Hannah? Are you-

Is everyone okay?

WARDED PRIVATE.

It's like a game of who will be next. Except the stakes are far too high. I hope Neville is right about Harry. I'm beginning to wonder how much longer we can hold out.

WARDED TO ROR INHABITANTS.

Is everything all right? Anything you need? Ernie, Hannah and I are trying to gather supplies, brew some potions for when we need them. As long as we're not all forced into hiding, we should try to use that to our advantage.

WARDED TO DUMBLEDORE'S ARMY.

I'm looking into (potentially?) safe ways to transport Michael. Professor Flitwick pointed me in the direction of some books on healing when I told him I was interested in the subject material that we are covering in Charms Club. Perhaps there will be something of help in there, in case his situation worsens.

I think we'll need to do this soon. I don't doubt that security will be raised the more of us disappear.

WARDED TO THEODORE.

I'm tired.

It is good that this Hogsmeade weekend has passed without incident.

WARDED TO SEAMUS.

How is Neville? Have you been able to find out what they cast on him?

WARDED TO HANNAH AND ERNIE.

I did it. I'm officially licensed to Apparate.

It seems a funny thing to be happy about when we have no idea where Megan is, isn't it? At least Julian is back, though I'm not sure if that's such a good thing considering what it led to. We should do something nice. It's his birthday tomorrow.

WARDED TO THEODORE.

I passed my test.

[018]

Wed, 11 May 2011 17:31:41 GMT

I've been in to see Professor Carrow yesterday, and I am happy to announce that the Charms Club has been reinstated. Meetings will resume as usual.

WARDED TO THEODORE.

Come sit with me.

[017]

There seemed to be a flurry of owls in the Great Hall this morning, and most weren't even carrying letters. I wonder what that was all about.

In any case, it feels like spring has well and truly begun, doesn't it?

WARDED TO ERNIE AND NEVILLE.

Ernie and I were talking the other day about how it would be useful to get messages out without putting ourselves at risk all the time ~~especially now~~

I was thinking, perhaps I could modify the Protean Charm that Terry and I used to produce our coins?

WARDED TO HANNAH.

It's nice out. Do you think Professor Sprout would mind if we spent some time in the greenhouses after classes?

I still can't believe they actually served us Firewhiskey.

WARDED TO THEODORE.

I slept for a full eight hours last night. Thank you.

WARDED TO TRACEY.

Ready for Easter break?

[016]

Wed, 27 Apr 2011 17:29:45 GMT

At Professor Flitwick's suggestion, the Charms Club will be practising the Patronus Charm at our next meeting on Saturday. Any non-members wishing to learn the spell are most welcome as well.

Questions can be directed at either myself or Professor Flitwick, and I might suggest The Dark Arts Outsmarted by Quentin Trimble for anyone wishing to read up on the matter.

WARDED TO DUMBLEDORE'S ARMY.

I just need to figure out a way to avoid having to cast one myself. Someone is sure to recognise it.

WARDED TO NEVILLE.

We may have a problem.

WARDED TO HANNAH.

Happy birthday! I hope you don't mind me leaving your gift on top of your trunk. I wanted to be on time for breakfast and I figured it would be annoying for you to carry around all day.

WARDED TO LISA.

How are you feeling?

[015]

Tue, 05 Apr 2011 00:43:43 GMT

I don't think we have had this much fuss about a Divination prediction in a while. Did Professor Trelawney say anything particularly shocking? The group of Gryffindors I passed in the corridors seemed quite excited about it for some reason.

WARDED TO SEAMUS.

Speaking of Gryffindors - not locked in still, are you? I haven't seen you around much this week.

WARDED TO TERRY.

Hi.

WARDED TO THEODORE.

It appears someone took ~~your~~ my the scarf from my trunk during the raid on Hufflepuff.

WARDED TO HUFFLEPUFF 7TH YEARS.

I am thinking we ought to do something fun.

[014] backdated to the 16th.

WARDED TO DUMBLEDORE'S ARMY.

I just overheard Zabini and a few other IS members. Apparently they are going to Polyjuice someone into Parvati to try and find out information about Dumbledore's Army.

I'm thinking we should be able to use this to our benefit if we play it right.

WARDED TO ERNIE AND HANNAH.

You're not missing all that much otherwise. I brought you back some Chocolate Frogs, though.

