I suppose I mean to update this journal a bit more regularly but I feel preoccupied by other things at the moment - by my studies for one, but even more so, my mother. Despite the increased distance between us, she seems to have become a stronger presence in my life than ever. She sends me a letter every day insisting that I report the details of my life to her. She is primarily interested, of course, in my social life and significantly less interested in my academic one. Mother has not changed her mind about what she wishes my future to be, and while I am not entirely against some aspects of it, I do not foresee for myself what she does. I tell her this until my hands are sore and my fingers are bleeding, and yet, she writes back as if she has not read a single word I've written.
I have tried contacting my father, of course, but his secretary kindly wrote back that he is in the midst of an important business trip and will not have the time to reply back until at least another week. I wish he would, however, as I'm certain he could see my side of things and perhaps, he would even convince mother to listen to me. Besides, I am sure she would never question his decision if he set his foot down.
Studying itself goes on well enough, though mostly I stick to the Slytherin commonroom lately as it is far cooler there in June than in the library. It is funny to think I shall not be back to see this room again next year. Though I mean to see Millicent and Draco as much as ever, even upon leaving Hogwarts.

Darling, I would be ever so appreciative if you would. She is highly sensitive to your opinion of things if I recall.
