Current mood: annoyed

ACK ACK ACK GOD LIFE
I'M GOING TO GET A D IN POTIONS AND GET 2 N.E.W.T.S AND END UP A BUM IN DIAGON ALLEY AND THEN I'LL GET OLD AND FAT.

I'M SERIOUSLY CRACKING UP MAN, WE HAD A PRACTISE EXAM IN POTIONS AND I GOT A P, A BLOODY P, I WAS DOING FINE IN POTIONS AND THEN I CRACKED UNDER THE PRESSURE AND GOT A P!!!!!!

Speaking of P, I got a P on my journal! What's this? Does this count towards anything?! Is it going to lower my N.E.W.T.s??? Just because I don't post important, personal information for everyone to see doesn't mean I deserve a P! I think I'm going to have a word about this, I'm not going to take a P lying down. Though at least I didn't get a D, my mum would have killed me. Still! P!

N.E.W.T.s start Monday, I've got a written Astronomy exam first thing. Also, WHY DO WE HAVE TO TURN IN OUR WANDS FOR INSPECTION, DO THEY REALLY NOT TRUST US? JUST BECAUSE SOME KIDS CHEATED WHY DO THE REST OF US HAVE TO SUFFER? Honestly! I'm not going to cheat! Who wants to earn their N.E.W.T.s by cheating anyway, wouldn't you feel like a fake for the rest of your life?

I heard some people don't know what they're doing after Hogwarts, that sounds really scary! I'm going to be an Unspeakable and it's bloody wicked but I can't tell you anything else about it, so stop asking! I've to train forever and a half but it will be worth it! And then I'll work with my brother which is also cool as hell!

I don't know what I think of Potter taking Hermione as his date to a wedding, but I don't think I like it. What's he trying to say? He doesn't even like girls. What an arse.

What? We just went as each other's dates because Ron had Parvati with him. It isn't like it was a real date.


erniemacmillan @ 2004-06-19 08:18 pm UTC

Oh, so you can't be seen without a date, is it?

(parent)
just_harry @ 2004-06-19 08:23 pm UTC

Yeah, that's it. I just can't do that to my image, with my being a ladies man and all.

(parent)
erniemacmillan @ 2004-06-19 08:29 pm UTC

Potter I think you're going to have to change a few things if you want to be a ladies' man.

(parent)
just_harry @ 2004-06-19 08:34 pm UTC

Is it my glasses?

(parent)
erniemacmillan @ 2004-06-19 08:38 pm UTC

For one thing, yeah! And another, you're pretty quiet, no one's going to fall for that shy quiet act these days. BUT THERE'S ALSO THE PART WHERE YOU'RE GAY.

(parent)
just_harry @ 2004-06-19 08:43 pm UTC

I'm okay with my glasses though. I mean, I think being able to see is pretty cool.

(parent)
erniemacmillan @ 2004-06-19 08:46 pm UTC

You would, wouldn't you!

(parent)
potterstinks @ 2004-06-19 09:45 pm UTC

Don't be dreadful, Potter. Being able to see is dreadfully unimportant if Macmillan thinks you shouldn't. He is, after all, a paradigm of greatness.

(parent)
just_harry @ 2004-06-19 09:50 pm UTC

So you're saying I should get rid of my glasses.

(parent)
potterstinks @ 2004-06-19 09:53 pm UTC

I didn't say that. That would be dreadful.

(parent)
just_harry @ 2004-06-19 09:56 pm UTC

Oh? Any particular reason?

(parent)
potterstinks @ 2004-06-19 10:01 pm UTC

During Potions, if one looks the right way, one can see your dreadful potion reflected in the lenses and see that your potion is an entirely different colour than everyone else's. It's quite funny, and if you didn't wear glasses I'd actually have to stand up and look.

(parent)
just_harry @ 2004-06-19 10:07 pm UTC

We're never going to have Potions again, Malfoy. Friday was the last class.

(parent)
potterstinks @ 2004-06-19 10:11 pm UTC

Oh, yes. That's true. In that case, my particular reason is that they suit you.

(parent)
just_harry @ 2004-06-19 10:14 pm UTC

How do they suit me?

(parent)
potterstinks @ 2004-06-19 10:17 pm UTC

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.

(parent)
just_harry @ 2004-06-19 10:20 pm UTC

What? Why are you laughing?

(parent)
potterstinks @ 2004-06-19 10:23 pm UTC

I'm laughing at what you've just done.

(parent)
just_harry @ 2004-06-19 10:26 pm UTC

What did I do?

(parent)
potterstinks @ 2004-06-19 10:29 pm UTC

Oh, I'm afraid I couldn't possibly tell you that.

