I won't kill her. I won't kill her. I won't kill her. I won't kill her. I won't kill her. I won't kill her. I won't kill her. I won't kill her. I won't kill her. I won't kill her. I won't kill her. I won't kill her. I won't kill her. I won't kill her. I won't kill her. I won't kill her. I won't kill her. I won't kill her. I won't kill her. I won't kill her. I won't kill her. I won't kill her. I won't kill her. I won't kill her. I won't kill her. I won't kill her. I won't kill her. I won't kill her. I won't kill her. I won't kill her. I won't kill her. I won't kill her. I won't kill her. I won't kill her. I won't kill her. I won't kill her. I won't kill her. I won't kill her. I won't kill her. I won't kill her. I won't kill her. I won't kill her. I won't kill her. I won't kill her.

...

Okay, this is obviously not working. I still am going to kill her. I guess it just proves that when teachers make you write I will not talk in class two-hundred-seventeen times it really does nothing except make you talk more.

3:15 am

 I can't sleep. I never have trouble sleeping, so why now?

One word.

Laura.

5:16 am

 I love Venom. He came and snuggled against my shoulder and stuck his litte-big wet nose in my ear. Honestly, it's like owning a small dog. But at least I know someone loves me!

OUCH!

Or maybe he was just hungry and my ear looked yummy.

6:08 am

 Screw it. I'd be getting up in an hour or two anyway.

Maybe I should just talk to Laura. Maybe it's really nothing. Maybe it's all in my head. I mean, really, I've got a lot of strange things in here.

I should think of something else, like my date with Rupert tomorrow...

On second thought, homicide is much more entertaining.

Except maybe I can get Rupert to take me to Hogsmeade to gather the materials for my Sparkling Diamond costume! Free trip out of this hellhole anyway, who would complain?

8:01 am

 Great, now I have to pick up a bunch of stuff for Crys too. She'd better make it worth my while and do what she promised.

She's approaching the Ravenclaw table...

She's sitting down next to Enemy #1...

She's talking with Enemy #1...

She's laughing with Enemy #1...

She's... She's...

She completely ignoring me!

I hate you all!!!

12:48 pm

 Okay, so maybe I overreacted earlier. It can be forgiven. Honestly, how often do I actually overreact?!

Crys did her job, but that doesn't mean I have to like her information.

Apparently, Oliver has asked Laura to go with him, but not just with him, go out with him.

What's so special about her?! What does she have that I don't? She's not even on the Quidditch team!

I'm so depressed....

The only news is that Laura told him I'll think about it and not Hell yeah! like any normal girl would. Imagine, getting to tell Oliver Wood I'll think about it. I think I would melt into a little happy puddle on the spot!

What does she have that's so special that she's waiting for?

9:31 pm

 No more updates on the Oliver/Laura situation. I know this is an early bedtime for me, but considering I had no sleep last night and I have to get up early for Quidditch practice and then go on a date, it's quite necessary.
