elliot is not only a boy's name, tyvm.

No time for sweetness, but a bitter kiss will bring him to his ( knees. )

[Phil]
Yeah, okay. I guess I'm going to stop being a moron and say... I think we should talk.

Would breaking my wrist be minus or bonus points?

I have figured out exactly what I need.



Lucy, can I borrow some your make-up? ♥

Yeaaah, I confess. Those muffins were SCRUMPTIOUS. They had chocolate in them and everything, so I guess that makes them outright sinful. But, you know, rowing is a lot harder than it looks, and totally non-romantic when SOMEONE is laughing at you for making the boat go in circles. Whatever, kids. One knut for my broken heart, or however that goes.

What would Eli's opinion have to do with anything, though? It's not like he's not DATING, and they didn't say anything about him.

[Your royal highness Phil]
Welp, sorry you got dragged into this. At least they didn't know about the greenhouses And stuff.

I really need you to help me with Arithmancy.

Please?

This is Mattyhias. He likes lemons, chasing cats, playing in the dirt and trying to eat everything he sets his eyes on. Baths, not so much; but he laughs when I laugh and it's the cutest thing. Especially for a baby who was almost TRAUMATIZED Also, he bumped his head against a bookcase and wasn't even bothered. Clearly my baby = boss.

That is all.

[Chase]
Hi.


I'm sorry... about what Corrie said.

I understand if you don't want to come back, but I always thought you helped us --the team-- out a lot. And, no matter what happens, you're my teammate. And my friend.

And, don't know if you've heard from someone, but right after you left, Corrie said she would quit the team. She just... ran off like that. McCormack was furious You would have NEVER-

:(

I guess we can't drink now that we are responsible parents, but do you and Diana want company?

[Aidan]
Um-

( Warded to Tanner )

Whatever, dudes. I actually think the babies are kind of not-horrific, and it's only two weeks. Like a challenge of sorts! Never a boring day, etc.

Good things that have happened lately:

+ Sleeping into a different bed for a night. Change of pace is good every now and then! Plus, there were a lot of pillows and his back was comfy
+ People acting crazy. It’s amusing
+ Managed to get the Ravenclaw door to open in my fifth try!!
+ Valentine’s! Got chocolate and cupcakes

Bad things that have happened lately:

+ Got dragged out of said bed by brother. Also got scolded
+ People acting crazy. It's worrying
+ Forgot diet. Whoops
+ Lucy doesn't like Ian anymore
+ WHAT AM I GOING TO TELL HIM?
+ I feel like the bad outweighs the good, even though I've run out of stuff to list
+ Actually, forgot I arrived late to Potions class, and my Euphoria potion came out all wrong

In summary: these days have been really strange, but doesn't matter;have chocolate. I guess.

OH SHIT.

[Warded to Hogwarts Team]
A feel a bit sorry for Salem... they really bit the dust in this match. Roald and Katja are like killing machines. They've all improved since the last match, really. Not that we are staying behind! I hope Danny and Charles can-


I wonder what happened to Riley, though?

You know what the best part of being able to use magic outside of school is? NOT HAVING TO WRAP A BILLION PRESENTS. Of course, it took me a bit to get that flip right, so some of the paper became a little tangled up and things, but nevermind that! CHRISTMAS IS DOUBLE THE FUN IF YOU CAN USE MAGIC. Even cleaning the house is so much easier, and ever since I nearly set the house on fire had that unfortunate accident with pie, I am banned from helping in the kitchen, so YAY. I'm just in charge of setting the table and helping with the dishes-- only I can't use magic with that, because mum insists I will break something. Psh!

Ramble, ramble, ramble. I forgot I was going to wish you all a belated Merry Chrismtas!! Or whatever else it is you celebrate!! Are there any Jews here, even? Hopefully you are all having a good time, and eating well, and getting whatever you asked Santa for. Personally, I AM having fun, and enjoying mum's cooking!! ...No, Chase, I am not stuffing myself. Chill.

[Warded to Ian and Max]
Ugh, I'm so glad I can ward the both of you without having to ask da to do it for me. They. Keep. Giving. Each other. Looks. You know who I'm talking about, right? THESE LOOKS AND LITTLE SMILES AND I CAN ONLY HIDE IN ALISTAIR'S ROOM FOR SO LONG. Can I crash your places for one night? Or at least stay there for a while?

Also: I haven't got a dress yet, because mum is picky as hell and YOU WOULDN'T BELIEVE THE AMOUNT OF STUFF I'VE TRIED ON. I'm going to die.

