Gung Hay Fat Choy everyone!

Have I ever mentioned how much I love Hong Kong during the Chinese New Year celebrations? If I haven't it's because I've been too busy enjoying myself. The city is so great this time of year, not to mention busy! I think I've spent so much money buying flowers and gifts for my family, of course I got a lot of great stuff in return. Did I mention the food yet? I'm stuffed, I don't think I could eat another thing. The younger cousins and I all went out to bars and clubs which were jam packed with people! Don't worry Daphne, I saved you some sticky rice buns since I know how much you love them! I already sent them with a family owl so hopefully they should already be there!

The fireworks back home are super, but the Chinese really know how to make some great ones. The display this year was amazing! I loved it so much, the colours were brilliant and they had so many different ones. There were some amazing dragons of course, which since it's the year of the Dragon they were extra fantabulous! There were some really pretty flower ones, I mean they were so beautiful. My cousin took loads of photos of them, but he's pretty selfish when it comes to handing them out. I don't know, he wants to be a photographer, though why I don't know.

I've also been to temple, which you can't miss temple or you'll have bad luck and a fussing from Grandma. Though I don't mind going, it's really invigorating with all the people and smells, the atmosphere is amazing, you can really feel the spirits. But enough about temple, I love the muggle lights! I also went to the muggle parade which was pretty fun, Vic took me. We also watched the floats and looked at the lights on the buidlings.

Of course it's the year of the Dragon now, but I still won't be leaving Hong Kong until after the 20th. I am so not missing the Latern festival! Anyways if anyone wants me to pick them up something just tell me!

Let me tell you, working the front desk at St. Mungo's is so stressful! We have the weirdest patients! There's this one Chinese guy who comes in everyday claiming that the British air is making him sick. He is just one of the many banes of my existence at work. Certain so called best friends think it is funny to come in with fake injuries, everyone knows puppies are sweet creatures who would never bite their owner! I really don't appreciate complaints being made to my boss, he is a very busy man who does not need to deal with these stupid lies!

Though I suppose one good thing of working at St. Mungo's is the gossip, you'd be surprised how many people talk freely thinking that no one ever overhears them in a crowded room. I figured since I was so busy and unavailable to be my usual cheery self that I'd treat you all to some delicious gossip!

Which recently widowed affluent older man was recently spotted around town with a new young woman? Could this be a case of yet another illegitimate daughter or simply a case of sinking his hand into the younger cookie jar? Who knew blondes were so popular this season?

What precious playboy was seen out in the open in Diagon Alley stroking a said thing he promised us all he'd hate for eternity?

It's been brought to my attention in a fairly obvious manner, that though Gryffindor's may be the fighters of justice they sure do seem to have a strong taste for promiscuous women. One such devotee of the late scarred hero seems to like his in threes. Running the gambit from dark to light all the ladies seem to have a fairly interesting attraction to one said new father. As a matter of fact one has even gone so far as to be seen flirting with one of his former house mates.

What former sausage handler has been seen trying to charm their way into a few apt and willing Aurors?

What Mediterranean descended dark haired beauty was seen unwilling to disclose information about her unplanned and unwed teen pregnancy, push along by her fellow blonde waitressing flat mate. Who would ever guessed such a good girl would turn out this way? I know I had my bets on her rather flirtatious friend.

What over six foot tall statuesque Englishman was seen nose to glass looking at a ladies best friend? You all know what best friend I'm talking about ladies, the one that goes on your finger.

Great news!!! I'm back in the country for good! Everything is just perfect now! Oh my gosh, so Monday I had an interview and I officially have a job! I was scared I wasn't going to get it and I'd have to end up working in a shop some place lifting boxes and stocking shelves. That would be so horrible and boring, I could never imagined myself doing something like that. Which I never have to since I am officially the new Welcome Witch at St. Mungo's! It's going to be great!

