Ammy's Secret Diary

[Just Before An Eclipse]

Dear D-

I know this is lame, but I'm writing in this anyway. I just I don't know who else to tell! I mean, Olli's sensible sometimes and she wouldn't worry about a little thing like this. But what if it's true! I don't want Olli to tell me it's true. But you can't, so it's all good. I suppose I should write down what's wrong but I do feel a little better already...oh, well it's a secret so I'll write it. That meanie Reynolds. He's worst than any Slytherin! I think he was misplaced. Though I guess he's "brave" picking on little first years. He said that I was always helping people. Like that's a bad thing! Plus, I'm not. I help here and there, but nobody's been pissed about it. I would know! This empath stuff is confusing, but anger, anger I know. Oh I shouldn't talk about that. Everyone here's missing their dad--I should be grateful I have one that loves me at all. Sure I don't think he likes me, but still. I'll go back to that Reynolds. I'm thinking of dropping his class to take Muggle Studies. I can learn everything I need from his class through the books--That'll show him, Mr. I'll fail if I ignore him. Besides, Muggle Studies seems interesting now.

I'm apparently terrible at keeping up with you. You were lost with my other school books for the past week. Not that I had time to write anyway. That history project took me forever, I wouldn't have managed it without Slinky's help. I really should go and visit him sometime. Maybe I can get him real clothes to wear instead of that sack he wears now. Though he definitely is weird about clothes. I don't know what to make of it. I should ask Olli about it. Or just do what Ginelle does and look it up. Some Ravenclaw I am. I'm always asking questions. I never figure things out on my own. People probably think I'm stupid, too much to be in Ravenclaw. It's like I'm an inquisitive idiot. I mean, sure the questions are always different but not everybody's gonna notice that.

Anyway, I decided I'm going to stay in all of my classes until the end of the year. Maybe Defense Against the Dark Arts won't be so bad; he's changed his style anyway. Now we're asking questions (it's the bane of my existence!) and he's answering them. I guess I liked it. Either way, I still having lingering effects of his class. See, we started Patronuses. Which are formed through a happy memory. First mine were fake, you know, from everyone else, but then I started thinking on my own. And I realized how lucky I am right now. I've made an innumerable number of friends, all you love me for being me. I haven't been teased once! It is incredible. With all that happiness inside of me, in that one room, I managed to make a fox! I'm not sure all the linguistics about it, but it seems to fit me well. But like I said I'm still crazy giggly. I feel like spinning in circles for no reason at all. Or maybe I'm already spinning?
