AN: Sorry it's been awhile.. I was away on a school trip for 4 days.. and I've been REALLY busy lately..
Dear Calamitous Diary,
Today I had to teach the Gryffindor seventh year Potions students. I had thought that this class might be okay, now that the simple-minded Harry Potter and Ronald Weasley had left their ranks. I did not let those dunderheads into my N.E.W.T.S. class. Potter only got an E anyway and Weasley did worse than that. Needless to say the class did not go smoothly. The Gryffindors were not delighted to see that they were taking this class with Slytherins. That feud between the houses has gone on for as long as I can remember. There were only eight students, three Gryffindors and five Slytherins. Unfortunately Hermione Granger was one of these three Gryffindors that I was forced to put up with.
Miss Granger – as usual – asked far too many questions. That girl also gave me two pages more parchment than I asked on that essay on the properties of a unicorn horn. Do you know how much extra time that'll take me to mark?
Bloody hell, an owl has just arrived.
Blast it! It's from Dumbledore. He writes: How was she today? One day I am going to get that senile man. I still do not know who she is! I'm going to start marking some essays. I hope this is a long enough journal entry, last night I had some ludicrous dreams about a black diary tearing me to shreds.
