It's been difficult to find a moment to sit and write. In all honestly, the motivation to write hadn't been there in a long long while.
Papa finally got our new store open! I'm very pleased with how much business we're doing and he's talking about opening a second location on Hogsmeade, that deals more with potion ingredients than with spices and such. Other than that, it's been rather an uneventful existence. Morag is going to be a hit witch! I'm so very proud of her. I'm still same as always, boring old Padma.

Should I do this? Should I try and recruit Morag to the DA? Is it too dangerous...she wouldn't go to the Carrows. She's the last person who would do that. But she could very well tell me I'm mad as well.
I wish I knew what to do....
I can only do what I feel is right.

It's odd to have everyone back. I got quite used to the quiet and living without the bustling in the halls. Of course, I think the professors missed us more. I don't remember ever having this much homework the first day of second term!

I was wondering if...you were still angry with me.

It's been so quiet, and it's only the first day.
Many of the people who have stayed are those who were formerly of Durmstrang and Beuxbatons. There are many familar faces, though it seems very very odd to be here and not have classes every day, or to have to stick to a schedule. Many of the professors have stayed behind as well, and again, it is strange to see them not looking so very formal. Well, some of them. Professor Sinsitra came to lunch today in slacks and a jumper. She looks so different. Like...a regular person.
Otherwise, it has been quiet. I am still hoping to have a small gathering on New Year's Eve in the Great Hall for those who are here that day. Maybe even something to usher in the New Year, if we are allowed to stay up. Never having been here during the Christmas Holidays, I'm still uncertain to the customs in regards to curfews and such.
I hope everyone got home safely. Anthony, you and Michael don't make too mcuh trouble. Morag, write often? Please? Luna, take care of yourself, and also write often.
Theo, I miss you
[Private - to Padma]
The practise session for the DA...frightened me. It frightened me badly, though it should not have. Theo...showed me some of these things. He tried to warn me, but to see Ginny Weasley weild very many of the same speels with such--abandon? Resolution? I do not know, but it was disconcerting. The only ones of us who seemed not to be frightened or concerned by her display were Justin and Hannah. Then again, with what they have been through at the hands of the Carrows, such spells seem merely school lessons.
I wish I could be as brave as Justin seems to be. He carries his hand like a badge of honour, and I see him in class, looking defiant in Muggle Studies especially. I wish I were brave like that. All I seem to do is worry. Especially about Theo.
Parvati is still angry at me because I am staying. Amma and Appa are more understanding, but...I did not tell them the truth about it, and I am wondering now if it was the right decision, all things considered.
I'm so confused. And lonely.

Just a reminder to all the prefects, we have a Hogsmeade weekend coming up. Ginny, would you mind manning the front doors and keeping an eye out for those pesky second years stragglers and those trying to sneak out?
Today was the last day to tell yoru head of houses if you are staying for the Christmas Holidays. For those of use who are staying, I asked this once before, but didn't really hear anything back...
Would everyone like to have a sort of a party during the time we're here? Maybe around the New Year?

It is four days until the 12th: if you plan on staying at Hogwarts during the Christmas holidays, please see your Head of House right away!
For those of you staying what should we do during the break? I know that there will be a feast on Christmas and for New Years Day...perhaps we should have some small celebration for ourselves? In the great Hall or in one of the classrooms? Or something festive at the least? I know that Ravenclaw is having a party before we all leave for the holidays, that I am very much looking forward to.
[Private]
Amma and Appa are upset, to say the least. Parvati doesn't understand either.
I will have other Christmases and holidays with them. Who knows how many I might have with....
I am going to learn to make the best of what I have, with the time left that I have it with. That sounds so fatalistic. There has to be be a way for this to make some kind of sense. For it to be logical and concise. Of course...in matters of hearts and soul, concise and logical aren't always compatible.
I'll take what I can get.

BANNED!?
Does that mean prefect meetings as well?
Oh bloody hell.

The ward is not very strong and could be broken, so some words are visible, though not many of the words are very legible, because they're streaked, scratched out and/or tear-stained

I don't know what's gone on, but Luna's a bit...well a lot not herself. I'm going up to see her, she says she's in her bed but I can only hope that's really true.
I might need help getting her to Madame Pomfrey...if I can even convince her to come down.
This bloody day just gets better and better, doesn't it?

...does anyone know what happened to Luna?
Did anyone read all of that, I don't even know what it is?
Did the world get turned upside down today?

Is it me, or does it seem remarkably silent of late? I think even Peeves might be depressed and quiet. That might be a first.
It must be that post-Hogsmeade lull now that everyone is full up on treats and such or dead frightened because of what happened to Justin
A few more weeks, and Christmas Hols will be here. I don't know about anyone else, but I'm looking forward to going home for a little while.

Even with everything going on, I hope everyone is enjoying the break from classes. Well, some break from classes. I'm almost done with my last Divination assignment why don't I drop that class!? and Ancient Runes. This expanded coursework on Animagi is fascinating for Transfiguration. And ties into something that was asked of me a few weeks ago.
Halloween doesn't seem to feel the same as it's been in the past.

Ernie...thank you. I was not expecting that. I apologize...which I should have done sooner but...well..
Can we start over? I didn't exactly cover myself in glory either, and I know that. I don't want to make what's going to be a difficult year even more difficult. Everything just seems so--I don't know how to give it voice or clarification.
I'm sorry.
[/Private to Ernie]
...I want apricots. Instead, I have lemon sherberts. Which is something of a substitute. Something.

Remember everyone, Hogsmeade weekend is the 19th, this Saturday coming up. Please remember that Hogsmeade only for third years and those with signed permission slips. The prefects will be at the doors, checking their rolls for those trying to sneak out who shouldn't be.
[Private to close friends (fellow Ravenclaws, Parvati, Lavender]
I don't know why Hermione Granger was looking forward to this. I feel so...disconnected from everyone. I'm not used to being an institution. I know I'm whining. Perhaps they should have chosen Hannah or someone else who is more outgoing and better suited to this than I am. It was very different being only a prefect.
The added pressure of the Headmaster and the situation at hand don't help either. At least before, there was always the provision of being able to go home to Amma and Appa; that doesn't exist any longer, with this new edict of mandatory attendance.
Forgive me. I should feel so sorry for myself. I'm being ridiculous. It's just better to get such things out and if you can't tell your friends, well...who can you tell?

This is a reminder that as Head Girl, it is my duty along with the prefects to assist the staff in maintaining order and discipline within the school. Please keep that in consideration.
Prefects, we have a meeting on the 10th. Please do not be late.
Thank you,
Padma

It seems that I have missed a very great deal in these journals. I have been aware that is happening around me, of course. Mutilple people repeating the same sentiments seems almost futile. As always, if anyone requires assistance, Ernie and myself are always available.
