Private to Lily
Hello to you too, Lily. It's a new acquisition--and naturally I couldn't resist writing in it right away. My mother sent it to me today; it's a rather intriguing little journal, really.
I'm doing well--NEWTs are fast approaching, but I'm confident I'll be prepared by then. Things are the same as always here at Hogwarts, and as for the Head Girl duties... Well, being Head Girl is exactly what I imagined and nothing I imagined, both at once! It can be fun sometimes, though I'm sure I could never pull off another year in the position.
My own House is a rather large handful this term, actually. Not at all as subtle as you'd expect from Slytherins--which is rich coming from me, eh? I wouldn't exactly call myself subtle either, but still.All these things they say, about this new Dark Lord, about Blood Purity Like the Head Girl position, the Slytherins this term are both exactly and nothing at all what I've grown to expect. I feel as if they're watching me like hawks--like being Head Girl means I'm aligned with Dumbledore against them their enemy, somehow. Ah, well. I'm probably going back to Italy, at least for a few months, after I'm finished here, so their impact on my life is fairly minimal.
At any rate, it's raining pretty heavily here. Even the Squid isn't surfacing, and I suspect that the Lake has probably grown a little in size due to all that excess rainwater.Although I have doubts as to whether or not any wizard, Voldemort or not, can really control the weather--or what good it would do him.
You're right, the Potions essay isn't looking to be too difficult, I just have to sit down and write it. Somehow it's always easier to put it off if I know it'll be an easy assignment to do. Most likely, I'll just have to sit down (somewhere, anywhere, although the abandoned classroom idea is a great suggestion--thanks!) and put quill to parchment and get it done. It's not that the Commons or my quarters are particularly loud, really. I just like to have a spot to do my homework, and another spot for relaxation so I'm not tempted to relax whilst trying to get an essay done.
