Transfiguration

Ugh! I'm so mad I could kill them! They've Charmed all my text books shut, so I can't open them! Professor McGonagall was furious, because I didn't have my book open, and when she called me out, it didn't even look like I was trying to open it. I'm so angry. I told her my books had been charmed, and she understood, but still, they're seriously inhibiting my learning abilities. It's only the first week of school and they're already bothering me. I don't know what's so wrong with being good at school anyway. They're always saying how nerdy I am, but I just work hard, because I don't want to be behind. It's easy for James and Sirius, they've grown up with two magical parents and they've known about magic their whole lives. They knew what was coming when we started school. There's still so much I don't know about magic, and I'm afraid that if I don't study really hard, I'll fall behind because I'm not a natural. Anyway, Lily studies just as much as I do, why don't they ever tease her about it? Ugh. It's so frustrating.

Anyway, McGonagall said I should figure out how to unCharm the books myself, or ask Professor Flitwick to teach me the counter-Charm. Speaking of, she's coming over here. Time to go.

Gryffindor Common Room

Apparently, everyone heard about my books being Charmed shut today, because I literally had about ten different guys, from all Houses, come and try to fix them for me. One Sixth Year guy finally got them unstuck, but it was all a little weird. Lily just sat next to me and snickered all through dinner, while Tamara looked at me all angrily. She is way too interested in boys. Doesn't she know that studying is much more important? Where will boys get her in ten years? Nowhere, that's where.

In other news, we have a new Defence Against the Dark Arts Professor again this year. His name is Professor Corner. He's been good so far. I wonder what keeps happening to all our Professors.
