1st February

Zoya,

You know I don't even care. I will do as I please no matter who's around. I wanted to hug my friends, so I did. Sunshine's parents are totally like that. It's because both of his parents come from a long line of pure blood witches and wizards. So they are like. Super stuck up. His parents have mellowed out a bit though, so that's good. They both kind of raised their eyebrows and laughed when I called Scorpius Sunshine. I think they teased him when I walked away to say goodbye to my parents. Allie-pooh's parents both kinda shared a look I think when I called him by the nickname. They giggled too. Probably I just made it worse, but oh well. That's ok. Siblings are good for blaming. Being the older sibling is harder though because usually the blame falls on you because you're the oldest and more "responsible." Blah. I'm glad to hear you've hooked them on pokemon… I wish I could play….. waaaaaah.

You're probably right. Boys are pretty clueless most of the time. I'm getting really suspicious though. The more I watch them the more I am sure they both like me. What the heck am I supposed to do if they both like me? If I were to pick just one the other wouldn't want to be friends with me anymore! The idea of that makes me so sad. You'll have to go with my parents to pick me up at the end of the year so you can meet them at King's Cross! I need to know what you think… Maybe I could ask their moms. They might know. We shall see.

Well that's good, I'm glad you enjoy your lunch table, even if it is pretty weird. Weird is good sometimes I suppose. Though I feel I'm getting desensitized to weird. I mean I live in a wizarding world. We have centaurs and shit running around in the forest. I've heard some people say we have some unicorns in there too, but I've never seen them. We have a half-giant as a grounds keeper/ care of magical creatures professor. There are mermaids and a giant squid in the lake. Weird plants everywhere. You should see the pranks! Some are really weird. Anyway, I remember Kenny. He scared me because he's so freaking tall. You'll have to let me know how anime is… what is it, anyway? Sounds weird.

I'm so excited about these books. I'm almost done with them though, it's always so sad when you finish up really good books. These are so much fun to read. They use some pretty weird ingredients in potions sometimes. It's so fun to put them together though. I liked the days that we just sat and read too :3 reading is so glorious. I don't know if I will be able to make any of the potions or if I would be able to bring you any, but I suppose I could try.

Actually, Rose is in our year! I have gotten him to introduce us, and we talked for a while, but I don't think we will be super good friends. We just don't click, you know? Her favorite class is charms, and while all those spells are helpful and stuff, I wouldn't say it's one of my favorites. Potions is definitely my favorite, followed by transfiguration. Transfiguration just feels like what magic is supposed to be, you know? Like in all the story books and stuff. Then I like herbology, defense against the dark arts, charms, and then astronomy. Our least favorite class is History of Magic because it's just so boring. Sometimes even I fall asleep in class, and you know how much I'm against that kind of thing! I think Albus really likes defense against the dark arts because he wants to be an auror when he grows up, just like his dad. I think Sunshine wants to be a healer. So he is really interested in both potions and herbology as well as transfiguration and charms as well as defense against the dark arts. I'm not sure what his favorite is. They both like potions, but not as much as I do. I end up helping them through potions a lot of the time. It's pretty funny to watch them scramble to put together a semi-challenging potion.

True, true. However, I still desire fanfiction! Just small amounts so I don't overdo it. I suppose it's true that it would be pretty hard to ship you with someone when you tend to be rather nomadic in friendships and stuff. Other than me of course! Also, you know you'll love it when I ship you and some guy. It will make you happy and you'll love it. Do you ship me with Allie-pooh and/or Sunshine? I'm curious.

So the gift swap! You know what I got them because you went with me to look for stuff. They thought the key chains were hilarious. I ended up with the pizza, the "forever" which is great because pizza is the best. Allie-pooh got "best", the hamburger, and Sunshine took the hotdog ("friends".) I also gave both of them the silly fluffy pens with the googly eyes. They were a little weirded out by those. "So…. I don't dip it in the ink?" "No," I said, "the ink is in the pen" *both brains explode*. It was so funny. They really liked the scrap books I made them. :3 They got me stuff for potions. Allie-pooh got me some vials and Sunshine bought me some ingredients for a potion. They are all ingredients for one specific potion, one that is supposed to be pretty dangerous. It's the strongest love potion in the wizarding world. It's called Amortentia. The really fascinating thing is it has a different smell depending on who smells it. Everyone smells what attracts them most. It makes me wonder what I would smell… I'm gonna have to see if Professor Greengrass would let me brew it… She might if she was watching and then took it away after. I'll have to ask. I wonder what it means if that is what he got for me?
