Back to School, Ring the Bell [25 Dec 2005|07:28pm] I know what I said before... but I'm really not ready for school to start back up again. Ill get to see some friends I haven't seen before, but I mean, I wont' see my family or other people until at least Christmas, and that's no good. I'll worry about them too much . Wouldn't it be nice just to have a little bit more summer? Looking forward, of course, to Tonks' teaching. At least that's one person I will be seeing I normally wouldn't have gotten to. Seeing Neville, Luna, Seamus and Colin will be nice, too. But still... I'm going to be looking forward to Christmas break. The last day of summer was quite nice. I went for coffee and lunch on my own for once - completely alone. Walked down to the bay. Stayed for about an hour. Just enjoying the solitude and the salty breeze, of course. That walk is not as long as I remember it being. But enough of me - how is everyone else feeling about going back to school? 12 commented.|Comment?

Time on my hands [08 Dec 2005|01:31am] I am firmly seconding my brother - I'm so excited that the wedding is almos here, because that means that planning it is almost over. And the wedding itself, too. The only sad part of this, of course, is that I feel like I'm losing a brother and gaining a sister who's French and completely mad about food and color harmonies. Now that Harry and my brothers are back, my mind is at much greater ease. Not knowing where your family and friends are can be quite taxing, as you can imagine. Life has settled, more or less, into its usual, manic pattern. Mortal peril all around. Cheers. And on a lighter - or darker, I suppose - note, if at all possible, spending most of the last few days simply outside doing nothing in the sunshine has turned me more freckly than before. Fleur may get upset with me, something about freckles and French wedding traditions that I'd have no way of knowing, and yet, have inadvertently ruined. Lovely. See you all around, I suppose? Wedding, perhaps? 12 commented.|Comment?

[28 Nov 2005|12:42am] With Harry and my older brothers gone, I would be lieing if I said I wasn't getting nervous for them. It's miserable being completely oblivious as to where they are, what they're doing and when they're coming back. And coupled with missing them... it's just too much, sometimes. But I know it's because we have a war on our hands, and I know everyone has to do their part, but I wish mine wasn't sitting at home and waiting for news like a farmer waits for rain in the summer. Every little bit satisfies you for a while, but then you just need more, and there's nothing you can do to speed it up. I wish I could be out there helping the cause, but I just get discounted as a child. I'm not of age, I know, but I still feel like I could do more helping out there than sitting around biding my time in here. If only I knew how to make that potion Harry gave us last year right before we fought the death eaters... "War is cruelty. There's no use trying to reform it, the crueler it is the sooner it will be over." -William Tecumseh Sherman Let's hope it's true. If it is, we're in for a very expeditious war. 29 commented.|Comment?

Counts the waves that somehow didn't hit her [06 Nov 2005|11:34pm] I'm beginning to miss everyone from school. And I really do mean just about everyone, even the people who usually irritate me. I guess I'm just school-sick. I suppose I'll see most of them at the wedding, right? In any case, I feel like a dork, but I'm looking forward to school. And getting out of this house and all its madness that a wedding entails. A notice to all Weasley boys: The next time you decide to get married, ELOPE. I'm also excited about Tonks teaching DADA. I mean, she's a great auror, and she's like a sister to me, so I really can't think of one thing that's not to love about her teaching classes. I'm sure she'll be excellent at it, of course. And I'm still nervous about the Death Eater attacks...I just don't know what to think. The things they do to muggles are horrible! And they half expect me to join them...I could never do those things to another human being. Thanks, but no thanks. --Ginny 26 commented.|Comment?

[31 Oct 2005|05:45pm] So, apparently, breaking out of Azkaban Prison isn't nearly as hard as one could have hoped for...at least not if Lucius Malfoy could do it, that git. I saw the article in the prophet about it, and I'm even more nervous than I was before. I've never really approved of using the Dementor's kiss on Azkaban prisoners, especially when there are cases like Sirius' where the person is actually innocent, but if they can escape left and right like this...what are our alternatives? I don't know. I'm just thinking out loud, I guess. Don't mind me. 12 commented.|Comment?

