What a brilliantly lovely day.

[Hexed to Definites]

I FORGOT TO INCLUDE THIS IN THE INVITATION. There will be a contest with fantastic prizes for the best dress. Beach party is the theme, don't you forget!

Also, if you have any questions direct them here. Sorry for burning your hands.

[See HERE for specifics]

It's a lovely day to plan a party. I hope all you gals are getting all prettified in two days, never know who's going to send you Valentine's!

[Hexed to Definites]
Feb 18th, night before the Slyherin/Hufflepuff game. For you Hufflepuff quidditch players I've got a hangover concoction in the works. Lily - I may need a touch of your potion magic.

Chasey boy, where was the room you were telling me about again?

[Hexed to Maybes]
Prove to me you are awesome and party-worthy.

[Hexed to Marauders]
Love potion is coming along nicely. I gave it to one of the cats in our house and it couldn't stay away from me, so I think that's a grand sign.

LIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIILLLLLLYYYYYYYYY, is there still a ban on non-Gryffindors being in the house? As in, do I need to sneak about, or can I flaunt my successes yet?

[Marauders]
Love potion. Valentine's. My face everywhere so the birds all fall in love with me. Whaddya say?

... Oh this is just fantastic.

In other news, I rock at the horse racing whatever game. Anyone want to challenge the ultimate master?

[Private to Marauders]
Partners with Regulus? Remember when I said we were 'on the mend'? Yeah... well, that fell apart. Like I'm sure you all expected. And now I have to compete with him? If that's not a losing pair made in hell I don't know what is. Let's drink, I need to drink.

Gooooooooooooo Gryffindor!

Pro James you gunna lead our house to victory or what? You'll hear me from the sidelines, promise. Unless McG throws me off the bleachers, which is highly likely.

I still don't feel normal and I certainly don't want to talk about it. I'm sorry Remus

Mrs. Hestia Sirius Orion Theodora Potter Jones Black, I expect you to be cheering for Gryffindor. I've got you something to wear, anyway. Best way to stick it that ex of yours

For everyone else, I've got something for you too. Gryffindor fans, that is.

Just want everyone to know I'm alive. But had the worst fucking night of my life

First day of classes, complete! I'll have you all know I went to all of them. Not that I enjoyed any, but I was there.

[Hexed to 'Definite' Black List members]
Well, now that school's back - I think we need a party. I wouldn't want to potentially ruin anyone's precious quidditch match, so perhaps the Saturday after? The 30th, or so.

This time I'm open to making it themed - I mean, just the decorations. I could use decorators, really. I can make the drinks - but decorations/food isn't really my thing. Well; food is, but only if you ladies are happy with finger foods that may or may not be messy.

NO FORMAL WEAR, I've had enough of all these formal balls. But, if you own golf pants (AND THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU WHO GOT ME SOME) wear them! I won't make it a golf themed party, since James would chop off my head. And if you want someone invited who isn't, you MUST clear it with me first. Some people are not going to be impressed with this party. The 7th & 6th year Gryffindor Prefects I can at least count on to want their students to have fun. I don't know about other prefects. Plus - if this gets found out by a teacher I'm pretty sure we're all going to get penalized for it. Obviously I'll be the one getting expelled, but yeah.

I get an overall impression people aren't particularly happy to be back at school. I daresay, if that's not a challenge - I don't know what is. Keep yourselves posted.

[Private to Marauders]
First off - where does Tanner Higgs get off? He sent me a package of golf shaped chocolates and golf stuff. Moony, can you check the chocolate for poison and all that? I don't want to give it to Slughorn or Flitwick, so I'm coming to you. I suppose you can enlist Evans as well.

Secondly - pranks. Did anyone come up with any? Everyone seemed to rather enjoy our purple hair prank, I think we should do something along those lines. Of course, I don't really have any calm ideas.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

There is only one thing that would make life at the Potters better. Okay, two things, but the second just isn't appropriate. That thing? Is golf. Pro James, reckon we could build a golf course in your backyard? I certainly think we could. Eli - what do you think?

I should have left the family YEARS ago

[Private to Andy]
Did you stay at the castle? If not, I'm sure the Potters would love to have you. James or Alice's families, even. Did you know I'm related to Alice? Like, closer than I'm related to Arthur or James? I guess that means you're related to her as well. [...] What was I - right, winter break. If you're not at Hogwarts, we should do something. Also, I think I screwed up the sort-of relationship I had with Regulus. Which is fine, it's not like we've spoken since I was 11.

[Private to Marauders]
We're planning something to be huge when we get back, right? Moony you do the planning, and I'll do the executing. Okay, great. Glad we had this conversation.

Also, you should all know that Prongs' backyard is like a dog's favourite dream. I could get lost and die happy out there.

[Private to Lily, viewable by James]
Right, so I meant to talk to you when we were still in school. Big surprise that I didn't, huh? Anyways, Otto Bagman was yabbering on about being questioned. I've really no idea what the hell he meant, but I thought you might want to know. Apparently someone questioned him about who was working against the purebloods and he told me our names, along with Mick Yagger? I feel like I should know that name. Reckon we should tell Old Dumbles?

