Thanks Whit!! <3

And another entry... cause I need to get caught up before the train arrives...


******************************

September 2, 2065
The moment I walked off the train, I knew something was different. I found Kingston, who seemed to be solely interested in finding one person – Lindsey, the girl who kissed my ex. But before anything else could really happen or be said, there were these new professors shoving us off into separate carriages; and by separate it was ‘boys over there’ and ‘girls over here’. That was when I knew something really was up with Hogwarts this term and I started to get paranoid.

As captain and a past prefect, I knew that I had to do what they told us; set a good example for the younger kids. Despite the revolting that was already taking place, I made my way into a carriage with none other than Lindsey herself sitting alone there. We talked minimally, before we joined by some other badgers, including Rapunzel Black. It was a long ride over to the school; a school that was not Hogwarts at all. We weren’t being taking to Hogwarts, but to some other school. As school later identified as ‘Belle’s School of Magic for Witches’. No boys! Which meant that I wouldn’t have to see Tancred after all; that actually made me quite pleased after the train incident and the bookstore incident. Sure I still had feelings for him, but the less we were together, the easier it would be.

The only good thing about being a witch myself was that we still had the Headmistress; which I knew we did when she said to say goodbye to the opposite gender.

Once we arrived Hog- Belle’s School, we entered the great hall per usual, but it wasn’t the same. Slytherin had an elegant table that seemed out of place, as it was dressed for queens… Ravenclaw had the second nicest table… Gryffindor and Hufflepuff were the worst though; no knifes or proper silverware and the quarters were completely cramped. I didn’t even want to sit down, it was so bad. The benches looked as though they would give splinters and wasn’t hungry at all anymore. At that point, I just wanted to see my common room.

Hearing the Headmistress’ speech for the start of term, I knew then she wasn’t happy with the situation. If there was a problem, at least I had her to go to. Naturally, once she was finished with the speech and said to eat, I still wasn’t hungry. Not after seeing the Great Hall injustice and hearing Rae talk of the changes. So I did what I usually did and walked up to the staff to greet them; only I apparently interrupted the wrong group…

The fearful duet, who I later learned to be the Groundskeeper Dion and the Flying instructor Wystan, was who I wound up talking with and they were not happy about my introduction. Here I was trying to be the friendly student, when Wystan deducted 5 points for being rude! I never lose points. Pouting, I left them and shifted my focus to the sweet librarian instead; she was always good to me and would at least put me in a better mood. For the time being…

…

Once the feast was declared over, not that I had eaten anything, we were shown to our common rooms. The nice thing about Belle’s was that were allowed to enter other house common rooms as long as we were escorted by a member of that house. Hufflepuff’s common room disgusted me; it was LILAC! Hello! Hufflepuff has colors of YELLOW and BLACK! Not Lilac! Horrified, I tried to make the best of it and just went to sleep… it would be a long seventh year – that was for sure. Besides, I had other things on my mind like whether quidditch would actually be happening.
