Day Five:
(Camilla Blue)
My, I haven't explained about the social layout of Hogwarts yet, have I? Well, let me do that. I don't know much about the first and second and third years, but the fourth-fifth-sixth-seventh years are sorted into various divisive little cliques, some of which I've learned about from my time hanging out with Cho's (now former) boyfriend Harry and his friends, some of whom (like Ginny Weasley) are fourth-years and some of whom (like Harry himself) are fifth-years. Obviously I know about the sixth-years because I am one; and I learn about the seventh-years mostly by watching and observing. Some kids belong to more than one group, some are "drifters", and some kids don't have any group at all.
In every house, there are ten girls of various years who are the "cheerleaders". In Gryffindor, that's Emma Dobbs, Natalie McDonald, Trixie Tompkins, Evelyn Trevelyn, Parvati Patil, Lavender Brown, Jasmine Howell, Georgina Glasgow, Bethany Hazard, and Ruby Skeffington. As a general rule, Gryffindor cheerleaders are perky and bubbly and people love them. In Ravenclaw, the cheerleaders are Charlotte Ainsworth, Elena Abercrombie, Ambrosia Landry, Aemilia Jenston, Rhyssa Scarborough, Daphne Greengrass, Mandy Brocklehurst, Padma Patil, Jade Meringue, and Phoebe Tilks. Ravenclaw cheerleaders tend more towards the serious side. In Hufflepuff, the cheerleaders are Rose Zeller, Laura Madley, Eleanor Branstone, Mimi Katt, Claire Spott, Alexandra Morgan, Libby Roderick, Susan Bones, Hannah Abbott, and Janinah Pillow. The Hufflepuff cheerleaders are even bubblier than the Gryffindors, and rather ditsy. And in Slytherin, the house of evil and evilest, the cheerleaders are Drucilla Pann, Miranda Shoppe, Farrah Yoinks, Natasha Colburn, Pansy Parkinson, Gina Dublin, Nancy Peach, Madeleine Cook, and Yvette Tomato. They are, with the exception of Gina who should not be a Slytherin, evil beyond reason. The cheerleaders are popular and they represent the most traditional character traits of the house they are from.
In close relation with the cheerleaders are the Quidditch players. I won't list them, there are too many and I don't know all their names cause they change so often, but they are also all pretty popular and teachers as a general rule like them because they are nice and athletic and such. Cho plays Quidditch; so does her (former) boyfriend Harry. Harry's often brought the entire Gryffindor Quidditch team (that's Harry, Angelina Johnson, Alicia Spinnet, Katie Bell, Fred Weasley, George Weasley, and Ginny Weasley) to little study- groups that Cho and Marietta and I organize; some of them seem incapable of travelling without each other.
Of course, like at any school, there are just regular popular kids too. There are various divisions of them, for different years and houses and such; some of the cheerleaders and Quidditch players are "popular kids". In sixth-year, there's a particular group of kids who are "popular". Ringled by the flirty February Pillow (twin sister to Hufflepuff cheerleader Janinah Pillow), this group also consists of the ditsy Babette Brighton, Christa's twin sister and style maven Chrystena Juniper, rebel- cool Trina Mattock, Quidditch-playing boys Zacharias Smith and Michael Corner, and various other boys who come and go, all of whom are in Hufflepuff. Cho and Marietta sometimes go drift with this crowd; Cho is quite good friends with them really.
Another group is the Divination freaks; twins Parvati and Padma Patil and their friends Jasmine Howell and Lavender Brown. All of them are fifth- years and cheerleaders; Padma is Ravenclaw and the rest are Gryffindor. They about worship the ground Trelawney walks on; why I can't quite understand...
Harry Potter's clique is one of the bigger ones in school. With Harry as the central figure, membership tends to fluctuate depending on the circumstances. Charter members are Harry's best friends Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley, Gryffindor fifth-years; Ron's fourth-year sister Ginny and seventh-year twin brothers Fred and George are also prominent. Hermione's friend Ravenna Carmichael (a Gryffindor) and Harry and Ron's friends Dean Thomas, Neville Longbottom, and Seamus Finnegan are sometimes present, and Ginny's Ravenclaw friend Luna Lovegood (who some call Loony Lovegood) often appears too. Actually come to think of it Cho and Marietta float with this crowd sometimes too...
