I have been thinking, Anthony seems like he's primed for a career in politics or something equally dreary and respectable so I thought I would think of embarrassing stories that I will be able to tell once he's famous. You know like Sure he seems nice but I knew him when... that type of thing. The problem being that he is Anthony Goldstein. In any case I am going to start recording stories that I think of in the off chance that someone decides they need a human guinea pig and attempts to modify my memory.
I remember one summer holiday before fourth year when Anthony's parents let him visit. We were playing chess one day you see and Anthony went off to the toilet, and after a while I became bored with trying to decide if he would notice if i just moved one of his pawns, and started wondering what the hell was taking him so long, it'd been at least ten minutes. So I went upstairs and found him. In my sister's room, helping her put away her laundry - only she clearly was too busy with the nail varnish to help him. After a minutes worth of puzzled staring and some screaming at Agnes he was downstairs again, and after a while I calmly asked Goldstein why he had been helping the devil clean her room, and he said it was because and I quote "she had a biscuit she said she would give me. And it was the oatmeal kind. You know that's my favourite." My first realisation was that Anthony was sort of like our dog Mags and would do pretty much anything for a biscuit, but later that summer I read Macbeth and realised that it was much worse than that. And that Ladies, Gentlemen, and others, is the story of poor Anthony Goldstein. And now it's time for Charms, I think I have used the whole free period wisely.

Do you ever wake up and just realize something? A problem who's solution will suddenly become clear. Or simply seeing something for what it was all along, I am getting to the point of this entry, I swear I am. Basically the fact is that when I woke up today and started picking apart a particularly odd nightmare in which I was Pip from Great Expectations - I came to the realization that Hogwarts has become a bit like the bad parts of a Dickens novel. By 'bad' I mean the parts the character doesn't enjoy, like the beginning of Oliver Twist when he wants more supper and gets none. I don't care for Charles Dickens so this is a bit depressing. Was no one else forced to read the man's novels as a child? I don't want Hogwarts to become Dickensian, this must stop.

I'm honestly not sure if I want to visit Hogsmeade if there are "new rules" I mean the old rules were bad enough. Being on my best behavior the whole time has ruined the potential fun of many a trip. In conclusion, how many of you are actually going to Hogsmeade on Saturday? And would one of you be willing to buy me some sugar quills? I would ask Anthony but he has a tendency to give away or eat half the supply before it reaches me.

I'm aware that I've asked this question before but I need clarification. Why in the name of all that is holy is Peeves allowed to exist?

April came early to the newspaper world? The Daily Prophet staff have been snorting illegal substances? The world has gone mad... right that one doesn't work it was already sort of mad. Anyone else have a creative explanation? I am making a list. The person with the most creative explanation will win a pack of sugar quills, is that good incentive?
Also please disregard anything that may have been written in this journal over the previous summer months. It was not in my possession at the time. Thank you.
