Entry #7: October 10th
Dear Tom,
We had flying practice today with Madam Hooch. It was fun. I did fairly well compared to most of the class.
~Good for you. I'm sure you're a natural!
Of course a lot of first years have never flown before, so I've had a bit of a head start.
~Lucky you!
Yes, and Madam Hooch likes me too, which helps!
~How could anyone not like you?
You should try talking with Professor Snape. He's head of Slytherin house and has it in for all the Gryffindors! And me in particular I think because my brother is friends with Harry Potter. Harry and Professor Snape hate each other!
~He can't be all that bad! What does he teach?
Potions. I'm not bad at the class, in fact I do pretty well. But today I made one little mistake, I stirred clockwise instead of counter clockwise and he made fun of me in front of the whole class.
~That's terrible! He shouldn't be allowed to do stuff like.
I know, but he does anyhow! And we have Potions with the Slytherins so now they've got one more thing to make fun of me about. They keep asking me for directions to places and then laughing at me and saying that I don't know which way is which and I'd get them lost!
~They are just being mean, don't pay any attention to them.
I try not to but it's hard! If it wasn't for Blythe I don't think I'd be able to bear it! She stands up to them with the best comebacks!!! Then we leave together and she tells me not to worry about it!
~Your friend has good sense then!
Yes! But oh, Tom, I have not told you about Professor Lockhart yet!
~No you haven't. What does he or she teach?
Defense Against the Dark Arts! And he's soooooo dreamy! He has lovely blond hair! All us girls love him. Well, Blythe doesn't much, but I can't understand why? I mean, he's done so many amazing things.
~Sounds terrific.
He is! Oops, it's getting late. I have to go. See you later!
~Bye Ginny!

Author's Note: Ummm, yeah, I don't really have much to say! But it's going to get very interesting very soon. Halloween is almost here as is the writing on the wall!!
