*pets Matt* The parenthetical made me giggle.

June 1st, 2076

Hate to say it but exams are here. Yes I know, they're totally not fun but unfortunately if I'm looking to have a good summer then I have to get them out of the way and start preparing for 7th year. 7th year means NEWTs which I have heard are worse than the OWLs but honestly, I'm not entirely concerned about that now since there are much more important things to be concerned with. Speaking of summer, yes I'm changing the subject because honestly just talking about them are frustrating and slightly boring but anyways.. I'm moving into my first apartment in London around late July since I have to go back home to LA for awhile; but Addison's coming back with me and I've got maybe one or two awesome people (one for sure) helping me move my stuff in so that's going to make everything easier for me.

I suppose I should stop writing here because I have packing to finish off in the dorm then I've got my first exam..

And more parentheticals to make my day. (of course said awesome person wil be around to help. )

Ah the end of term finally! And it's a Slytherin threepeat, or as I just like to call it.. the Snakes Sweep! But, as people have called us cheaters and all that nonsense; I'm not going to answer that because I don't see the point. We work just as hard as every other house. Now after that little moment of house pride, I'll get right to the point. I think that I can safely summarize this term with one single word, crazy; honestly from thinking that I'm seeing people at the school who I didn't think were actually there and then there was the hate potion incident, let's not forget dance class. Oh dance class, it's a good thing I knew how to waltz otherwise I probably would have tripped over myself and that wouldn't have been good.

But I met some awesome people and even though I didn't exactly earn a lot of points, I tried my hardest to do homework amongst trying to have a social life and dealing with family drama that just threw a curve ball into my term. These are the last words for this year. Closing the chapter of my 6th Year.

Soon to open the next chapter.

Two-thirds of that crazy involves a certain Ravenclaw. And indirectly the third part does too.

The newest chapter of my life at Hogwarts has begun and it just happens to be my last. To summarize what has happened so far, I ended up sharing a compartment on the train ride to school with Stella which honestly made the time seem to just fly by which is both good and bad; I'd rather savor the little bit of time that I have left at the school. The summer was pretty awesome, got moved in to my new apartment finally so now I don't have to head back to Los Angeles all the time. The one thing that I've noticed so far though, is the ridiculous amount of drama that happens from the train ride to the start of term feat; honestly that doesn't need to happen but whatever dude.

PS - I'm apparently a crup sitter now.. don't ask.

And so we have come to the last December that I shall be at Hogwarts, it also happens to be like two months and seven days until I turn 18 but that's besides the point here; the point is that Christmas is almost here and I get to stay at the school with Stella. Could anything make this holiday better? Well actually one thing, that would be if my mom got better; I'm really worried about it and since I'm not going back to Los Angeles until late June/early July. Hopefully my dad owls me and tells me that she's okay and I can stop worrying. Until then however..

Okay, since it's been exactly two months and a day since I last wrote anything [NEWT Year.. it's already stressing me out!]; I figure I might as well summarize what's happened. Since I've already mentioned the whole family problems, I'll move on.. so between studying and classes really much hasn't happen except for the whole.. firstie having a crush on me and wanting me to be her boyfriend. I'm still not entirely sure what to think about that since honestly, it's a little strange. Actually, I seem to be a magnet for the first years this term; not that that's a problem by any means since they can be pretty cool but I kinda do want to hang out with my girlfriend and my friends.

I should wrap this up, I'm not feeling good and I should go to the hospital wing since I'd rather not be sick on Christmas.

Well I think I can officially call the holidays that I spent at Hogwarts with Stella definitely one of the best Christmas' that I can remember, it meant a lot that we could actually have the time to spend together and not have to worry about classes or really anything else for that matter; it was just awesome. I think what also made this a good holiday was that my mom got better and went home a day before Christmas, it would have been great to spend time with the family but I made the better choice since after the summer.. I won't be getting to see Stella until possibly the holidays if she decides to come back home and honestly it's going to not be much fun not getting to see her.

It's the new year and that means two things, number one.. my birthday's coming up soon and I'll be 18 which means I'll be an adult and honestly that kind of scares me, it's like dude where did the time go? And second, I have to get back into studying even though I'd much rather not. NEWTs will be here before I know it and I'm not going to be unprepared for the exams.

Matt

Love the strategic not mentioning of other important parts of the holiday break. As in, what she's still getting used to

Merlin, it's been a little less than five months since I last wrote anything but it was for good reason; things have been a little crazy lately and I just haven't been able to find the time to be able to write anything that's not associated to classes. So, the first thing that I should discuss is that fact that I'm 18; legally an adult in both the muggle and wizarding worlds which isn't entirely important to me. I guess you could say it was a good birthday because I got to spend it with Stella, then again any time that I get to spend with her just is awesome. Not much had really happened in March and April, accepted for the fact that I was accepted into the University of East London with a major in Care of Magical Creatures and a minor in Muggle Studies; I hadn't known which subject to take so I just ended up picking both.

Now all my time's been spent studying for the NEWTs which have been incredibly annoying considering I have friends that I'd like to talk to but that can't happen because I don't seem to have the time anymore.

Anyway, I have to get back to studying now.

Stella: *snuggles Matt* <3

She had to do that.
