Well, it seems Saffron Fawcett was correct about these journals! Rather annoying, that sound is. Which, I realise, is the point, but I would still prefer a quieter reminder to update. It's disruptive when one is trying to prepare oneself not only for exams, but for the future.

I really don't have much to write. At least in publ I'm sure most of the Hogwarts population is more interesting than I. So how are you all doing?

I really have put off writing in this long enough. Not that I don't think it's a wonderful idea, of course! I've just never been much of a writer, especially when it comes to writing about my life. I never kept a journal or a diary, at least not the ones young girls usually keep. I did have a book of different experiments I performed, mostly very minor ones. I was just a child, after all.

My summer wasn't at all interesting, as I mostly read, studied and worked. Uneventful summers seem to be the norm amongst Hogwarts students, at least if what's written in these journals is to be believed. Did anyone have an exciting summer? I'm probably late in discussing it, but I haven't spoken to many people since the year began. I've been so busying studying and doing school work.

My father sent me a letter. I hate that I have to worry if his writing me will risk his life.
