Dear Diary,

As I write this; I'm currently sitting in my house in Sydney, Australia, it's absolutely gorgeous here right now although the heat totally bothers me. All I have to say there is thank merlin for air conditioning, I've met some totally awesome people here and I actually went surfing although I wiped out several times and went back to just lie on the beach.

The only reason I'm here earlier that I originally planned was because I needed to leave the drama that was going on at Hogwarts which involved me and certain people who wanted to make me just be incredibly frustrated all of the time. I mean I thought I'd seen everything at my last school but one of my "friends" chose to blindside me and totally give my boyfriend love potion "accidentially", what he said when he was under the potion was one of the worst things I've heard in a long time..

However, things with me and Gold are pretty much cool now; I'm not so much into the frenemy idea anymore considering how well we actually get along anymore.

Well, I've got to end this early since my new friends are calling me to come outside.

*pets Raven re: love potion incident* But yay for semi-abandoning the frenemy idea. ^_^

Dear Diary,

So I decided to spend my holidays in Sydney, Australia; best idea I ever had honestly it was the most fun I had since I was at Galway Academy, I really did nothing but hang out with people, shop and lie on the beach trying to get a tan (which I may say actually worked this time, I don't look so pale anymore.) It's rather a shame I'm with someone seeing as there were a bunch of guys would were like asking me for my number and wanting to know if I wanted to hang out with them sometime; merlin it's a challenge to be faithful when that happens.

It definitely was a little strange returning to Hogwarts after that trip because it was so cold here and like I wasn't used to it but I did run into Torin a few days after I returned; at that time he didn't really know that I had left which proves my point that if I randomly disappear for a few days that no one will even notice I'm gone.

Raven

Awww, they knew she was gone on Twitter. (I think) :xd: And lol at the whole summer/winter issue between England and Australia. So true, and yet still funny.

Points to Raven for trying to stay faithful, though. ^_^

Good update. Short but sweet. :P

Dear Diary,

Soo it's soon my birthday and I'm turning the big 17, hard to believe but at least I can use magic outside of the school during the summer without being punished for it; there's also other perks to this but I have to say that the ultimate number 1 thing will be that I can learn to apparate so I won't have to worry about taking muggle transportation when I head to Australia again during the summer just to hang out at my beach house, dude I swear I love that house more than the house I lived in when I was in Kilkenny; although it was pretty big and I did have a balcony that overlooked the city.

Dear Diary,

Well my birthday was alright minus the fact I ended up with both my parents in the same house for a change; I knew they didn't want to be in the same room as each other but it was important for them to both be around since their only daughter was turning 17, I was absolutely shocked at what they each gave me.. my father gave me a Jaguar XK and my mother (who's like my favourite now) gave this personalized Porsche, it was absolutely the most gorgeous car I've ever seen. I nearly fainted when she showed me the car, but like I have to be careful with that since I'd rather not crash it already.

Raven

Holy cow! Two cars? :faint:

Okay, now that I got that out of my system . . . :xd: *pets Raven for her parental issues* And the legally being able to use magic outside of school is fun. :P

PAMS

All I have to say is that Torin is jealous of Raven. :lol:

Dear Diary,

So the term's officially ended and unfortunately Ravenclaw got the House Cup and Gryffindor got the Quidditch Cup.. another dark term for Slytherin however next term will be different, since I will be a 7th year; I will be working as hard as I possibly can to achieve the goal of our house, to hold the House Cup. It's been a battle since Term 19 when we last won the Cup and we will finally break the curse.

The summer is definitely going to be awesome, back to Sydney with my friends there and also some of my Hogwarts friends and I'm having a big party at my beach house which will be absolutely awesome. Unfortunately the bad part of holidays is I've got to go visit my parents and knowing them they'll still probably be fighting like children.

Dear Diary,

So I made it to 7th year and now it's time to end my time at Hogwarts by coming up with some craziness that could get me into serious trouble but hey you're only in seventh year once, I intend to make the most out of my time left. My favourite of all my plans has to be skateboarding around the Great Hall while rocking green snakeskin heels which by the way are the cutest things I've seen in a long time.

I've got Gold on board (haha bad joke) with this plan and I'll have to see if I can persuade anyone to join me so we're not going to make fools out of ourselves. I actually spoke to her the other day while I was in Diagon Alley, I totally made the most epic entrance by trudging along; playing my bagpipes while other witches and wizards stared at me like I was crazy.

Okay I might be a little crazy, but oh well; I want the chance to break out musical instruments that I know how to play but others don't have any clue that I even own them.

Raven

:lol: While I can't say much of this is new to me msn chats ftw it's still hilarious. Except for the Raven and her parents angst.

Grayson so needs to meet Raven. :xd:

PAMS

:lol:

Rawwrr for bagpipes!

