Hi everybody. :) I feel happy today for some reason and cheerful, lol. But there was NO HEAT in my school today, so I am totally frozen. :( But other then that, I'm fine!

And I didn't even notice the blackmail (BLACKmail, you get it?), lol seems like people can spot things haha. Wow, that's a nice catch AtW. :)

Just to let you know, I work on the story (and my other ones) everyday... and plus, I get too much homework, so sorry if I can't update daily.

Potions. Second day. I'm so happy (sarcasam).

I had to be Seamus's partner - which wasn't bad... until he blew our cauldron up. Naturally, it exploded in his face, I was getting something, so I wasn't all - dirty.

He does this at least once a month, and it didn't matter what subject either. And of course, Snape sneered at him.

After that, we went to lunch, I was talking to Hermione, Harry and Ron.

"Hey, Harry, have you heard? Daily Prophet this morning, they reckon Sirius Black's been spotted." Seamus caught our attention.

Damn it, dad. He needs to be careful... I worry about him, and I think he's pushing his luck... just saying.

"Where?" Harry and Ron asked.

"Not far from here. It was a Muggle who saw him. 'Course, she didn't really understand. The Muggles think he's just an ordinary criminal, don't they? So she phoned the telephone hot line. By the time the Ministry of Magic got there, he was gone."

Oh, well, good for him. But he's still stupid for doing that!

"Hey Rose, you alright?" Ron asked.

I looked at him, and shrugged. "I guess, it's been all of this... shit lately, that's all."

"You know, you do look like him," Seamus commented on the picture of my idiot father.

I start to feel nervous. "Maybe we're distantly related?" I suggested.

Seamus shrugged. "Probably. But who knows? You don't know who your dad is, right?"

"Right. And?"

"Just saying, you think you're his kid? Somehow?" he wondered. I saw Taylor choking on his drink.

"How dare you say that?" Taylor shouted at Seamus.

"Taylor!" I warned at my older brother. "Control your anger, would you?"

"Sorry." he muttered, leaving us, third years be.

"Well, if I was, I'm not insane like him..." I said, in thought. I didn't like calling my own father insane.

"Just out of, um, wondering..." Ron whispered to me, which Hermione and Harry can obviously hear too. "Do you think you guys could be um... related?"

"Ronald!"

"Sorry 'Mione, it's just, curious, you know?"

Now, we were in DADA. I'm glad Remus John Lupin, secretly a werewolf, would be teaching us!

Yes, he's a werewolf, and I'm full aware of that. But he can't hurt nobody... unless, they probably get too close to him in wolf form. He has no human memory when he's a wolf, so, he can't help it.

Now, no one else knows about it, besides Dumbledore, the other people who work here, my aunt, my parents and their buddies knew, and myself... and I think that's it?

All of us sat in class, with our parchment and ink out (besides me), just waiting for the grown up to show up. My chair was tilted back, and I wanted to take a nap, but Remus would probably chew my ear if I fell asleep in his class.

Suddenly, I felt someone push my chair so it could be on all fours, and I had a heart attack when I landed... safely, of course.

"Gosh, Professor, that wasn't very nice." I muttered, while Hermione was giggling.

I gave her a look, and said very quietly, "Shut up, Miss. I'm-in-Love-with-a-"

She covered my mouth, but I said, "Weasley." No one couldn't hear it anyway.

Malfoy sneered about Lupin's appearance. Shabby look or whatever. But do anyone else care? Excluding the other Slytherins, no.

"You can put all of that away, take out your wands." Professor Lupin ordered. (I should probably adress him to that when we have lessons with him.)

The class did exactly what we were told. We followed him down the corridor.

Peeves suddenly popped out, calling Remus 'Loony loopy Lupin'. He probably heard this all the time when he was my age.

"Waddiwasi." Lupin said. That caused a piece of gum flying out of a key lock and right into his nose.

Harry and I were silently shaking with laughter, being the two idiot best friends we are.

We went into the staff room (which we've never been in), and Snape was sitting there.

I wasn't going to be mean to Snape. I mean, he already got bullied enough from my father, and my mother was one of his best/close friends. So, I think that would be messed up if Black's daughter was all, mean to him. And besides, that's not even me anyway.

He went out of the room, making a comment about Hermione and Neville, being the sour man he is.

This lesson, we were talking about boggarts. I knew exactly what mine would turn into.

"Without wands please, repeat after me, 'Riddikulus'." Lupin instructed.

"Riddikulus." the class repeated.

"Now, can anybody tell me what a boggart looks like?" Lupin asked.

I raised my hand. I knew Hermione knew it, but... where is she? I just saw her!

"Rosalie?" he called on me.

"Well, no one exactly knows. The boggart takes shape in what the person fears the most." I answered.

"Miss Black is right." Lupin said, giving me ten points.

"Good job." I heard a whisper, which made Ron, Harry and myself jump. It was Hermione!

"Where were you?" Ron asked.

"I've been here all this time." Hermione answered. Liar. You may be away for five minutes, but you certainly have not been here the whole time. But, we all have our secrets, right? Right.

Then Lupin picked Neville to be his sidekick for a moment, showing the class how to, do this.

All I'm saying, I'm glad he didn't pick me.

"Neville, what do you fear the most?" Lupin asked him.

"Pr...f..s...r S...p..e." Neville said, he was obviously in fear of a professor, and it was most likely Snape in my book.

"Professor Snape?" Lupin asked. Neville nodded to confirm it.

"Don't be ashamed, he's most people's worst nightmare." Lupin assured Neville. "I believe you live with your grandmother?"

Neville's body was shaking. He nodded, "Yes, but I don't want the boggart turn into her either!"

Lupin laughed. "It won't. Now, when the boggart sees you, it will take shape of your potions master. When you say, 'Riddikulus', I want you to picture very clearly in your mind..." he whispered something in Neville's ear. "Ready?"

Neville nodded. Lupin shot a spell at the door and Snape slithered out, his mad eyes on Neville.

"R-r-riddikulus!" Neville cried out. Snape stumbled backwards, obviously in a elder woman's clothes... Neville's grandmother's, probably. Good job, Neville.

"Brilliant!" Lupin cried. "No everyone, get in a line, Neville to the back." I ended up being behind Ron, and in front of Hermione.

"Ron." Lupin said, and Ron went up. Ron was scared of spiders, and there was one huge spider, probably as big as Hagrid's giant spider, Aragog.

"Ridikkulus!" Ron shouted, and the spider turned into a spider that had roller skates on.

Oh, I see. The spider can't get to Ron, since it's having trouble skating.

"Rosalie." Lupin called me up.

My boggart turned into a dementor. Man, those things are freaky. I mean, they can suck your souls out, and oh my God they're freaky.

"Riddikulus!" I shouted. The scary dementor turned into a... small black dog, that just won't shut the hell up.

Many people later, Harry went up, his boggart the same as mine. Lupin wouldn't let him defeat it (and I think I know why), and instead, turned into the full moon (Lupin's boggart). Lupin's Riddikulus was it being a cockroach.

"Class dismissed." Lupin said.
