I will be The James Potter for Halloween. James. I need your hair for the potion.
Also, if anyone wants, the Leaky Cauldron is having a party of sorts. Halloween celebration? My mum said Hogwarts alumni get discount drinks and that we should seriously consider attending because she's never giving us discounts ever again. Her words, ladies and gents. Take it or leave it. I guess you don't have to stay for the whole time...we're open two hours longer on Halloween night too so...go bar hopping if you feel like it!

People who are tone deaf make me sad. This woman brought her son in for singing lessons and...he can't sing. He cannot carry a tune. His voice hurts my ears and I'm scared that it's going to break the windows in the studio. I tried talking to the woman, saying that I wasn't sure I'd have time to do lessons anymore because I'm working on an album...so she offered to pay double. Apparently her son is going to sing at her wedding. She divorced her old husband two years ago and is now marrying his brother. Insane, I know. Anyway, she's paying me double!! I have five customers now. Two singing and three learning instruments, one on guitar, one on drums and the other on flute. The guitarist has serious potential. She's fucking amazing at it. I'm thinking about asking her to play in one of my songs. She's 20 so I'm not creeping on her.
I've also been "promoted" at the music shoppe. I don't have to stock shelves anymore, now I just run register and I get to walk the floor and sell instruments. How enthralling. Anyone want to buy a guitar that costs more than a house?

Welcome to the music studio I have rented out. My dad's decided to help me out with the first few payments but I think I'll be able to do it after a few months. It's wicked. I recorded some stuff yesterday and my first lesson in it will be tomorrow. I have ten clients now. Ten. Dreams are coming true.
I sort of miss Hogwarts...treat my dad nicely, yeah?

That kid I'm giving music lessons to is awesome. He's already doing really well and he brought his little sister with him the other day. She wants to learn how to play the drums and she's seven. They're fucking hilarious when they're together too. Reminds me of Amy and me when we were younger.
Did everyone know that Molly is brilliant? She works long ass days, gets home and offers to help cook, I say no every time, and then she insists on cleaning up. Insanity I tell you. I have also come to terms with being your stereotypical house...boyfriend. No, I don't mind cleaning and cooking because I get to work with music the rest of the day. Best life ever.
[Ward to Colin]
Is it weird that I was looking at rings the other day? I mean, I'm not going to like...propose to her anytime soon because that's fucking mad and I'm not ready for that and I think she'd hit me, but I was just...looking. They're expensive.

I woke up this morning with our cat Charlotte staring at me. She's actually really cute and she's getting pretty big. Castle, on the other hand, was eating a plant when I went to make breakfast. I swear she's going to eat all of our plants.
Also, if anyone is looking for music lessons, give me a shout. My new project is setting up our extra room as a music studio. It's interesting to say the least because we don't have anywhere else to put the bed that was in there and...let's just say the apartment is a bit cluttered at the moment.
I got a job at a music place down the road too, so stop in if you want. Familiar faces are nice to see once in a while.

I never thought I'd say it, but I'm actually a little nervous to be leaving the castle. I mean, we have apartments now and our own lives and all that. It's just...weird. A little unreal. I'm still trying to wrap my head around it I guess. It's a huge step and we're finally at that point. I know it's sentimental and cheesy but...seriously? Congrats to all the seventh years. We made it. We made it and we're finally leaving. For good. We can finally move on to bigger and better things.
What was your favourite moment at Hogwarts?

I cut my finger open today. I was practicing a song and the string broke and just...cut it. It felt lovely. But I found out I grew another inch this year. Something I didn't think was even possible. I mean, when does one stop growing?
Also, Colin, I don't appreciate this fucking sign on my forehead. I understand that 'SMILE' in big neon letters is funny to other people, but not to me. I'm getting a headache from the light shining so close to my eyes. Take it off and quit practicing your fucking charms on me while I'm sleeping. Or I'll set up a man-eating plant in our room and lock you inside.
Hopefully everyone is remaining stress free?

My dad gets weird whenever this time of year comes around. He's been even more weird now though and I think it's because I'll be graduating. Every time I go into the Green Houses to see him he's working on something but shoves it away really fast. I'm worried because his homemade presents always turn out...cheesy as heck.
Anyway. The end of the year is soon and I can't wait to get out of here. I know I'll be leaving a lot of people, and I'll miss you all, but...I can't wait to leave. Mum said I got a letter from the university and it said I've been 'officially' accepted. I guess taking those classes over the summer paid off, no matter how annoying they were.
I hope you guys enjoyed the concert. It's inspired me to play more. If anyone wants to learn how to play guitar, let me know and I'll be more than happy to teach you.

I got bit by...I don't even know what the heck it was. But it bit me! I was getting a plant for my dad that just happened to be down by the paddock and the stupid thing gnawed at my hand. My left hand is now...all purple and...sort of cool looking...but gross. Apparently I get to keep it wrapped up for a few days and then it'll be better. But...sick. Colin. Control your animals.
Since my hand is currently gross, my dad needs some help in the greenhouses. He just got a new set of plants for the third years to work on and needs to rotate them in. So. Help is welcomed.
Ward to Dorm-Mates
So, I got an owl from my grandpa, early graduation present I think, and he sent me a few cigars. The guy goes through them like them candy. I cannot wait to smoke one and I am curious if you lot would like to join me? If you do join, you can see my perfected smoke rings.