Tho they float with several crowds, Cho Chang and Marietta Edgecombe are at the centre of their own clique. Astor Spinnet (younger brother of Gryffindor Quidditch Chaser Alicia Spinnet and sixth-year Gryffindor), Astor's Ravenclaw sixth-year girlfriend Ginger Kingston, eclectic Gryffindor sixth-years Tree Branch and Candy Cane, Ashlyn Davies (younger sister of former Ravenclaw Quidditch captain Roger Davies and sixth-year Gryffindor and one of my best friends), Christa Juniper (sixth-year Ravenclaw and one of my best friends), and I, Camilla Blue, sixth year Ravenclaw, are the other members of this group. All of us sixth-years (except if Cho brings Harry to visit), all of us Ravenclaws or Gryffindors. As a general rule this group is very happy and involved in the world around us. Some of us (like Astor and Ginger and Tree) are pure of thought; some of us (like Cho and Ashlyn and Christa and I) aren't quite so much.
The other group I belong to consists of a bunch of opinionated diverse crazy sixth-years. Christa floats from group to group with me; coincidentally she is also with this group. Renée Talbot (a Hufflepuff), Mary Jane (a Hufflepuff), Kitty McLollipop – tho we all call her Lolly (a Ravenclaw), Tranquility Waugh (a Ravenclaw), Chrysanthemum McDonald – Natalie the Gryffindor cheerleader's older sister (a Hufflepuff), and the only boy, William Brown – Lavender's older brother (a Hufflepuff). All of us fun and quite weird...
It's funny how oblivious Professor Vector is to the fact I'm writing this. Either that, or he just doesn't care. We have been reviewing the same exact stuff for two or three weeks now. Thank god the exam is Friday. Then we can learn new stuff! Yay! How exciting!
(Cho Chang)
Wow! I am soooo over everything. It's great. I LOVE IT. I also love the Muggle film School of Rock.
(Lolly McLollipop)
Men are oblivious to the obvious. Like cramps and having your period. I know that William pretends to have cramps and then joins the girls in cramp relieving stretches. I get mad at him when he does this.
1) He isn't having cramps.
2) He doesn't have the added excessive bleeding.
I felt like mentioning this burst of anger as I am CMS-ing (Constant Menstrual Syndrome). Camilla came up with that.
I hate men at this time of the month.
Damn them to hell.
But then again, without them, all of mankind would die out. Psh. Who needs mankind? Not the poor environment that is constantly being paved over for our convenience.
The world is messed up.
(Camilla Blue)
Yes! I completely agree. Men should go to hell. So should the Easter Bunny...
(Lolly McLollipop)
The Easter Bunny gives us chocolate though! And right now I love him/her/my mother because my period would seem less horrible with some of the truffles I got.
(Cho Chang)
Ok, I return, and I still love School of Rock. Read between the lines! Sorry, that was random. Oh well. We are random people. Marietta and Hermione and Harry and I were talking about incest during lunch. It was funny. It was great, and Harry was like ewww!
(Lolly McLollipop)
Patrick (freaky blue eyed boy) should DIE!
(Camilla Blue)
Hah. Incest is funny. Well, the word "incest" is. And "incestuous" too.
(Ashlyn Davies)
Grr... I hate periods... period! I was doing a spread-eagle in the common room for no reason, and people were all around. So I didn't know that my period's red little, no, big head decided to read up. I'm pissed at the damn gods who gave women periods. And it's my god-damn birthday!
(Katie Bell)
He he! :-)
(Ashlyn Davies)
Men are assholes... GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.
(Camilla Blue)
Wow, this whole Glittery Notebook of Angst and Truth idea is catching on... so far, Cho, Ashlyn, Lolly, and Katie have written in it. Though Katie didn't really write much, did she?
I hate to admit it, but I like the song "Touch-a-Touch-a-Touch Me" from Rocky Horror. I think it is funny. Plus I just like it for strange unknown reasons. The first time I heard it, I just sat there going What. The. Heck? But it sort of grew on me. Mainly cause I think it's funny. Once Christa and I were watching Rocky Horror together, it was over summer holiday, and when that part came on Christa pretended to dry her hair (well, she was really drying her hair, but it was already dry) and I put on my Mickey Mouse ears that I bought when we went to Disneyland and I painted her toenails red. It was great fun. Christa and I are very Magenta and Columbia. She is Magenta, I am Columbia. It works out quite nicely. That is just the way we act, and we like it.
Yum. I love cookies. I just ate a sugar cookie with Easter sprinkles from the package my parents owled me and it was very yummy. It was also very happy looking. Pastel bunny sprinkles. Enough said. Hmm... now I want another cookie...
You know what else I love? I love the Beatles. They're a Muggle band from the 1960's. They are just so good. They have all these gorgeous songs that just make me melt when I hear them. Some of my favourites are "Norwegian Wood", "Across the Universe", "Girl", "In My Life", "Michelle", "She Said She Said", and "Eleanor Rigby". Just beautiful.
