Has anyone seen Neville since last night?
Ron, Seamus, Harry - have looked everywhere except dormitory, obviously - is he in there? Ginny, you haven't seen him, have you?
Professors - Neville isn't with any of you, is he?
Merlin.

Ravenclaws, look, please try to stay calm. I know it's frustrating, being in the castle, but by being elsewhere, we'd only expose ourselves to more danger and impinge on what's being done to help things. And there are things being done, I promise. The media doesn't know everything: they only report what's sensational and obvious and bad, and admittedly there's quite a lot of all t

...sorry about that. Of all three, just at present. So the media's making a lot out of all this and. We should try and stay calm. Keep the radios on, maybe we'll hear something that way.
Oh shit. Oh God, my sister. And that stupid dangerous group thing Percy's in, what if

Right. Stephen. As your friend, and (I hate to do this, but) as your Prefect, I've got to say this:
The ants have to go. Padma's having NIGHTMARES, Terry won't shut up (so you're polluting the air as well as the dorm itself), and Kevin agrees with me as well. Please. Rehome them OUTSIDE or I'll have to do it for you.
Also, while we're on the subject. Possibly it's just pre-exam stress, but Zach. Trying too hard, mate. Su, do us all a favour and take him back? He's an idiot but he has some redeeming qualities and we all know he adores you.
Susan, I haven't seen Hannah either (Hannah, if you're reading this, please say so?). Actually, I could do with talking to you soon-ish. I could do with talking to several people, but since my life has turned into variations on the dormitory-classroom-library circuit, it's not going to happen. How's everybody's revision going? Better than mine, I hope.
Oh, and Luna? I found a bag of corks and, um, green feathers in the corner of the commom room. Are they anything to do with you?
I've got a stack of unopened owls, one from mum I don't kno
HEY! I'M AN UNCLE! Oh, brilliant, Jess has had the twins - Mum says the names are hideous (pfft, how bad can they be?) but won't tell me very much more - boy and girl, 6 lb 5 oz. and 6 lb 4 oz, they were born last night, ha an UNCLE. Wow, I bet they're brilliant
ONE OF THEM'S BLOND
HA, not the only blond in my family anymore! I need to get a card. Or make one.
P.S. Stephen. I'm serious about the ants. |

Ravenclaw Solidarity Moment. One of our number seems to have become mentally ill. Lisa, Padma, Kev, Terry: it's time we rose up and TOOK THOSE ANTS AWAY FROM STEPHEN. Seriously, it's just disgusting. Kevin, do you want Jehanne surviving on a diet of gross six-legged things? No.
Ron, Hermione: how's Dennis Creevey doing, poor kid?
Taking 5 NEWTs was such a mistake: I wish I'd whittled it down to four. To be honest, Ancient Runes was a mistake. If I was still going to be an archaeologist, perhaps not - but I can't justify being something like that when there's a war on. So, Ministry job for me. DMLE wouldn't be too bad, but... well, you've just got to go where you're needed, right? And working at the Ministry would definitely have its compensations.
Percy still hasn't answered my question about why the Professors were there... or answered my owl. Maybe he's changed his mind about me telling me.
Perhaps he's cross because I didn't tell him about the DA (wouldn't be the first time, would it?). It's so difficult to explain; I wish he'd just ask Ron. But we had such a good time last weekend.
HA, my boyfriend.
I am so immature.
Not to mention, I am SO going to fail DADA! I've been sitting here for an hour and done nothing except doodle, daydream and play on the kneetop. Oh dear. |

Unfortunately, I won't be going to the match today because I have a lot of Percy homework to do. However, best of fluck to both teams - although I think Slytherin will have a hard time beating Hufflepuff. See everyone at dinner!

Quidditch on Sunday? Wow, I didn't realise it was so soon. Also, Padma, please can we make it a punishable offence to play the Spice Girls in the common room? It's making the midg - little ones even less bearable. I resent hearing the phrase "zig-a-zig ah" from the lips of twelve year olds. Yes, yes, I know. Democracy. Never mind.

Back at school. Very quiet, everyone's in shock still, I think. Glad to see a full House on the Ravenclaw side of things - hey, Neville, is your Gran okay? Katie, I meant what I said to you last week. And you, Marietta.
Oh, and Millicent, I'm glad you're alright. I was worried.

