I got a letter from Sebastien today, and stupid James saw it, and he stole it and read it! Ugh! I could just about kill him! Now he's for sure gonna tell the other boys! I haven't even really told Lily yet. I mean, I told her I met Sebastien and everything… but she doesn't know much more than that.

And now all the Marauders are going to know. Damn it!

James was all, "Ooh, Rose has a boyfriend!" when he read it. It was super embarrassing because of what the letter said. Luckily half of it was in French, so James didn't understand the really personal bits.

So Sebastien says he misses me a lot and he wishes he could see my beautiful face ("votre beau visage" he said) and smell my hair. I'm pretty sure I was blushing the whole time I was reading the letter.

Anyway, James could only read the bits about him missing me and that he thinks about me all the time. Which is better than James knowing that he told me, "Je vois les yeux dans les étoiles et votre visage magnifique apparaît dans mes rêves les plus doux. Je me réveille souhaitant qu'ils étaient réels et en espérant que je vous reverrai bientôt." Which, in English, means, "I see your eyes in the stars and your gorgeous face appears in my sweetest dreams. I awake wishing they were real and hoping I will see you again soon." How cute is he?! I cannot wait to tell Lily all this! I just need a friend I can gush to about all of it. I cannot wait to get back to school!

Anyway, we're going to Diagon Alley with the Potters tomorrow before we go home, so that'll be fun at least.

I'm gonna write Sebastien back right now though.

Damn James. I'm gonna get hell from those boys when I get back to school.
