At first, I dreaded coming home for the Easter holiday. It was mostly because I'd have to spend time with my sister-in-law. Now, I'm actually quite glad I came home. Tabitha, my sister-in-law, is really nice. If I had a real sister, and not just one by marriage, I'd hope that my sister would be like her. Maybe then, I wouldn't be dreading dress shopping so much and my mum would let me be me.

Anyway, my ice cream date yesterday was brilliant and now I'm ready to go back to school, no matter how boring it may be.

I have to go dress shopping while I'm home. I don't want another useless dress that I don't want to wear. At least I've got an ice cream date to look forward to tomorrow.

It'll be nice to go home in a little over a week.

The Daily Prophet is just shite.

Is it terribly awful that I don't know my sister-in-laws' name? In my defense, I spent a grand total of two days with her over the Christmas holiday and had no idea she existed until Tony brought her home to celebrate with us.

Hogsmeade was enjoyable and it was lovely to get out of Hogwarts, even if it was only for a day.

Not having any classes yesterday was quite nice. I was able to catch up on the work that I was unable to complete on Sunday. Unfortunately, my Arithmancy book has gone missing. I had it with me in the Common Room yesterday, but since I used it to complete my assignment, I have not seen it. My name is on the inside cover, so if anyone finds it, please give it to me because my assignment is in there.

I am over this flu and out of the Hospital Wing. Thank Merlin. Close to strangling I think I'll spend the rest of the day in the common room and catch up on my work. I'm a bit glad that I only missed a day of classes, so I'm not terribly far behind.

With this flu or whatever it is that is spreading around the school, I should have stopped coming to the Hospital Wing to help Pomfrey if I had any sense. Though the Hospital Wing is the best place for me, I think I would have been a bit better off if I hadn't come because of stupid Mulciber.

I enjoyed Valentine's Day, mostly because of a certain bloke.

Now what I have to say may be known to most already, but in case it isn't known I don't want this to get all twisted in gossip. Matt and I are boyfriend and girlfriend.

And I nearly choked on my pumpkin juice when I was reading the Daily Prophet this morning.

I'm glad we won. It was a pleasant surprise after I woke up in the Hospital Wing.

My head hurts.

Tomorrow is the start of February. Which means in a little over a week... quidditch match.

Well, thinking about how the school year is going by so fast, it seems, I started thinking of summer which has gotten me to think about where I would rather be right now. I think that I would rather be in Italy or Greece right now. I hear its supposed to be beautiful, and there is just so much history there. Interesting history, that is. One day, I'd like to go. But I'd rather be there right now.

I need something to do other than homework right now. Matt's I'm so distracted. by Matt I am no longer bothered by that stupid rumour about me. Matt and I have Shite, rumours would be worse if I This quill is very defective. Anyway, my friends have been quite entertaining, so I've thought about it less and less. except it comes up with Mulciber

That gossip is not true!

( Matt )

It feels good to laugh. Better yet, it feels good to feel like me again. My good mood is from a very productive conversation about Quidditch strategy with two of my favourite Chasers. As of right now, my favourite one is Matt. So unless someone can out bribe him, he's going to stay in the top spot. Well, I'm happy, and that's about that.

It's good to be back. It was nice being home, seeing my brothers, but towards the end of the break, I was very annoyed with Tony and his wife. I still can't believe he got married and didn't tell anyone until Christmas day!

I'm in much need of Quidditch. Me playing it, to be exact. I don't really want to focus on homework at the moment. So, any takers?

Ryan swears that I broke his rib when I came home. He's such a wimp. I was so happy to see him. And Tony came home on early on Christmas Eve day. It was quite a surprise. And very surprisingly, he brought a girl with him. Oddly enough, Tony is married. None of us, not even Ryan, knew that he even had a girlfriend. But, all the same, it was nice to see both my brothers. Plus, they had a lovely surprise when they woke up Christmas morning, looking like girls. It was all good fun, yet it was a little botched. I feel out of bed and managed to fracture my wrist. I made Ryan fix it.
Well, I'm looking forward to the New Year. I hope its better than the last few months have been. I want to skip the month of February