Call me a cheeseball, but I have to say it. I am the luckiest bloke in this castle. I have...a beautiful girlfriend. She's smart and responsible, but at the same time she's funny and fun to be around. Molly Weasley...is the most amazing girl here. Beg to differ? Please, try me.
In other news...NEWTs? Anyone? Are you stressed? Excited? Are you dreading them or are you just itching to finish them? To be honest, I'm...stressed and itching to finish them at the same time. I just to get them over with and honestly, I think I'm going to do just fine on them. I have one essay to do this weekend and I've only got a foot left.
...yeah, that's about it.
Molly Weasley and one...of me so you can be jealous of her.

Ivan owled and asked how you were. He also got a job at a modeling agency to photograph, so that's pretty cool. He wants to know if you're interested in modeling for them...
How's the kitten?
End Ward
So, NEWTs, if anyone needs help with Arithmancy or Ancient Runes just let me know. I've finished all my homework for the night and I'm almost positive we won't get homework this week so I'm free. Give me a holler, I'll be...lounging around.
Also, if anyone is curious, my dad got a new plant in. I can't remember what it's called but it's pretty wicked. He's got it on a tree right now, the vines are at least three feet long and it moves around on the tree. So, I think you lot should take a look at it if you ever have a chance. Only downfall, it's purple and yellow.

Well. Peace, love and harmony are flowing in the school once more. Just lovely, isn't it? I mean, seriously, the kind of love and kindness that I've seen and heard about today? It just...it makes my heart thud with delight. Absolute delight.
I stopped a fight today. A Slytherin fourth year was beating on a Hufflepuff third year. I do not know why but...I stopped the little git. He ran off. But the Hufflepuff is fine. He got away with a broken nose and some bruises but he's perfectly fine. What's wrong with people? I mean...seriously. Fighting is stupid.
Oh, Colin, I think I took your last bottle of ink...so...thanks.
Ward to Molly
I ran into Elisabeth Higgs on my way to the owlery and...she looked pissed so I asked her what was wrong and she said that she was sending a letter to Mercy. Apparently...Mercy punched Joss. She didn't say why but...still.
Mercy punched Joss. What the hell.

So, to save...ink and time, thank you all for my presents. You didn't have to get me anything, but you did and I appreciate it. I mean...you only turn 18 once, right? Anyway, thank you and...thank you. I appreciate it.
[Ward to Dorm mates, Molly, Amelia, Mercy, Abigail, all Weasleys, Potters, Harrietta, and Nanette.]
So, being it's my birthday I wanted to have a little party thing. So, you all are invited to the Hufflepuff common room for a get together. I think there's going to be, food and stuff, I might even play a few songs for you lot. Um...yeah! That's about it. Come if you'd like or don't come if you don't want!
Let me know!

Happy Holidays. Like Fred, I will be sharing a few photographs of myself and my friends from Durmstrang.
( Photographs )
Anyway. I've been in a photographing mood since Ivan's been around with his damn camera. If anyone wants their photo taken, let me know I'll tell Ivan. He's still around and actually bugging the rot out of me with the flash in my eyes right now. So. Let me know?
Hopefully your hols have been fun.

The Hols are lovely. I'm going the Weasley's place soon. Honestly? I love their family and I can't wait to hang out with all of them. All fifty thousand of them. Okay, there aren't that many, but there's a lot. Very large family. Anyway. Yeah! The Hols are grand.
I think I'm going to go get a drink in the Leaky Cauldron...Molly? Join me. Wherever you are.

Anyone else think this auction thing is a little...awkward? And...wrong? I mean, yes, it's for charity but...I don't know. Selling yourself as a date? Sorta weird. Just my opinion though so don't hunt me down later with pitchforks and torches. But, in all honesty, I think it's a nice thing you guys are doing, giving money for charity. It's not everyday you see kids doing that.
Christmas is coming...and the goose is getting fat? Since when do people eat goose on Christmas? I don't.
Ward to Amelia
Sorry for being a git about the auction thing. Dad talked some sens I'll get over it. If Bast starts being a git to you during the ball, just let me know, yeah?

Oi. I found some of that alcohol we got from my mates at Durmstrang. Want to drink it tonight?
End Ward
If anyone wants to have extra hours in the Greenhouses please ask my father. Not me. Please. It's getting old. I don't have control over the Greenhouses. So now that that's all clear...
I don't have homework. For once. Oh and Molly, I finished that book and...I'm happy to inform you that you don't have any psychological problems! Woo! You are healthy. I already knew you were...but still. Good reassurance right?

Well well well. The big ball is coming up. Well. It's not really big. Just...fancy and stuff. Should be fun I think. Entertaining. But I don't really feel like talking about that because everyone is talking about it and being a follower is so not in.
I found a toad in the hallway. I almost stepped on it actually. You lot should keep your animals in check, yeah? Well. Technically it's an amphibian but you get it. I also helped a girl who dropped an ink bottle and her books. I think she was a first year because she was really short and just...tiny. She looked pretty nervous too. So I did my good deed for the day. She thanked me probably...fifteen times. That's an exaggeration, but still.
