I haven't written in a couple of day because I've been getting all my homework done. After lots of hours in the library (and lots of help from Hermione), I finally got it all finished.
I did find a large enough envelope for that hex for "Gred and Forge", and I sent it. I should be getting a reply any day now. I can't wait to hear what they've got to say to that.
I told Harry and Ron what I was going to do when they saw me in Hogsmeade looking for envelopes (I'll write about it later). They were laughing so hard that they had tears in their eyes.
"Typical Ginny" Ron said. It was really good to see Harry laughing. He hasn't done that for ages, except he smiled when I received my Howler. I guess it was pretty funny...for them.
About that Hogsmeade trip, the first one was yesterday. I went with my new friends, Juliet, Lori and Anne. We had a blast. All my pocket money is gone. (part of it because of that huge envelope). We went to the Three Broomsticks, Zonko's, Gladrag's Wizardwear, Honeydukes...almost every store on that street. While the others were looking at clothes in Gladrag's, I went to the post office to get that envelope. I met Harry and Ron there (Hermione was too busy asking information about sending a letter to Krum, said a grumpy looking Ron). Anyway, they said they were going to start the D.A. again, and I said I'd participate. With Tom back, we have to be as prepared as possible, and who is a better teacher than Harry? Harry said they were going to tell the other former members and meet next Hogsmeade trip. I better not forget.
I bought the envelope and went back to my friends in Gladrag's. They were still there, looking at the socks.
Filch is as unpleasant as usual, but now he seems even more leering, and he keeps muttering that with Umbridge gone, everything has gone downhill again. He still thinks Umbridge was the 'best thing that ever happened to Hogwarts'. I'd say she was the worst, but that's my opinion...and the rest of the school's. When we walked past him he grunted and stared at everybody, making them squirm under his gaze. Ugh! I don't know why we have Filch as caretaker. Can't we have someone nicer?
It seems to me Dumbledore thinks that unpleasant people will do Hogwarts some good. That's twice a no-no. Snape and Filch. Not good, not good at all. Snape is still in the staring-at-the-ceiling-habit. When Colin's potion exploded, all he said was "Be careful, Creevey. There is a rag, clean the mess up" without even looking up! Strange, isn't it. Very strange.
Today was Sunday, so I didn't do much, only made my Charms essay and practiced Vanishing Spells. I managed to Vanish a cockroach that was behind the closet. That certainly is an improvement. In Vanishing Spells and in hygiene.
I have been (and am now) in a very good mood because nothing bad has happened to me these last few days.
I take that back. I was jumping on the bed just now, and my inkbottle overturned, and now my nightdress is covered in ink. Everything seems to happen to me, doesn't it?

Thanks you for the reviews!!!
ElizabethMM: Thank you so much! I really appreciate it! I'm glad you like this story.
Emerald Dream 1: Thanks! I know that Ginny should know their names, but she hasn't really spoken to them since her first year, and now she isn't certain anymore about what their names really are. She doesn't really communicate with them. Thanks for reviewing! I'm glad you liked the Howler.
Sarahamanda: Thank you. I certainly will continue writing. Keep reviewing!
