January 6th,

Hi, I am back!

Classes started back today, and man was it tough getting back into the swing of things.

For Potions, Professor Slughorn (this man must be over a thousand years old, my dad said that Professor Slughorn taught Lord Voldemort, and then my grandparents years later, I really don't see how this man is still living today), wants us to write an essay on poison antidotes and why they are important that is due next week. Professor Slughorn is definitely the weirdest Professor at school, I would say the oldest, but Professor Binns has him beat by a century or two.

Transfiguration went pretty well, I earned five points to Hufflepuff for getting the spell right first. We were supposed to turn a Guinea Fowl into a Guinea Pig, and I was one of the first to actually do it successfully. Haha you should have seen my cousins face. Oh it was priceless.

I saw Lauren Grey again today too in Transfiguration ckass, and dang does she have a nice smile. Yeah I cant believe I am actually saying that.

I guess I might aswell and say it then huh?

I have only known her for a little while and already I have a crush on her.

James will have a field day with this. He will never let me live it down when he hears about. Since I haven't done anything yet, I guess I can't really worry about what James thinks just yet.

My last class today was muggle studies, which was pretty interesting because we learned about muggle communication devices like a Cell-U-Er-Fone or Cel-Fone. I think I spelled it right and oh well if I didn't. I don't have my muggle studies text with me so I did my best. Muggles are interesting, and even though they don't have wands, they still come up with some pretty awesome ideas. I don't see why some wizards are so against them.

I would write more, but I'm falling asleep here just writing this.
