Halloween today. Or 'All Hallows Eve', as it was originally called by the Pagans before it was changed to Halloween.
See how smart I am?
I much prefer All Hallows Eve. It sounds so…mystical.
Anywayz, as usual we are having a huge feast tonight to celebrate it. Complete with seriously creepy stuff like those lighted pumpkins and skeleton heads all floating around. The food is delish, though. Apples and toffee apples and pumpkins and chocolates and lollies as well as the usual dinner.
10:12am, Muggle Studies
Last night I had my first detention with Sirius. We had to clean all of the trophies in the Trophy Room without magic.
How cool would it be if we could do magic without a wand? I mean, technically we can. Like some lucky people can make others blow up when they're angry.
Anyway, stupid Filch and his equally stupid cat, Mrs. Norris, supervised us the whole time so we couldn't chat or anything. Filch kept muttering about ungrateful students and various punishments like hanging us by our ankles over the lake and the giant squid, or getting the whips out.
Geez, he's morbid isn't he?
So detention was incredibly boring, pointless and annoying. It went from 7:00 to 9:00. After that, Sirius took me to the kitchens and we ate sandwiches.
That totally made the detention worth it.
Mcgonagall said something about us helping Professor Kettleburn to clean out the Bowtruckle cages tomorrow night.
Ugh.
11:41pm, Girls Dormitories
Detention was boring. The feast was yummy.
Nothing exciting happened.
This world is such a dull place.
Friday 1st November, 7:11am, Girls Dormitories
I just had a dream about Snape running around the Trophy Room wearing Mcgonagalls glasses and hat while being struck repeatedly over the head by James's Nimbus.
It was hilarious.
7:41am
Ugh. Today I have to face Snape again.
Can someone please Avada me?
2:14pm, Potions
Tristan is acting quite unusual today. He seems sort of, distant.
Oh, and he asked me if I was in love with Sirius.
I said that I wasn't. And I guess he believed me, because he dropped the subject.
This has something to do with Snape, I'm sure of it.
The slimy git.
And he actually has slimy hair. Okay, not slimy. It's greasy to the point that you'd probably be able to see your reflection it. And he has an abnormally large nose.
5:13pm, Gryffindor Tower
Well, I told Snape that as far as I knew, Remus was not a werewolf. I fed him the whole story about following him with Julez's Invisibility Cloak and seeing him go through the fire. And I also added that Mcgonagall said to tell his mother that she hopes she is feeling a bit better.
Snape fixed me with a glare. "Very well," he said. "But now you must also do something for me. You must take your friend's Invisibility Cloak and give it to me."
Well naturally I was shocked. "I can't do that," I protested. "It belongs to her mother."
"Well then, I guess your little relationship with your little boyfriend will be over very soon."
He is 100 per cent pure evil. I am sure of it.
So I eventually agreed and he left me alone. BUT I WILL NOT DO IT.
How am I going to get out of it, though?
9:15pm, Girls Dormitories
Well, on the bright side, I have detention with Sirius.
Sigh.
Yet another chance for me to be around him.
See? We are so meant to be together.
9:19pm
Evelyn Black.That actually goes quite nicely together. It looks and sounds perfect.
Mrs. Sirius Black.
Can you just imagine? Like, letters and things addressed to 'Mrs. Sirius Black'.
Mrs. BlackUh…apart from the fact that it reminds me too much of his mother (who is am evil cow), it looks so professional.
Isabelle Black.
If I had a daughter, I would call her Isabelle. 'Isabelle Black' does have a nice ring to it.
Justin Black.
Justin is such a nice name for a boy. And it goes very nicely with 'Black'.
Sirius, Evelyn, Isabelle and Justin.
That looks perfect.
9:32pm
I think I had too many Fizzing Wizzbees.
Just completely disregard that last entry.
I am insane.
Saturday 2nd November, Girls Dormitories, 5:11pm
Well.
That's all I have to say.
I can't think straight. I am so overcome by shock and happiness.
I suppose you want to know what happened, right? Well, since I am in such a generous mood, I will not hesitate to tell you everything.
It all started this morning after breakfast. I was just causally making my way towards Gryffindor Tower, when Tristan approached me.
"Evelyn," he started. "Can you meet me down at the lake at about 12:30? I need to talk to you."
I agreed to meet him, of course, completely unaware of what was about to happen.
