Saturday 12th December Common room

6.05 pm

It was Hogsmeade today. So we all had a wonderful excuse to escape from the ultimate place of boredom that is Hogwarts.

It was actually quite fun. Gasp! But that's only because we weren't stuck in school all day.

We had to wear all gloves and scarves and stuff because it was freezing out. It actually snows here in winter, you know. It's bloody nuts.

Anyway, thanks to my commendably lucky luck (not) I lost one of my gloves. Evidently my friends don't understand the phrase 'patience is a virtue' since they wouldn't let me stop to look for it. Therefore I had to wear one glove on both hands. Very cosy, but it makes it hard to use your hands…

We went to the three broomsticks and out of curiosity I decided to see if I could pick up my butterbeer with my elbows. No luck. After nearly spilling it all down my groovy Doctor Who scarf I got the point and decided to give up.

We sat in the three broomsticks for a while. Just drinking butterbeer and trying to figure out which people were gay then we went out and sang funky muggle songs really loud. Sadly we had to stop when a teacher gave us the evil eye. So just we danced instead.

I wonder how many weird looks we've gotten in our time as friends. Probably too many to count, never mind remember.

Good times.

Before we went back to the castle we went to see Fitness, the lad we're stalking. He works at Zonkos and is absolutely gorgeous. We dared each other to go and talk to him for a bit until we got kicked out for sitting in the isles and sniffing the smelly ink (coconut flavour- ick!!!) when we weren't actually buying anything.

Then, sadly, it was time to go back to school.

I made friends with a first year boy in the carriage though. His name's David and he's so cute. He's really tiny and he looks like he's only seven but he's really eleven. Bless his little cotton socks.

8.20 pm

I swear this school is bonkers!

McGonagall has come in twice this evening to complain about noise levels -She says she can't hear herself think. I fail to see what's so bad about that though. Who would want to listen to that loony old brain all day? If I were her (thank goodness I'm not) I think I'd want a break from that little voice in her head that's going, 'go on, make that kid miserable. You know you want to,' once in a while.

Anyway, she came in and complained for a while but didn't even notice that half the furniture is missing after last night's fiasco (We had to attempt to hide the evidence). The walls are even a bit black in places (I'm telling you, charms homework is dangerous).

It was way weird.

In other news (even weirder news at that), we were trying to chance the walls back to their normal colour when James Potter came over to us. We just stared at him like he was bonkers (because he is) for a bit. We were surprised that he'd actually acknowledged our existence to tell the truth. It's not that we're boring or anything like that (we're just bored that's all) I mean, how many boring people have a day like we've just had? No, it's that we're too interesting for everyone. They're just jealous.

So when James came over it was all a bit strange really. With him never having noticed us before and all. Well we've never blown the common room up before either so, you know…

He looked around for a bit then went, "So is this you're doing then?"

Nat replied that she was, indeed, the cause of all the hullabaloo (actually 'hullabaloo' is a bit of an overstatement since no one was really bothered by it all) and then James looked at us all and went, "Cool."

Then, like the big loon he is, he just walked off.

We all stared after him.

What had been the need in that?

I'm sure I've mentioned it a million times but he is strange.

My Dorm

9.15 pm

Perhaps McGonagall did notice the blowing up of the common room and James got blamed for it.

He's probably gone and grassed us in so that he doesn't get in trouble.

What a loser.

9.20 pm

Ooh I am mad.

10.00 pm

Nat thinks he was just being friendly for some anomalous reason, but that just brings us back to the whole 'Qu'est-ce que le point?' thing. When I told her how silly she was being she just told me to shut up and stop being so cynical all the time.

I stared at her, this was one of my best friends talking to me here, and she didn't even know that I'm about as whatever the opposite of cynical is as they come. Is that even the correct use of the word anyway? I don't know. Which brings us on to another subject, "Where on earth did you learn a word like cynical?"

"Oh shut up!" was her witty comeback.

So now it seems I have two mysteries on my hands: the James thing and the sudden expansion of Nat's vocabulary.

How exciting.

Sunday 13th December Common room

10.00 am

Some fruit has gone and fixed the walls. Now we've got nothing to work on in our spare time (i.e. all the time. We don't have lives remember?).

Oh well, as the saying goes: when bored, eat.

Mmm Chocolate…

Kitchens Munching on chocolate

10.45 am

James and Sirius came to the kitchens. And they spoke to us. Again. Well technically Sirius hasn't spoken to us before so it can't really be again… but still…

I haven't figured out what this is all about yet either. Since they spoke us again it can't be the grassing us in thing. So what?

Sirius said, "So is this how it's gonna be now? The secrets of Hogwarts are no longer ours alone to keep?"

I ignored the question and asked, "Do these secrets make life here more interesting by any chance?"

James looked at me kind of questioningly while Sirius looked bitter.

"Cheer up Padfoot," James said, turning back to his friend, "It won't be that bad."

"Yeah," I interrupted with a smile, "us social rejects aren't all that bad."

James gave me another funny look.

He's doing that a lot, isn't he?

I wonder if I've got something on my face…

A/N: Yayness, I actually got reviews! And to contradict my earlier comment on snow it's just started snowing a bit too. How weird is that? Anyway I shall now reply to all my magnificent reviewers…

Milka-Weasley: Thanks. I've never read Bridget Jones though. I'm sure it's brill. After all, the first film is (I haven't seen the second one). Anyway, I'm glad you like my story.

Juls130: I don't quite get what you meant in this review but the only reason it's going so fast is because I don't want to put loads of detail into the boring bits. Nobody would want to read it. But anything that is important to the plot will be done in detail. Thanks for the review!

My Divinest: Wowzers! Thanks, I'm glad you like it.

Taintless: Merci boucoup!

RebelWriter: Yay, I think I might have got my sence of humour back! Who knows? I'll try writing more of ESFTLB later. Thanks for the review!

Mello80: Hello again! Sorry about not writing a sequel to my other fic I just don't have a clue what to write. Same goes for the epilogue. Anyway, this is better than nothing, isn't it? And you should write that fic, what have you got to lose? Thanks for reviewing.

Lady of Masbole: Same thing that I said to Mello80 about my other fic. And thanks, I'm glad you like it.

erak: It was those books that inspired me to write this. They're a work of genius aren't they? Anyway, no prob about hat fic, it sounds good I shall have to read it. Thanks for reviewing.

Now, some nice long reviews would be cool. But if you can't be bothered then just let me know you've read it. Thanks!
