Thank you so much for the comments, guys. I really appreciate them.

Well, today was a fun day in the library. Really the most fun I’ve been able to have period for about a month. With the upcoming OWLs, I’ve been so busy studying that I haven’t really had time to be the least bit SlytherPuffy.
Until today…
I had come to the library a few hours ago to do some more studying. I was actually having to carry all my books in a bag that was so big that I thought that I’d be knocked off my feet and unable to get up. That is how insane the Professors at Belle’s are!
So anyway, I finally managed to lug my huge bag into the library and was about to collapse when I saw that Pretzel was already there, studying away at another table. Or I should say looking like she was about to nod off on top of her textbook…
So I made my way over to her and slammed my bag on the table, sat down and started to build a mountain of books all the way around me.
And while I was doing this I heard the sound of a clatter. Looking around my huge pile of books I saw that Pretzel was on the floor. Apparently I scared her so much that she jumped up and fell on the floor. *snorts*
Anyway, she finally got up and asked if it was me that scared her and I replied that I was.
And we start talking about the stupid finals that were coming up and how dumb the textbooks were.
And right then I decided to throw my Arithmancy book flying across the room, where it narrowly missed hitting a bunch of people before finally hitting the far wall and bouncing off.
And Pretzel loved this!
She sent one of hers flying after that.
Then I threw first my Muggle Studies book into the trash can and then my Divination book out the window.
MWAHAHA.
Pretzel was really cheering then. Though she was a bit concerned that my books might have been damaged. But I told her that they could always be repaired.
I then exclaimed: 'Accio Divination textbook', and caught the stupid thing.
Which I claimed deserved that treatment after giving me a Raven in my tea leaf reading.
Pretzel was confused by this statement, as she had no idea what a Raven signifies. So I had to explain to her that it was a death omen. A death omen relating to close family members. And that Mads’ mother had gotten one in her tea leaf reading shortly before his dad was murdered.
This shocked her, naturally. She started asking if I had any relatives that were sick or old, and I told her that no one really was besides Benny. And I doubt that it would refer to him since he’s okay besides being in a coma.
Pretzel tried to reassure me that maybe it was nothing. Or that Mads might be a bit off there, but I really doubt that…

UGH!
I feel so foolish and frustrated right now. I barely even know where to begin!
This afternoon was the Quidditch Final. Which was exciting as it is really. Though it isn’t really the biggest issue right now as far as I’m concerned. *sigh*
It was a decent match, yes. But we lost… Though that isn’t my biggest concern either.
I am far more troubled by the subsequent Quidditch Party, Mads’ health and Pretzel’s carelessness.
Though I am not angry anymore. Which is a relief as I was so furious a few hours ago that I wanted to scream!
*takes a deep breath*
It all started really when Mads hit his head into one of the goal posts near the end of the match and pretty well knocked himself out.
I wanted to run over to him from the Stands, but I saw that Pretzel and a fellow team mate that I have never met took him off the field and took him to what I thought was the nurses.
But oh no, they couldn’t even do that!
Instead they led him to the Hufflepuff locker room and left him lying on the floor by himself so that they could go to the party!!
And how do I know all this you might ask…
Well, I know this ‘cause Mads told me after he stumbled into the party looking so sore and disoriented. I had been getting so worried when I didn’t see him join us at the party, and when he arrived he had to look so bad.
I rushed over to him immediately, sat him down, and gave him some water and a potion for his massive headache. Then I asked him where he had been.
When he told me, I lost it, marched right after Pretzel, and yanked her out of Ryan’s arms. I was that angry at her. I started yelling at her too, asking her who she thought she was leaving Mads alone with a head injury.
She was confused at first, but told me that it didn’t seem to hurt him.
I yanked her further out of Ryan’s arms and hissed in her ears that Mads had been in a coma last year and that he might have been put back into one. And tears threatened to fall when I said that.
And she felt so sorry now. And I started to feel foolish for getting so mad. But really I couldn’t help it. When someone I love is injured I can go into Mother Hen mode, and it’s so hard for me to control myself.
So I apologized to her. Especially since I can’t stay mad at Pretzel for too long…. She’s my McBolical One for crying out loud!
*sigh*
After that I made my way back to Mads and started fussing over him. First I was making a big deal of his injury, which he seemed to take lightly. Even when I told him that he was so close to being in another coma, he still shrugged it off!
