Dear Diary!

The exams are coming (only just ten weeks more!) and I haven't started studying for them yet. All because of The Dark Professor trying to steal the Philosopher's Stone. I mean, I should have started studying ages ago, but I had to research that Nicky Guy to figure out what it was Snape is after. And thereafter we had to worry about the H/G Quidditch match with Snape as referee and all. So I'm really worried if I'm still going to be able to pass all the exams. They're important, you know. They're going to decide if we'll get into the second year. Ron is his old annoying self from term start again. Can you believe it, he actually asked me WHY I want to study for the exams anyway. Told me I already know it all. But I don't. I have to study to make the exams. And they'd better start studying, too. I mean, they want to make it, too, right? I'll have to work through the whole Easter holidays if I want to make up for the time I lost when researching The Alchemist. I know, it was important, too but still... it made me lose valuable studying time.
The Detective Duo still hasn't any clues. They've been questioning Hufflepuffs for some time now, but haven't found out anything about their new rival. They've been investigating the Phantom for months now and have still no lead, as Ron told us yesterday. They also started questioning Gryffindors again. But as everybody was in the Tower as the "Attack" occured (with the exception of Harry, but he told them he was flying to calm down after the game because Snape had been too unfair as a referee and they seemed to believe him), they're not smarter than with what they started anyway. They're taking it very personal now. Something about having to defend fellow Quidditch players from acts of vandalism. As if they'd never played pranks on 'fellow Quidditch players'! Puh-leeze! I wasn't born yesterday! And I've been on this school for almost a year now (a really amazing and exciting year) AND I've been in the same House as the W-T's. So I know very well that F&G pull pranks on Quidditch players as well as on everybody else. They don't make any exceptions, not even for their teammates, so they really shouldn't be the ones to talk, don't you agree?
OK, I'll be off to the library now. You know, studying for the exams. I'll write soon.

Bye!

Hermione
