Tainted Soul

9:40am: I don't really mind that were not able to go to Hogsmeade. It wasn't as crowded. Rules are there for a reason. Those that didn't make it can stay here and do some detention time. I don't know if they had left that as a punishment but they should have. I don't have that problem, obviously. We had a great time.

I suppose that some will try to sneak off. Really, that is a sure sign of the stupid getting stupider.

Gwen
What are you doing tonight? I need to tell you about something.
/Private

Pansy
I got an owl from Mum since I had asked her what is going on. She said 'It is nothing to worry about, Dragon. You need to focus on school.' What does this tell you?
/Private

12:32am: I don't really want to return to school, although I will admit to a few good things about it.

Then again, staying at the manor has been bloody unbearable, and let's not even talk about my orders. My nerves are shot and his voice is possibly the most grating noise on the planet.

At least I have been able to attend the usual functions with a beautiful woman who has kept me sane through all of this and is quite fun to wake up to in the mornings

5:30pm: Deprived of all his thoughts,
The young man struggles on and on he's known,
A vow unto his own,
That never from this day,
( His will they'll take away... )

10:21pm: ( Quidditch Captains )

( Private to Michael Corner )

( Private to Gwen )

11:02am: No Quidditch at all? Seriously, WHAT THE FUCK?

I am not fine with that at all. Which ministry wank thought this was a good idea? That is one of THE ONLY things I was actually looking forward to this year. Does someone want to explain why this is necessary or needed.

I know I am overstepping someone but FUCK THIS. I have sacrificed enough in the last two years and for what - so every little fucking thing can be taken away and we can be told to follow directions and mind the system which is now punishing the people who have actually minded it.

If I get in trouble for speaking my mind - so be it. I'm done.

12:34pm: Another Sunday, another potions essay finished. It is very good, but that is expected. Now on to better things. I know we are supposed to write in this book but I really haven't had much to say lately, at least not to a book. Quite honestly, I get tired of everyone complaining about how awful this year is. It's ridiculous.

I have also come to several conclusions, the first being that the majority of our education does not give a solid foundation of what the real world is like. This year has been far more reality based, not just performing simple charms. Dark magic is not particularly dark. Half the time it is classified as such is because it happens to be used against it's original purpose. I actually did write a paper on that once. It was an easy O.

Now I need something to entertain me, or else I might have to go looking for something.

11:59am: Hogsmeade, finally. I have been going stir crazy with the restrictions at Hogwarts. There is a long list of those who will not be able to go for violating those restrictions. It really is too bad that some children cannot follow simple rules. I am not one of them, and don't plan on being. There are prices to be paid for stupidity.

1:04am: ( Package for Gwendolyn Montgomery left on her bed )

10:17am: Can we just hurry up to quidditch season? We need to have some practices at least. I'm looking forward to that. The Hogsmeade trip should be interesting. I haven't heard anything about a masque for Halloween but I have this feeling that there would be trouble there..

Pansy being jealous is interesting, not that I didn't know it. I would say that she has not but please, between he and I, is there really competition? No. I have spent entirely too long following rules. It is more than time to have some fun.

Welcome to all new IS members. I will see you at the meeting.

11:48pm: ( Private to Self )

I'm quite enjoying Dark Arts class. I couldn't stand Muggle Studies. I do wonder what is next, perhaps a course in hunting magical creatures? You get an O if you bring back a hypogryff. It also looks like the old groundskeeper's hut is completely burned out. I can't say I will miss him.

10:28pm: I am trying to read a book wondering when these little wanks will shut up about the Great Hall. So Crabbe and Goyle can throw a few hexes. I taught them well. Honestly, it was only a few hexes. It isn't anything to owl home about. Fuck, I need to get out of here. I think if I hear Hey, Malfoy again out of anyone's mouth, they will receive a hex that they will never forget. I have a headache, I have to study something and I lack any ambition to do so.

Can't time move a little faster? How many days until vacation? And don't even get me started on the head boy and girl complete load of shit. My mood is bad enough.
