Sometimes I just... really, really dislike Cynthia. She doesn't want to 'believe' that I could have a boyfriend. An adorable one at that. She says that if I have such a cute boyfriend, why doesn't he come visit? And before I can even get in a word, she'll say something like he's probably a troll. My Tristan is NOT a troll!

[ Private to Tristan ]

I miss you... I was wondering if, I could see you before we go back to school? My parents mentioned they would like it if you could come to dinner...

I'm so tired of studying... but I just have to keep telling myself that it's worth it, to get the grades I want. But I am SO ready for Christmas! I miss Daddy, and Patrick is coming home too! We'll have a full house, because I'm sure Cynthia will be there... and won't she be surprised when I tell her I have a boyfriend?!

I'm really really sorry I didn't tell you two yet but you know... busy, and the shyness anyway but- I need a squealing session with someone!! Tristan asked me to be his girlfriend!!! And we're going to this ball together too!

So... I'm feeling better than I was after the classes. I'm over it, and I'm not going to let Goyle bother me- Just remember what Tristan said...

I'm excited about the match this weekend! I hope Hufflepuff does well, good luck and be safe! Especially you Tristan!

I don't know if it's just me reading too much into it, but the dorm room has seemed a bit quiet lately... Emily, Bryn, where have you been?

[private to self]
That was so horrible! I can't believe the teachers let us do that... I'm not as good at Herbology as Alice, or Frank! I almost starting crying I was so nervous... And I'm sure I stuttered too much. And the Slytherins must have been making fun of me... I'm sure I did horrible! Professor Longbottom is going to fail me, and then I won't keep my position in the healing program![/private]

I'm going to curl up in bed and pretend today never happened...

I... I... I have to teach?! No... this, no I can't do it! No one is going to listen to someone like me... Everyone's going to laugh at me...

Oh my goodness!!! I got a position at St. Mungo's for the training program next year!! I have to go owl Daddy... he'll be so excited!!! Oh this is so great, and such a relief to have that done now. I just... have to get the marks to keep it. Oh no!! I forgot that... this isn't going to be easy.

So, I've nearly gone mad the last few days. I've spent most of my time in the hospital wing between classes and singing club instead of hanging out with Tristan.... And no not because I'm sick. Been getting ready for the healing program placement. Madam Hiddlebottom is such great help though! I've been studying like crazy for it. I've already done twos interviews and test which I'm pretty sure I failed but... Madam Hiddlebottom is confident I'll get it! I got my recommendations in order too from some of the other Professors, and they are owled off to St. Mungo's. I just have a couple more tests and interviews before they'll let me know if I'll be there when I graduate. If I can get the marks. I'm going to fail I just know it... or my marks won't be good enough if I do pass!

[Private]
I've been so distracted lately... I wasn't even thinking about all the stuff I have to do for the Healing Program Placement! I don't think I'm going to get in... not when all these others that are going for it are so much smarter than me. I can't get an O in potions... Professor Cotton would never help me get my mark up! This is awful... I need to go talk to Madam Hiddlebottom.

I should have written this a few days ago but oh my gosh! Tristan asked me to the ball!! And I think... he actually likes me.

OH MY GOSH! Why am I paired with the Head Boy? Raleigh is going to think I'm so stupid... this is going to be a disaster, I'm going to do so badly, and fail the workship, and I'll bring Raleigh down with me...

Alice is so nice, she's already figured out my costume for me! I know she's going to do a really good job on it, and I'll definitely not be able to do it justice.

Anyways... Raleigh, I suppose we have some work to do?

A costume ball? Oh how fun! I'm already excited to start thinking of a costume!! Avoiding anything for changing my hair though, I'm very happy I got my colour back! I was worried it would stay white forever. Though with really really pale blonde hair I could be Amalthea...

no NO! I am not going to dress up as a Unicorn... even a unicorn turned into girl... No maybe not. Maybe something with wings. I don't even want to think about a date though...

Anyways, Emily. You're coming with my to singing, yes?

No one hate me... I think it was my cauldron that... My hair is white... it hasn't changed much from that. I'm kind of worried about next Potions class. Professor Cotton won't be very happy with us... not that he is usually ever happy.

As for Hogsmeade, I think I'm only going for a quick trip. To buy some candy, and maybe stop in Three Broomsticks for a Butterbeer I kind of need it. I also want to pick up something for my Dad, his birthday is coming up. He loves anything I can get for him, but I want to find something special. And... hopefully not something he can show off again at the Hospital. That was a little awkward the last time.
