Frightful Experience in the Common Room
I do apologize for my last post. I really should have simply discussed it privately with the concerned party, but I was simply in such a state that I lost my better sense, I'm afraid. I shall try very hard not to happen again.
Things are progressing quite slowly this week - not that I mind as I need the chance to relax. Hopefully I will have time to work on a new LJ design for our dear Mr. Weasley that I did offer to make him. I can, however, make no promises on when I shall be finished with that but after Lavender Brown's quite - shall we say interesting - design, I'm inspired to hasten.
Millicent and Draco have been spending far too much time amusing themselves by cursing each other's computers, which has amused me at least if not then. The rest of Hogwarts, as Draco has stated, is positively dull. It is true. Excitement has been lacking slightly with the absence of quidditch matches, fights, and balls. Then again with Valentine's on its way, that may very likely change.
I was up very late last night in the common room. While I sometimes find sitting by the fire quite cozy and comforting, yesterday it seemed very unfriendly - eerie almost. I had been deeply immersed in reading the latest issue of A Study of Recent Developments in Wizardry and I had not noticed the time or that everyone else had gone to bed already. It is never pleasant to suddenly realize you are all alone in a very dark and very cold room that is barely lit by fire light. I quickly began to get my things together when I saw something move from the corner of my eye. I'm hardly some muggle born so I know what it's like to live in a place like this - there are all sorts of creatures from ghosts to boggarts to house elves. However, it seemed very shadowy and fast from the glimpse I had gotten so for a moment I thought it was the grim and it gave me a bit of a jolt. But I turned around quickly to find nothing. Then a few minutes later, I saw something move again across the room. I could not really *see* it because the lighting was so bad, but I could now tell it was far too large to be some animal. It was standing upright but did not resemble a ghost at all. So I called out to ask whoever it was to come out, but of course they didn't. I only heard more shuffling noises, and the thing - whatever it was - disappeared all together. From that point on I had the distinct feeling of being watched. It was a horribly creepy feeling. I think I woke Millicent up when I all but jumped into her bed. Thinking on it now, when the night isn't making me quite so irrational, I do believe I've spotted that Zabini fellow...

Why are you designing journals for the Weasel?! He killed my owl!

Draco, darling, I love you and I am very sorry about your owl. You know that. But Millicent and I have been talking and we think it's time you start to move on with your life...

So you've decided the best way for me to do that is to begin fraternising with the enemy?
