Holy crap, I met an angel. A real, Honest-to-God(literally!) angel!

He had a lot of good advice, and I know a lot more about being a Knight than I did before.

And it wasn't my fault.


Mom... don't worry about me.

I.... I'm not sure what happened. One minute, she's there, the next.... gone, covered by a sheet.


Why? Why am I alone now?

Ok, here's my wizard cards. As you can see, I have.... a crapload of duplicates.




( Wizard cards! )

To translate, I have duplicates of all cards EXCEPT 3, 16, 22, 26, 69, 70, 75, 85, 92, 98, 105, 107, 200, 203, 211, 301, 303, 400, 401, 403, 500, 501, 601, 603, 605, 701

And, the ones I NEED are 71, 100, and 206.


That is just three cards. If you got 'em, PLEASE offer me a trade. XD I'll give you any of my duplicates! Multiple duplicates for one card, even. I really wanna finish my collection.

What is your spirit animal?

Wolf Spirit Your spirit animal is the wolf. Loyal, protective, quick-witted and polite. The spirit of the wolf is a powerful one, but maybe not so much on a physical level. The soul of the wolf goes beneath the skin, straight to the heart. A wolf spirit need only keep those he loves close, and keep those he fears closer.

Hahaha.... I didn't even try to tailor the responses, either! Awesomeness. :D

Just because I was bored today and read a webcomic, I was inspired to make one icon.

For Nossie.

I can't wait to get to the point where people stop being able to handle me so easily. What's the point where I stop sucking? Do I have to wait until I'm 17? Until I graduate? Ten years from now? Can't I grow up already? I want to be someone people would look up to one day, like Vincent. But how can I get to that point if I can be taken out so easily? No matter how hard I try, it's never enough!

Date with Amber: Successful.

Notes:
She likes ice cream, unicorns, kneazles, mystery books, carving, books on carving, and thinks dragons are cool. Which, of course, they are.
She wants a graphorn coat too.
She also thinks Professor Soong is nuts, with his games and stuff.
She likes me the way I am.
She wants us both to stay over at Vincent's a few times over the summer. Vincent's house is going to turn into a hotel at this rate.
I promised her we'd go for ice cream when we're let out for the summer. I plan on keeping this promise.

I guess I'll jump on the bandwagon since I've been asking everyone else!

Give me a relationship between our characters and I'll give you an in-depth explanation on it.

Is my soul really that weak? I even lost to Lilja, of all people.

I bloody suck at this. Maybe I should just quit while I'm behind, if I even CAN.

Huh. I wonder if a girl holding your hand and squeezing it means something? I'll have to ask Vincent.


Oh, and I broke rules, snuck into the library, met Alnon, and passed the test. Vincent was really mad, but I bet he would've done the same if he was my age!

My mom and grandparents were a lot more punitive though.


But I still passed! Water wolf on my temple, meaning intelligence, magical acumen, intuition, and creativity. And I took down a group of dark wizards with two spells, though would've finished them off with four if I was able to finish that fight.

Did I mention that I've gotten pulled into this spirit world where I'm an adult? Yeah, it happened again, only this time we got to fight! Vincent was the first one, fighting Mr Hollingberry. He won, of course, though Mr Hollingberry did put up a good fight.

I was next up! I fought that lady, Jamie something. I never got her last name, but Vincent seemed to know her, so I guess she's someone interesting. Definitely a 'good guy'. But it doesn't really matter, because I beat her! I actually won! I'll be going to the next round, if there is a next round. The old guy said they needed six, and more than that showed up. Interesting. I hope I win again.



Speaking of fighting, I and a bunch of other students started exploring Hogwarts for the Nameless Lady, and found this room made of crystal with a whole bunch of those spiders, th'erian, scuttling about making it all pretty. There was this giant centipede stuck in one of the walls, looked like it was made of bronze. Then it came alive and broke out, and it ended up being immune to almost all the spells we could throw at it. Gerry made ice on the floor, and I hit it with the lightning spell but it bounced off, but the Gerry melted the ice and zapped it, and I zapped it too, and together it worked. Good thing, because it was about to attack me. Some other students used the shattered crystals in the room to force apart its exoskeleton, which made it mad, but also vulnerable. Then it attacked Zeke and Gerry, and I zapped it again, and killed it! Of course, it was thanks to all of us working together, but it was me who did the final blow. I know it's not right to brag, but it was totally awesome!

There's this thing going around school that's draining students of their energy. I keep on seeing lots of people I know get really tired, forget their spells, and falling asleep in broad daylight, Amber among them. Someone or something is stealing their energy. And it happened to me, a few times. At one time, I fell asleep right in the middle of the Quidditch pitch. Andrew looked terrified for some reason, I didn't know he worried about me that much. It was... kinda touching, but...

