It's strangely empty in the room tonight.
And I can't help but wonder where four students are hiding went so that no one can find them. It's not like anyone can actually leave the school, so they must be here somewhere...
PRIVATE to SELF:
Or if it's safer there than it is here, because ever since what happened with Michael the castle has been a completely different place. And I don't know what to make of anything anymore. I haven't agreed with the brute punishment for a while, but if I refused I would probably be hung with them and I doubt I would be invited to their little hide out.
I'm sure Lydia and I will have a summons from the Carrows shortly, just to see if we know anything. I can't help but worry that the truth, which is I don't know where they went, will help anything.
I just didn't want Granger and her stupid cat touching my stuff. I didn't want this. Not at all.
Merlin, what do I do?

PRIVATE to GRYFFINDORS MINUS THE RUNAWAYS:
I can't imagine that many of you like me or even particularly respect me, but please just be safe as safe as you can and watch out for each other.
I don't think anything is sacred anymore.
You don't have to believe it, but I honestly don't want to see anyone else hurt or running for their lives. I just Please let me know if you need anything within my reason to produce and I will do my best to fulfill that request.

As my parents came out to visit in Hogsmeade yesterday, I think I will just settle for today being uneventful and that will be present enough. That being said, I did have a lovely time yesterday. It was nice to get out of the castle after all of the tension left over from Friday morning.
Although I mig
Do you think that sort of thing might actually be on the NEWT exam?
PRIVATE to STUDENT AUTHORITY:
Between the curfew, no Hogsmeade for many and Dark Arts on Friday, I worry that more people might be prone to act out to fulfill a need to rebel. I'm wondering if we can be more proactive about this rather than as reactive as we have been in the past? Especially with everyone grouped in their houses all night. Does anyone have any ideas?

PRIVATE to SELF:
Contraband or not, there was no way I was not going to read it. I mean it's important to know what's being said, even if it is rubbish because people still might believe it. You just have to know what you're up again. And I'm sure if I have my notebook this would all feel a lot better because everything was in there. Now I just feel all unhinged and jumpy.

I am not going to repeat the messages everyone has heard contentiously for the past day as I don't quite see the need.
Instead, I find myself looking forward to really working on the ancient runes assignment.
PRIVATE to GRYFFINDORS:
I have replenished the bowl of sweets out in the common room. Hopefully I have rationed correctly and there will be enough left until the holidays for anyone in need of something to enjoy while hanging out in the common room.

I don't even understand the purpose of having ghosts live at Hogwarts sometimes. Poltergeists seem particularly unnecessary. I think I have rubbed my skin raw trying to get the dye out.
PRIVATE to GRYFFINDOR:
You have until curfew to make all the little comments and jokes you would like without retribution. After that there are no guarantees. I am not in a particularly good mood.
I have also seemed to misplace one of my notebooks, if you see it around the common room please turn it back into me. It has my arithmancy notes that I'll need for tomorrow.

PRIVATE to ANDREW KIRKE:
You should take me to Hogsmeade on Sunday.

I find it quite distressing that not only are people all across the board unable to follow rules set fourth, but new rules are seemingly created at will without prior education. How one can manage to stay abreast in such a situation is currently beyond me. As such I am open to any suggestions that can be made to rectify this problem.

I don't suppose it is much, but I'd be happy to share my notes for classes today and for the next couple of days to anyone who might need them.
PRIVATE to THEODORE NOTT:
While, I can't say I condone any of what is going on today, it does appear that a number of the students were instigated and while one would hope that should be able to mind their tempers, things have been quite emotionally charged over the past couple of days. By no means should any sort of wrong behavior be punished, but after Miss Parkinson's somewhat tactless words I think a small act of good faith might go a long way into calming the student body.

I'm sure it's akin to pointing and saying 'look, the sky is blue,' but I am somewhat distressed by the general attitude of the student body.
While I can respect times of change or transition as challenges for people to accept, but I can assure you that acting out is not going to make things better. It is after all, far easier to swim with the current rather than against it.
Beyond the essentials that a school is required to give it's students - shelter, food, and an education, all other things are privileges. Privileges that can and will be withheld for any and all individuals who continue to break rules.

I'm not sure if yesterday was the backlash of the favoritism that Gryffindor was afforded in the past, but I can safely safe that the message was received. That being said I had wished the message would be that things would now be on level ground rather than having favors shifted.
However, I remain optimistic that yesterday was simply a teachable moment because it is clear that majority of the student body truly only notices quidditch.
In the mean time I would suggest people to stop being so outraged and upset about what happened. It is over and done, all you can do is work to get it right the next time. That and I'm quite sure there is work to be finished because personally I think I am going to spending the rest of the day in the library to finish my assignment for tomorrow.
