[Warded Against Charity]

What do you get a tiny revolutionary for Valentines Day? Should I hold a protest in her honor?

A little bird has told me that there is a Housemate of mine sleeping in the Common Room. I just wanted to let the crybaby know that his bed is fixed. Maybe he will come back into our room now. Not that I really care.

[Private to Charity]

I have enjoyed the carnival and everything, but I am bit tired of the crowds. Do you think we could steal away for a bit soon?

[/Private]

Lucius, I think we need to meet. I am thinking either the Library or the Great Hall. If we are going to compete together we might as well try to win.

[Private to MERC]

I can't believe this. I am sure that Malfoy is going to try so hard in this contest. I will probably end up breaking a bone.

Congratulations team! I guess King was right about all the hard work. Gryff put up a good fight, but we had just enough in the end. It was a good victory. I am proud of everyone.

King and Mel are you guys alright? I noticed that you two took the brunt of the damage. I barely had to dodge a Bludger all game! Good show.

Thank you everyone that cheered on Ravenclaw. The signs were great!

Oh, I almost forgot. Did anyone else see me catch the Snitch? I hope that someone got a picture of that. I would love to see it how everyone else did!

I just want to let everyone know that I was out. I do not care if I have a concussion, I am leaving this place. I hate being watched over all day. Pomfrey wanted me to stay longer, but I went ahead a walked out. I am sure the staff it to busy to stop me.

[Private to Aurea]

Are you still stuck staying in the common room? If so I will just meet you there.

I have been very spirited as of late. I feels great to be able to let off some steam now. Not to mention that we can actually go outside again. It seems that things are returning to a somewhat normal state.

It is good to see everyone back in the castle. I have to admit that though I rather enjoyed the quite I did miss a lot of people. Having a giant bed was nice while it lasted. Ravenclaw will be happy to know that I have returned the Common Room back to the original state. To my roommates you beds should be in perfect order except for Benjy's which should be getting a 1/4 of an inch shorter every other night.

It is great to not have to worry about classes all the time. It gives me a chance to work on my own projects. I have found this year that I get a lot more from practical experimentation than holding up in the library all of the time. I am looking forward to a nice holiday of academic advancement! And maybe some snogging

( Private to 6th year Ravenclaw Boys )

It seems that the approaching holidays have brought the love out in everyone in the castle. It is a good change of pace from what has been happening recently!

There seems to be a lot fo thought about what is causing these dreams people are having. I think it might be wise to stop thinking about what and start thinking about who. I think that would be a more productive thought path!

I know it is probably really late to be looking for a date, but do to recent developments I find myself going stag. Is there an available lass that wants to go at my side?

This is wicked, I love birthdays! Not to mention that it makes me a fully legal wizard. Thank you everyone for my gifts that were left on my bed. I just wish that we could go outside or something to celebrate. Oh well, I just that is just life. It is always good to have something fun to distract you when things are not going right. I hope to see everyone during calss today. Yes, I plan to go to class on my birthday Aurea so you can get over the shock. I am too close to my big breakthough to just take a day off.

I don't get this. I ate the food at the party and I feel fine. Everyone keeps saying that this is the food, but then everyone should be sick. And if something was going around as it has been suggested I do not think that everyone would have gotten sick at once. It just seems that everything doesn't match up.

[Private to Marlene]

Are you okay? I haven't heard from you since the party? I hope you are not sick.

[/Private]

It will be great to get to spend some time out doors. Even if it does mean having to see all of the Houses. Not that I mind, there are just some that I like more than others. I hope to see everyoen there. If anyone is looking for an outfit I have a tan suit that I have already worn to one fuction. You are free to borrow it!

[/Private to Marlene]

I made the mistake of asking you too late to go to the last function. I will not make the same mistake and let the pleasure of having you on my arm slip past me again.

It would be an honor for you to accompany me to the semi-formal. I will even wear you house colors since you wore mine last time. Will you go with me?

[/Private]

With thes lines gave me a chance to use a language I hadn't used in a while. Thank you Lucius for the oppurtunity. I promise I didn't butcher the English language because I know how much that upsets you!

I have got a joke for everyone since Sirius has been on a roll lately.

A blind wizard walks into a bar and sit down asking the barkeep if he wants to hear a Hufflepuff joke. After a long silence the barkeep replies,"Sir I am a Hufflepuff and I am used to handling a rough crowd on my own. I have my wand drawn. The man on your is a Hufflepuff, he is an Auror and has his wand drawn. The lady on your let is also a Hufflepuff and a Dueling Champion. She too has her wand drawn. So Sir, I ask you if you still want to tell your Hufflepuff joke?"

The blind wizard declared, "God no, not if I am going to have to explain it three times!"

My fellow muggleborns,

I want to get everyone together and talk. This is not going to be a rally for violence. It is going to be a meeting on how to stay safe. The older of us need to watch out for the younger ones. They are easy targets and I fear for them. Anyone that is interested can meet me in the basement on Wednesday Night at 8pm. Bring anyone that you think may be interested, but be very strict about who you trust. We will not exclude anyone except those that are outspoken against our kind.

Please protect yourself until then. Do not do anything rash!

Hurting those that are old enough to defend themselves is one thing, but to be so spineless as to hurt younger students in unforgivable. I am going to wear my wound as a badge of honor until it heals. To think that someone would be so scared of muggleborns to hex them and be nowhere in sight makes me proud. Their fear is my strength, their hatred my anthem. I will not rest until the ones responsible are found and pay for what they did.

I think the investigation should start with the people that have been heard uttering the phrase that is now torn into my flesh the most. A simple test of wands should free them of any blame if they have nothing to hide. It is obvious that a hex of this scale took some planning. The culprits are sure to have slipped up at least once.

So run, hide and cower if you must. The actions you have commited this day will awake the sleeping dragon inside all of us that have been injured. Our bodies may bleed, but our voices will not be silenced.

I loved the Ice Cream social. I think a great round of applause shoudl go to our amazing Head Couple for putting on such an event! I hope there are more to come soon!

[Private to Marlene]

Speaking of more to come soon, I hope there can be a little more time I get to spend with you coming soon.

[/Private]

Is everyone going to have dates for this Ice Cream Social? Cause I don't want to be the only git there by meself! I didn't know that it was going to be such a big deal. I think maybe I will have to bring a fuzzy little date. He is neutral colors! Speaking of neutral colors does anyone know if beige counts? Just a thought.

[Private to Aurea]

I can't get her out of my head! What is wrong with me? I actually transfigured a rabbit into a cup instead of a goblet today while trying to help a first year! I didn't make that mistake when I was a first year. I don't know what is happening to me!
