I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good
This is the longest day ever. Runes went on forever, and now it's Double Potions. Oi! I'm dying over here.
If my head falls into my cauldron, duck!
Only I was up almost all night because of Gareth Archer. Heard him shouting in the middle of the night. Ours is the closest room to theirs, so I was the one who got there first. Well, except for his mates, but they're a useless lot. Ed Bones and Jimmy Peakes were both sitting up, staring at him, but they seemed like they were still sound asleep, really. I swear Peakes was snoring. And soon as I got there, they both flopped over and were out again.
But Archer wasn't going back to sleep. No way. He didn't want to go see Madam Pomfrey, and I don't blame him, so we went downstairs and played chess. All the way til breakfast.
I didn't mind. I mean, McLaggen came in right after I did, but he's got OWLs this week and looked a wreck. And really, even on a good day, no one wants to spend time with McLaggen. And Archer was a bit of a mess, too.
Said he'd had a dream about his father coming back--you know about his dad, right?
Anywiz, last night he had this dream his father came back and was going to kill him. He figures it's because he read what those Dogstar people wrote in the journals yesterday. Thing is, I guess Archer really hated his dad. For leaving him and his mum and for being a traitor. Did you know MLE questioned him and his cousin--watshername, the Slytherin one--only Archer couldn't tell them anything because he hadn't talked to his father in years. Well, I guess he did tell them something--last night he told me he told MLE he was glad his father was dead.
I mean, yeah. That's dead awful, innit?

no subject
If he thinks his father's angry because he told MLE that he hated him, tell him his father would have been cheering him on. His father was a SLYTHERIN. He'd have been saying 'right on, son, defame my name and spit on my grave, whatever it takes.' I mean, unless his father was just a miserable git, which he might have been. Does Gareth think he was in DogStar?
