I FINALLY FIGURED IT OUT!

It appears Quidditch has people up in arms again.

Emily Longbottom appears to have stirred up some negative feelings by expressing her happiness about the win in a way that comes off as poor sportsmanship. She also made derogatory remarks about the commentary provided by Paul Coote and Sylvia Peakes that did not go over well.

That combined with Maclovius O'Carolan's post about his feelings has managed to upset a number of people. The most vocal is Niamh Li. There appears to have been a conflict in Niamh's journal. I've asked Niamh to discontinue since she belongs in my house but if one of the Gryffindors could speak to Emily that would be appreciated.

I think it would be be best to quell it before the journals have to be shut down again.

Hopefully the blanket warning will discourage others from joining in.

Niamh's birthday is coming up . I'm not warding this against her since we discussed this. Anyways, we were thinking sleepover. It'll be on December 28, 2023 @ My house in Peterhead. If you can read this, this means you're invited. It's just going to be a low-key, fun day and I hope to see each and every one of your faces.

Hypothetically, if someone invites you to the movies after confessing (and never bringing it back up) that they might possibly fancy you a bit is that considered a date or is that considered friends going to the movies?

I agreed to it whatever it is.

This is what it means to breath.

When are you going to watch Charlotte in the play? I promise I won't stand you up like I did for studying this week. I sort of owe you big time for dealing with me acting mentally ill, drunk and emotional in moderation for the last ... well, almost two and some days weeks. I've been all over the place but it's over and I mean it for real this time.

If I start acting barmy again, you have permission to hex me until I straighten up.

I know we lost but are we (meaning you, me and Rachel - and anyone else) still on for Uno?

Nice match. You played well.

I wonder how obvious the fact I kept looking at Josh was. I hope Brooke isn't about to kick me off squad. I totally blundered on that one cheer. I wonder if my real lack of pep is why we lost the match.

Why did someone have to leave their copy of Witch Weekly out and why did it have to have an article out about this stuff? It's a sign, right?

Be Strong. No matter how much it hurts pretend to be okay. Visualize the future not the past. You can make anything happen by visualizing what you want.

Limit Contact. Let him approach when he is ready. No more owls or notes.

Find Distractions. Cheer, prefect stuff, studying, etc etc. Find new things to do.

Accept the Breakup. The goal is make a fresh start not to rekindle.

Known Issues
- conflict resolution / fear of conflict
- jealousy

Work on this. You can make anything you want happen. You decide your own destiny. No one else.

I think we-

Are you-

I thought I would save you all the trouble of hearing it in the grapevine or having to ask. Josh and I decided mutually to no longer be together. We're still going to be part of each other's life though and we still care about each other. The timing just isn't there and we both need different things right now.

Before you ask, I'm okay. I think I'm just going to throw some rocks in the Great Lake.

I'd rather you yell than not talk to me. I miss your voice and I hate fighting like this. If you still want to space, I understand but I thought you should know.

Rachel and Brooke were pretty firm on their opinions on this. I can't just back down this time. It's killing me because I really want to go find Josh and apologize but I didn't do anything wrong. If anyone needs to apologize, it's him. He's right mean sometimes and sometimes I don't think he gets just how horrible some of the things he says are. Jareth doesn't want to be his friend and neither does Tristan but they could all just pretend to like each other sometimes. It would make my life entirely less complicated.

Prefect rounds and Jareth's birthday haven't exactly done much to distract me.

I have Cheer today. Hopefully, I'll be able to get my mind off everything during that.

This is not the fun part of having a boyfriend.

A student who is confined to the hospital wing reported an item missing to me early today and I promised that I would help try and find it. It appears the item included some rather personal writings. Someone has found this notebook and taken to posting excerpts around the school.

Due to the nature of the writings, I'm not sure if the name should be shared. Of course, some people are already speculating. I trust that they did not mean for anyone to ever have their personal thoughts read. I'm removing what I can find but I'm honestly not sure how many posting there are in the school.

I know there isn't much more that can be done but I thought I should let you know about the situation.