When I got down there, he was already waiting. He said 'hi' when he saw me, but didn't kiss or hug me like he usually does, which I thought to be rather strange.
"Evelyn, you know that I appreciate you very much as a person?" he asked me tentatively.
"Yeah…" I said slowly, trying to figure out where he was going with this.
"Well, do you think that things have been a bit, weird between us lately?" he continued.
"Uh…kind of," I answered.
"Yeah, I think so too," he said. "And that's why I think that it would be best for us to, um, break up."
My head snapped up immediately. I hardly dared to believe it. It was almost too good to be true.
"Huh?" I said, not very brightly.
"Well don't you think it would be for the best?" he asked me. "I mean, the connection between us is obviously lost. But that doesn't mean we can't still be friends, right? I think it would be better for us to be just friends, actually."
"Yeah, I agree," I managed to get out.
He looked surprised for a moment. Then he smiled. "I knew you'd understand, Evelyn," he said. Then he kissed me on the cheek. "See you 'round, then."
"Yeah, see you," I stammered dazedly. Then he walked off.
I can't believe it. It turns out I don't have to break up with him because he broke up with me! This is so fantastic.
Now I can go back to obsessing over Sirius without feeling guilty!
Monday 4th November, 8:09am, Great Hall
I enjoy being single.
Though a lot of girls have hounded me about what happened with Tristan until they were blue in the face.
Stupid Snape is over at the Slytherin table, eating eggs. ARGH. How I despise him…
8:21am
Have just realised that he is probably going to tell Sirius what I wrote about him in my diary. Unless I actually get him Julez's Invisibility Cloak.
Why does she even have one? They're like, really rare.
Thanks Julez. Thanks a lot.
8:45am, Gryffindor Tower
I am actually quite frightened of Snape. Like, you never know what he could do. He does have a particular interest in the Dark Arts, after all. I bet he'll end up being one of those followers of that Lord Voldey-guy who has started terrorising the wizarding world.
But it is nothing to be worried about. At least that's what the Ministry says. Spokespeople for the Ministry have predicted that this whole situation with Voldey-whatever will be similar to the situation with the dark wizard, Grindelwald.
And Dumbledore defeated him in a bang anyway.
Therefore, as long as Dumbledore doesn't croak anytime soon, the wizarding world is perfectly safe.
I am such a scaredy-cat. I am scared of a greasy-haired long-nosed pipsqueak.
8:51am
No, I am not scared of him. I am a Gryffindor, and I am brave.
8:53am
Haha. Yeah, right.
9:15pm, Gryffindor Tower
YYYOOOOOUUUUUUU AAAARRREEEEEEEEEE SOOOOOOOOOOOOO BEEEAAAUUUTTTIIFFFUUULLLLLLLLLL!!! TOOOOOOOOOOOOO MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! CAAAAAAAAAAAAAANTTT YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUU SEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE?
Hehe.
Haha.
Heha.
Hahe.
9:18pm
I am on a sugar high due to those stupid sugar quills. I ate about a dozen.
Big mistake, as Julez put it.
Her and Lily are trying to ignore me until I go back to normal.
9:21pm
OHMYGOD. DID YOU SEE THAT FAIRY FLYING ACROSS THE ROOM?
So bright and pretty. And tiny.
UNICRONS!!! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
I spelt it wrong!!! UNICRONS!!! Hahahaha how funny does that look?
9:25pm
THE HILLS ARE ALIIIIVEEEEEE WITH THE SOUND OF MUUUUSIIIIC!!!
That doesn't even make sense. How can hills be alive?
It probably has this whole metaphorical thing behind it.
Uh...
9:33pm
This is so unfair.
I am not allowed to eat anything with sugar in it anymore. Lily and Julez are so not my friends.
So I am sitting here sulking, trying to get them to feel sorry for me.
Doesn't seem to be working though.
Well, I can already feel the sugar high wearing off.
10:11pm, Girls Dorms
I am so weird.
Tuesday 5th November, 3:01am, Girls Dorms
Just had an incredibly weird dream. Again.
I was riding around the Hogwarts grounds on the back of a unicorn. And I was standing up.
And then me and Sirius got married and I was pregnant with twins and Snape was going to be the godfather.
And my cat turned into a frog and married Julez.
