September 2 – Tuesday

I woke to Scor yelling my name from the common room. I rushed around in a panic to get ready for class because I thought I had overslept. I hadn't. Stupid Scor decided that I needed a first day back prank. Lucky for him it wasn't extremely early or I may have stabbed him with my wand. I like my sleep. I just fixed my hurried mess and went and had a lazy long breakfast.

I got my timetable and it looked like it was a good one. It was nice, I had a good mix of classes, like a favourite or a class that I am good at before or after one I didn't like. Also first thing on a Tuesday was potions, before it was my favourite class. After today's class, I don't know if it will keep that title.

Prof. Gindyfoot has always let us pick our own potions partners. I have always worked with Scor because we may muck around but we do work well. Speaking of Scor, as I write this he has started ranting and raving about the unfairness again. I make sympathetic noises at appropriate times, I don't care. Gindyfoot said today that she was going to give a test tomorrow based on tonight's reading (which is a couple of chapters). That our potions partners were going to be decided from that. I'm not too worried because Scor and I do work well, and we are really good at potions. So we should get paired, but if we don't, then we can always do home *shudder* work together.

Homework is becoming a dirty word. Every teacher gave us homework to be done by tomorrow or the next day. Its all like a couple of chapters worth of reading and then something written. I have finished it before I started writing in here (it was difficult between Scor's outbursts). I should re-read the potions chapters again before tomorrow. I don't want a low mark that causes me to be put with someone else.

September 5 – Friday

I am so sick and tired of homework. I haven't had a chance to breathe. Tonight I am having a homework night in an attempt to get it all finished before some of the welcome back parties tomorrow night. I doubt that we will.
Scor and I have invited our friends to do homework in our lovely quiet common room to do homework. Some houses' parties are tonight. So we are having the best(!) kind of party, a study party.

Scor just declared he wasn't doing his potions homework in protest about the partners. He was stuck with some Hufflepuff who last year regularly got his potions partner sent to the hospital wing. I don't understand with a record like that how he still is in the class. I got Will Greene. He is the undisputed playboy of the year. I mean he has competition but those that I know about are more discrete in their dalliances than Greene.

My (hopeful) plans for the weekend, tonight homework and tomorrow morning if its not finished. Finish it in time for the Ravenclaw party (trust me geniuses know how to party, sometimes they have their own bootleg). Then Sunday, recover. If Scor swipes (sorry confiscates) booze from the Slytherin party, drink until dinner. Haha.

September 6 – Saturday

Just finished the mountain of homework so I get to go PARTY!

My parents once asked if Hogwarts parties were still the same as when they were there. After I listened to their description of a typical party. Aloud I said yes, inside I said hell no, unless they are the supervised mixed house common parties.

Each house has a different reputation for their parties.

~Slytherins are all class until at least midnight and have the best smuggled liquor.

~Ravenclaws are infamous for their bootleg and its strength, and the mystery of how no one has died. Every knows how you can forget the entire party and the next week's homework.

~Gryffindors their parties are always the loudest, and the party volume starts at loud. Slytherins in the dungeons have reported hearing the party but I think they are lying.

~The Hufflepuff parties, they are interesting. They have to appear the tamest parties but the rumours that float around the school for the next few days say otherwise.

I have plans to hit the Ravenclaw one until about midnight. Then head down to the Slytherin one, unless somebody drags me to a different one.

I just looked up from my writing because some one sat down, it was Peter. He was still whittling away at his homework whilst the others and I are doing something else. The others are playing exploding snap as a study break. I guess last night I was the only one who made a dint in the amount of homework. When the rest suggested study break. Peter was the only one who objected because he wanted to work straight through and then relax before the party.

We all made a pact, no parties tonight until all the homework was finished. We learnt years ago that promising to do it tomorrow after the party means its never getting done.

September 7 – Sunday

Someone didn't finish his homework before going to the party last night. Currently he is sitting at the table in our common room with a bad hangover. He didn't appear from the Slytherin dorms until dinner.
To have it bright enough that Scor can work means its too bright for his sore eyes and head. He's working hard - complaining about his head and the homework.

I just stormed out. I sometimes feel like that boy is seriously trying to piss me off. I was telling about the stuff that I heard had happened at the Ravenclaw party. I did go to the party but the late nights with home work caught up with me and the bootleg didn't help, I ended up leaving early. Like really early, so early I'm embarrassed to say what time. So much for finishing my homework on time.

Any way as I was telling Scor this he decides that he must interrupt and tell me about his latest conquest and how he spent the day in bed with her. I have told him before. I have told him many times, that how good a girl is in bed is a guy mate thing. So once it devolved into that. I left shouting a 'good night' over my shoulder at him. Some times it hurts to hear him talk about other girls.
