold me...and it's a really nice one, too. A new Shooting Star model that was just released last year. I'd be so upset if I wasn't able to ride it. I love flying.

On our last trip to Hogsmeade, I did manage to surprise Melanie. I walked in on her and Eric having a major snogfest... Wasn't exctly the most comfortable moment in the world. Anyways, so this time, Melanie and I are actually arranging to meet at the Three Broomsticks, which ironically is where Sirius is planning on meeting his girlfriend. He's snuck out to see her a few times before - using James' invisibility cloak, of course. He says he really likes her, and apparently they haven't gotten too physical yet. He says Miriam isn't into the shag-only relationships. I said that's probably a good thing.