[11 Oct 2005|03:49pm] I'm getting fitted for my Bridesmaid's dress today. I think that it's blue which is a bit of a relief, but i think it's satin, which is a little bit scary. Maybe i should have more strictly adhered to the celery diet? I suppose that would have only served to EXTEND the misery. I wonder what she plans on doing with my hair for the wedding...I hope she knows that "curly" is a bad plan, as evidence by the collage on my background. Curly = bad. Please, please get that in your heads, people. I talked to Bill last night; it was an interesting conversation, to say the least. Deep talks at 10pm are weird. I suppose they're necessary sometimes, though. And talking to Bill is always good. I'll miss him when he's married. I don't know why I'm worried about it, I guess I just assume that once he has his own family, he won't have time for his OTHER family anymore. Stupid of me, I guess. I'm not going to lie to you, I'm a little nervous about being prefect. But I also think it will be a good experience, so I guess it averages out okay. Anyway, I'll see you all in due time. Before August 20th, anyway. Oh, and Harry's Birthday is coming up too, so all his secret admirers should start sending presents now to assure that they arrive on time. 22 commented.|Comment?

[10 Oct 2005|01:20am] You win, Malfoy. It's blue. I guess you have to be right sometimes... Harry's here! It's actually wonderful having everyone at the burrow, partially because if they're all here, I know they're all safe, and partially because I've missed everyone, especially Harry, who has been running around on some wild escapade lately. I wish I knew a bit more about it, but I don't. And it's his business. Anyway, I guess I'm getting used to the idea of being a prefect now. At first, I thought McGonagall was mad. But then I talked to my family and friends, who assured me that she had completely lost her mind. So now, I want to do an amazing job just to prove them wrong. A stupid reason, perhaps, but it works for me. Going back to Diagon Ally soon, didn't get a chance to do anything this time when that message came. It'll be fun all going together, even if Florean Fortescue's is gone. Being familiar places makes the world feel a little less like it's all changing completely, and there's nothing you can do about it. Diagon Ally is still familiar and safe. I'm exhausted, and I'll be going to bed. Later, --Ginny. 10 commented.|Comment?

[07 Oct 2005|07:05pm] McGonagall, apparently, has gone mad. Guess who the new Gryffindor Prefect is... Mum was dead chuffed about the whole thing, though when I thought about it, I was slightly reluctant to accept. I mean, I'm not entirely sure that I'm responsible enough to be in charge of a bunch of children, or patient enough. But I guess she had a reason to choose me, however misguided it seems right now. One thing's for sure - Weasley's Wizard Wheezes products will be a lot less strictly regulated. Harry may be coming down for his birthday, which would be a fun celebration as opposed to an obnoxious, horrifying one, like this wedding. He's also suggested that we flee to Grimmauld place to escape the terror that is Fleur, and I think it's an excellent idea. Ron, Hermione and I are fleeing to Diagon Alley for a few hours, though. See you around. --Ginny. 18 commented.|Comment?

[06 Oct 2005|11:32pm] I had planned on getting up at 7:00 this morning to borrow Fred's new broomstick and fly a few laps and get in a bit of practice. However, I slept through my alarm somehow and didn't get up until 11:00. Hermione had already been up for hours, and I was a little bit annoyed that she didn't wake me up sooner, but she probably thought I would have wanted to sleep in. Waking up late became a problem the moment I tried to get something to eat. Fleur was in the kitchen looking through a book of wedding cake designs with mum, I guess she's still finalyzing the designs, and I couldn't sneak around her to get a cupcake or something edible out of the pantry. Naturally, Fleur played the food nazi and had me eat some Oatmeal. It was really thick, and sort of disgusting. I only ate a few bites, and she got all flustered and let me have half of a grapefruit. She says she's found another dress she likes that she's going to have me try on later, but not till tomorrow or so. I'm grateful. I ripped a hole in the knee of my favorite blue jeans trying to get Pig to come out of a tree so I could send a letter. I was obviously pretty frustrated, and I never did get Pig out of the tree. I figure I'll just cut a little bit off the bottom of my old jeans that don't still fit, sew the patch on from the inside, and call it "good." I'm still pretty irked, but life goes on. Stupid tree. Harry's coming soon, he says. A few days if he gets back okay, which I would hope for anyway. He says his search hasn't turned up much yet, but I can't help but think he's getting closer. Hope, at least. I wish he would tell us more about what he's doing, but if he thinks it's important to keep it secret, I'll respect his decision. For now, anyway. Ron and Hermione are downstairs probably snogging, so I'll probably look for Pig again and see about that letter. See you around. -Ginny 6 commented.|Comment?

