The worst is yet to come.

Public, morning

I have been seeing much of Hogwarts' very own poltergeist. Am I the only one who is being much amused by the grumbly Caretaker dashing down the halls after him shooting spells?

I am thinking the green menace was carrying away half the school's brooms. This could actually be a problem for Quidditch practice and flying lessons, yes?

There's just over a week left of summer vacation, and as such I'd like to remind everyone that I'll once again be a prefect this term. Though some of you made enthusiastic attempts to drive me into giving up my badge (or even into gettin expelled in some cases), I have not been deterred.

I know Caretaker Quoft will reiterate this, but I'm going to plead in advance with everyone to not bring all of those ridiculous toys to school that you'll be buying at the Quidditch Cup. As amusing as you think they are in the open air of the campgrounds, they're just annoying once you get into the school.

Thanks.

Ever since the Tri-Wizard was ending, I have been staying in a small, rented house outside of Manchester. I have been waiting, and recently I have been receiving all of the confirmation I haff have been waiting for. My approval to Hogwarts is complete.

My English, also, is improving. I still stumble upon words, yet I now at least know almost all that is being spoken to me. I will be needing this, I think, when the term begins.

Because of the acceptance, I am thinking tomorrow I will be going shopping in Diagon Alley. It will be nice to get away from the Muggles of London for even a day, I think.
