We picked our Third Year subjects on Thursday and Friday. Lily and I have decided to pick up Arithmancy, Ancient Runes, Care of Magical Creatures and Divination, but we're not doing Muggle Studies because we already know enough about Muggles. I'm pretty excited about learning all these things. It'll be a big work load (as Sirius has been pointing out all day), but it'll mean that once we get to Sixth Year, we won't be limited in our choices in what we want to do. We have to think about our futures, after all. I just know it's going to be brilliant. Unfortunately we have to suffer through being in Care of Magical Creatures with James's gang, and Ancient Runes with James and Sirius. Ugh! If they intend to muck around all year, I will have no part in it. I need to work hard, and if they get in the way of that, I'm not responsible for what may or may not happen to them.

Most days I still can't believe Peter and Remus ditched us for James, of all people. Well, whatever. They can have their little gang if they want. It's stupid anyway.
