A/N: It has been too long since I've last updated. So very sorry about this. My excuse is school, but if I had tried harder to make time for this it could have happened. No copyright infringement intended.
2 November 1994
Everything on this end is business as usual.
Potter lost Gryffindor house points for being his usual arrogant self.
Granger got them back for being an insufferable know-it-all.
Longbottom lost them again for a general lack of common sense, which means I won today's battle against the rowdy Gryffindors. Although I usually do win, so it's not much to boast about.
I examined the House Point vials – to my horror Hufflepuff was winning. However, by noon Hufflepuff was in last. None of my doing. I didn't even have them in class today. Pomona tried to accuse me of unfairly taking away points during class. I told her to tell her students to work harder, since that seems to be the only trait they have going for them.
Later in the afternoon Dumbledore had me model for him in his office the gloves he had recently knit. Not sure why he felt it was necessary at all or that I be the model – I'm certain Breton could have done it, what with her glove fetish. She was hanging around the school all day today anyway, chatting with students. She had a little hiccup with the Skeeter yesterday according to the Evening Prophet. Details unknown, I repeat only what I heard second-hand.
McGonagall hissed some nasty Scottish insult at me for missing the faculty meeting (I told her it was an accident; it slipped my mind). She also seemed to be quite angry I publicly called Breton the nosebleed of the Ministry – annoying and only cured by patience and a good handkerchief for muffling. I didn't apologize. To be honest, I'm only sorry she caught me saying it.
