( Warded to Michael )
This is my measley excuse of a journal entry letting anyone who cares know that I'm still reading these. Unfortunately. No interesting stories? Jokes? Even knock-knock ones. I'm bored enough for anything.
Memorable moment of the day: Really bad burn on my left arm. And I thought Horntails were mean. Don't understand a Fireball either.

I don't know whether its a good thing that I'm out of country because I'm safe or if its a bad thing that I can't be with people who probably need me there at this time.
Merlin, there are no words. I could try, but they'd probably come out flat. I just hope everyone is okay.

I wish he didn't have to fight. Now, I'm going to be a gazillion times scared for him than I ever was for anyone.

Dad wasn't happy when I told him.
Merlin.. "wasn't happy" is more of an understatement. He was completely RED when I had told him I wasn't studying some ancient herbal medimagic here, but about dragons. He yelled, glowered, lectured for almost a whole hour. I did feel bad, because I did lie to him. And when I tried to explain why, he still doesn't get it.
I don't want to be the perfect daughter he wants me too. No, actually, I don't know how anyone could possibly be perfect in this situation! A girl wants to do what she does and her father wants something else... she decides to do what her father wants her to do and keeps him happy while making herself miserable for the rest of her life? No, that's not being perfect. Because being perfect comes with your own happiness as well as making others around you happy!
That's why they say nobody's perfect. We can't please everyone. I can't bloody well please my parents. At least Mum doesn't mind what I do. My father on the other hand...
Well. My very first on-the-job examination in on Friday. At least the most I have to do is name body parts and the physiology, that should be easy. I've pretty much gotten most of it down. Just a bit more of the dragon's respiratory tract I would need to know. It's complicated but we were taught well.
I just hope the test questions wouldn't be too tricky.
After this, I can go back to London for the weekend and relax because the work next week won't be so grueling. I don't know if I can though what with what happened at home last time. That's a big maybe. If he hasn't forgiven me and never wants me back in his house again, feck it. I'll stay in China for life. That's what my original plan was anyway. To study here and also never see some people's faces again. More notibly my ex-boyfriend and his new fecking play thing
Whatever. I'll probably just wait till Tyler's old enough to travel so then I can ask Mum to visit. Its been a bit quiet lately. Well, not lately. Just... today. Which is strange because my cat is always knocking something over, but she's been a bit-- oh my God, if she's---

Tomorrow, Father is inviting me back to London for a dinner. And I'm actually going back for the weekend. Its time I informed him of what I'm doing. I know this will probably end in a huge row. I just hope Mandy hasn't gone someplace on vacation yet... I'm going to need a place to bunk the night.

And here I go I'm leaving forever The plane awaits. I'll be leaving in about three hours. Father thinks I'm going to learn of Ancient Healing. He knows nothing of dragon-breeding. In due time, I will tell him. Or he'll learn from Mum. Either way, I'll be gone and I won't ever be coming back here
I must say my time at Hogwarts was immensely enjoyable, and I'm going to miss it, along with many of its inhabitants including fellow yearmates. Good luck to you all in whatever you choose to do in life.

China. Feckin'... China. Did I honestly tell him that? I never even told my own family that, but I told my ex-boyfriend.
Blimey, I don't know why it even matters, just... I just might not be in England. I might never see anyone ever again. Especially if I move there.
I might also not get caught in the horrors of the war before it gets really ugly. So perhaps leaving the country would be the best options.
Maybe I'll move on this way.
[ against de's ]
Many say that they'll keep in touch. Perhaps we will during the summer. Perhaps we won't need to because many would eventually find themselves working together in the same workplace... the Ministry, or St. Mungo's. Or even somewhere in Diagon Alley.
What about those who end up traveling very far? Much too far for a local owl?

So the best news I've heard in probably weeks is that my baby brother is doing much better and Mum even went home with him a few days ago. That is utter joy, except now I wish I was able to see him over the Easter holidays.
Speaking of leaving, is it really necessary that Hogsmeade not be allowed at all? A few of us (I actually speak for myself, but I doubt I'm the only one) seem to feel rather uncozy, even with the prospect of the fashion show coming up in a few days.
I would also hope that even though we were not allowed out of school during the hols, we could be allowed back home as soon as possible at the end of June. Or at least witches and wizards of age and capable of making their own decisions.
I just want out of here, please

Despite Mum and Dad's wonderful gifts, yesterday was still the worst birthday ever.
I want to say I hate him, but I can't.