I am so excited to start work, I happen to officially start next week so it'd be great if someone could injure themselves that day! Though not you Page, wouldn't want to lose another body part! It's going to be so interesting working there, all the people watching I'll get to do! The best part about working in London is that I was able to convince my dad that I need my own flat. I now have a cozy, yet wonderfully elegant home in Chelsea. I can't wait to start hosting parties there, but only small ones since I don't want anything damaged. I'm thinking nice little dinner parties with close friends and their significant others.

Did I mention the best part of being back in the country? VIC! That's right, Vic is now my boyfriend and he's going to move to London for the time being. Of course we can't share my house since my daddy pays for it, plus I think Edison would be too jealous. He doesn't know we're dating yet, we decided we should keep it secret so no one gets any ideas of marriage. I'm way too young to marry! I mean some people aren't if they wanted to and if they had a child it would perfectly acceptable and I would plan their wedding for them! Anyone else is too young, we just got of school and we should experience freedom on our before settling down.

THIS IS UNFAIR! THEY CAN'T JUST SHIP ME OFF TO KEEP ME SAFE! UNFAIR!

I'm writing this to you from guess where, go ahead guess! HONG FUCKING KONG! I'm stuck at my grandmother's, I'm being forced to endure her company! Soon she'll start asking me if I'm a virgin, why I have no boyfriend, and then I'll be told how I need to find myself a nice Chinese boy. By next week I'll probably be having teas and lunches with the most eligible Chinese purebloods. SAVE ME!

I haven't even seen Vic yet! Does he know I'm here!? I'd ask Edison to owl him, but he wouldn't do it! I bet he's enjoying knowing how much I'm suffering! Then Ken can't help cause he's too distracted by his girlfriend, his Irish muggle girlfriend named Reina. Hmm, I can't help but to think I've heard that name somewhere. Oh well, doesn't matter now that I'm stuck in China.

So while the rest of you get to go off having fun in England I'm stuck here, with my Grandmother, in China. I hate it.

Hexed against Max!
In response to Jason's journal:

It was not comfortable being on top of his hard back for eight hours! I would have preferred a comfy bed, but instead I got stuck with his back. Now I'm going to have to hear him whine and moan for week about how I nearly broke his back. If it's not that it's going to be about how my "bony skinny little body" poked into his causing bruises. So please, just ignore his complaining! If you keep acknowledging him it only makes it worse!

Daphne are you alright? I know you're like so close to popping my Godchild out, but I have to make sure you didn't go into labour during those eight hours! ARE YOU IN YOUR ROOM? IF SO LET ME IN! Oh and Michael, isn't this so exciting, we're almost Godparents!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DAPPPPHHNEEEEE!

COME TO THE INFIRMARY NOW!


My nails, are gone, all of them, well some are kind of. UGH! I do not want to talk about it! THEY'RE GONE, RIPPED OUT BY A MONSTER! I had to wake up covered in wet icky blood! I NEVER WANT TO SMELL BLOOD AGAIN! IT SMELLS LIKE MY DOORKNOB! IT'S WORSE THAN THIS OVERLY CLEAN INFIRMARY SMELL! I NEED TO STOP SMELLING!

Remember how pretty my nails were yesterday? They were so pretty, so clean, the perfect shape, it takes ages to round them off just right. ALL THAT HARD WORK RIPPED OUT! Pomfrey says I have to stay here for a couple of days while we wait for my nails to grow back, I think I have to stay longer, I think she is only saying that to keep calm so I won't cry again! She mumbled something about crying students! DO YOU THINK SHE IS ON THIS!?! DO YOU THINK THEY'RE TRYING TO KILL ME AGAIN?!

On a side not waddle yourself up her as fast as possible Greengrass, I don't care if Zane has to break his back to get you up here. If I have to hear he screech in my ear one more time that I am writing something wrong, I'll find a way for her never to wear nail polish again.

Oh and this was Jason Samuels from the Infirmary with a lovely report from Ross Moon.