Also, Vincent told me to keep an eye on Zeke and Gerry, easy enough for me to do. He said they're tied to the fate of the world or something like that, not sure why or how. I guess I'll just have to be in the common room every time they open their doors, being prefects and all.

Speaking of those two, did I mention I made the Quidditch team? As a starter, no less! Keeper. I have a lot to work on, though. Andrew asked me to teach him Quidditch, I guess our discussion of Vincent telling me how Quidditch helped him in catching dark wizards made Andrew think. And Vincent IS giving us extra lessons! Excellent! We actually managed to knock him unconscious. I wasn't much help with that, but I like to think I distracted him enough for Gerry's stupefy to make its way in.

I hope whatever is stealing our energy will leave me alone now. I can't afford to forget any spells now that Vincent's trying to teach us ones we don't learn at Hogwarts!

Quidditch camp was a disaster except for the fact that I was able to knock Geoff off his broom. I couldn't do anything. That was about all that happened over the summer.

School started up again, FINALLY. My mom had taken away my wand during the summer, said she didn't want me destroying anything. But now I have it back! Still not learning any awesome spells though, but it'll come soon enough.

Oh! Apparently the captains decided that I didn't completely suck at Quidditch, because I made the team! A starter, no less! Keeper, but that's ok. I guess no one else really wanted the position, which is fine by me, and Zeke said something about training a young team so we'd be awesome later on. I've been practicing constantly, because I owled Vincent telling him about it and he told me that Quidditch helped him with his job, that he's done lots of aerial battles with dark wizards and Death Eaters, so I'm going to keep at it! Before, I wanted to prove myself at Quidditch, but now I have a better reason.

Oddly enough, Andrew quit being such a prat. At least to me, I know he's still a little beast towards other people sometimes. We started talking, trying to figure out a way to get Vincent to give us extra dueling lessons. We decided that we'd still act like cats and dogs in his presence, then somehow get him to promise us lessons for good behavior. He won't know what hit him. Or maybe we should just be good to begin with? That works too. I'm not good at being a jerk, myself. I find it annoying to get yelled at all the time.

Well anyway, back to researching anything that would help me be a great Auror when I graduate. Maybe I should take three electives? Healing Arts, Ancient Runes, and Care of Magical Creatures. With Potions, Transfiguration, Charms, and of course, Defense Against the Dark Arts, that's just 7 NEWTs. Not too much, right?

OOC: Oh by the way, I'm calling dibs on Jesse Metcalfe for Joseph in the future. Hahahahaha. Spiritus, here I come.

I'm somewhat stunned. Andrew decided to behave around me, which in itself is suspicious. Or maybe he finally started listening to me, rather than hearing me talk?

Maybe it's the fact that I offered to help him make friends. I think he really is just lonely.

Are we friends? Is that it?

Well at the very least, we get along now. Can't say the same for him and anyone else though...he got Amber so mad she punched him right in the jaw.

Oh...and Andrew and I decided that certain seventh years are going down. We're researching spells they don't teach in the classroom due to time constraints or whatever, and we're going to quietly wage war on them. I'm sure if Vincent heard who we're plotting against he'd help us. I'll send an owl.

I've been talking with Professor Drake in the meantime. He's really smart, which is to be expected for an Unspeakable and the one who kept our family safe from things attacking us in our dreams. A lot of kids act like idiots around him though. I hope he doesn't think I'm one of them. He knows a lot, I think I'll talk to him some more.

I'm trying not to mention anything about this fog, but...it scares me. It's not something I could fight against, so it's not like a person. People can be taken out. This fog...it won't be that easy. And people die when it touches them.

Mom said in an owled letter that the family's all right, that they're all at Drake Castle. Don't know if the fog will leave before the winter holidays, but I won't get my hopes up.

I swear, someone must've switched Andrew with a changeling when he was born, there's no way that idiot could be related to me.

There we were, actually holding a conversation with Logan Drake, our professor, the one who protected our family, and then that idiot starts lipping off to him. Well, him and this other Gryffindor boy named Zeke who's vice-captain of the Quidditch team. that one was thrown out the window during our orientation class for DADA for being a smartaleck. Apparently he didn't learn.

I think I found the reason why cousin Vincent scowls all the time. Must be from dealing with idiots like that all the time.

I think I created a monster

Scratch that, I think I woke a monster up. I hope Vincent doesn't kill any students. Kyle's nuts, but that's no reason to hunt him down.

I personally thought it was a compliment to Adelaide that young people find her attractive. I suppose Vincent is a little jealous and protective of her, but then again, he is married to her. Adelaide is old enough to be Kyle's mom, but...she is pretty nice looking. Like an attractive mom. She is a good mom though, and that counts more than looks anyway. I don't see why a seventeen year old would consider asking her out though. I hope I'm not that idiotic when I'm that age.

I also sorta was able to join the Gryffindor Quidditch team. I'm Equipment Manager, and my alternate title is Champion of the World, hahaha.
