I'm... so sore...
Damn Quidditch practice...
First one. I forgot from last year and the year before how much work it takes to be a Chaser. I mean, you don't get sore from being a Keeper or a Seeker. Not during practice anyway, only during games when bludgers are flying hungrily towards your head going like possessed demons.
I guess being a Chaser isn't so bad, especially when compared to my Keeper skills. I was the Keeper my Second through my Fourth Year. Wasn't very good. At all. I got to stand in for Terrence some during my Fourth Year as Seeker though! He decided that being able to graduate from Hogwarts was more important than Quidditch. He never did let me play Gryffindor though. He liked trying to beat out Harry Potter who was a First Year then. Hmph. I could have beat a stupid little First Year, even if he was Harry Potter!
But now I'm a Chaser. They found a better Keeper finally, which probably wasn't too difficult, really. I was a better Seeker than Chaser, and I probably would have been the Seeker after Terrence if that damn Malfoy hadn't bought his bloody way onto the team. I hate him!!!
Why am I ranting about Quidditch? I'm too sore to rant...
I'm so glad Ollie's still staying for now! He's going to watch some of the practices for a while and help Madame Hooch with the First Years.
He and Terry were both at our practice this morning. They also both agreed that I made a much better Chaser than Keeper.
Neither have mentioned seeing me at the restaurant again. I do hope it is forgotten.
7:31 pm
Yay! I love love love life!
We're going to have a Halloween Dance and we get to wear costumes!!!!!!!!
This is going to be great!
Oh bloody hell, now I have to find a date....
I hate hate hate life.
10:47 pm
Crys and I are sneaking into Laura's room in Ravenclaw Tower around midnight, teehee. Laura claims she managed to make sure her roommates won't know anything about it, whatever that means. We're going to plan for the costume party.
I hope we don't discuss dates.
I ought to just find a huge snake and wear that. At least I'd find someone to dance with me. There's enough perverts in Slytherin alone.
10:51 pm
I wonder if Ollie would go with me...?
10:53 pm
I doubt it.
10:54 pm
God, I hope Terry doesn't show up with some guy.....
11:21 pm
What if Rupert finds out?! He'll insist on coming with me!
He can't find out... or I'll jump in the lake, drink poison, feed myself to Venom, anything!
11:45 pm
It's about time to head out! I wonder what Laura has planned for us. I'm not sure I should trust her... but whatever. I've got nothing better to do except die.
Ohmigosh!
There was this huge thunk and my bed just fell over kinda lopsided, what the hell...?
Oh, it's just Venom. He's eating my bed. Whatever.
((I know the real Halloween party in the 4th book wasn't really a costume party, but just go with it. It'll be more fun.))
