Everyone's back at school! Pansy's kneazle is sitting in her lap right now and making it hard for her to finish her Transfiguration homework because he keeps butting her hand trying to get her to pet him some more. Fergus does that to Millie sometimes but I'd have thought a kneazle would have more sense. She tried telling him she really needs to finish this and she'll pet him when she's through but I don't think he believes her.

I'm twelve now, my birthday was Friday. Pansy sent me my own pair of omnioculars! And a cake she baked herself. She said in her note she hoped it would at least be edible and she shouldn't have worried because it tasted fine. Neville sent me a present too, an inkwell with a stopper that looks like a hedgehog. And Ron brought a present for me back from holiday, it's a basket with jams and teas I think his mum made, there's a pear jam that tastes just like the one my really nice and I think the others are apple and blackcurrant. I hope next year my birthday falls during the term instead of the Easter holiday though. It would be more fun if I actually got to see my friends that day.

The best thing about the holiday: I think I've finally practised flying enough that I'll be able to pass the test.
