flaunt your fashion; wear your heart on your sleeve.

Avery loves Rhys, who loves Elva.
Scorpius loves Tierney.
Fisher loves Katherine.

BUT. I thought that Rhys had it bad for Della, because of the concert. And Avery.. doesn't seem the type to go proclaiming love for people. And Scor with Tierney! That just blows my mind! I don't even know what to think about Fisher, though. Huh.

Did everybody drink a big glass of love this morning or what? Because everyone is acting crazy!

I think I'm going to owl Mum. Maybe the French have contaminated us after all.

So Mum won't believe me-- still-- no matter what I tell her. Apparently Tristan and I are eloping after graduation. Grandma Molly is no help on the matter either. She wants grandchildren that bad, is what she told her mother. How she thinks I'm her best bet for them is beyond me.



In other news, I'm bored. Hideously, piteously bored. Please, someone help me remedy that situation.

Please, no one read the Prophet today.




[Tristan]
Did you write th Should I be wor When did this happen? I didn't know you wanted to get married?!
Er. What's going on?

I don't know why it's so unpopular-- Career Day was excellent! Dad came and talked a little bit about Curse Breaking; it was wonderful to see him, really, but I wouldn't have enjoyed the seminar quite so much if he hadn't brought his new staff with him. Sarah and Zachary seemed to really know their stuff! And they both seemed like wonderful people to work with, too. [private to Tristan: You've nothing to worry about, though. He's far too old for me, and besides, he didn't look nearly as wonderful to snuggle with as you.]

I'm really excited to graduate. I can't wait to really get started-- Dad says his job never gets boring, even when the goblins get mad at him and he has to sit at a desk for days on end. I don't think I want to work at Gringotts, though. The goblins frighten me, a little bit, and besides, I want to see the world! I'd really like to be able to see the places Mum and Dad saw on their honeymoon. The pictures are all so gorgeous, and the plants are supposed to be phenomenal! Stuff you don't get to see everyday, even here at Hogwarts. Apparently Bermuda has a whole patch Scordill blossoms. They're supposed to be really rare, since they're nocturnal and all.

The only thing that worries me is whether or not I want to live at home after I graduate. Victoire says I could lease her flat from her, since it's central enough in London that I could get around, but if I'm going to find a place, I don't know if I'm ready to live on my own. And I'd definitely want to pick out my own place, not get another hand-me-down from my sister. Even if it is a flat. It's so small, and only one person could really live there! I'm pretty sure I'd like having someone else around.

...how much punch did I drink? My head, it aches.

Also, I forgot to hand out presents yesterday with all the ball business.

OH MY GOD, THE LAKE IS COLD IN DECEMBER.


Does anyone have any extra blankets? I THINK I'M GOING TO DIE.

If Mum thinks she's going to keep me from coming home just because the school is having a ball, she is mistaken.

I'm going home for break, come hell or high water. Rosie, any thoughts on a good hideout?

According to my Calendar of Celebrations, it is your birthday. Obviously you forgot.

There will be a party tonight.

You will be in attendance.

You will have fun.


Everyone else: You will attend. You may or may not have fun. That is up to you.

Please tell me the powers that be are just toying with me. There is no such thing as a Yule Ball. It's just not happening.

...of course, I can't believe that because Mum decided to send me such a lovely little note this morning, explaining that I was not allowed to miss the ball for any reason, ill or no. Why she thought I would be ill on such a charming occasion is beyond me.

CALLUM GALLAGHER. CONGRATULATIONS!

[warded to HOGWARTSIANS.]
Dad sent me an owl and and and I hope someone is helping our Callum! SNAKES, SNAKES, WHERE ARE THE HEROIC GRYFFINDOR PARSELMOUTH CHAMPIONS WHEN WE NEED THEM?

Letter after letter after letter, one would think Mum would finally let up and let me live through this Tournament now.

Has anyone seen my pink scarf? I think I left it in the Charms classroom, but Professor Flitwick said he hasn't seen it.

Also, foreigners! Bonjour, hello, welcome! I am sorry, though; my Russian is quite limited to nothing and my French is rusty at best. I'll do my best with a Translation Charm, if Rose will come out of her shell long enough to help me with one, and help you lot around, if you'd like.

( and I promised you this love would matter. )
