Mental old bat just kicked me out of the fecking library fo- Just wait til she has the twins to deal with. Deserves every bloody seco- I swear to Merl-

I don't think I enjoy studying in the library very much.

All-in-all, I think the last week has been nice. Most everyone has been plesant, with a few notable exceptions, but then, I reckon it would be a bit silly to think that one could get along with everyone. Especially foul-minded fifth years who make obscen comments about one's ar-

Anyhow, aside from being pleased that the majority of you aren't outwardly plotting to off us Canadians, I'm glad for not having too much work to get done in the upcoming week. It's nice to know that the work load isn't entirely overwhelming. Coming to a new school is nerve-wrecking enough, I think, without adding the stress of falling behind on top of it all. Besides that, I'll likely have plenty of time to get out onto the pitch and run a few drills. I'm still kind of undecided on whether or not I'm going to try for the Gryffindor team, but it's better to be prepared for it in anycase, yeah? Though, I reckon it does depend slightly on what positions are open. It'd be brills to be on a team, at anyrate. I mean, having something to work towards and all. Pick-ups are ace and all, but not quite the same.

Bugger, it's nearly dinner and I really ought to have finished my Potions assignment before then...

The air is thick tonight. Deathly humid and what all. I always find it hard to sleep when it's like this. Dunno why, really. Just that sort of ominus feeling in the air, I guess. It's silly, yeah, but when the sky gets that hazy red and green just before dusk, I feel... I dunno, I can't explain it properly, but I get this odd sort of energy. Like I'm waiting for something big to happen.

Is that...

Thunderstorm.

Right. So I've just had a rather nasty encounter with a fellow who identified himself as the caretaker, Argus Filch. He seemed...less than thrilled that there were the lot of us mucking about the castle and all and I believe he was implying that he'd rather have us all locked up by our ankles and hanging from the ceiling. In anycase, I do not think I will look forward to running into him again...

And for the record, I'm not a fan of the disappearing step on the way to Gryffindor Tower.

Lucky that blasted cat isn't around yet. Though, Filch here is a quite a deal faster than Filch we know and hate. Hasn't quite got the limp yet and all.

Oi! Knew I'd find this around here somewhere...

Anyhow, I'm Ginny Wea- Winters. I'm new 'round here. Transfer student from Nova Scotia like the rest of us new lot. I'll be starting my sixth year at Hogwarts come September. I'm really excited to be staying in the castle. I'm in Gryffindor Tower which is brilliant, really. The pitch is also fecking brills. I haven't been out there yet, but I'm planning on it tomorrow. Speaking of, anyone around want to join?
