I don't know how anyone could think that Neville would need to FAKE tripping over his own feet.

Also, I don't know what I was thinking, packing my journal in my school trunk.

Neville, I'm going to wait until Draco and Harry have calmed down and then point out that you've always been a pillock, if you don't mind. I think it's probably better if Draco thinks of you as stupid and harmless, rather than a blood traitor.

Finally, I want to know what Snake-hating sadist came up with the Slytherin schedule. On Mondays I have Double Transfiguration first thing, then Defence, then Double Potions, then Dark Arts. Two hours of Carrow first thing on Monday AND I'm barely going to have time to go to the loo AND I finish the day with Alecto Carrow.

On the bright side we have a lot of classes with Gryffindors this year. Well, maybe it's not so bright; I hate to think of the sort of trouble Draco could make for Neville in Potions class. Although he really likes Potions, he wouldn't normally cause trouble there. Still.

I don't like the sound of that.

Fingers crossed that they don't skive off or do like they did with your journal at start of summer just to seem 'fair.'

Let's see what we can get the House-elves to do, and we should designate Mondays as "no homework" days. I mean, we can do our Tuesday work on Sunday if we plan for it, and if we're knackered after a long hard day, it might be nice to just not have to do any studying at all, and just listen to music or play games or go on a nice walk. Unless there's an exam or something.

That is an excellent idea. I'll be in no shape to do homework after three hours of Carrows anyway.

We have Care of Magical Creatures tomorrow afternoon! I can't wait.

Neither can I! Professor Brutka is so wiz-nift, I'll bet he's a fantastic teacher. You need to introduce him to Sebastian, too. And maybe I can tell him I've been learning French!

You should tell him in French that you've been learning French.

I should introduce him to Sebastian. And find out if I can just keep feeding him people food or if he needs special rat food. He doesn't seem to mind eating what I eat but maybe rat food would be better for him?

Well, he'd know, wouldn't he?

And I totally will.

That's an idea to get Draco talking, too. Because he mentioned being okay with practicing our French, and if he thinks other people can't understand what he's saying, that might help a bit.

Ugh. Hang on. I'm going up to get more chocolate from our room. Want some?

I still feel a bit off. Even after the loads we ate on the train.

Yes to the chocolate. Definitely.

Just don't let Daphne see. She'd eat it all, the pig.

And then write a play about it and make us all have parts in it.

Honestly.

Too right.

Why did they let those things on the train? Did they really think Macnair was hiding somewhere on the Hogwarts Express? Or Snape?

I don't know. I mean, I guess they were searching? Just in case?

I'm glad I had some with me on the train. Everyone looked just awful after.

And even though Harry was being a total idiot, I was worried about him too. I mean, him fainting and all like that. I got all shuddery and sad and well, you know. But it must have been awful for him if they made him do that.

Yeah.

I felt utterly awful, worse than -- anything recent, anyway. But I didn't faint. Why do you suppose Harry reacted that way? Do you think he was in a bad frame of mind to begin with, or maybe it's something about living with the Lord Protector?

I don't know.

Maybe he sort of got all overwhelmed because there's people trying to kill him?

I just can't stop thinking about Pirate. It's awful. I hope the rest of term isn't going to be like this.

Well, they're not going to be coming onto the school grounds, right? So we just have to be sure to have chocolate when we go into Hogsmeade.

And there's the sweet shop right there in case we run out!

I keep thinking about my mum.

I thought about trying to visit this summer. My parents, I mean. Secretly.

If I were a Gryffindor I'd have done it.

I know you want to, but that would have been

well, if you'd been caught, I don't know what I would have done.

But yeah. I'm sorry.
