Dear Diary,
It turns out that Hermione did try to set up a study and resistance group to fight back against the Toad. For some reason, I have been blamed for it. I am writing this before my next detention. I don't know what will happen but it won't be pretty. I will be ready to defend myself, however, mark my words. That bitch, if she tried anything, will be going down.
I wrote a letter to Sirius and Remus, one that I enchanted with a charm they thought me. It will hide what is truly written, making the letter appear like a short, sweet greeting. It will insult someone who is persistent. Hopefully, it will deter anyone from snooping in my mail. I've told them everything, about the dream, about Occlumency and about the Toad and her actions. I hope they find a solution before I have to act.
I've taken to practising magic in secret. Did you know there was a stairway down to the Chamber of Secrets? Who knew? I just asked and stairs formed in the pipe. I love magic. So much so that I've started practising a few spells that would raise eyebrows for certain. Those aren't the only spells however, I'm practising different forms of shields too. I only wish to be able to defend myself. That's what I keep telling myself anyway.
I have to go to detention now. Wish me luck and pray that I don't have to resort to anything…..permanent.
