Ravenclaw Common Room
Oh, yesterday was hectic! There was a ton of confusion about there being class on a Sunday, first years were getting lost everywhere, Professors couldn't start half of their lessons… Wow. So, I guess you guys are wondering why we had class on Sunday, right? The teachers wanted to get us right into the schedule of things, but they're giving us Friday off. I kind of like it. I would be too bored on the first day back.
You also might be wondering why I didn't write yesterday. Well, as I said, yesterday was hectic. The first years just got… well, I think they just got dumber. Yeah, mean, I know. But there's really no other way I can describe it! Last year, the first years didn't get lost nearly as much as they did this year.
Anyway, just finished my last class, Divination. I might have mentioned that it was silly, and it really is. I'm thinking about switching out of it, and taking up Muggle Studies. I just… the class is too iffy, I want solid facts. Okay, I guess the same thing could be said about Arithmancy, but I think it works! I analyzed a couple of peoples personalities, and they were almost dead on.
Oh! I forgot! Teddy Lupin did start at Hogwarts this year. He seems a little young, though. Maybe they started him too early? Whatever. I think he's a Gryffindor, but I didn't ask, I thought that would be a little nosy. Did you know that Harry Potter is his Godfather? I thought that was really cool. Maybe I'll get to talk to Teddy sometime…
Jeez, it's noisy in here. Odd, too, it's normally kind of quiet. I think it's still about Mr. Potter and Mr. Weasley coming. Yesterday, Hermione Granger came to Care of Magical Creatures, too. She told us a story about when she was in her third year. Some prick called Draco Malfoy (I've heard that name before) accused a hippogriff of hurting him, when the idiot provoked the poor thing!
Gah, they're dragging me off to dinner. I'll try to write tomorrow!