Hey Blaise! I noticed you didn't respond to the note I slipped under your door so I'm trying here! We should go search for Junior together! You know, to make sure he's not a she who is pregnant! Leave me a message here alright!

( DAPHNE!!!!!!!!! )

Well I'd like to be able to fuss about my team's performance, but we did catch the Snitch. The conditions could have been better, but you know what I don't really care! It was my birthday and I informed you all that you had to win the game as my present! Well Jason still has to get me a present and Yuki's present could be keeping his eyes off his girlfriend during matches. It's no wonder she practically slipped off her broom, you have the eyes of a stalker it probably disturbed her. Did I mention yet how the only good person the team this match was a Weasley? Yes! A Weasley did better than any other person! So congratulations Fred for an excellent game.

I'm sad since none of my friends thought to throw me a party, Daphne and I had our own little private celebration. It was sweet and private, with just two people, because no one else cares. Oh well, that doesn't matter I have Daphne! If anyone needs me I'll just be in my room, alone, with my cat. Wow this has been the best birthday ever, thanks friends! I'll remember from now on that I can only count on Daphne and no one else...

Just a little public service announcement!

ATTENTION!
I'll be turning 18 next Monday! I expect my friends to make sure they've picked out fabulous birthday presents for me! There are lists in my room of what I want if you're uncertain of what to get me!

( Private from Daphne )

You can't believe my surprise when I woke up this morning and potted a little note slid under my door. At first I thought it might be a love letter from a bloke smitten with me, but no it wasn't, it was an even better note! I am officially captain of the Orange Occamies! I know, I know, you're surprised they decided to choose an adorable female like me, but they did! Of course I was disappointed it wasn't a love letter from Lucian, hell or even one that was meant to go to Michael! But then again with how queer Michael is right now I doubt he's getting any. Don't worry team I'll be the best captain you could want! After all I was on the winning quidditch team this year! Also as Yukihito Summerby so excitedly reminded me, he was on the winning team for his last year here. I just know we'll do great! I expect to see plenty of smiling faces from my wonderful team!

So I decided the wig was so last month, it's now off. In this heat and humidity I was constantly sweating under it, there's no reason to put myself through that much torture just to look that good! Instead I remembered what Michael said before he offered to pick fresh flowers for my room about it just not being appealing. Plus I'd have to apply a sticking charm to it before every practice and that is just too much work! As captain I have to put my serious foot forward, which reminds me, practice is starting tomorrow morning at five am! Be there on time or you'll run five laps around the pitch! Our first game is in five days an I expect everyone to be ready to play!

One more thing! Daphne I need to know if you prefer cup cakes over a cake!

So since everyone is charming or dying their hair I thought, why shouldn't I get in on the fun. Except I'm not stupid enough to risk damaging my hair so I found the cutest bobbed wig and charmed it a wonderful green. It's very summery and tropical, I practically blend into foliage now! Well maybe I'm a little brighter then the foliage but I still look great against the leaves.

Wait, I left out how I found the wig didn't I? Well when we were assigned odd jobs around the castle I was cleaning out/organising/cataloging some dusty old store room, it was the dustiest place I had ever laid eyes on. I think I almost died from my eyes watering and the sneezing, I should have never been assigned that room. But if I hadn't, I would have never found the wig. Laying in a chest covered by old chairs and desks it had obviously been stashed their years ago. Seeing that chest made me wonder, what was in it? What is it a treasure chest? At thought I knew I couldn't resist opening it. Once I did I discovered it was a treasure trove of beauty products, it had plenty of bottles of Sleekeazy's Hair Potion, some old beauty charm books, wigs obviously, some clothes that look to be from sixties, very... what's the word? Oh modish, yes very mod.

Anyways, I decided to keep it for myself since the school obviously didn't need all that to survive. Besides everyoen else was nicking things, there was no foul down in nicking beauty products. So now I finally have room to put all the products out in my room, which I must say is going to be lovely once I figure out what to do with the walls. I already had Yukari gift me the most adorable comforter, it's lacey with plenty of ribbons. I think I'll do a lilac, or maybe a silver lilac. Yes a silver lilac would look wonderful in the room!