Bloody hell, I can't believe Are you okay? Do you need anything?
[ against de's ]
So, Mum had my brother last night. Born premature, yes. Mum joked in her letter that had he waited till the fifth to come out, they could celebrate our birthdays together every year.
She's doing well. They can't say the same for my newborn brother.
Utterly horrible about those deaths.. I don't even know what to say to those... my condolences, though, to the families.

Mum's apparently in the hospital because of some pain. It's highly probably my brother is going to be born premature, since it's only been 34 weeks. While it is exciting that it's almost here, I don't think any of us expected him to come so soon.
Of course, it's not definite that he would be born premature. But everyone is hoping he wouldn't. And then Dad ended the letter with his usual reasons for why being a Healer is so useful
Would we even be allowed to go home during the Easter hols? Won't some circumstances let a few students leave, at least? I think I'd really like to see Mum right now. And just leave the Tower

How the hell did that fall apart? We were doing just fine till I opened my mouth. Well, I had to open my mouth. The whole point of last night was to confess to him that I love him.
"Thank you?"
WHAT THE SODDIN' FUCK?!
I can't even look at him. It's like all I can watch is the back of his head in class, and if he ever turns around, I promptly turn my head to my book. I haven't talked to him since. I haven't even been close enough to talk to him.
Which.. really isn't right. Maybe at some point we should talk. Get it out in the open because its been two whole bloody days and we're just skirting around each other pretending like nothing ever happened.

Mum hadn't owled me for a while, that I was starting to get a bit worried, but she finally did -- she'd been at St. Mungo's. Complications in the pregnancy. She didn't mention anything more though I wish she had. But she's okay now. Merlin, you'd think they ought to let me know when it first happens!
I have to admit, I'm a little wary about this fashion show idea. Hopefully it won't be too close to the exams otherwise people who get too excited over it might, you know, not do as good on exams. But if its been approved, I guess its not too bad of an idea. I can help with makeup. Even have a few dress ideas (designer in the family and all) if anyone would like to use them.
Shouldn't there be refreshments, snacks and such served afterwards too?

TONIGHT!! Oh, Merlin, I'm so nervous but I can't wait!

Darlings, I'm going to need your bedroom during dinnertime on Wednesday. I hope none of you would have plans of sticking around there instead of going down to the Great Hall. Don't tell Michael anything though.
... and get your minds out of the gutter! It's nothing like that.

I have a little surprise for you. Wednesday, at 8, meet me in the commons.

Emma's gotten out. I or someone else might have left the door to the girls' room open. She doesn't really like the commonroom much, so I suppose the only other place would be the rest of the castle.
If anyone sees a stocky-looking Siamese cat wearing a red collar with a 爱 charm on it? Yeah, that would be mine.
In recent news, Mother went for her monthly check-ups, and found out the sex of her baby. A little late, but she was holding off for it to be a surprise, and... got too curious, I suppose. I'm going to have a younger brother. I'm absolutely thrilled, but with it due in just another three or four months... we didn't get off for Christmas hols, so what are the odds that it'll be any different during the Easter hols?
How disappointing.
[added later]
I've found her.. she wasn't even outside of the House, but rather inside the commonroom the whole time.

Best part of January is that the Chinese New Year is going to be on the 28th this time. Worst part is not being able to go home and celebrate it with the family.
Pity that it always falls during a time when we've just returned from school and it would be too soon to ask for a holiday leave for a few days. I haven't had a proper celebration since I was ten. Needless to say, that's one other reason to be excited over graduating.
Still haven't told Father that I'll be going into magizoology rather than Medimagic. Suppose I can wait till I start working before I drop the bombshell. It'll be too late for him to do anything anyway.
This is long overdue, but thanks, everyone for the wonderful holiday gifts.

I think I hear an empty boys' dorm calling my name and asking to give you company. Correct me if I'm wrong.
