Studying

More homework. The entire school has been assigned a report on Fleur Delacour. I only know the common knowledge stuff about her so far, not nearly enough for a report. I'm sitting here just staring at my blank roll of parchment.....



Looks like I'll be spending some time in the library this week!

Roar, Roar, Gryffindor!

WooHoo! Our Gryffindor team has won the second Quidditch match! All thanks to our amazing seeker, Lily Durmstrang! Way to go Lily!



Roar, Roar, Gryffindor!!!

My Awesome Prize!

I received a parcel today! An enormous tawny owl swept into the great hall during breakfast and dropped a package right on top of my scrambled eggs. My housemates were all very curious what it could be so I opened it right away. What was it? Why, my House Quiz Prize of course! I had almost forgotten that it was on its way. What a pleasant surprise!




Look what I got! An entire kit to make a beautiful lacey scarf! It includes the yarn (sparkly pinks and purples) needles (knit picks, my fave) and pattern. Yay!

Hogsmeade Weekend

I went on my first trip to Hogsmeade this weekend! It was even cooler than I expected! I was a little worried at first because I accidentally slep in on Saturday morning and when I woke up all the Gryffindor's were already gone. I almost stayed at school but then I decided to go by myself. Gryffindors are supposed to be brave, right? Well, I'm really glad I went because I had a fantastic time. My favorite shops were definately Honeydukes and Zonko's. I stocked up with enough candy to last me a month! Oh, and don't tell the headmistress but I also bought the biggest bag of dungbombs I've ever seen.... I'm planning on releasing a bunch during Divination class (oh, how I hate that stupid class) Maybe I'll save a few for History of Magic as well (although I do catch up on my sleep in that class).
