I punched Sirius Black, I've wanted to do it for years and now I finally have. It hurt my hand more than I thought it would. Yesterday he spoke to Patrick and Patrick broke up with me. I don't even know what Black said, or why he did it, I just know that it was because of him. Thankfully today is Saturday and I don't have to go to classes. My eyes are so red from crying and I don't think I could face the teachers, or Remus. He will be so relieved that Patrick is gone. I don't believe he'll be mean about it, or rub it in my face, but he will be happy. Lily has been really great, all of the girls have, but Lily isn't trying to push me in anyway. In fact she's brought me food and books, and she'll just sit with me for a while. I'm sure I would be more miserable without her.

Patrick has been trying to talk to me again. I just ignore him. Remus is doing his best to shield me from him, which usually consists of him stepping between Patrick and me and glaring at him until he walks away. I hope he gets the message soon.

Black has gone back to normal. For the past month he's been very quiet around me, but now he is joking and playing tricks like always. I even got a detention with him. He was finally caught, but the teachers are punishing me for yelling at him in class. So now I have to go spend an hour alone with him.

My friends threw me a party for me today, even inviting some of their friends from other houses. Frank Longbottom spent a lot of time staring at our Alice, especially once James Potter started passing around the Butterbeer. I hope she notices, it's amazing to find someone who looks at you like that, but I also hope they wait. At least until next year, of course, Frank would need to find the courage to talk to her first. There was a Hufflepuff boy named Jeremy Braxton, he was really nice, and funny. Remus got a little defensive around him, it was strange. Though it was at the end of the night and he was a little drunk. Honestly his mood swings are driving me crazy.

I don't even know what to say about my life right now. So many things have changed this year. Boys noticing me, leaving me, friendships change, people grow closer, or farther apart and everyone keeps secrets. I discovered one tonight. I'd been sitting here in the common room for hours, alone, because it is the night of the full moon and Remus is at the Shrieking Shack. Not long ago I heard Potter, Pettigrew and Black stalking through the common room, but they were invisible, using some kind of cloak.
Two minutes ago I saw a stag, a dog, and a werewolf on the edge of the forest. I'm assuming that there was a rat with them. In knew immediately it was the Marauders, why else would they have been talking about Remus and the forest tonight, or have such ridiculous nicknames like Padfoot, Prongs, and Wormtail? I don't know if I'll talk to Remus about it or not. I just hope they realize how dangerous how dangerous it is to be around a transformed werewolf, even if he is your friend and you've transfigured yourself into an animal.

I hinted to Remus that I knew his friend's secret. He couldn't deny it without acknowledging that he knew what I meant. So instead, he tried to distract me by telling me about a map they're making of the school that shows where every person is by name. It is rather ingenious of tem, I have to admit, but he won't get away without having a discussion about his friends becoming illegal animagi in order to run around with him when he's a wolf.

Remus has been very carful about what he says lately. It's actually really funny. I've never seen him so nervous before. I don't really care that the boys became animagi. It's actually kind of amazing that they have done it. My only problem comes when they risk their lives running around with a transformed werewolf. I may want to kill Black and Potter. I just don't want Remus to do it. The Hufflepuff boy Jeremy Braxton has been sitting next to me whenever he can. You know, I wasn't paying attention before, but he's cute. I'm glad we're talking. Perhaps if we get to know each other everything will work out better, whether that means he asks me out, or we nothing happens it will be all good with me.

April will soon become May, and then the real work begins. The teachers will all go crazy trying to jam into our brains the last of the information we need to know before exams. The hilarious thing is that every year, even though the year before it seemed impossible the work load gets even bigger. Our 7th year really should be as bad as it can get right? I just have to keep that in mind, it can only get worse for 3 more years. When I say it like that it's even more depressing, if that's possible. All of the mental run-around is exhausting. I'm going to bed.

I haven't written in over a month because I couldn't think of a thing to say that didn't involve homework. So the big things that have happened; Lily and James had a fight so big all of the houses were talking about it, then Lily and argued with Snape abut it all and now they're on shaky terms. Mary and Margo have both been asked on dates that seem as though they will turn into summer romances. Jeremy seems inclined to have the same happen for us, I don't know if it will . . . but I wouldn't mind.

Dear Ann,
How is your summer going? My father decided we need to take a vacation. Of course he originally planned it during the full moon cycle. When I pointed this out he promptly changed the dates. It is amazing how often he forgets my condition since he is partially responsible for it. I don't blame him, you know that, I just sometimes wish that he would remember how difficult life is for me. Anyway I'll be gone for 2 weeks.
Remus
Remus,
Don't be too hard on your father, he's always been a little forgetful, and the more he doesn't want to think about something the better he is at forgetting it. Even though you don't blame him, I'm sure he blames himself. My summer is going well. Since the whole boyfriend debacle last year I thought I shouldn't wait to tell you. Jeremy Braxton and I have been on a few dates. It's nothing official yet, but I thought I should let you know. Please don't be mad, and have fun.

I haven't heard from Remus since our last letters almost a month ago. I don't know why he's always so angry about my boyfriends when he has a flock of girls following him and his friends. He could have any girl in the school (well, maybe not a Slytherin) and I don't get jealous, or angry, or whatever his problem is. I just hope we don't have to fight through it this year.
