I need new books.

I need another vacation too. Quidditch is kicking my arse right now. Not to mention I'd like to get away fro-

[Private: Self]
Really? Really? Really?

This shouldn't annoy me. Why would it annoy me?
Shouldn't I be happy that my TWO BEST FRIENDS SLEPT
TOGETHER AND ARE NOW DATING?

Stupid love. Why must you ruin everything?

Teddy! I'm so glad I got to see you! It was such a great visit.

Now back to practice. Things are going pretty well I think. Everyone's been just great with me and really helpful. I'm starting to feel like I belong with the team now. I really appreciate how wonderful they've been. Considering..

Why is my Mum writing to me telling me I need to find a guy?
Daddy..make her stop.

Okay, so I have to admit, I absolutely love officially being on the team. It still feels so weird to me and I'm sure it's weird for everyone. Though, I honestly feel really happy right now.

Oi, Mikey! You never told me what you want for dinner. Unless you really have a death wish and wanting it to be a surprise I suggest you give me some hint as to what you want. When are you coming over too?

[Private: Dad]
Coming to watch me play?
[End Private]

Think I'll go paint for a little bit. It's been a long time since I've made anything.

Well. I'm not a Reserve anymore.

[Private: Self (Lisa/Michael may read)]
How am I supposed to be happy about this? Yes, I wanted to come off the Reserve but not this way. It doesn't feel right taking her place. I feel like I haven't earned it, I'm only here because of what happened. What if the others don't like me because I took her spot?

Of course I'm happy that I'm officially on the team now but I feel guilty at the same time too.
[End Private]


Think I'll just get something to eat and maybe watch a movie later.\

She was such a good person. I looked up to her a lot while watching the team practice.

Think I'll just stay in bed for a while. I don't feel like doing anything.

I'm so completely excited for Quidditch!

[Private: Self]
Honestly, I'd really hate to see Teddy so upset. Hannah as well, especially their given past, must be horrible to find that out.

I can't help thinking though. Teddy says that his father never murdered anyone after he was born but how can he be sure? Just because his father says so? Parents say a lot of things to protect their children. He may have been a father but he was a Death Eater, from what I've heard you either follow orders or you will be killed. You-Know-Who doesn't seem like the type of person that would be like, "Oh no, you have a son, you don't have to kill people."

I can understand not wanting to believe it but still..
[End Private]

Dad? Is there anything you want me to bring back for you from the match?

Oi! Lisa! I have a fun idea for us to do before and after the match! Where are you?

Thanks to Lisa, I was able to use her camera and get a brilliant picture of my bedroom!

my room! )

I just now taken out my paint set, it's in the closet at the moment, until I find a good spot to put it. I'll probably take it outside a lot, but I wouldn't want to leave it out there just in case it rains.

I have a place! Actually, Lisa and I have a place! I have a room that doesn't include having a border with teddy bears drinking tea! Although I did take part of the border with me and stuck it in a frame. I can be sentimental you know!

I wish I could take pictures but I don't have a camera. Maybe Lisa will?

Practice is going well. One of the Chasers had to go home for a week, family issues, so I was able to practice with the team the whole time. I'm supposed to meet with him here soon, tell him what he missed, but I'm sure someone would have told him by now.

I really want to buy a new book.

Practice wasn't as fun as I would have hoped. Why? Probably because I was only on my broom for about thirty minutes. I hate being a reserve.

[Private: Theodore and Draco]
I know this is late. I just wanted to apologize to the both of you. I really wanted to come to the party. I'm sorry I missed it. Things are just difficult around here. I hope you both forgive me.
[End Private]

Oh, which reminds me. Dad says he might be able to get me a real job. Only problem is, it's at the Ministry. I wouldn't think they'd hire me to begin with after my little interview. I honestly don't know what to do. I'd make a lot more money and I'd be able to live with Lisa but that's just what my father would want, for me to quit Quidditch and work at the Ministry. Then again, the department would be the Department of Magical Games and Sports.

I don't know what to do.

I do have to say, I didn't expect us to win both. I'm quite glad that I didn't let my team down. I probably would have jumped in the lake.

Well, now for the moment of truth. I'm playing Chaser for the Magpies, but they put me on Reserve. I suppose it could be worse but, I have to admit, it's hard going from Chaser since 3rd year to Captain 7th year to Reserve. But I'll prove to them quick enough that I deserve to be moved up.

[Private: Michael]
Come see me.

Just so we're in good spirits about the year almost ending, I have a great idea for everyone!

Write one of your favourite memories with me from first year till now. If you don't have a favourite memory with me then um..tell me some of your favourite memories of Hogwarts in general.

Oh! I finished my last painting. Well my last painting while I'm at Hogwarts, I'll still paint when I leave. I hope you all like it, give us that warm and fuzzy feeling inside.