I think we've all gotten out our feelings about Potter, so if I see one more thing about him I'm going to scream. It seems only a few people realise that we haven't even been told if our families are still living. Or maybe the rest of you care more about Potter than your own flesh and blood?

GREAT NOW THE THIEF HAS STOLEN AN ANTIQUE! MY ANTIQUE! MY HERITAGE! MY HEIRLOOM!

You know first they took my mini-dresses, then my jewelry, then my owls. BUT THIS, this is low, lower than I thought anyone in this school could get. I so should have listened to my Dad when he told me I would lose it, but no I had to be stubborn and not listen. NOW MY JADE PENDANT HAD BEEN STOLEN! Aren't we all so fucking tired of these thefts by now? Why has McGonagall not done something to stop it? Why haven't the heads of our houses talked to us? Have they given up on everything completely?!

How am I supposed to be happy? I'm sorry Yukari, I don't know if I can make it to your party. This is really, really, really, really, really, really upsetting. Daphne can I come see you right now?

( Super Hexed Private. )

Hey Michael, I made like two dozen too many biscuits in class today and I thought you might want all of them... They're super good! I'm great at baking! My food has never exploded on me! I promise I don't add meat to them either!

DAPHNE! WE HAVE A MAJOR PROBLEM!

This is horrible, who would do this? Why would anyone even be interested in some old owls that I saved? HMM? WHO? I'm giving you the chance to come clean, if you do it now I won't be too upset. I mean also come on, what thief steals my mini dresses? Unless they are as tiny as I am they won't fit, AND THEY WON'T LOOK CUTE ON THE PERSON. OH and don't think I forgot about my jewelery! I know you stole my R earring, my most adorable ladybug ring, and my super special friendship anklet! Daphne gave that to me! IT HOLDS MEMORIES JUST LIKE THOSE OWLS! SO I WILL ASK YOU NICELY, please give me back my fucking stuff before Max finds out! If anyone can find the stuff she can, she's specially talented for these things.

Also as a side note, Madame Pomfrey is a miracle healer. After that little tussle in the halls with Romilda I went straight to her and I looked like myself in a few hours. If only some people had been that smart to go originally we wouldn't have had to see them walk around like a little victim.

Daphne! We need to have a word! You promised that The Real History of Magic would be both fun and interesting. What you forgot to mention is that it's neither! Who cares about bloody goblin wars and famines? I don't! The only saving grace that class is that Shacklebolt isn't teaching it. I believe we've already covered the fact that he is not qualified to teach! He was in on the conspiracy to kill me! I almost drown in the frozen lake and then he has the nerve to say I should have been more careful. PERHAPS HE SHOULD BE MORE CAREFUL! Plus, he's a total virgin, he knows nothing about sex!

But I guess the class is good for people watching, no one even notices if you don't do you work, they're all too enraptured in the class. I can totally catch up on my reading now! I totally need to finish "Blow me Down", it's so good! Who knew pirates were so sexy? I didn't! I have to give Madame Pince credit, she has an eye for those books!

Can someone explain to me why the third years are so damn horny this year? All I ever see them doing is snogging each other, staring at others body parts, or making obscene gestures and or comments to others. Wait, I forgot the part about where they try to pinch and slap your bottom! I swear they're worse than Millicent was around the mistletoe. I'm sure we all remember the horror stories of those unfortunate few who were trapped under it with her, let's hope the mental images we received from that have dissippated into the far reaches of our minds. I remember one vivid image still, I was walking to the library and happened to come across Duncan Inglebee cornered like a rabbit. His eyes reflected the fear that all of us felt, the fear that we soon would be trapped and snogged by her. Then at that moment she went in for the kill and it was a horrible sight.

