Renee Helmer's Little Black Book
(Otherwise Known as a Diary)

11:12 am
Saturdays are wonderful things, yes? Freedom from all responsibilities... Like tormenting potions masters. Best of all, I can sleep in instead of having to---
1:21 pm
Sorry it took so long for me to come back and continue writing. You see, I was just sitting there minding my own business when Venom threw himself at my head again and latched on. I wasn't sure what he was trying to get out of that, but then he started eating me! Yes, eating me!!!!
I paralyzed him with that lovely spell of course, then went straight to Hagrid for a brief lesson in Garlats. He explained to me that once a Garlat reaches puberty, it eats its mother's head.
Wow, and human parents complain about their teenagers....
So anyway, Hagrid put together a potion for me that he said should calm him down and keep him from eating me in my sleep. I do hope it works, but I guess I'll find out if it doesn't. It'll be pretty obvious, after all.
2:15 am
As if this day couldn't get any worse! First Venom wants to eat me, and now Rupert does!
Yes, Rupert. He just showed up out of nowhere, I guess, and wants me to come down and go somewhere with him, though he prefers that I dress appropriately this time.
Where did I put that tongue ring?
5:15 am
I never cease to be amazed by Terry.
Rupert and I were coming back from a most upsetting date (he would not stay off of me!), and here comes Crys in her oblivious blonde stupor and says, I've got a date to the Halloween party now, too!
Of course, under different circumstances, this would have made me relatively happy, but under these it was most distressing.
Immediately Rupert turns to me and says, There's a Halloween party? Why haven't I heard anything about it? As if we're engaged or something... UGH!
Well, I open my mouth while trying to quickly piece together some kind of excuse, when Terry walks up out of nowhere (I swear he must have some kind of psychic connection with me) and says to Rupert, Because she's my date, so back off.
I'm still a little fuzzy on what happened next. One second Terry was there, and the next second I was there in Terry's arms, lips pressed to his, his tongue in my mouth (which was surprisingly nice, especially when he started playing with the tongue ring). I'm not sure how long this lasted, but when it was over Rupert was stalking off in a huff.
I kind of stood there and blinked as Terry dragged me around a corner, suddenly coughing and spitting like he had tasted poison. But I don't care what he says, he knows he liked the tongue ring even if he does claim that kissing a girl was the most disgusting thing he's ever had to do in his entire life.
9:00 pm
I gave Venom his medicine and he hasn't moved since.... I hope I haven't killed him.
9:56 pm
He still hasn't moved.
10:32 pm
Maybe I should poke him a little, I can't even tell if he's still breathing.
10:48 pm
Finally stopped the bleeding, I hope Mme. Pomfrey can reattach this finger alright....