I told him about Benny and he seemed to be sorry, though that didn’t seem to get him to want to be more careful… Men. *rolls eyes*
Anyway, after a bit of bickering I told him that he needed to eat and marched him over to the food table while still fussing over him. And he called me Mum. *snorts*
I swear that if he ever gets another head injury, I’m really going to lose it!
June 14th (8:15 PM)
Term is finally over!!
Yes, I have officially written my last OWL! And not only that, but today was the Great Feast as well.
Normally, at this time I am sad as it means months away from Hogwarts. But this year I am excited. Freedom! Finally! Freedom from Belle’s! And not only that, but we get Hogwarts back!!
Yes, Hogwarts is back. I dunno who did it, or how, but I love them.
Anyway... I was so surprised when I learned earlier today that the feast was not to be in Belle's, like I had imagined that it would be, but instead in HOGSMEADE.
That made me so happy!
But I was even happier still when I made my way over to Hogsmeade later that day and saw that not only were we eating at huge tables outside, but that it was a CO-ED feast! Yes, boys and girls were together again. The first sign of Hogwarts being back, I'd say. *spazzes*
So I saw Mads there and went and sat down beside him and chatted with him for a bit. Then I Jamie (who I haven't seen like all Term and missed tons!) joined us.
Oh, and I saw Pretzel there too. Me and Mads teased her about Ryan, and her obvious desire to go and join him at the Ravenclaw table. HAHA! She obviously wasn't too happy about being found out... *snorts* But we eventually got her to get over her fear of the Ravies and make her way over to see him. I swear that girl can be so cute. She was blushing and fidgeting with the hem of her skirt while stuttering reasons why she couldn't go there. Who knew that SlytherPuffs could be so adorable?
So, after dealing with my McBolical One, I started properly talking to Jamie. She has been doing good besides missing Suzy. But then we've all been missing Suzy...
And she was so happy when I told her that Mads and Suzy were cousins, that she asked that I send her a message if Suzy comes to Mads' place when I'm visiting him in a few weeks. She wants to stop by if Suzy comes there.
Oh, and she was also presently surprised when she learned that Suzy had a boyfriend. Though it was more approaching shock to be fair. Her mouth fell open. HAHA!
Then Jason - who is Jamie's boyfriend - joined us from the Gryffindor table. I don't really know the boy, but I do remember that he was the guy that got into that fight with Kyler last term. Over a stupid squirrel no less. The most retarded thing to fight over...
He invited me and Mads to visit the castle at LaQuidditch during the holidays though, so he's really not all that bad. Honestly, he's nicer than I imagined him to be...
And I got REALLY hyper. Like seriously I was practically bouncing in my seat.
After the invitation was made, Jamie and Jason got caught up in a conversation, so me and Mads let them be for a bit and just talked a bit more. It was really nice actually. Except when he started playing with my hair. That was... I can't describe it. I just... Felt this weird urge to snog him when he started doing that. I don't get it...
But fortunately I didn't. I only gave him a peck. I know how to restrain myself. *snorts*
And fortunately he stopped soon after that. And I was calmer too. I just kept hugging him and told him that he smelled good. And that got us into a discussion of my giving him a watch for Valentines Day because he didn't tell me when his birthday was. I pretty well scolded him for that. HAHA!
And from there we started talking about what we would do when I visited him. He wanted to take me to London and buy me something, but I was hesitant to let him. And I still am... I know he wants to get me stuff, but I don't want him spending even more on me. I know that the gift he got me for my birthday was probably really expensive. I dunno how expensive really, but I have a feeling that it was quite a lot of money. But I didn't tell him this. I knew that it would displease him to hear that. He's my boyfriend so he wants to buy me nice things.
But really it wouldn't have made any difference, as we were then interrupted by Ella, who joined the feast way late. During the speech to be exact... The speech that told us that not only was Hogwarts back, but that the House Points this Term wouldn't count. So Slytherin didn't win!
I was VERY happy about this. Even though I like Slytherin really...
I started telling Ella to hurry up and eat as the feast would be ending soon, and she scrambled to get her fill. And while she ate she talked to me and Mads and got to know him a bit, 'cause really their first meeting didn't go too well with Mads staring daggers at her across the table...
But besides calling him Maddy, he seemed to get along okay with her this time. And that was a bit of a relief you could say.
