A/N: FF.N is evil, I tell you!! I'm going to start putting everything up
on my own website, which can be found at
http://www.geocities.com/leiaamidala916 so that the next time this happens,
I'll be able to tell people where to go to read my work.
I've been rather neglecting this in favor of an insanely long AU piece which will soon be forthcoming. This is probably about half-done now, though, if you were wondering...
Enjoy!! And remember, Harry Potter doesn't belong to me. Also, the musical Brigadoon isn't mine either, but as I made Sirius a Scot, I thought of the most brilliant way to make sure there's no hard feelings between James and Sirius, and so they're doing a musical at Hogwarts. Unrealistic? Probably. Too bad!

The fins are just slightly different on different gender fish.
Or you could just ask the person at the pet shop, as Orion kindly pointed out.

Seventh year!
Kinda scary, honestly. And it leaves everyone thinking about what they're going to do once they get out of school.
That's even scarier.
James, of course, wants to play Quidditch, and thinks I should do the same, but I don't know. Lyria's obviously going to be an Auror. Poor Rem'll be glad to get any work, he says, but he'll manage. He's too stubborn not to, honestly.
Okay, that's enough thinking for a while.
I actually wrote because someone got the bright idea of having the seventh years do a musical. Yay. It really could be fun, though, I'll admit. Those of us who are interested will meet tomorrow morning, and Professor Meyer from Astronomy will announce the musical and such things. We're performing in early October, before Quidditch really picks up, so I might do something.
September 3, 1978
I'm in over my head.
Way, way over my head.
Well, see, the selected musical is Brigadoon, which takes place in Scotland in the 1700s. And we did auditions yesterday night, and just for the heck of it, I tried out. And this morning, Professor Meyer was kind enough to tell me I'm playing Tommy, who's the guy from New York in the 1900s that stumbles into the village of Brigadoon, which is still stuck in the 1700s.
Well, at least I don't have to wear the kilt on stage. I don't know who's playing Charlie, but I pity the guy. He gets to dance and sing in a kilt. And I for one predict he gets made fun of for the rest of the year, seeing as my best friend made fun of me for it and it's part of *my* culture.
Yeah, I'm still a little sore about that.
On the plus side, Lyria's playing Fiona, who's the lead character. She'll be good, she's got a nice voice. And even better, Fiona & Tommy get together by the end.
September 6, 1978
Got my first detention of the year from Prewett. This time it was Snape cracking on Peter, so I sort of cracked him over the head with my cauldron.
On the plus side, Snape won't be in classes for a few days. On the minus side, fifty points from Gryffindor and detention.
Also, Lyri & I were lucky enough to get caught last night when we were snogging in the common room. Thankfully, it was just Lily & James on their way out for their own evening necking session.
September 8, 1978
Lyria noticed that I'm still a little sore over the kilt thing. Not sure what tipped her off, though I guess it could have been the fact that James mentioned my kilt at musical practice and I flashed him the Look of Death. (Learned that look from Lyria. It's come in handy.)
Anyway, she decided she has to fix things somehow, so she and Orion are plotting something.
Which means avoid them both like the plague for a while.
September 12, 1978
I nearly forgot about Lyria's birthday.
It's the sixteenth, thank God, so I have four days to work something out. I don't think forgetting her birthday would be conducive to getting some alone time with her any time in the near future.
Also, must remember that two days from now we'll have been dating for a year. An entire year! Holy shit!
Must ask Lily if it'd be cheesy to do some sort of combined thing on the fifteenth. Probably.
September 14, 1978
It's lunch. My inherent stupidity seems to have struck again.
I sort of told Prewett off in class and got detention.
I missed Lyria at breakfast, so I gave her her anniversary present before class started. Prewett came nosing around to see what was going on, and I told him to get stuffed. For some reason, he got mad at me, took some points, and gave me detention. The nerve of that bastard, giving me detention when I have plans with my girl for our anniversary!
On the plus side, I did at least make Lyria laugh when I told Prewett to get stuffed, and she deliberately made a ruckus in class so she got herself a detention too.
Not the most romantic of plans, but hey, we'll be together at least.
It's still kind of weird that she *wants* to spend with me. Not because I'm a Quidditch player or good at Transfiguration or the local cutie like other various girls wanted to, but because I'm me. I've been trying to figure out for a while what I did to deserve her, and I've decided I don't.
James was polite enough to agree with me when I told him that, so I had to kick him in the head.
September 15, 1978
Prewett left Lyria and me alone in the dungeons to clean up something last night at detention. If he had any idea what we'd done on his desk, he'd probably shit himself.
And I realized that I can just take last night's plans and move them to tomorrow for Lyria's birthday. I'm so clever.
Musical practice is going pretty well, and Lyria still hasn't tried to make me get over "the kilt issue," as Remus has taken to calling it. Moony, it turns out, was brave enough to take the part of Angus MacGuffie and also wear a kilt on stage. Lily's playing Jeanie MacLaren, Fiona's sister, and Orion's playing Charlie. I think those are the only Gryffindors with major parts.
September 16, 1978
Well, it's actually the 17th now. Oh well. Just got back to the dorm.
I borrowed Prongs's Invisibility Cloak, and Lyria and I slipped out of the castle for a moonlight broom ride and midnight picnic. And a few other things that I can't describe because if I do and someone finds this, Lyria will suffocate me.
September 25, 1978
I have decided that James Potter is a mental case and should be sedated for his own personal safety. Of course, Remus told me it was about time I realize my best friend belongs in St. Mungo's, but this time he's really lost it.
He's going to propose to Lily at Christmas.
Remus says it's cute, because James is Head Boy and Lil's Head Girl. (Of course, Moony's also a sap.)
I admire his nerve, but think it's misplaced. Not that Lily isn't a good kid, and not that they wouldn't be great together, but holy shit, he just turned seventeen and he's talking about getting married!
And we selected January first for our Master Prank. We're gonna go mess in the Slytherin Common Room in a few weeks, though.
Play set for October first. Must work on my New York accent. It's very hard when you're from Scotland.
