A/N: Hi!! Sorry for not writing in ages (for those who are reading this) there is no excuse I know. Jason dude, your review is the trigger for the chapter, I mean isn't it amazing how your 2 words can affect someone like this? Anyway, enough of this, here you are.

11th August

Days left until school: 21

(None of the others are worth doing any more thanks to the lack of owls)

So today I stayed at home. That's not to say that I didn't hang out with Simmy, au contraire I invited her to stay at home with me since I couldn't be bothered to go out in the record breaking heat. I mean even though I don't particularly pay all the loving care and attention to my skin as Parvati and Lavender do, I still have enough sense to stay out of the sun at these blistering temperatures.

So anyway, mum and dad went out for the day with Simmy's parents and so we were left alone to do as we pleased. Of course the fridge was freshly stocked with all the necessary food groups: pizza, chips, ice cream and of course the most important refined cocoa beans the handy form of chocolate. The only thing missing was a bunch of rowdy Gryffindors and a few Canary Creams!

'First I'll give you the grand tour of my house' I started with a rather interesting history of the front door, in the middle of which I was interrupted by a rather obviously exaggerated yawn. 'Fine fine, I can take a hint you know!' I said torn between irritation and amusement. I marched upstairs, with Simmy following me like a soldier as the staircase is pretty rickety and narrow, which I think is quite appropriate for a witch's house. Anyhow, we finally reached the top and I saw her eyes widen at the sudden sight of a rather spacious first floor, seeming to be about twice as large as the downstairs. I felt a small sneaky grin playing on my lips, laughing inwardly at Simmy's amazement and innocence.

I quickly went to the door straight in front of us, a soft creamy colour bordering on pink which my parents had insisted on. 'Welcome to my sanctum sanctorum' I announced, and then rather dramatically I twisted the smooth golden door knob and laid my innermost sanctuary out for her inspection. Again I saw her hardly able to conceal her confusion, for before her stood a room of proportions to rival a dormitory in Hogwarts. A four poster double bed stood in the middle of the wall opposite us, with a white net canapé hanging from ceiling to floor protecting it from intrusion. To the left there was a French window facing the garden and opening out to an old fashioned rounded balcony. But even I was always surprised at how it didn't look old and dingy but perfectly suited to the lake like pale aqua green of the walls and mostly silver furnishings. 'I'm impressed' she said 'how did you get it so lovely yet not overly girly?' 'Just some paint and a bit of luck I suppose'

Simmy moved towards my desk. Oh no! I saw some books lying open! What should I say? Luckily it happened to be my arithmancy book, looking like just a bunch of normal algebra equations in a maths textbook. Phew!

Oops! Sorry I have to go quickly! I didn't realize it was time for Friends already! I'll be back soon to finish off!