June 15th (9:41 PM)
I am officially HOME!!! And goodness it feels good to be back! I was smiling all the way home. Ever since my parents came and got me from Kings Cross station to be exact. I'm still smiling now.
It's been a good day in general, really.
Not only am I home now, but I got to learn a bit more about Mads too. I finally got to know a bit about my boyfriend's family.
Odd, I know. You would think that I would have known him well BEFORE I started dating him. But with the separation of the school, I didn't really get the chance to until now.
It started when I got on the train and had to lug all of my stuff to the back of the train because that was where Mads was sitting. In the very last compartment.
After he helped me put my luggage away in the rack we sat down and he said that there was something that he needed to tell me. And as he said this, he had a serious look on his face. He also got up and shut and locked the compartment door.
This put me on guard immediately, and I asked him what he had done now. I knew it was something bad. Fighting probably...
And I was right. *sigh* Not too long after he had gotten a concussion he had a duel with that Nico guy. A way to settle things he told me. He also showed me a new scar that he got on his arm. An L shaped scar that he said he got for me. *shakes head*
And I was not impressed. I got angry at him and started telling him that he was being foolish. That I worry about him so much as it is. And how I thought that he was changing now, done with the fighting.
And he seemed so... calm and sweet when he replied to me. I had expected him to yell back at me, but he didn't.
He just told me that I was right. That he was sorry that he made me worry so much. And that he really was wanting to change. And I believe him, actually. I just... I hate fighting now. I'm just so relieved that whatever was between him and Nico is better now. They aren't really friends now, more like acquaintances...
When he started feeling around his neck I asked him what that was all about, and he explained how it was a tooth necklace. From a fight between Nico and the boy that put Mads in a coma. Seems that Nico took out the guys canine and gave it to Mads.
So... Caveman.
Anyway, after that the talk sorta left that topic and went more towards our families. Mads told me about his first and his mum's side seems pretty cool on the most part. But his dad's side... Nasty people.
Mads has both an aunt and an uncle in Azkaban for DE purposes. Apparently his uncle Imperiused a 9 year old and tried to get him to kill people on the DE hit list. Poor child! And his aunt kidnapped a 5 year old and hid him for a year. Also for the DEs. And another poor child. It was rather sad to hear about, actually. Mads seemed so upset about it too. But then I can't blame him since he's related to these terrible people.
After that I decided to start talking about my family. I told him a bit about Vannah's side of the family. And about Conner. And then I told him a bit about my dad and his side, living in Germany. I didn't really say much of anything about Sam's side though. Their relationship is poor still and I don't want to really bring her up if I can help it. Hopefully next Term they can get along better and I can start to share that stuff with him then.
Anyway, we were talking and such until I got hungry and decided to go to the food trolley to get us some food.
And boy was I happily surprised when I got to that section of the train and saw Mia there. She had just purchased sweets.
She didn't see me as I ran up to her out of nowhere and tackled her, knocking all her candy all over the place.
I tackled her good. And I gave her a massive hug too.
Then I got up again and started looking around for her sweets while she seemed to be trying to regain her composure. She seemed so stunned and winded. I don't think that she expected me to tackle her so hard.
I gave her back her candy and helped her up. Then she gave me a hug and told me that she would miss me. Well I'll miss her too!
Then we got to talking about a few different things. About how generally an element of surprise is good when tackling someone. Especially if that person is Mads. 'cause really, he is my favourite person to tackle. And that led up to a talk of Flying and Quidditch.
We also talked about how I need to try my best for Hufflepuff next Term. I jokingly told her that I would be a Mia Clone. And she didn't seem to take it that well for some reason. Even though I was only joking. I dunno. *shrugs*
I then explained to her how I could be more like Vannah. 'cause really if there is any Mia Clone around the school, it's Vannah. HA!
Oooooh!! And Mia is getting MARRIED too!! To Tancred! She showed me her engagement necklace. It's a pretty diamond Quaffle charm. Very fitting for Quidditch players. *snort* Apparently she wants to get married on broomsticks. I think that's rather cute actually...
The wedding might be held in Ireland though. Apparently Mia's made the Quidditch team there too. That is very exciting. I'm so happy for her. She told me that me and Mads are invited to see her play a game there sometime and I told her that we would love to.
After that we went our separate ways, and I went back to Mads and spent the rest of the train ride chatting with him again.
Write more soon or I'll have to hunt you down. KIDDING!!!