[ooc: i suck when it comes to threading so i know mandy probably hasn't made a lot of fun moments with a lot of people..but since it's not her fault..go ahead and make something up if you can't think of anything. as long as it isn't too bad and you can picture mandy doing it.oh and i found the painting on google..just so you all know..i have no artistic talent. xD]

Professors really love to pound homework on you the last couple of months don't they? I swear I should make a bed for myself in the Library.

[Private: Self]
I can't believe we'll be leaving school soon. The only thing to really look forward to is the tryouts that I have for Quidditch. I still have to go back home. Not sure how I feel about that. Dad's talking to me again, well barely. Doesn't feel like much. I can't let that worry me though. I have exams and Quidditch tryouts and I know he would say to concentrate on Quidditch and school work, nothing else matters.

Ugh.

I love the weather outside, it's perfect for flying.

[Private: Ravenclaw Quidditch Team]
Practice tonight! Everyone be on time please! We have a lot to go over. It'll be a long evening so I hope you lot have most of your homework done.
[End Private]

I've been thinking. Once I leave my parents house, I think I'm going to get a dog. I've always wanted one but Daddy my father is allergic. I did have a pet turtle once though, his name was Barnard but I always called him Benny. As slow as they are, you wouldn't think they could disappear from being left outside by accident for only 20 min. Sneaky little bugger.

Well, I finished another drawing. It's not very good, I know I could have done a lot better. I didn't really feel like painting anything so I just drew this instead.

Flower drawing )

Time for dinner!

I received a letter from the Minister today. Don't worry, I'm not any real trouble. They're are basically letter me off with a warning. Though, I honestly wish I would have given some thought before I gave my opinion. I could have risked getting my father fired and it would have been my fault.

Oh well. I don't want to talk about it anymore. Quidditch isn't over with and I have exams coming up. Merlin, I can't believe exams will be here soon! Talk about stressful.

So I've been thinking about what I could do after Hogwarts. I'm taking a lot of decent classes and I'm sure I could do a lot with them, as long as I pass. Still, the only thing I really love doing is playing Quidditch. I don't know if I'll even be picked for a team. I have a few tryouts lined up after graduation, but I'm pretty nervous about them.

I really need some fresh air. Think I'll go for a walk.

Thank you! Thank you to everyone that wished me a happy birthday! I loved the gifts.

It was really a great birthday.

[Private to Self (Michael,Lisa and Padma can read)]
My father is really that mad at me that he can't get over it for his daughters birthday.

The birth of his own bloody child and he's still so angry with me that I don't even get a bloody card or anything.

You would think that since Amanda is technically my first name, I wouldn't cringe whenever I see it written down or hear it. Apparently that's the case for me. It makes me think I'm in trouble.

Oh wait. I am.

My father wrote me a not-very-nice letter. Apparently he didn't like my one comment in the article. Though I'm still not sure how he got a hold of it. I bet some rotten kid sent it to their parents and they recognized the surname and sent it over to my father.

Can't please everyone I guess.

I still feel really bad though, I hate making my father angry. I should have known though. I was just hoping he wouldn't see it. Stupid. I don't regret it but I don't like being in this huge fight with someone I'm really close too.

Don't feel like doing much today.

In all the seriousness that's going on right now, I feel like someone should write a happy entry. Not that I don't mind people who write ones that aren't very positive, but maybe this will at least make someone smile, which is all I want in the end.

Two muffins were heating in a stove. One muffin turns to the other and says, "Wow, it's really hot in here." The other muffin turns and says, "Bloody hell! A talking muffin!"

Look at what I made! )

This duck walks into a convenience store and asks the clerk, "Do you have any grapes?" The clerk says no, and the duck leaves.

The next day, the duck returns and asks, "Do you have any grapes?" The clerk again says no, and the duck leaves.

The day after that, the duck walks in the store again and asks "Do you have any grapes?" The clerk screams at the duck, "You've come in here the past two days and asked if we had any grapes. I told you no every time that we don't have any grapes! I swear if you come back in here again, and ask for grapes, I'll nail your webbed feet to the floor!!"

The duck left, and returned the next day. This time he asked, "Do you have any nails?" The clerk replied, "No," and the duck said, "Good! Got any grapes?"


Hope everyone is having a good day. If not, I have sweets.

Slytherin and Ravenclaw! Sounds like a winning team!

[Ravenclaw]
Have we decided on who's going to be the leader? When do we have to have this decided by?
[End Private]

I think a friendly game of Quidditch sounds like fun. But they do realise it's never just a 'friendly' match right? I'll be the first to admit this, whether the match is just supposed to be a friendly game or not, I get too competitive.

Guess who's birthday is in two months?!

This is absolutely ridiculous. You know what's worse about hating the ministry? Having both parents work for them.

I know it won't mean much coming from me, since I really don't talk to many who is effected by this, but I am sorry this is happening. I really wish something could be done about this.

Can tell I'm slightly annoyed today yeah? Though I don't think it's just the Ministry, I'm feeling kind of stressed too.

Blah blah blah.

Okay I'm done now.