Good updates, Mandaranda.
More, soon?

=]

Dear Diary,

Well today was rather interesting to say the least, I've officially got a new partner in crime who's a 3rd year Ravenclaw named Grayson; she's cool and definitely can play the part of the innocent bystander well which will come into good use when we cause some serious trouble this term. I also met this really cute guy named Jasper in the Leaky Cauldron, he's a 5th year and a heartbreaker which is definitely intriguing, it's now a game to see if I can get him affected by my charm then break his heart. Too easy actually since he doesn't seem to put up much of a wall to stop me, it's a shame considering a game like this could probably go on through the entire term until I graduate (which by the way, I don't even want to think about)

I've still got about 9 more months until my 18th birthday, but I'm in no hurry to get any older actually. I wonder if I could stay 17 for awhile...

Raven
xox

Yay for a mention of Jasper!
Jasper: Really Cute? Raven, I am definitely more than that. *pout*

Bahaha, ah we'll have to see what happens between the two for this term. It'll definitely be an interesting year for them. ;)

Aw, me neither! :(

Raven: Well Mr. Ego, that's what I think of you.. you don't like it? Well too bad!

Oh for sure, it'll definitely be one of my favourite terms haha.

It is unfortunate that she has to graduate this term however, there will be other places where she'll still be. *nods*

haha! Stalking her and Jasper was definitely interesting. :lol:

PAMS!!

bahaha

Totally true! :xd:


And I'm with Whit-whit on the stalking thing. :shifty: :P

PAMS

Dear Diary,

The term's not even started yet and I think I've already got a new enemy, okay here's exactly what happened.. I was walking down the street in Diagon Alley playing my bagpipes and I accidently ran into a girl who totally flipped out on me; I believe I have found someone who's more of a looney than I am and I didn't actually believe that was possible but you'll never know what you'll find in Diagon Alley honestly. Speaking of being in Diagon Alley, while I was dealing with Miss Looney there; I noticed out of the corner of my eye that Jasper was looking at me, he has no clue what he signed up for when he agreed to play this game where we try to break each other's hearts.

After all I am the shall we say, most creative heartbreaker you'll ever meet and unfortunately boys tend to believe that I'm this pretty girl who's a tad clueless but that's just a charade.

Raven
xox

:lmao: And this just entertained me to no end to read. Even just the fact Raven admits she's a bit crazy.

*huggles her, and you*

PAMS

Dear Diary,

Just when I thought that I had enough drama to deal with, I've actually got something that doesn't involve Miss Looney (I know! It's shocking, isn't it?) but this drama is much, much more irritating. On a scale of one to ten; it rates at a fifty (okay I may have totally ruined the point of a scale there but whatever) it involves two Hufflepuff girls who don't know the meaning of leave me alone when I'm not in a good mood. You're poking a sleeping dragon here ladies and unfortunately for you, I'm not one to back away like a chicken.

Honestly I think I'm just going to be happy to graduate this June, so I can leave Hogwarts; head back to Ireland and persue a career as a professional photographer. Rather odd for a pureblood to want to have such a muggle profession but I don't care, I love taking pictures and I intend to do what I love since it's no fun otherwise being stuck at a desk working all the time on something that's completely pointless.

Raven
xox

Raven should go into whatever profession she wants. :yes: And I'd imagine there are Wizarding photographers anyway.

The poking a sleeping dragon things just keeps reminding me of Hogwarts' motto. :xd:

:glomp: PAMS

I wonder who those Hufflepuffs are. :shifty: :xd:

But I love the profession she wants to have. :yes:

PAMS!!

Dear Diary,

So the start of the term brought a new chance for Slytherin to end the curse hanging over the house to win the House Cup but it wasn't off to a good start when a few of the younger students decided to step out of line and forced our Head of House Professor Truebridge to deduct 50 points which needless to say made me immensely unhappy and incredibly frustrated. However I did manage to earn 5 points which made me happy since I was a little lazy last term (okay that's an understatement) and didn't earn a single point.

I just hope we can stay out of the negatives for the term and finally come out on top.

Dear Diary,

So I was dancing in the Room of Requirement earlier (Yes I'm being serious here, it's not a made up story.) and I didn't hear anyone come in until after I was done dancing then noticed Grayson sitting there and honestly I felt a little embarassed because no one at this school has seen me dance yet, even though I've got a plan for a dance off later on; doesn't mean that it wasn't still shocking.

But after that little moment was over, we finally got down to business and I just showed my plans which needless to say are definitely interesting but you know if I ended up getting caught with my plans then I'll just deny everything. (You really think that'll work?)

Oddly enough, I found Bludger hiding behind the stereo.. he's such a silly cat who loves to explore at times; I wonder what I could do about that.
