The third book is probably my favorite. Of course, you'll probably be able to tell that by the number of chapters I spend on this book...just giving you a heads-up. I'll probably spend quite a bit of time writing blog posts for Prisoner of Azkaban, second only to the amount of time I spend on the seventh book. (And that's just because the blog for Deathly Hallows will be pretty AU.) Just warning you...
Subject: Welcome Back!
Ahhh...another school year has begun! Welcome back, everyone!
I repeat here what I said at the Feast for all of you who weren't listening: Do not cross the dementors. Don't leave school without permission. Don't give the dementors any reason to harm you.
I wish you all a happy new (school) year.

Subject: It Will Be
It WILL be a good year, now that we have a Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher who actually knows how to cure a dementor attack! I'm far more impressed with Professor Lupin than I was with "Professor" Lockhart.

Subject: He Seems Nice
Yeah...who knew chocolate was the cure for dementor attacks? Good thing Lupin was there...he seems really cool!

Subject: Dementors...
Should not be here at Hogwarts! It may be necessary, but it's far too dangerous! Dementors are unpredictable and deadly and having them around children is anything but a good idea.

Subject: It Can't Be Helped
It really can't be helped, Minerva. Hopefully they'll catch Sirius Black before the dementors have a chance to...er...get acquainted with our students.

Subject: They already have!
At least with Potter...he fainted! Are dementors big and scary, Potter?

Subject: Oh, shut up!
You were shaking and white as a sheet, Malfoy! You've got no right to taunt Harry about being scared of them!

Subject: Verbal Abuse
It may be perfectly normal in the corridors where we teachers can't help it, but on this blog verbal abuse is not tolerated! This blog is meant to be a fun place on the Internet where students can relax and chat, not where they're constantly at risk of bullying! Keep your caustic comments to yourself or write them in your personal blog, Malfoy.

I'm Pretty Much Awesome

Why can't I just say the truth?
Potter did faint and he was scared of the dementors! And now I'm getting in trouble for saying so?
Stupid.
I'm not taking Muggle Studies this year. Mom and Dad would throw a fit if I did. But I overheard some students talking about it (and checked out a few personal blogs that weren't set to private (still working on hacking 'em, but nobody's published Hacking Wizards' Blogs for Dummies yet (not that I'm a dummy, though Granger would most likely tell you otherwise))) and they said that yes, they are indeed studying Muggle music. They're starting out simple--Relient K and a few other bands for third years--and then getting more advanced as they go on. Sixth years are analyzing "Stairway to Heaven" and writing essays on how it shows the similarities between Muggles and wizards. (Stupid, I know, but I listened to "Stairway to Heaven" a few days ago when I first heard about their assignment. It's a very cool song and I'd almost enjoy writing an essay on it.)
If only I could take Muggle Studies...
On another note, Ancient Runes is tough but interesting. One problem: that know-it-all Granger is in it. She sneered at me on the way in, so what else could I do? I sneered back. Self-defense, really.
Ramblings of a New Student
Hermione Granger
I guess I really should change the name of my blog. I'm hardly new here.
Anyway, Malfoy is definitely in Ancient Runes. Too bad. It looks like other than him, Ancient Runes will be one of my favorite classes. Divination will not. I'm entertaining the notion that Professor Trelawney is a fraud; we've hardly learned anything useful.
Oh, and Hagrid is teaching Care of Magical Creatures. Too bad Malfoy had to ruin that, too. Well, it's his own bloody fault Buckbeak attacked him! He insulted him!
If Malfoy wins, I'll be so mad...

Why does Malfoy have to be rich on top of everything else?

Why is Malfoy taking Ancient Runes? It doesn't seem like his kind of class...
Harry Potter
-------------------------------------
Nothing is Malfoy's kind of class unless it involves bullying and insults and it's taught by Snape.

So why is he at Hogwarts again?
