Well, it's almost exams.

I guess I wasn't really convinced we'd get here. Or I'd get here. Sometimes this year I wasn't sure I'd make it to the next week.

I was just reading back at the very beginning of my journal and it's hard to believe I didn't like it here. Now I don't want to leave. Well, I won't miss some things, but I'm used to it now.

And I think I may actually do pretty well in most of my subjects.

Still, it seems like we barely started and yet we're almost done. Does anyone else think that's weird?

I still think it's dead unbelievable that I passed flying.

It's going to be weird to be going home again, after exams.

[alt_pansy]

Yeah, but at least you get on with your gran and your sister.

I got another owl from mum and I guess I'll be back on my own a lot. I still hope Sally-Anne can come stay. I've sort of got used to having friends.

And there's the camping trip, that'll be wizard. Are you going on that?

[alt_neville]

Yeah, I am going. I don't know what to expect. I've never gone camping before, ever.

(Hope Perks will be able to stay with you, that'd be loads better for her than having to stay with another foster family she doesn't know at all.)

[alt_sally_anne]

I still haven't heard anything. Maybe if no one takes me I'll just go home with Pansy and see if her mum notices.

[alt_pansy]

Seriously, I bet she won't. We should just try it!

[alt_megan]

I think it's weird. I mean, I would. Except I don't think it seems like we barely started. It seems like this year has been forever. So much new. All crammed in. And we're not really almost done. There's still years and years. And years. I suppose

[alt_pansy]

Sure, but done with this year, anyway. And I know what you mean, because some things feel like they happened a long time ago. Like finding Marie, and then finding out she had a spell on her. I feel like I've grown up a lot since then.

[alt_megan]

I suppose things have changed since the beginning of the year. Perhaps I've changed too. Perhaps I've grown up some.

[alt_ron]

Yeah, it's just mad, isn't it, how fast this year's gone. Especially since Easter hols. It seems we just got back and now we're leaving again.

I'm not fussed about exams. I mean, either I've learned what we've done or I haven't and there's not much to do about that. Or it won't matter anyhow like in Transfiguration. I mean you could spend loads of time reading everything in the book and looking over everything everyone wrote down during class and then he'll just ask something we never talked about at all or that isn't even about Transfiguration. Like what Mr. Lupin's bird eats for breakfast or something.

I was going to look over some Charms chapters this afternoon, since I can't play chess and since it's raining again, but I can't find my book. I think I might have left it in the Great Hall on Thusday but I'm not sure. So, eh! I guess it'll just have to be all right. Whatever I know, I know.

[alt_pansy]

How do you think you did on Charms?

[alt_sally_anne]

I bet you did fine Pansy quit worrying!

[alt_pansy]

I know I did okay (although question 14 was sort of a trick), I'm asking Ron.

[alt_ron]

Meh. I don't know.

That one about what colour sparks you see when you cast a dicing charm instead of a chopping charm? Did you know that one?

I made a couple of things up, I think. Like, I think I said that the charm for getting stuff out of a bottle is Evackuare (that's not how you spell that, is it), but I kinda don't think that's right. What did you put for that one?

[alt_pansy]

Um. Dicing charms make blue sparks and chopping ones are red. Is that what you put?

And you're way off on the other, I'm afraid. It's Solumnuntius. At least that's what I think she wanted.

[alt_padma]

Solumnuntius is for messages. I think she wanted Effercio. Only now I'm not sure.

[alt_ron]

Oh, good! I got the blue sparks, then. But I think I said vermillion not red for the other. Or is that pruning charms?

Are you sure about Solumnwatsit?
