Alright, I have a question, mates. So one of my favourite songs is by that old Muggle band, Oasis—you know the one that's like "Because maaaaybeeeeee, you're gonna be the one that saves meeeeeeeeeeee. And after alllllllll, you're my wonderwalllllllllll"?

Thing is, I realised today that I've never actually understood what a 'wonderwall' actually is. Like, is that a thing that I just don't know about? Or just something the drunken Irishmen made up in a pub? Am I just dumb? And why in the world did I never realise the weirdness before now? I guess maybe when you like a song, you don't necessarily have to connect with the lyrics, if you like the melody. I mean, that sounds weird. Because shouldn't you know what a song means when it's your favourite? I guess I sort of think I know what it means. But maybe not specifically that word.

Uh. Yeah.

So. Who wants to go camping Muggle-style over break?

And who else should we invite?

Warded to Elliot

Er, are you still not speaking to Corrie?

EXAMS ARE ALMOST OVER, EVERYONE REJOICE. I personally think Ravenclaw Tower needs some lightening up, pranksters of the castle.

Er Except, of course, as a Prefect, I cannot condone things that break school rules.

How is it no one has mentioned doing anything remotely fun over break yet? SOMEONE PLAN A PARTY OR SOMETHING PLEASE?

Also, uh. Who wants to ~~give me their not~~ tutor me in Potions? Before tomorrow morning?

Ed.

1) How are you doing?
2) Want to do something fun over break?

Has anyone seen my Transfig book? I threw it somewhere and I can't seem to find it.

Also, Lys, you were saying really weird things in your sleep last night. I mean weird for you even.

I have had A Revelation.

ATTENTION EVIE ANDERSON. YOU ARE THE MOST BEAUTIFUL CREATURE TO WALK THE FACE OF THE EARTH. (Sorry Ed, you're second.)

Will you please do me the incredible honour of having breakfast with me? And lunch, and dinner, and probably breakfast tomorrow? I feel like I'm a little too young to propose, but rest assured that those are my intentions: HONOURABLE.

Please say yes?

Potions is by no means my best class; it doesn't come naturally to me at all. Which is why this homework is not any fun whatsoever. I had thought it would be better since my partner is my friend, but really, there's very little that would make this appealing—maybe the promise of some sort of prize at the end. Can we ask Podmore to give us prizes?

Anyway, the point is—Athena, was the potion supposed to turn slate blue after I added the lacewings?

Let's play our own journal party game. I don't want to study. So there's this Muggle board game that my parents and siblings and I love, and it's called Apples to Apples. I don't have the actual game with me here, but I think I can recreate it without needing the game, and it'll be more fun that way anyway because you won't be limited to cards.

I'm going to post an adjective. You come up with a noun or proper noun that you think I will choose as best describing that adjective, and charm it anonymous so I don't know who picked what. Since there are so many of us, let's say I'm only going to accept the first seven words and they have to be anonymous. Then I pick the one I think is the best, and the person who gave me that noun comes forward. That person gets a point and gets to choose the next adjective. Make sense? You can ask questions if you want.

Oh, and the first person to four points wins. And you know, don't cheat and put in more than one. That's not fair.

My best line of the whole play: "I am not such an ass but I can keep my hand dry." I am quite looking forward to saying that onstage. Ladies, do try not to swoon when I say it. I know it will be difficult.

On another note, can I just say how bloody thrilled I am that the Quidditch madness has died down a bit, now that we've gotten those first games out of the way? I get it, you lot love it and rah rah but there are other things to concern yourselves with. Like the following game:

You're all a bunch of sourpusses. Dates are lovely, whether you're interested in the person romantically or not, and even if you were signed up for that service as a prank, it's really rather tame as far as pranks go. I'll not have you lot ruining my All Hallows' Eve festivities, thank you very much.

Now go ahead, ask me what sexy character I am dressing as for Halloween.

Erm. Does anyone know...is there a spell to get glass splinters out of your skin? I may or may not have ~~barreled~~ ~~dove headfirst~~ run into a tower of glass goblets some third years were building in the Common Room and it may or may not have shattered into a million smithereens all over the floor and my body. And it may or may not hurt like a mother.

But let me take this opportunity, whilst bloody and battered and perhaps even fighting heroically for my life (is that Gryffindor enough for you?), to request something of a fair maiden. Lily Potter, will you do me the honour of accompanying me to the Halloween Ball? Presuming I live that long, of course?

Line up for swooning, please.

OI. I've just realized. I can probably hit higher notes in karaoke now. WHO'S DOWN FOR SOME GENDERBENT KARAOKE FRIDAY NIGHT? And look, I can wear heels and it won't even be drag.

Right then. Erm. Hal Gillespie, 16, Glasgow, Muggleborn, middle child of three. I have an elder sister and a younger brother, as well as a ~~sonofa~~ brother-in-law and a niece. This bit is boring.

What's your favourite family traditions?

Thank you, everyone who helped me celebrate my sixteenth. It was utterly fabulous (quite befitting me), and I am proud to call you lot my mates. That goes double for you what planned it. Cheers all round, and sorry to those of you who were too busy bothering about Quidditch to really enjoy yourselves. Your loss, really, but come now.

Mum and Dad's birthday package was really killer, I have to say. Mum sent her world-famous cinnamon oatmeal biscuits, which I AM NOT SHARING WITH A SINGLE ONE OF YOU. No really, I mean it. I've already hidden them and protected them with an inking hex, and I fully intend to gorge myself on them for a full two weeks. What is better, they sent me some cash for Hogsmeade next month, with particular instructions to get myself an owl! Mum said something about the school one I've been using nipping her quite hard last go-round, and said I was to find a "sweet" one. So what's the sweetest type of owl, anyone?

Warded to 5th Year Ravenclaw Boys

Dad also put some "good ale" in the package, presumably after Mum had wrapped it all up. Wrote me a note and told me to "be responsible with it, there's a good lad" and the whole nine yards, but I think he feels bad he can't take me round to his pub for a drink with him until Christmas. Shall we share it, chums?

What with all this discussion of the party and the anti-party and who's wearing what and who's taking whom to which, I think we've all lost sight of the truly important event which is about to occur.

And that would be my sixteenth birthday. A week from Saturday. Who's throwing my surprise party?