WARDED TO SALLY-ANNE.

So, anything in particular you'd like for your birthday this year?

Funny things, birthdays, when you think about it. Why do we measure age by years? It's not like we are suddenly that much wiser in the passing of a night.

[013]

Wed, 23 Feb 2011 19:50:31 GMT

WARDED PRIVATE.

I'm a Bones. That's all it really comes down to. It could have been me, or Rae, or Dad, or even Mum. Those Death Eaters... it's only a matter of time before one of us- I feel bad for being relieved that it wasn't. Poor Luna.

If only things could have stayed like they were at the gala. I could almost pretend that everything was normal for a night. ~~I wonder if~~

I think it's time I talked to Dad. I need some answers.

WARDED TO HANNAH.

Will you come over tomorrow and help me bake Christmas biscuits?

WARDED TO LAVENDER.

Thank you for your help.

[012]

Sat, 19 Feb 2011 02:20:35 GMT

Mistletoe? Must we really resort to such childish pranks? I'd think it was no one's business who kisses who but our own. Or doesn't, for that matter.

WARDED TO TERRY.

Is everything okay?

WARDED TO ERNIE.

Are you ready for tomorrow?

[011]

Sun, 13 Feb 2011 18:16:14 GMT

On behalf of the Charms Club, I would like to issue an apology to anyone who was affected by yesterday's faery incident. Additionally, if any charms have not yet worn off, please come see me, and I will make sure your hair colour returns to normal.

WARDED TO CHARMS CLUB MEMBERS.

Thanks for your help, everyone. I'll see if I can talk to Professor Flitwick and suggest we leave the faeries in their boxes next year.

Despite the delay, I think we did manage to make the Great Hall look its best.

WARDED TO HANNAH, ERNIE, PADMA AND TERRY.

Stephen Cornfoot just asked me to go to the gala with him. I suppose that saves me from any "well-meant" suggestions by Professor Carrow.

It will at least make a good impression? ~~He's a pureb~~

I wish I didn't have to consider things like these. I'd have much preferred curling up with a nice book.

[009]

Wed, 09 Feb 2011 04:22:46 GMT

WARDED PRIVATE.

No no no no no no. This is not happening. It must be a mistake.

Misplaced feelings of friendship. Shock? The year hasn't exactly been a picnic so far, it's probably normal to think about-

Fuck.

And writing that doesn't even make me feel better.
~~Why can't I just hate him like the rest of this stupid school.~~
~~If anyone finds out, I'm dead.~~
~~I agreed to save a~~
He's paying for my robes
~~Ernie and his stupid~~

I've been working too hard. Calming Draught. And maybe some sleep. It will help.

WARDED TO HUFFLEPUFF 7TH GIRLS.

If anyone needs me, I'm taking a nap.

Does anyone have a Calming Draught to spare?

WARDED TO DUMBLEDORE'S ARMY.

There was a meeting. The Inquisitorial Squad is hereby permitted - and even encouraged - to issue detentions as well as use force against anyone who doesn't comply.

Please be careful, everyone.

WARDED PRIVATE.

Well. That is that, then. She didn't even ask why.

I don't know what to tell anyone. Those seconds years might have been too scared to say anything, but I could see them staring at me, judging me. I need to tell Rae. And when Megan finds out, or Wayne... They are going to hate me. And I can't blame them.

~~I wish skipping class was a possibility. I already want to rip that thing off my robes.~~

No, it was the right thing to do. There can't be more like Parvati.

WARDED TO ERNIE AND HANNAH.

~~I joined-~~
~~Can I please take this badge off~~

Please tell me this complete load of hogwash does not require a date.

WARDED TO PADMA.

I did it.

[006]

Sat, 22 Jan 2011 23:39:44 GMT

WARDED PRIVATE.

Note to self: think up an excuse not to go to Hufflepuff's next game. It was worse than I remembered.

~~I still feel a bit quea-~~

WARDED TO ERNIE.

Are you busy?

WARDED TO PADMA.

I think perhaps we need to have another chat.

It seems the flu season is coming up again.

[005]

Mon, 17 Jan 2011 23:19:57 GMT

WARDED PRIVATE.

