DAN! How are you? It feels like I haven't written in forever. Well, I had my detention with Ginny and Draco and Flint the other day. That was interesting. I asked Draco if he understood the meaning of Pothead and he did. Creepy, huh. He even went so far as to admit that he likes muggle movies more than ours! It's just so weird because in school it was all 'I hate muggles, muggles should die. Mudbloods are stupid' and crap like that and now, one year later, he's like 'muggle movies are cooler than ours'. Well, at least I wasn't the only one surprised by that. Gin and Flint both stopped their cleaning to stare at him like he was insane. Although, he probably is.

I really do think that he's going insane. He owled me the other day to ask if I knew anyone who spoke Spanish. Can you say random? I mean, that's like me just randomly walking up to Moldy Voldy and being like 'Hi! I know I despise you and vice versa and one of us must kill the other etc. but I was just wondering if you happened to know anyone that speaks French.' I mean, what the hell!

Good Lord. I just read what I had written. Can you picture that happening? That would be hilarious! If I did that he would probably keel over from the shock and die. He's not exactly the youngest guy in the world. Dumbledore's older, but Voldy almost died and Dumbledore has been pretty safe so far. Hey, that's a pretty good plan to get rid of him. If I did that then he would probably be so shocked that I could bump him off. I don't want to be a murderer though.

Life sucks. Actually, while I was in America for a couple of weeks before heading to The Burrow earlier I saw this poster thingy that says 'Life's a bitch, then you die.' I found that pretty funny. America's a really nice country. Every one there is so unique. Muggle America and Magical America are almost mixed. There are plenty of television shows and computer things that have to do with magic, and there are some out there who aren't overly shy about being witches. I'm not sure they're all witches or wizards though. A bunch of them follow the Wiccan religion.

America had all of these special poster things that were really neat with these sayings on them. One said 'I respect your opinion, I just think it's stupid.' I'm going to make a list of the funny ones.

Sorry, it's not my day to care. Gee, I'd like to care, but I don't possess that gene. Do I look like a freakin' people person? I'm not good at empathy, will you settle for sarcasm? I'm trying to see things your way, but I can't get my head up my butt. Tell me, where is this bright side you speak of? Well, beat me senseless and call me happy. Believe what you want and shut the hell up. Honk if you do everything your told. I'm not cynical, everything just sucks.

There were so many more, I can't remember them all.

Sorry for the pause there, I got an owl from Gin. She's one smart girl. She had already figured out if I had gotten threats from her brothers about boys and she was wondering what it would cost to bribe me to forget them. She thinks it's random that Malfoy wants to learn Spanish too. So much for Pig's instructions to wait for a response. He just flew out my window. I can see why Ron decided to buy a new owl and give that one to Gin. I have to write her back now, so I'll write to you later. Bye Dan.

AUTHOR'S NOTE: hey y'all. Tehehe. That reminded me of the Gretchen Wilson song, redneck woman. Listen to it. You can watch the video at So, I'm feeling like Ron at the moment. There are spiders invading the computer room. I'm just sitting here trying to type and the spiders are jumping out at me! Eeks. I need more people to tell me if they like Derek or not. I got one vote yes and one vote no. The yes was an only when necessary. So, please tell me. You're writing a review anyway (hopefully) so just add a yes or a no. Please?

SeraphStar: I'm glad that you liked it. Japanese sounds interesting, but hard to learn. Some of my friends are like obsessed with anime and one of them is trying to learn Japanese on her own. It just looks so hard. Thanks for reviewing.

Cinder2004: Thank you for telling me your thoughts on the Derek issue. Sorry there is no Draco in this chapter. Thanks for reviewing!

Dorthey Star: Once again no drunk and giggling Draco, but there is some Draco. I know what you mean about the talking dictionary thing. Next year I get to take Spanish IV, which is college level Spanish I. I'm worried I'm going to die. Hopefully I won't. Thanks for reviewing.

xnishax08: I'm glad that you're hooked and that you like the "great chapters". So, I'm a pretty curious person...what's it like living in Texas? Hot? I don't think I could stand it. I like the cold New York winters and the cool falls/springs.

Unknown-Ruler: Thank you very much for telling me what you think about the Derek thing. They're not together in this chapter. Sorry if it's moving kinda slowly. Thank you for reviewing!

DISCLAIMER: Harry Potter stuff isn't mine. The bumper stickers came from There were a couple Harry Potter ones there like 'Hogwarts Dropout', 'What would Harry do', and 'Have you hugged your potions master today'.
