Dear Diary,

It has been so long since I have written in one of these! Ever since my little brother tried to read mine back in my school days, I have been afraid to write in them…

Well, a dairy is for recording your thoughts, so why not?

It seems the youngest of the Weasley boys is doing more and more poorly in my class every week.  Could it be I'm not giving the students enough homework?  Perhaps I am giving too much.  Hmmm, if I give many assignments, and so do their other teachers, they might not have enough time to do them all, or do them all poorly.  I think, just for this week, I will try a little experiment.  We'll see what kind of an effect a lighter homework load from my class would have on the students.

I do miss being away from home so much.  Robert misses me, and so do the children.  But what am I supposed to do, quit my job?  I really don't know any more.  Could Albus find a decent replacement for me?  Perhaps my cousin Alice could substitute for me in class while I tried to figure things out.