[04 Oct 2005|10:30pm] I've just sent a letter along with the food Ron and I sent to Harry. It was rather short, but it isn't as though every letter I write has to be some 200 page tome, or something. Normal letters are usually pretty short. Or so I tell myself. For those who don't know, I thought I'd announce that Hermione and Ron have finally wised up. Ron, for once in his life, has decided to listen to his sister. Good call on his part. Hermione, he needs some work, but I'm sure you'll be great for each other. As I once said, Ron is like a "Build-a-boyfriend." The parts are all there, but some assembly is required. I am almost looking forward to the wedding, with the obvious exception of wearing that dress and of Bill being married, because I'll get to see all my good friends again. The more I think of it, the less sense it makes that I don't see more of say, Luna. She lives pretty close, but Summers are always so busy around here. At least since the summer after 3rd year... Anyway, School is starting back soon. I'm wondering who's going to be the 6th year girls' Gryffindor prefect now, since the last one was pulled out of the school last year. Probably not me, I cause too much trouble. Don't know that I'd want to, except for the possibility of a new broom from mum. And I know we can't afford it anyway, so it's not a dream I'm going to dwell on. Either way. Later, Ginny 17 commented.|Comment?

[04 Oct 2005|02:20am] Got bored while Ron and Hermione were talking, and I was trying to keep Arnold safe from her cat, who is fortunately more interested in gnomes. Therefore, I made a new collage/scrapbook/background for my own enjoyment and for yours. A preview of one of the worse bridesmaid dresses is there, in any case, so be entertained. It's hard to read my journal now, but it still like it. You wouldn't believe who's been talking to me, Ron. Or Harry. Or Hermione. Can't wait till everyone's back at the burrow again, it'll be just like old times. In some ways, maybe a little too much like old times I wonder who's going to be made head girl and head boy. Hermione will probably get head girl, almost a given. But Headboy is sort of harder to decide. No offense, Ron. NEWT classes sound...scary. I'll probably continue on in potions because both of the things I'm thinking i might want to do would use that. DADA definitely, Charms for sure, Transfiguration obviously, but the rest are still sort of up in the air. I'll figure it all out sooner or later. In any case, it's getting late, and I should be going to bed! Good night, guys! 23 commented.|Comment?

I'm the open sign that's always busted [03 Oct 2005|08:14pm] [ mood | bouncy ] Ron, Hermione, did I call that one or did I call that one? Congratulations Hermione, and as for Ron: I knew it! That's right. Look your sister in the eyes and tell her she isn't always right. Can't do it, can you? Tonks is coming to the wedding! I wasn't sure until just recently, but I'm relieved. I need another girl here with Hermione and me at this wedding who isn't a complete nutter. Especially a nutter who won't let me eat! Hermione and I are defying her orders, which makes me feel a bit better about things. Harry says he's coming down soon, as well. I'm looking forward to it, I haven't seen him in some time. And now that Ron and Hermione have coupled up, I imagine I'll have a bit more free time than usual. Fred and George will start trying to "Cheer me up" again by covering themselves with boils and odd fur and jumping out from behind statues. They're nearly as rubbish with girls as Ron is, but at least Ron tries. But when he DOES get here, we need to talk about some things. It's a long story and it has something to do with what I said to Ron, so maybe I'll get into it another time. 4 commented.|Comment?

[02 Oct 2005|10:53pm] Hermione is here! Finally, some back up in the crusade against phlegm certain people who won't let me eat and think it's a good plan to stuff me in a pink dress. Newsflash: It's not a good plan, it never was, and it never will be. What I really don't get is why she keeps picking out dresses that are so low cut. I can't imagine that anyone wants to see that at someone's wedding. And if they do...I'm not entirely sure thay I want them at said wedding. Tiramisu beckons, I'll probably get off in a second. Hermione, I am eternally indebted to you for your kindheartedness, and your sugary goodness. You heard it here first, people. As Fred and George have discovered, practicing "Incendio" in a poorly ventilated room is a bad plan. ( Owl to Hermione ) 16 commented.|Comment?

[02 Oct 2005|03:57am] With all that's going on around here, I'm almost looking forward to starting school and getting away from Phlegm. Fleur, it seems, has gone completely mad, and thinks it's a good plan to put me in a pink dress for Bill's and her wedding. I think I may have convinced her otherwise, however, because pink would look horrible with my hair. No use beating around the bush there. Fred and George have been slightly impossible lately. Starting out with SOMEONE telling them that Harry and I had been dating at the end of this year, and them both spewing pumpkin juice about a kilometer. I informed them (Read: threatened to hex them and said) that we'd broken up, and they should mind their own business anyway. They offered to kill him. I declined. Fred and George don't much care for thinking things through. In other news, Hermione, you are invited to the Burrow this week, whether or not Ron can string the words together. Harry, the same invitation is extended to you. Someone please save me from the insane woman who won't let me eat because she thinks I'm too fat. Sincerely yours, Ginny. 53 commented.|Comment?