[ooc- Lauren and Dawn: I hope you're okay with Elliot bitching about Eli and Nikki! XD Keep in mind she exaggerates a whole lot]

UGH, I LOVE YOU ALL.

Thank you for the gifts, people!!! You lot make me feel so spoiled. And we're finally seventeen, which means I can FINALLY DO MAGIC OUTSIDE OF SCHOOL. I've got a snazzy pocket watch from mum and dad, too! It makes me feel like an adult, which I suspect was their intention.

Overall, I think this was an awesome weekend. Seeing mum and dad on Friday, HOGSMEADE DURING BIRTHDAY, and you lot being amazing? YES. Even the dress I had to wear yesterday wasn't so bad! My legs were a bit cold, though, and running around in underwear is much more fun. Better than a sparkly tiara, yes? OH, and the play was ace, too!! Even though I understood only like half of it-


Now...

To cram for exams

[Eli]
Soooo. Honest question: is there anyone you like?
[/]

[added after this]

GAAAHHHH!!!!



THAT WAS MY FIRST KISS, YOU STUPID ARSE!!!

I refuse to go out of the dorm until this kissing and dating epidemic is over. REFUSE.

[Warded to Eli]
I'M HAVING YOUR TWIN CARD REVOKED, BROTHER.

I would have told you if I was planning to ask someone for the ball, but NOOO...

You know who you tell these things to? To the people who have embarrassing pictures of you.
[/]

BALL WAS AMAZING, ETC, ETC, EVERYONE'S COSTUME WAS AMAZING, HOPE EVERYONE HAD FUN, I SURE DID! Next time I'm going as something disgustingly terrifying, though. It's good to change things sometimes, but eh. Going back to the point of this post, I was going through the family album, and found a long-forgotten jewel. Did any of you know Eli uses glasses to read? Usually he uses contacts, but this one time he lost them during the summer, he had to get an emergency replacement...

( Wave Wand for Pictures )

Charming, innit? ♥ I don't know why he doesn't use them anymore!

MY JOURNAL JUST EXPLODED. Didn't know so many people had signed up!!

[Warded to Eddie and Corrie]
And did you two ACTUALLY sign up? At least Corrie gets Albus, who's nice but now asking me about what girls like and I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY, but Eddie got the guy who's always stripping. I don't know whether to laugh or... nah, I think I'll just laugh.

WELP. Got detention for next week. Had to happen sooner or later, folks, and I'm actually SHOCKED it wasn't sooner! My pumpkins are to blame, obviously. I think aunty Professor Jones was a little mad that she was having trouble catching them, but it's not like I knew so many important people would be coming to Hogwarts! I just made them extra stealthy so Corrie and other people looking for stress relief wouldn't blow them all up so soon!

That's professors for you. They say they want you to be creative and expand your horizons and all that shite, and THEN they put you in detention when you actually follow their advice. Not that I'm bitter-- just sayin'! I wonder if she'll get mad at snowmen, too?

ANYWAY, SO. I've got my costume ready, so if anyone needs help for them, I'd be happy to help! Especially because I've got all my spare pumpkins confiscated.

[Warded from Prefects and Head Boy/Girl]
AND WHO WANTS TO HELP ME GET THEM BACK? I hope they haven't been made into pies yet, and who knows, maybe those important people will appreciate my works of art.

... Or maybe they'll give them a heart attack, and that will be equally amusing!

Private to Eli
Soooo, how was your date?
/Private

Why does it have to be Monday tomorrow? I know the piles of homework we're going to get are going to make Hogsmeade look like a distant dream. But it was awesome! And I got more pumpkins! Which means... well, if you've seen them, you probably know what it means. I shouldn't spoil the surprise.

... You know, I think the headmaster should hire me to decorate the castle for Halloween. Of course, I'm starting to get a few ideas for Christmas (three months 'till the year ends!), too, but I'm going to need SNOW for those. Lots of snow. Do you hear me, God? I WANT A WHITE CHRISTMAS THIS YEAR.

[Private to Lucy, Nikki and Gee]
So… you already know Eli is going on a date with Ophelia, from Ravenclaw, right? What does he see in her? Is it the robot talk?



WELL, FORGET ABOUT HIM. I We don’t need him to have a great time.

Nikki, I'm sorry I didn't reply to your last journal post! I've been horribly distracted. Did you decide on Crusts? I think we should go on a tour through everywhere! I already told Ian we should go buy candy at Honeydukes, but I know you know that's a must.

[Private to Ian]
I'm pissed. First we get Flint as the Quidditch captain, now thi- Come beat bludgers with me?