And James and Lily ended up being brother and sister, Remus turned into a girl and Peter kept walking up to the Whomping Willow and kissing it.
3:04am
What the hell goes on in my head?
3:05am
Insanity, that's what.
8:06am, Great Hall
Tristan's friends are glaring at me.
I didn't even do anything.
HE broke up with me.
But I guess they all expect me to be holed up in my room crying over my poor broken heart.
Pffft. They're insane.
Thursday 7th November, 9:08pm, Girls Dorms
Just got back from detention with Sirius.
We had to put away books in the library. Madame Pince had us running all over the library.
Seriously. One book belonged in the 'magical creatures' section, the next one belonged to 'history of magic'. And they are on opposite sides of the library.
I bet she mixed up the books on purpose to get me back for that one time when I accidentally spilt pumpkin juice on a library book in the library.
She went ballistic. Totally bonkers.
Cringe.
It was scary.
Me and Sirius got to talk though, because Madame Pince was in her office.
About 20 minutes into the detention, we both realised that we had our wands. So Sirius used his wand to put the books back.
I attempted to, but it didn't work. The book sort of rose halfway into the air, hovered for a few seconds and then dropped back onto the table with a soft thud.
I am hopeless.
Poor Sirius tried to teach me, but I just couldn't get it. Even first years could do it! And I am meant to be good at Charms.
I don't know what's wrong with me. My grades are all over the place. The only subject I am not struggling in is Care of Magical Creatures.
There are only seven people in the whole class. Including me.
Uh…yeah.
Well Sirius gave up on trying to teach me after a while. I don't blame him. He probably thinks I am pathetic.
Sigh.
Friday 8th November, 8:09am, Great Hall
I have decided that I am going to stand up to Snape. Once and for all.
I will show him that he cannot bully me.
I am a Gryffindor, and I am brave.
8:12am
That so didn't sound convincing.
ARGH. Why me?
6:13pm, Great Hall
I did it. I DID IT.
IDIDITIDIDITIDIDITIDIDITIDIDITIDIDIT!!!!!!!!!!
I stood up to Severus Snape.
You wanna know what I said?
Hehe.
I said; "You can try and bully me with your arrogant attitude and your stupid sneers and your abnormally large nose. And I don't even care that you could Avada me in a flash cos' you're into the Dark Arts and everything. The point is, I am sick and tired of you and your stupid games. How dare you try and blackmail me, you insufferable prat. No one screws around with me and gets away with it. You can say whatever you want; tell the whole world what you have found out. I don't care. I have nothing to hide."
And at the last minute I added; "Oh, and you might want to wash your hair."
It felt so good. Standing up for myself like that. I have never done it before.
But the only thing is, I was in the hallway surrounded by people. And naturally, since everyone is so damn nosy, they all stopped too listen. And I was so absorbed in what I was saying, that I didn't notice.
And once I had finished, everyone burst into applause and started chatting amongst themselves.
And Sirius came up to me and said he was 'proud of me for telling off Snape'.
And then. THEN.
OHMYGOD I CAN BARELY WRITE.
He hugged me! HE HUGGED ME!
And James, Remus and Peter came up to me and congratulated me. And Lily are Julez were like; "What the…"
They are so going to interrogate me tonight.
But I don't care.
BECAUSE HE HUGGED ME.
I just hope Marietta doesn't find out. She would so kill me. Literally.
But I don't care.
Well, I do.
AAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!
9:17pm, Girls Dorms
Lily and Julez were livid when they found out about Snape blackmailing me. They wanted to go and hex him right now.
Well. Julez did. Since Lily is such a goody-goody and all, she wanted to go and tell Mcgonagall.
I talked her out of it, though.
Life is so fantastic right now.
Sigh.
9:29pm, Girls Dorms
Mine and Sirius's detention went perfectly. We had to clean all the desks down in the dungeons. Without magic. Using a cloth and water.
Me and Sirius kept flicking water at each other.
Teehee.
It was fun.
9:32pm
I wonder whatever happened to us cleaning out Bowtruckle cages?
Oh well. Thank god we didn't.
9:33pm
I am single.
Hehe.
This is just so fantastic.
I feel so free.
A/N: Well, Evelyn's life is looking up now, isn't it? But it won't stay that way for long! I am having way too much fun torturing her. I am so sadistic. HAHA. (See?)