(parent)
just_harry @ 2004-06-19 10:31 pm UTC

Why not? What am I doing?

(parent)
potterstinks @ 2004-06-19 10:35 pm UTC

The fact that you're doing so intentionally is what is making me laugh, actually, as it's quite funny coming from you.

(parent)
just_harry @ 2004-06-19 10:43 pm UTC

I don't know what you're talking about. I'm not doing anything on purpose. I can't believe you'd say something like that. Maybe you're hallucinating again.

(parent)
potterstinks @ 2004-06-19 10:49 pm UTC

Must you always be so Potter-like?

(parent)
just_harry @ 2004-06-19 10:53 pm UTC

I can't really help it. I'm weird that way.

(parent)
potterstinks @ 2004-06-19 10:56 pm UTC

It's enough to drive a person mad.

(parent)
just_harry @ 2004-06-19 11:01 pm UTC

Well that could be fixed you know.

(parent)
potterstinks @ 2004-06-19 11:09 pm UTC

Well, I've just choked.

But I have to copy down my History of Magic notes for Crabbe.

(parent)
just_harry @ 2004-06-19 11:11 pm UTC

Did you really?

Can't you do it later? I thought you said Millicent was going to help you with that.

(parent)
potterstinks @ 2004-06-19 11:14 pm UTC

That's for me to know and you to ponder. Am I exaggerating? You shall never know.

Evidently, Millicent is busy.

(parent)
just_harry @ 2004-06-19 11:21 pm UTC

Or you could just tell me.

Is she okay? Nott slammed her pretty hard. I can't believe someone knocked Millicent off her broom. I didn't know Nott was that strong. He's not big or anything.

(parent)
potterstinks @ 2004-06-19 11:26 pm UTC

Oh, she's just fine. Now she's letting Nott make her cat a salad. He's never even been on the Quidditch team.

(parent)
just_harry @ 2004-06-19 11:31 pm UTC

He's making a salad for her cat? That's a little weird.

(parent)
potterstinks @ 2004-06-19 11:42 pm UTC

Yes, as a matter of fact, it is. And now I've to work my fingers to the bone all by myself. Do you realise how many scrolls of History of Magic notes I have? I've already got ink stains all over my fingers, I got ink on my neck when I scratched it, my shoulders are stiff from hunching over the table, my left ring finger is sore from holding my quill too long and my sleeves won't stay rolled up. My mouth is drying out from thirst. Soon I will wither to nothing. And why? Because Millicent is busy.

(parent)
just_harry @ 2004-06-19 11:48 pm UTC

That sounds serious. Why can't you do it tomorrow?

(parent)
potterstinks @ 2004-06-19 11:51 pm UTC

Because N.E.W.T.s begin Monday and Crabbe's surname starts with a 'C'.

(parent)
just_harry @ 2004-06-20 12:00 am UTC

But we go home next Wednesday. We're leaving soon.

(parent)
potterstinks @ 2004-06-20 12:02 am UTC

You make a rather persuasive argument.

(parent)
just_harry @ 2004-06-20 12:08 am UTC

Good. I meant to.

(parent)
potterstinks @ 2004-06-20 12:17 am UTC

I've nothing better to do this evening anyway, aside from nursing my abused, weary shoulders. It's difficult, carrying the weight of the world.

(parent)
just_harry @ 2004-06-20 12:22 am UTC

Your mouth and fingers, too. Better make sure they haven't withered to nothing.

(parent)
potterstinks @ 2004-06-20 12:26 am UTC

Lord, yes. It's a serious danger. I'm about to tie my shoes. I shan't bother washing the ink off, as I'm lazy.

(parent)
just_harry @ 2004-06-20 12:30 am UTC

Good.

(parent)
missgranger @ 2004-06-19 08:25 pm UTC

Oh, Ernie, how on earth did you get a P?


just_harry @ 2004-06-19 08:27 pm UTC

I was wondering if you wanted to have another date tonight in the Astronomy Tower, now that we went to Percy's wedding together.

(parent)
erniemacmillan @ 2004-06-19 08:30 pm UTC

WHAT?! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! SHE IS MY GIRLFRIEND YOU ARSECAKE! YOU ARE GAY! YOU DIDN'T EVEN LIKE JUSTIN'S PORN!

(parent)
just_harry @ 2004-06-19 08:36 pm UTC

But we went to a wedding together. Everything's changed.

(parent)
erniemacmillan @ 2004-06-19 08:40 pm UTC

I can't believe you're using your name to steal other guys' girlfriends now, Potter!

