Uncle Vernon finally had the professional in this afternoon to set up my internet connection. Once I finally got the mail program configured, it nearly crashed from all the notices about my comments. I haven't sorted them all yet but thanks, everyone. I miss you all too.
Everyone else is asleep now, but I pretty much slept all day. I missed dinner tonight which is fine, because I probably wouldn't have gone anyway. The first week or so it was all right, I guess. They kept trying to take me out to places they thought I would like and Aunt Petunia got these funny twitchy tremory things when she was trying to find a place that made pizza like Sirius makes. They're still trying, more or less, but I'd rather just sit up in my room than be around them no matter how hard they try to be decent.
Mainly I've just been going through my stuff in my trunk. I guess it was Seamus and Ron and all who packed it, so thanks. It's alot easier to find stuff than it was the last couple of years. I found some stuff that I forgot that I even had. I don't know, really, it's like all those things that happened right before we left, it's was kind of hard to believe that it all really happened. And this stuff, I don't know what I'm supposed to do with it or if I should even have it, really. It's like maybe it should belong to someone else. I missed everything, and maybe none of this should feel very real.
It's late and it's quiet now, and it's not nearly so hot. I was thinking could maybe go down to the park or something, but it closes at sundown. Probably no one would notice anyway. But anway, I'm glad you guys are all having a good holiday, pretty much. Thanks for the owls and the comments and everything.

HELLO! HARRY POTTER? WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO OWL ME BACK AND TELL ME ABOUT THE FISH?!
| just_harry @ 2003-07-10 01:14 am UTC |
I don't know what you want to know, I guess. It wasn't even my idea.
(parent)| erniemacmillan @ 2003-07-10 01:16 am UTC |
Details, my friend, details! Did you really eat the fish while you were trapped in the rubble?!
(parent)| just_harry @ 2003-07-10 01:18 am UTC |
I wasn't even awake when I was under the rubble. I only knew about that because Remus told me.
(parent)| erniemacmillan @ 2003-07-10 01:20 am UTC |
You mean you didn't really start a fire and cook the fish and rip the head off with your bare hands?
I'm a little disappointed.
| potterstinks @ 2003-07-10 01:25 am UTC |
Yeah, Potter, do you mean to say you didn't build a compass out of Spellotape and a toothbrush in the midst of the Charms corridor's wilderness? Tsk, tsk.
(parent)| just_harry @ 2003-07-10 01:32 am UTC |
If I had had a galleon, I could have, I think. But I left my money in my room.
(parent)| potterstinks @ 2003-07-10 01:36 am UTC |
What were you thinking? Were you even thinking at all?
(parent)| just_harry @ 2003-07-10 01:41 am UTC |
No, I was sleeping through class. If only I had planned ahead.
(parent)| erniemacmillan @ 2003-07-10 01:09 am UTC |
Oh, wait, I suppose I'm just a Hufflepuff so I don't get to be caught up. I see.
| missgranger @ 2003-07-10 01:14 am UTC |
Harry, perhaps you should tell your aunt and uncle to relax if you want to be left alone. I'm sorry about all the e-mails; it wasn't very polite. Really, the summer hasn't been that great so far. Of course, the Prophet is up in arms about the attack, but you're really not missing anything. Have you started thinking about your NEWTs yet?
| just_harry @ 2003-07-10 01:16 am UTC |
No, not really. I don't even know what I'm going to do independent study in, even. What have you done with your summer so far?
(parent)| missgranger @ 2003-07-10 01:19 am UTC |
Harry, you really should start thinking about that. If you put everything off until the last minute, how will you ever know if you made the right decision?
I haven't done much. We visited my grandmother at the last weekend, but mostly I've been browsing through the seventh Standard Book of Spells. We're getting into some fascinating topics next term; I can hardly wait!
| just_harry @ 2003-07-10 01:28 am UTC |
Yeah, I probably should. There's lots of stuff I could do, I guess, but don't really know what part I should focus on. I was going to talk to Professor McGonagall about it before I went home, but it turned out that there wasn't really time.
How's your grandmother?
| missgranger @ 2003-07-10 01:32 am UTC |
Well, I haven't made any decisions either, if it's any consolation. Of course, one doesn't want to rush into these things, but there's such a thing as taking too much time. . . .
She's well, Harry, thank you for asking. You still haven't mentioned what you want for your birthday!
| just_harry @ 2003-07-10 01:35 am UTC |
I don't need anything, really. I can't think of anything, anyway. If I come up with an idea, I'll let you know.
(parent)| just_harry @ 2003-07-10 01:43 am UTC |
It's okay, really. I still get headaches, and I get a little tired and dizzy sometimes, but it's much better.
(parent)| missgranger @ 2003-07-10 02:05 am UTC |
Okay, Harry, I hope so. I've got to go to bed now -- you'll be okay, won't you? You won't stay up too late?
(parent)| just_harry @ 2003-07-10 01:30 am UTC |
A bit of one, yeah. How's yours? Did Hedwig show up yet?
(parent)| potterstinks @ 2003-07-10 01:35 am UTC |
If Hedwig is your fat owl, then yes. If Hedwig is a man for hire you sent to have me rubbed out, then no.
(parent)| just_harry @ 2003-07-10 01:39 am UTC |
Oh, okay, he should be there tomorrow, then.
Yeah, Hedwig is my owl, you git. She got there okay?
Has your summer been good?
| potterstinks @ 2003-07-10 01:47 am UTC |
Did you expect her to get lost? I've had her killed and stuffed, hope you don't mind.
My holidays have gone precisely as predicted. I am currently ill due to sitting in the heat for too long. Death is likely nigh.
| just_harry @ 2003-07-10 02:02 am UTC |
When's she coming back? I've got a letter to send to Remus, you know.
Are you ready for your test yet?
| potterstinks @ 2003-07-10 02:13 am UTC |
What are you talking about?
Your owl is sleeping. I'm not risking getting a finger pecked off to wake her up. I think you're getting a little too spoilt there, Potter. You will wait for your owl like everyone else does.
| just_harry @ 2003-07-10 02:18 am UTC |
What're you doing outside? It's the middle of the night!
(parent)| potterstinks @ 2003-07-10 02:23 am UTC |
I'm not outside. Why would I be using a computer out of doors? Who said I was outside?
(parent)| just_harry @ 2003-07-10 02:56 am UTC |
Obviously I need more sleep.
It's only about a week until your test, you know. Which can kind of seem like a long time, but it's just a week.
| potterstinks @ 2003-07-10 03:05 am UTC |
Yes, it is.
So, Potter. Given that it's night, are you currently glowing in the dark?
| just_harry @ 2003-07-10 03:08 am UTC |
Don't I get to keep any secrets? I'm not telling you that.
(parent)| just_harry @ 2003-07-10 03:12 am UTC |
I'm still not telling. You'll have to find out some other way.
(parent)| potterstinks @ 2003-07-10 03:14 am UTC |
Oh, I likely will. I won't stand for this sort of thing.
If you'll pardon me, someone's left gingerbread in my room and as there's no one here to eat it I've to dispose of it. Nighty night, Potter.
