3rd January (Saturday)

ITS SNOWING! Wahoo! I would be taking part in the snowball fight with Syma but she's STILL not talking to me. And to be perfectly honest, I'm not in the mood. I'm going to Hogsmeade with Cedric today. I've never actually been to Hogsmeade. Everyone, ok Mooney said, it's really good! That was when he was still talking to me obviously. Helen, Lucy, Clarissia and Lavinia all have dates for today but Clarissia and Helen are staying here. Ben Peters asked Helen out and she said yes. Clarissia's going out with his brother. Lucy and Lavinia haven't said who their going out with. Fingers crossed, its not Slytherins.

Later

Today was cool. Cedric took me to the Hogshead. It was really crowded but I didn't see Syma or the Marauders. YES! Result! We left and parted ways. I went down to the shrieking shack. It's supposed to be the most haunted place in Britain. COOL!

Even Later

Ok. I just saw Syma sneaking outside. I quickly followed her. What did you expect? I'm related to a Marauder. I caught up with her by the womping willow. "What are you doing?" Please remember this was like midnight so I was COLD. And there was A LOT of ice. The full moon shone down on us. "What does it look like I'm doing?" was the curt reply. "Well, it looks like you're sneaking out of the castle but you wouldn't be doing that, would you?" I said VERY sarcastically. She began to walk towards the willow. I followed her. "I know what you're thinking. Why can't Ellie take a hint? Well, I'm not leaving till you tell me what you're doing." "None of your business L- No I'm ashamed to call you Lupin." "You know who you sound like don't you?" "Who do I sound like?" "Your mother." She looked at me. I didn't quite understand her expression. "Never, in your insignificant little life, call me or my brother that again… Mudblood." I looked at her. "See." For a minute I thought she was going to hit me. But she didn't. "What did I ever do you Syma Black? I wouldn't go out with your brother. Big deal. I have my reasons. It would be like you going out with Snape." Ok she disappeared. Oh, she fell down a hole. Oh, she fell down a hole on purpose. The willow was frozen. I jumped after her.

Ah. Slight problem. I couldn't see her. Then I heard the howling. Something clicked in my brain. My brother. Full moon. Help?