(parent)
just_harry @ 2004-06-19 08:44 pm UTC

It's not got much to do with my name really. Hermione's just fond of having first initials that match.

(parent)
erniemacmillan @ 2004-06-19 08:52 pm UTC

Oh, and I can't be Hernie?

(parent)
just_harry @ 2004-06-19 08:55 pm UTC

Well, no. Your name is Ernie, not Hernie.

(parent)
wheresmytoad @ 2004-06-19 09:05 pm UTC

Must have been some wedding.

(parent)
just_harry @ 2004-06-19 09:14 pm UTC

I can lie to you guys, but I can't lie to Ernie. He sees right through me.

(parent)
wheresmytoad @ 2004-06-19 09:24 pm UTC

True. The level of his perceptiveness is absolutely astounding.

(parent)
missgranger @ 2004-06-19 08:32 pm UTC

Yes, yes, a thousand times, yes.

(parent)
erniemacmillan @ 2004-06-19 08:33 pm UTC

I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS!! IS THIS BECAUSE OF THE P? IT'S POTTER, HERMIONE, HE DOES WORSE IN POTIONS THAN I DO AND HE IS GAY! HOW IS THIS HAPPENING?!

(parent)
just_harry @ 2004-06-19 08:34 pm UTC

I'll be the one wearing the red carnation.

(parent)
missgranger @ 2004-06-19 08:41 pm UTC

I'll wear scarlet to match.

(parent)
erniemacmillan @ 2004-06-19 08:29 pm UTC

IN POTIONS? I DON'T KNOW, MY LIFE IS OVER!!!!! DON'T LOOK AT ME, I CAN'T LET YOU SEE ME LIKE THIS.

(parent)
missgranger @ 2004-06-19 08:37 pm UTC

Don't worry, I'm sure you'll do much better during the actual exam! Being nervous is a good thing.

SCARLET WOMAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

erniemacmillan @ 2004-06-19 09:15 pm UTC

Well if you put it that way..

(parent)
turpinol @ 2004-06-19 08:37 pm UTC

Well, I only got an A on my journal, and that was just barely. I don't think it counts towards anything but itself, though.


missgranger @ 2004-06-19 08:40 pm UTC

Hello! How did you get an A? I got an E, and you post much more than I do.

(parent)
turpinol @ 2004-06-19 08:43 pm UTC

I'm not sure, really. I only started posting frequently this year. I had a slightly angst-filled year last year, and it wasn't much of anything that I wanted to share with the entire castle. I haven't kept up with this as much as my other studies, certainly, which I likely should have.

(parent)
missgranger @ 2004-06-19 08:48 pm UTC

Not that I'm complaining about getting an E, but I don't think Ernie deserved a P, and I'm not sure I deserved an E, either. I've never really liked having to keep up with a journal everyone else can see, so it's never that far up in my list of priorities. I can understand about having things you'd rather not share.

(parent)
erniemacmillan @ 2004-06-19 08:52 pm UTC

I'm just glad I didn't get a D!

(parent)
missgranger @ 2004-06-19 08:55 pm UTC

Me, too!

(parent)
just_harry @ 2004-06-19 08:57 pm UTC

Oh, haha. Very funny.

(parent)
missgranger @ 2004-06-19 08:59 pm UTC

It doesn't mean anything, man!

(parent)
just_harry @ 2004-06-19 09:04 pm UTC

Except, you know, dreadful.

(parent)
knight_to_h3 @ 2004-06-20 04:13 am UTC

I got an E!! Did you see?? These journals ain't that bad after all!

(parent)
turpinol @ 2004-06-19 08:54 pm UTC

I think giving people an open forum like this is a bit too tempting. When I'm upset with someone, it makes me want to post about how upset I am so that they'll know, and then I have to resist the urge to do so. Still, I never like getting an A on anything and I'm slightly disappointed in myself.

(parent)
missgranger @ 2004-06-19 08:57 pm UTC

Well, I don't think you should be disappointed in yourself at all! This is a trying assignment to keep up with at the best of times and I'm starting to suspect I got an E unfairly.

(parent)
turpinol @ 2004-06-19 09:10 pm UTC

I doubt it was unfair; you probably post twice as much as I do.

(parent)
erniemacmillan @ 2004-06-19 08:46 pm UTC

Oh. Well then. I think I post more than you though!

(parent)
turpinol @ 2004-06-19 08:50 pm UTC

Well, you post a lot of things like this.

(parent)
erniemacmillan @ 2004-06-19 08:56 pm UTC

What's wrong with that??

(parent)
turpinol @ 2004-06-19 09:06 pm UTC

Well, for one, you probably shouldn't have admitted you were just posting it to keep up with the journal.