Enough of that now! So I am curious as to what everyone is bring to Older Creevey's and Max's portrait day. I have no idea what I'm bringing, not my boyfriend since Daphne says he's not an object and there does not count. Maybe Vic, but she's been a little too clingy lately. When I say clingy I mean that she sticks her claws in my chest whenever I try to put her down. It hurts like hell when it happens then afterward it's all itchy and red, all over chest there are little red dots from her claws. If only there was way she didn't have claws, then she couldn't climb up curtains and dive bomb onto unsuspecting passersby. Then there's the way she jumps on Pan whenever he's trying to sleep... but maybe that means she loves him? That would be so awesome. WE COULD HAVE A CAT WEDDING!

What do you think Daphne? Are they soul mates?

I'm bored! I mean there is nothing to do! Nothing to read! No one to go see since my boyfriend is not talking to me, THANKS TIMMY! Oh my god Max, you come up with the best nicknames! I have never seen anyone with that much talent and skill!

Anyways I was thinking and I thought that it would be fun to see who could hold their breath the longest! It sounds lame but it's fun! Just don't pass out like the third years did when we played earlier, needless to say I won. Then we played who can count the highest and again I won because well third years just aren't as smart as they used to be. Today was so boring, so boring, so boring!

I was reading an old Witch Weekly and a girl wrote in to say the best line ever! Don't you dare touch me, touch me there if you want to get somewhere.

YOU GUYS! MAX HAS COME UP WITH THE BEST NICKNAMES! PEGGY FOR PEREGRIN AND BUTTERCUP FOR JASON!

Um, Happy Valentines Day everyone! I just have to say, I don't think Kingsley knew what he was talking about! I think he needs to go shag someone because he obviously knows nothing! Unfortunately we had a blusher in our group, his name is Grant Page. I've never seen a boy blush like that, yes I have, I'm dating a blusher, obviously his sex life is lacking. I myself have learned more from Edison and Daphne than this class we were stuck in. Though at least Dennis was there, he kept Kingsley on his toes with the questions he asked.

Remember everyone, Kingsley did try to kill me by hiding the fact that the ice was thinning! He gives horrible answers to questions, like really his answer to mine sucked balls! Max had good questions though, like what would happen if the penis was stuck. He didn't have a good answer, he tried to tell us it could never happen but we all know he is a liar. HE IS A LIAR! HE TRIED TO KILL ME! I KNOW YOUR PLAN MR. SHACKLEBOT! Needless to say he gave us no good advice.

Pansy! Once you are nice to me you'll get your awesome fantabulous gift!

Daphne.
Daphne, I did something bad. Well not like horrible bad, I didn't kill anyone but I did something I promised myself I wouldn't. See Lucian told me he loved me tonight and while I would have done anything to hear that two month ago, it means nothing now. I didn't have anything to say, I couldn't lie and say I love you back so I snogged him. I snogged him after I told him thanks that is was really sweet and that I liked him too. I'm rambling aren't I? I can't help it, I mean I'm attracted to him but I don't care for him like I used to. Am I only hurting him by staying with him? Am I going to hurt myself?

That's not saying I don't enjoy kissing him, I do. But it's like how you enjoyed kissing Pucey but you didn't love for him?
Daphne.

Peregrin.
Peregrin, I need to talk to you about Lucian. I think I did something bad.
Peregrin.

TEN STEPS OF PANSY'S REHAB FOR HER EATING DISORDER!

First step! Isolate her from Draco and her assistants! Draco is almost as skinny as she is so he obviously promotes her eating disorder. Then her assistants have nice curvy shapes which are sure to make her feel self-conscious.

I'll fill in the rest once I discuss the plans with Daphne! If anyone is willing to help we'd appreciate it, we are just so worried about our dear friend Pansy. Also for those worried about me, there is no need to worry any longer. I am as a fit as a newborn kitten! Wait that doesn't make sense, I must have thought that since Vic is beside me. Let's try this again! I'm as a fit a whistle! No, no....

How does it go again Daphne?
