The Owl has Landed!!!

Yesterday I arrived home and a big, beautiful brown owl was waiting patiently for me. I gave her some owl treats and let her rest a moment before she headed home to her owner Belladonna. I felt like a kid on x-mas morning as I tore into my package. Look what I got!

A bookmark, sock yarn with an exclusive Belladonna pattern, a crochet hook, Size 1 knitting needles, scissors, Ravenclaw patches, tapestry needles, tape measure, and stitch holders.

A hand sewn Ravenclaw inspired bag with wonderful and thoughtful pockets . Love it!

My Muggle Life Intrudes Once Again

Today I'm feeling in the dumps. I had to visit the muggle vet for my poor kitty Midnight. Turns out there was no hope, he was in kidney failure and  there was nothing that anyone could really do for him.  He has now joined my other beloved animals in Rainbow Hill Animal Heaven. Goodbye honey you will be missed.

I'm sorry that pesky muggle half of me got just a little carried away. I'm getting ready to put the finishing touches on my bag but I still haven't decided what to do about the handles. I'm sure that something will come to me before it's all said and done. I don't think that I'm going to make the early deadline for owls to go out but I'll have it out before the final deadline.

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.

Whew! Boy what a wild ride. I just landed from having quidditch practice and after a few tumbles somehow I was able to hold onto the broom. I'm headed to the doom now to study my potions homework. Snape already humiliated me in class today for being ill prepared to say the least. My roomies tried their best to help me but sometimes I'm just a little hard headed.

Man I'm having some serious problem trying to load my new avatar. I accidently added it to the Harry Potter blog. No I have to figure out how to get it to my personal blog.

Woo-Hoo!

I got my dorm assignments and two of the coolest roommates: Hermione Bagnold and Rowena Bladvak. I also got my spoilee Aurora Curlyfur and spoiler Belladonna Boomslang and both are in Gryffindor. I'm so excited that I have all sorts of ideas in my head about what my spoilee might like. I'm also thinking about competing in the Dueling, but I've yet to make my decision. I don't want to bite off more that I can chew. Well I'm off to potions class. I don't want to be late!
