Dear Diary
Yawn what a day I have had today; started lessons and blegh-ness you should hear what lessons I had today! Potions first - that sucked, one of those nasty little Slytherins decided it would be funny to rob my sliced caterpillars, so I had to get some more off Snape who was moaning about people not coming to lessons with all the ingredients, being sloppy and forgetful. He went on for ages I didn't really listen to him much.
Herbology - got bit by the Vampire grass leaf, hee hee, automatic reaction I bopped it on its head - which it didn't like! Professor Sprout helped me clean my cut in some yellow liquid; which soothed the pain. While Sprout put a plaster of the Vampire grass leaf's head, I mean what's the deal with that. Looked well mad though!
Defence against the dark arts - WHAT is the deal with that teacher? You walk into the room and she's like "Wands away please!" I mean what's that all about it's a Defence against dark arts lesson; wands are a MUST! Silly moo. She had us reading some book, 'Defensive Magical Theory by Wilbert Slinkhard' that's the one. I mean what good is just reading 'Defensive Magical Theory' shouldn't we be practicing it?
I asked Ron what she did with his class before; and she did the same - although Harry freaked out apparently telling her that You-know-who is back, she gave him a weeks detention for telling the truth - wonder what you'd get for lying then.
Arithmancy - I don't really like this subject, all the equations are hard - make you think too much! Hee hee. But it's going to be good later on in life so yeah that's good.
Flying - that was good, one of my favourite lessons, we had to practice quick swerving in partners, I nearly hit the wall because of Luna was just floating around on her broom. But I made the swerve - just, and Madam Hooch gave me 5 points for it! WOO!
Charms - that was good too, Kevin Lake (* Own Character *) blew up the book he was working from, making us all jump. Flitwick put out the bit of fire with a simple water spell.
I can't believe how much homework I've got; it's only the first day and I have an assignment on Vampire Grass Leaves - and what they are used for, for Sprout. The effects on a freezing charm for Flitwick, and the ingredients and where would you find them for the shrinking potion.
I really should start on them, just thought I'd write in you first. So what's been going on? Well Harry freaked out on Umbridge - I told you that before, he also lost loads of points for Gryffindor which isn't going to please some people, I personally think it's points well lost if it gets one over her.
Everyone at dinner where being losers - saying things about Harry, calling him a liar and saying he was only saying all that stuff about you- know-who because he wanted attention. Harry, Ron and Hermione walked out of the hall not long after, poor Harry!
Hermione threatened Fred and George that she'd write home to Mother, telling her that they are testing their 'sweets' out on the first years, hee hee that certainly told them. And Hermione is making the house elves hats, she is so for S.P.E.W - I mean it's a good idea when it's in cases of how Dobby was, (* don't know if she knew about Dobby and the Malfoys??? But in this she does! *) Then yes it's a good thing but in cases where they have the choice of Holidays and getting Paid - but they don't want too, I don't think it's fair to push them!

Anyway diary, better start on this homework it's only going to grow otherwise.

Luv Ginny!
