I hate this rain. Can't it just be spring? The entire castle is restless, no-one wants to go outside into the sogginess, so everything is more crowded than usual. Someone was sitting at "my" table today when I went to the library--a Gryffindor who I feel sure has probably never been in the library before.

At any rate, I'm through with classes for the day, but I have a Potions essay due on the Draught of Living Death on Monday. Since my table was occupied, I had planned on trying to do it in my rooms, which is nice, quiet, and comfortable (one of the perks of being Head Girl, I suppose), but there are so many distractions here as well, some far more effective than having to share space with someone, or whispered conversations going on all around me.

There are some days when I feel like I could stay at Hogwarts forever, and others when I can't wait to get out into the world, to do something with my life.

Mother owled me today about my post-Hogwarts plan...she was enquiring as to whether or not I would want to continue "the family business", so to speak. I don't know how I feel about this yet...politics aren't exactly a safe zone to be in, what with this impending war business.

I want to do something to help--still, placing myself in such a high-profile position would be a foolhardy thing to do. Especially so soon after Hogwarts. I could possibly do more harm than good.

But there is more to think on than that. I imagine, what with the network of contacts I would surely acquire, it would be an invaluable resource.

What am I talking about? I don't know anything about joining the effort against this Dark Lord of whom my fellow Slytherins occasionally speak. I shouldn't be hasty to make a decision.

Nonetheless...perhaps I could be posted to Switzerland.

Hermes is restless...this weather is certainly very peculiar. Could this have something to do with

At any rate...I have a Potions essay to write.
