It's lunch time. I'm having soup. I've been studying so hard for my finals and everything these past few weeks that I haven't been able to write much. James and Sirius are their usual idiot selves though, and Remus and Lily and I just have to ignore them. Peter's started hanging out with them though, which is bad news. I don't want James to turn him into a jerk too! I like Peter. But apparently he thinks all their little pranks are funny, so he's decided to join them in their quest for attention. We try and steer him clear of them because they're such a bad influence, but he doesn't really listen anymore.

Tamara's been particularly mean to me lately too. I don't know why she's in Gryffindor. She doesn't seem very brave to me. You know, we're brave and daring or something. If you ask me, she acts like a Slytherin. She'd do anything to get to the top. Oh well, the best we can do is ignore her I guess. She's not worth the time.

We're eating with Sev. He's made a lot of friends in Slytherin, so he spends most of his time with them, but sometimes he comes and eats lunch with us, like today. Him and Lily are really good friends. I guess I didn't realise before, but he's totally got a crush on her. It's funny, because she has no idea. But I don't know, he might get over it. There's this other Slytherin girl that obviously likes him a lot, because she's followed him over here and is sitting with us too, even though she clearly thinks we're below her. Her name is something silly, like Hyacinth or something equally ridiculous. I think it's some kind of flower. She's got the blondest hair I've ever seen; I might go blind from the glare. Although, you know, I'm one to talk about blonde hair. She's a few years older than us though, so hopefully we won't have to see her around too much. Anyway, Lily's been trying to get my attention for ten minutes.
