TRICK OR TREAT MINI SWAP

Yesterday I sent my owl Misty out to deliver my package to my secret swap partner. I forgot to take a picture of it but hopefully she'll love it. I keep checking the horizon for an owl winging its way to me but I figure that it will arrive closer to the end of the week. Well I'm off to herbology class. I don't want to keep the professor waiting. ;o)

Go Ravenclaws!

I can't believe that we snatched the snitch! Way to go Agatha! I tried to figure out the clues I only got the one. I feels good to be a part of a great team. To celebrate we all had some butterbeer and buttery rum cake, not necessarily in that order. Trick or treat time is coming upon us and I'm trying to decide what I should dress as. Last year I was a sexy witch complete with the matching hat. Well I'm off to my History of Magic class!

HSKS 6

Well I've been doing really good with my potions homework. Snape has not been able to harass and embarrass me here lately. Hermoine is fully recovered from her freak owl attack although she is still a little jumpy whenever the owls come in the Great Hall to deliver the mail. Can't say I blame her though. I've just heard that my owl from Ophelia is on its way to me. I not even done wit her hat though, the bobbles are slowing me down just a little, hopefully I'll have it done by Monday but I still can't mail it. The muggle Post Office is closed on Monday for a holiday.

Hogsmeade,

I'm a first year so I'm not allowed to go. Shh! don't tell anyone but I put on my invisibility shawl and headed out anyway. My roomies had already gone ahead but I followed them at a discreet distance. I went everywhere they went enjoying myself immensely. Things got a little hairy for me when they went to The Three Broomsticks. I was almost sat on by Ophelia Crookshank who came over to tell Hermoine that she was glad that she was feeling well enough to leave St Mungos after her accident. It was at that point that I decided to go back to the dorm before I got caught. Well I'm off the to common room for some butterbeer and knitting.
