Lina thinks this is a good idea. My dream that I had. That's some consolation at least.
Love,

Well hello again, my friend, I'm afraid I've quiet neglected you over the last few weeks. Lily's birthday was kind of stressful. And then for some reason a week before her birthday she gave me these books, told me to start with the Odyssey. I tried for her sake, but it was sooo boring. I had to ask Remus, who had read the book when he was younger, what it was about. He said it was a rather horrible book in his opinion, after all, the characters just seemed to want to sleep with everyone else.
He put it nicely though. And I've probably murdered his actual words in my translation of his geek-out.
Love,
Jen

I went into the Hospital Wing today, just to scare Madam Pomfrey, she near died when I walked in with a limp (it was from Quidditch Practice and my ankle was slightly out of wack, but nothing major. She told me to leave it I was fooling with her, so naturally I sat down and pulled off my Quidditch boot (which was really hard, have you seen those things?). My ankle wasn't that bad, I probably could have taken it to Lily, but I wanted to go see Poppy, in remembrance of our time together last year.
She treated it and then smiled at me saying, "Jen, you bad girl," when I presented her with a gift of flowers from the Forbidden Forest and some spello-tape. But then her smile faded because she knows me too well. "What brought this on."
I replied, "It's our anniversary. Of the time that I spent in the Hospital wing. Speaking of which, I'm kinda growing short on that stuff you gave me…"
She smiled before rushing back into her office to get me some.
When she gave it to me she said, "Don't come back unless you're dying, okay? Or if you need some more of this stuff." She smiled and hugged me.
I don't know why. She should like Lily more than me, Lily wants to be a Healer. Or a Auror. But she hasn't decided. I don't know what the hell I want to be.
Love,
Jen

The fifth years are freaking out about O.W.L.s again. Flitwick seemed to have said something to them. He said it to us too, mostly because she was tired and Sirius asked him, because the fifth years had been freaking out at lunch again. They were screaming and crying when they came into the Great Hall and the majority of the teachers ran off to their class rooms claiming they had to get work down. Dumbledore was the only teacher remaining, watching the students.
Every house listened to the horror story the fifth years told the younger students.
One near me said, "He told us O.W.L.s would be canceled but then he said he was kidding at the end of the hour."
Why do they fall for it every year. Merlin I hope we don't. I know I won't.
Jen
Later:
Maybe Dumbledore will do something about it in a few years. Harry never sees anything like it. Or maybe Flitwick just because stupid like every other teacher.

MERLIN I AM FED UP WITH PEOPLE. I was studying today in the common room and all of the sudden these two stupid Gryffindor first years began to gossip about who was dating who. They didn't listen when a SEVENTH year told them to shut up. You always listen to the seventh years. They're the parents and we're the kids. It's the law of the house.
Granted a dysfunctional family, but a good one. We really are a family. A small happy family.
BUT ANYWAY. THESE TWO STUPID GIRLS THEN said, "OH I'll just go join Huffle then," and walked out of the damn place all prissy like.
Now the other seventh years who were studying because they too had gotten a surprise Divination test on Monday on everything we've covered. And they have more information than us but that's not relevant, took it upon themselves to close the entrance to the tower until the two idiots decided to shut…AREHGH I WANT TO SWEAR.
Lily says I shouldn't swear so much. I told her to go away in a not so polite way so she found a spell that made it virtually impossible for me to swear.
So then some girls began to giggle and laugh and talk about the really ugly person in the Weird Sisters. The two idiots began to look at them weirdly before saying, "WHO CARES?"
And the entire common room replied in unison, "Exactly."
I left after that, I was too overwhelmed by the….people.
Bye,
Jen
Later:
Burgers. I had the worst freaking dream in the world.
"What's the date?" I asked Emma as I sat down next to her on the lawn.
"March 30th, why?" asked Emma as she flipped through the pages of her divination book. "Say, do you know what tea leaves have to do with the future other than complete (word I can't say thanks to Lily)?"
"Don't you?" I retorted, pulling out my Transfiguration book.
"No of course not. I skipped half that class, you know because Mopsus kept…whatever. Anyway, I'm so quitting after O.W.L.s," Emma finished, going back to scribbling on her parchment.
"No you're not," I muttered smirking to myself. She looked up, confused. I then realized I had said that aloud. "You…you…you wouldn't want to leave me alone up there with Sirius and James would you?" I covered up. I knew she would though. She was in those dreams.
She smiled. "Of course not."
We studied in peace for a few minutes before I dropped my quill, going white in the face.
"Emma, we need to get out of here now," I said, pulling my books into my arms, trying to pull her up at the same time. "Quickly."
"Why?" asked Emma, refusing to move. "I mean, there's no…"
At that moment the screams started.
And then it went black. So Merlin I hope it's something not…bad.
Love,
Jen
A/N: I AM SO SORRY. I will try to have another chapter up this Wednesday even though finals are the week after the next for me. December is a really bad month for me, I never get anything done. And the last major story that I had before December last year I quit writing. God I hope that doesn't happen to this because I love this story. Okay anyway. I really don't deserve a review, but please? REVIEW? I will love you forever. (I don't own HP)
