The Lily of the valley

Hexed Private to Hogwarts Female Students
I have no idea what to wear to the party. I don't want to wear anything trashy... but, this just isn't my department. Can someone please help me?

Sirius
Thank you so much for the talk. Did you talk to him yet?
I do hope you are going with Alecto to the party. I'd love to get to really meet her. I don't even know what to wear... and I don't want to see him...

Severus
Are you going to the party?

When you find out one of your supposed "friends" have been talking about you behind your back, it really makes you put a lot of things into perspective. This really is the time when you find out who your true friends are, I suppose. Whatever the case is, I'm glad I found out now before I did or said anything stupid.

Anyway, I've got rounds again tonight, but would anyone fancy joining me for a walk? I was going to go out alone, but company is always welcome. Either way, I'm heading out in a little while. Around seven.

This cold has caused me to fall a bit behind in potions. If anyone could help me, that would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Also, I'd like to remind everyone (specifically the first years) that hexing is NOT a game. Someone could get seriously hurt. If I find any more students after hours belching up slugs or anything of the kind, I'm going to have to bring you to your head of houses. I do hope it doesn't come to that.

I wish I could tell Severus what was going on without worrying that he'd hex me from here to oblivion. He gave me yet another short lecture about being friends with people who torture him. Just what I needed - a guilt trip.
I do think I've gotten much better, though. I mean, I haven't seen James lately (or Remus for that matter.) My emotions aren't all out of sync and I'm starting to think I didn't like him at all, that I was just being all weird because I was sick.

Being the second half of the year, I'm starting my tutoring again like I did last year. Exams will come up quickly, so if you have any questions or requests, feel free to ask. I'd be more than happy to help in any subject.

Today has to be one of the oddest days in humanity. It started out so perfect and then just spiraled? I went to Madame Pomfrey and explained a bit to her. She thinks I'm probably just coming down with something. I think I agree. Petunia probably got me sick somehow. Probably on purpose.

Remus
I miss talking to you. How are things? Rounds are so utterly strange without you. Are James and Charity dating?
Today I was sitting with James and Charity during lunch (James showed up after I sat down.) I didn't know they were such good friends. Are they, by chance, dating? I mean, I don't care if they are.. I'm just curious. I just didn't know he was interested in anyone besides me.
He said the oddest thing, too. And I think he may have been sincere. He told me he wanted me to be happy... and that he was alright with us dating (you and I.) That he supported it and you're a good guy. I'm really confused...

Charity/James
Did either of you pick up my book today? I left it on the table when I left to go to Madame Pomfrey. Also, sorry for just leaving like that. Been a weird day and I ended it in Madame Pomfrey's office. I hope the rest of your evenings went well.

Private
I don't know what is going on. All of the sudden it's James, not Potter. I'm being nice...
He says he's over Remus and my freak kiss, so I can't blame this on guilt, right?
I just want someone to clear this up for me...
Why didn't he tell me last night he was going with Charity? I would have been fine with it. right?
I just need to forget this.

I hope everyone's holidays went well, whichever ones you celebrate.

Mine went fairly well, at least when Petunia wasn't around. I did get a lovely cold as a gift to come back to school with. Sniffles and all.

I have rounds by myself again tonight. It's so strange without Remus.

I will be in my dorm for a few days, besides when I'm doing rounds and attending my classes.
As for holiday... I think I may be staying here. Actually, I'm fairly sure of it. Is anyone else staying here?

If you could go back in time and fix your mistakes, the big ones, would you? The reality is, everything happens for some reason. What about destiny and fate? Mistakes happen, even to the best people. Even the smartest of students will have a bad test day. Sometimes people hurt other people unintentionally and regret it. While fixing your mistakes sounds great to begin with, could it hurt you later on? What about forgiveness for your mistakes, especially if the mistake wasn't meant to happen? What are your thoughts on all of this?

Private
Remus kept asking me why I care about how James is feeling. I keep having different answers each time I think about it. I don't like to see people hurt, and frankly, I've never seen James hurt. Even in the thousands of times I've told him off, he just walks away with a smug grin on his face. But now, I have unintentionally hurt him. I mean.. that's a good enough reason.

Having his best friend hurt him without meaning to shouldn't push himyou to go and try to shag another girl. It will only hurt him more. I mean, that's what I got out of his journal entry.. about firewhisky doing the same thing as a mistletoe. Nevermind.. it doesn't bother me. It shouldn't. It's not as though I want to be with James. It's his own life.

Same with Remus, let him to get out his animal aggression on someone else.
