You are all wonderful for reviewing and being so patient with that last chapter. (I was a bit disappointed with myself for it. Don't know why.) But back to Lily!
My Dilemma In the Common Room 7:00pm Sorry I haven't written is so long, I have been very busy. We are getting closer and closer to O.W.L.'s, which means I have to study like crazy, and enjoy time with my newly found BOYFRIEND! Okay, I have been his girlfriend for about two weeks, but it is still new. I can't wait until the ball (in three days!) My hair has grown just long enough for Aubrey to make a decent up-do.I only have 1 minor problem! I DON'T HAVE DRESS ROBES! I know what you are thinking journal: Wouldn't you know that you had no dress robes? Oh, but I didn't. I don't know how. But I am completely at a loss. There are no "good" dress robes available at Hogsmede (they only have the cheap ones at a second hand shop. I want to look nice, not hopelessly poor.) Sandra can't make a dress on such short notice! She is already stressed way too much, and she can't waste her precious time on me and my problems, but I will tell you more later.
The big deal is the fight with Kathleen and Aubrey. They have not cooled down, actually things have heated up. Aubrey decided to get Kathleen back. She stole "The List" and posted copies of it all over the school along with a description of what the list was. Kathleen got detention for a long time and had to write a long apology essay to every boy on the list, kissed or not kissed (McGonagall orders).
To repay Aubrey for her wonderful favor, (Kathleen was very mad, but that does not justify her action) during the night she came at Aubrey with scissors, it is lucky I woke up. She was going after poor Aubrey's hair. When I asked Kathleen about it later and she said that she wanted to make Aubrey have hair short like a boy's. I slapped her and yelled at her saying that she was insane and now, she's mad at me. Great, the last thing I wanted was for her to come after me with scissors.
But the two girls were required to stay away from each other for the rest of the year. Kathleen was moved to the Huffelpuff house and the password was changed in the Gryffindor tower. Now it is "Alohamora". Which is very predictable, but you never know with the Fat Lady. I can never talk to Kathleen anymore. She is always with her new Friends in Huffelpuff.
But I am fine because I have Christopher. I need to find a solution to my dress robe problem.
Lily
In Potions9:30 am
Well I think I have solution for my dress robe problem. I am going to get permission to go to Hogsmede and buy a secondhand dress. Then I will let Sandra do alterations. She agreed because she wants me to look good for my admirer. I told her about the entire thing and she thinks it I the sweetest thing in the world.
Do you remember how I had a charm on here that shocks people when they touch you? And how I took it off so that it wouldn't shock Aubrey when she took you away from me so I wouldn't be distracted? Well I haven't put that charm back on yet and I am not sure if I will. Aubrey is always gone with Sirius proving that she is not "a tramp like that horrible other girl" and Kathleen is not even in Gryffindor anymore. Sandra is so sweet she wouldn't even think about peeking. So I think we're safe.
I can't write a lot now because I am in potions and Slughorn is coming around to check all of our potions.

In the Three Broomsticks7:00 pm
Professor Slughorn is with me here at Hogsmede to buy my dress. So now he is up talking with Madame Rosmerta getting us some drinks. I bought a dress it is a dark silky purple floor length dress. It is pretty boring but I bought fabric that looks very much like this one and some lace. That's what Sandra asked me to buy. So now I am going to bring this home and let her work her magic.
Oh my goodness, Kathleen makes me so mad! I was eating lunch in the Great Hall after potions and she purposefully rammed her elbow into my head and said "it's the b's best friend!" then walked off. I wouldn't have been so mad if she hadn't called Aubrey a b! (I don't like to call people that so I will not even write it.) So now it is WAR!
I have a Huffelpuff Boyfriend and friends on my side that I have had since I was in 1st year. I am going to get her. No one calls my friends bes! I know that you may think I am stupid but that is the way it is going to be.
Well I think I am going to do something at the Ball. Depending on how much she continues to do this. Right now I am set going to trip her multiple times during the dance. Not a horrible punishment, but it will work for now. She would be horribly embarrassed. I've heard her bragging about her coveted dancing skills to Jon.
I am going to talk about it to Aubrey and Sandra tonight. Aubrey may not agree with me defending her but she has reasons to embarrass her. Slughorn is coming back. I am going to stop. More later if I have time.
Lily
In the Common Room11:00 pm
I talked to Sandra about it and she seriously didn't understand. She called Kathleen a B and said that now I'd have to embarrass her. So she wasn't exactly supportive. I told Aubrey and she said she only wanted to embarrass Kathleen so that Kathleen will fall on her face after in front of all of her boys on the list.
But I am writing to say that I can't write for a while because O.W.L.'s are coming and I need to study. I may give a brief explanation of the Ball but I probably will not write until my O.W.L.'s are finished. I am afraid of failing and not getting a job when I am out of school.
Lily.
And Like Lily I will not write much more because I have exams and I want to do well and get into a good College. So you will have a bit of time without me writing, but you will get a wonderful description of the ball, (That is the next Entry!)