Professor Moody was, I think, the bravest person any of us will ever know. He didn't have to devote his life to others; he must have known he had nothing to gain and a great deal to lose. But he knew, always, that justice was the supreme imperative.
Most of us the rest of us (I say "most" because, well, there are exceptions) haven't even experienced enough to understand the vocabulary of bravery, and suffering and sacrifice. But we should all be able to understand the other words, right? The impulses - friendship and morality and, well, goodness. And we can all make the choice Moody made; the choice to align ourselves with what he represented. Choices have to be made; they are made, even by those who reject them. You can't stand apart from your own age, your environment; to do nothing is a choice in itself, and one that aligns you with... with the opposite of what Professor Moody was.
I feel as if everything has changed.

oh my god

I don't mean to be alarmist, but I've just got hold of a copy of The Daily Prophet.
And with it a possible explanation for why Percy didn't finish his post.
...not meaning to be alarmist, but. Um. Been staying with Kit at the flat this week and Percy isn't home yet. He should be home. The Ministry's been blown up. Ron, Ginny, if you hear anything from him, anything at all - or from your dad - could you possibly let us know?
I'm so, so sorry about Professor Moody, it's
WHY DO THESE THINGS HAVE TO HAPPEN?
I do NOT believe in vigilante justice, if you descend to that level of behaviour, you're no better than the persecutors but I am SICK to DE of this. We can't just sit here! Everything's going to pieces around our ears, and we're powerless. Whether we like it or not, this is going to affect all of our lives for as long as we manage to hold onto them, so we CAN'T ignore it. We've got to do something. I know some people are already trying, I'm just... angry at the way our futures are being taken out of our hands. What gives them the right? No MORE of this, we've GOT to do something... like Professor Moody tried to. Like he DID, for years - I think now I understand why.

Everyone's OK, right? That - Millicent Bulstrode, sorry, we don't really know each other, but I'm sure I heard that you lived in Knockturn Alley. Are you OK? And Fred and George Weasley - I went to their shop in Diagon Alley (it was brilliant, I got loads of things for my little brother) last summer - they're OK too, yes?
I hate the Death Eaters. London's my home - and anyway, it's the futility of the gesture that makes me angry. Destruction for destruction's sake! People who don't see the need for an underlying principle in anything. If it had been - well, heaven forfend, a building occupied by people who actively oppose them, as opposed to innocent shoppers. I mean, my GOD, EVERYONE - even people who SUPPORT them - has to store money somewhere! Well, unless you're my Great-Aunt Monica but she's a Muggle so she wouldn't bank there anyway, even if she didn't prefer to keep her money under th - yes, well, shouldn't say.
I hope all of them get what they deserve.

Does anyone know what was happening in Diagon Alley? I heard some women say Gringotts was attacked, and from the St Mungo's people and officials and things, it looked more than likely. God, how awful. Ron, are your brothers alright? The twins, I mean. I know Perc Not the one who works at the M there is no good way to finish this sen Things seem to be far from brilliant, yet again.
Why ARE we all saying "brilliant", anyway?

I should have stayed at Hogwarts. I should not have come here.
He wasn't even here when I arrived (off with Lestrange, something I definitely don't have room to complain wait yes I do because - oh none of it matters). And I went in and shouted at Percy and can't begin to think about what happened afterwards. Too scared to write it down - hexes get broken, don't they? How the trouble started, anyway. Merlin knows I've probably made a mess of this hex now.

Everything'll be alright if I can just go back to school without him knowing.
Or Percy telling me what he thinks of me.

Commiserations again you lo Ravenclaw. Congratulations to the victors! The match was very. Um. Short? Ginny, you were really good. In particular, I mean.
Anyway. Thank Merlin the holidays are almost here. Stephen, Kevin, what do you say we find something fun to do before term ends? Hogsmeade, perhaps?
( Hexed very private )
I'm going to look into passing my Apparation Exams this holiday - or at least getting enough practice in so that I can pass the minute the summer term ends. Also, if anyone has Care of Magical Creatures today, watch out - Hagrid's in a really bad mood. Something about pollution in his supply of rainwater. Having read Professor Snape's post, I really dread to think. |

Jehanne's been behaving a bit better, lately. She's really sweet, and I think Terry has just about forgiven us for the um, incident.
Also, QUIDDITCH. Zach, mate, I hope you're preparing for an almighty defeat tomorrow. No offence, but your team doesn't stand a chance against the Ravenclaw brilliance. I'm sure even our Head Boy will agree probably because Marietta'll castrate him if he doesn't.
Hope the weather picks up a bit first, though. And Padma, can you PLEASE tell the first-year girls to STOP PLAYING THE SPICE GIRLS. It's killing me!

Emphasis on the "like".
Happy Valentine's Day to those who celebrate it. Oh, and I'm sorry, but I'm ill, probably infectious, so stay away just in case. Everyone enjoy the Ball. Marietta, I've done my bit with the decorations and put them in the box.

And it isn't even Valentine's Day yet.
