Oh, goodness, has it really been two weeks that we've been back to school?  I knew that seventh year would go by quickly, but it truly feels as if I've just stepped off the train an hour ago.  (My pile of schoolwork, of course, tells a different story.)

I'm going to the House Unity party, of course.  All the Prefects ought to.  I think I'll dress in Ravenclaw colors.  I always did like blue!

Well, this could certainly be interesting!  I'm looking forward to going back to Hogwarts this year.  (Not that I'm ungrateful for your family's hospitality, Susan, I promise!)  I'm determined to make it a good year- not that I'm trying to go out with a bang or anything, and it's not really hard to be better than last year, but, well, it's seventh year!  We've made it this far, and it's exciting- at least, I think so.  I'm sad that Professor Dumbledore won't be returning, though I'm sure Professor McGonagall will be a good replacement- she's always been kind to me, at least. 

Oh!  And I've been selected to be a Prefect for Hufflepuff again this year!

I wonder if it's too late to get a summer job?  There's only three weeks left, of course, so I probably couldn't find one anyway...  I just- oh, I don't want to go ask my father for money for school supplies.  Mum always bought them, before-