Being outside is a beautiful change.

[Hexed to the Marauders]
When did Hestia Jones turn into Evans? It's stressful enough to be worried about what Lily's been off saying! How did I end up only friends with the only two birds at Hogwarts foolish enough to try and pick fights with them? I don't even get a snog out of all this.

[Hexed to Lily]
Who's my date, then?

I don't understand why girls freak out over their dresses so much. If you like it, then isn't it good enough? I'm pretty sure I know what I'm wearing to this little shin-dig.

I CANNOT WAIT FOR CHRISTMAS TO GO TO THE POTTERS, YOU LOT HAVE NO IDEA HOW AMAZING THEY ARE. And to be outside, and all that stuff.

[Hexed to Marauders]
I think we can create something sort of like snow, but more slippery to fill the stairs with. I don't have a sled, though. Prongs, Goldilocks is asking after you, what do you want to tell him? That you secretly love him but are too ashamed to admit it?

[Hexed to Regulus]
I'm sorry
I don't want you to have to
What do you want for Christmas?

I FOUND IT!!!!!

I finally found my stupid journal! It was shoved in between the wall and Remus's bed, and no I have NO IDEA how it got there. Moony Remy were you trying to read my diary?

I know it's like one in the morning, but I can't sleep. It looks frigid outside, I hate winter! Soon enough I'm going to have to wear hats, and mittens, and scarves which means everyone else is going to have to cover up as well! Summer is just much more appealing to the body temperature and eyes!

NOW, on to much more important matters. I have also lost my December Golf Magazine. I NEED IT BACK, IT'S BASICALLY MY WHOLE CHRISTMAS LIST!? How am I supposed to tell mum and dad (Mrs & Mr Potter) what I want for Christmas if I don't have that magazine?

I think we need a party. Like... now.

Aw, wish I'd known! The Black family Christmas tree would have been overflowing with presents from yours truly!

Would have been a nice little gem of knowledge.

Well, I think now is as good a time as ever. Black List party? I trust all of you won't broadcast this. Last time it was fine, but this time I reckon we'll be out past curfew. Spare me the lecture Evans, I think a party is needed. A party without complainers, narks, Slytherins bullies, or anything else unpleasant.

Does anyone have a preferred date, theme, party food, party drink, music? Or guest, I suppose?

[Hexed Private to Marauders]
What do you know of concealing charms? Like if we were to make the room private? Almost like having a secret-keeper? I don't know if that's too advanced, but I think we'd be able to do it. I mean, provided we can find information on it. We can change into animals, how hard can a concealing charm be?

As many of you may know, I usually stroll the halls for girls. Today I had a very interesting run in. I heard a strange noise and all of a sudden there was this mini-dino biting and attacking my ankles. It looked like a t-rex but was the size of those little mini guys that run around (Yes I've read a dinosaur picture book, okay).

So upon further inspection and a couple of swift kicks, I notice it was wearing pirate gear and must have thought I had was treasure. Luckily I can charm an amazing pirate eye-patch so I did. Then I spoke pirate and told him I was his captain, and I think I've got a nice pirate accent down.

Anyways, if any of you are missing a dinosaur, we're out hunting for treasure. He's actually brilliant, I've found lots of goodies.

- SOP

So I finally got a Howler back from my mum. It was actually quite a bit different than I expected.

Apparently Uncle Alphred Alphard likes me more than anyone knew. To be honest, I rarely spoke to him, save for the few family gatherings I've been allowed to attend the past six years. Anyways! My account at Gringotts is full of Uncle Alphard's gold now! Yeah, that's right, my Uncle felt bad for me, and gave me a ton of money. Mum's Howler consisted of yelling at me for the wrong doings of her brother - and we're both blasted off the tapestry.

Yeah, it's confirmed. I'm no longer a Black my by mother's standards. Of course, by my classmates best friends, and Uncle's point of view, I've never been Blacker.

Well that's just fuckin' great.

If anyone does early Christmas shopping, I'll take any of these. ( Sellotaped to his journal )

Found that in my golf magazine. Except the yellow, blue, and white diamonds, I have those.

- Sirius Potter Black SOB

Well, golf was a much needed distraction yesterday, thanks Eli! Let me know when you wanna go round two then.

Apparently there was no party. The common room was equally as boring when I returned. Mysterious, because it's usually busy! I reckon I have some sleuthing to do.

[Hexed to Ted's friends]
Lily, what are good muggle candies? Me & Remy are gunna send him a bunch, if anyone else wants to sign the package.

[Hexed to Marauders]
Right so, what happened last night? Where were you Prongs & Moony? Where was everyone, and why wasn't I invited?

I've got a date with Septima, what do you lot think?

WHERE IS EVERYONE!? IT'S EIGHT PM AND NO ONE IS AROUND.

James, Remus, Peter, Marlene, Lily, Molly, Arthur, Frank, Alice, Emmeline...

Are you guys planning a surprise party for me? Evans is this the party you let slip to me? I knew you had to terrible at hiding surprises! Oi, all of Gryffindor is missing! I wish I had taken that after-dinner nap I was craving instead of the walk around school. I'm booooooooooooooooored. Someone come play with me!