I wish I could turn the clock back and make it all go away. I'm not sure it was a good idea to involve Neville and Ginny... the things Ernie is saying- Why does he always have to act like such a complete prat? And now Terry is involved too and I don't know who to talk to anymore. They are all looking at me, expecting me to step up and I can't even really tell them why it's impossible for me to go through with it. Not even Padma.

He would know. One look and he'd know. I can't take that risk.

Maybe Ernie is right and I am a coward.

I wish Dad would write.

WARDED TO ZACHARIAS.

Do you mind if I sit with you in Herbology tomorrow?

WARDED TO MR NOTT.

I-
Do you think the blackbird will visit today?

[004]

Tue, 11 Jan 2011 18:40:24 GMT

I hope everyone is feeling a bit better this morning.

WARDED TO TERRY.

~~Ar-~~ How are you?

I was thinking we should probably talk to Lavender.

WARDED TO MR NOTT.

Your warning was received.

WARDED TO HANNAH.

All right?

WARDED TO DUMBLEDORE'S ARMY.

I apologise if I am speaking out of turn, and it is certainly not my intention to intrude on anyone's grief, but I think we need to organise our efforts. ~~After K-~~ I am sure we all realise the importance of what we are doing. There have been several good suggestions, but question remains of where to focus our energy first.

In any case, I intend to spend my free time in the library today. I am determined to finalise our research.

[003]

Sun, 02 Jan 2011 00:47:31 GMT

WARDED TO TERRY.

You may want to know your brother has been making some rather dangerous comments to the Head Boy. ~~I would speak to him myself but I don't think~~

WARDED TO PARVATI.

Can I ask you something? In confidence?

The start of a new month. I am sure November will only prove to be even more- interesting.

[002]

Tue, 21 Dec 2010 03:33:01 GMT

WARDED TO DUMBLEDORE'S ARMY.

I am glad to know caring about propriety apparently means I must be completely insensitive to Justin's fate and that of the other Muggleborns.

~~I feel like cryi-~~

[001]

Sun, 19 Dec 2010 01:27:57 GMT

WARDED TO TERRY.

Lavender Brown.

WARDED TO ZACHARIAS.

What happened at the game?

If anyone has seen my copy of Achievements in Charming, please let me know. ~~I could have sworn I had-~~ It has my name on the title page and I would really like it back.

[000]

Mon, 06 Dec 2010 20:27:34 GMT

To fully understand the after, one needs to study the before.

[025]

Fri, 05 Nov 2010 16:25:48 GMT

I have to say it was a bit odd not being at Hogwarts at Hallow's Eve. I had a good time, though. It was interesting to see how creative some people were with their costumes. There was this one person (I think it was a guy?) in a mummy costume who scared me half to death. Which would have been fitting with my own costume but not so useful, otherwise.

Of course, it's a bit of a shame when celebrations are over and you have to get back to cleaning bedpans.

WARDED TO RYAN.

I just got an owl from your mother.

WARDED TO LAURA.

How was your birthday?

[024]

Sat, 23 Oct 2010 12:51:37 GMT

6 a.m. on a Saturday morning and I'm wide awake. At least my day isn't going to waste.

WARDED PRIVATE.

21st: Justin -- Done. That book was a very nice find. Have to remember that little bookshop.
24th: Angelina -- Am I supposed to get her something?
26th: Uncle Edgar -- Need to owl Dad to see if he'll go with me again.
30th: Laura -- I have something in mind... I'll have to go to Diagon Alley next week.
31st: Ryan -- Boyfriends really shouldn't be this hard to shop for.
I never noticed before how many birthdays there are in October.

WARDED TO HANNAH AND JUSTIN.

I need your help.

WARDED TO RYAN.

You're probably still asleep and I'm seeing you later anyway, but in case I forget to ask: have you figured out something for Laura's birthday yet?

[023]

Tue, 12 Oct 2010 19:45:40 GMT

They brought in someone with a case of the Vanishing Sickness yesterday, which is really the oddest thing to watch. I walked by the patient's room this morning and they were drinking tea, only the cup seemed to be floating in the air because their hand had disappeared.

It's a bit early still, but good luck at the game this weekend, Hufflepuff. I hope you make it through ~~with minimum injuries~~.

WARDED TO LAURA.

I realise you and Rae probably aren't on speaking terms right now, but will you let me know how the match went?

I know she is a capable flyer but I am a bit worried anyway.
