[Private to her friends that are girls]

Um, how do you act when you're going to dinner with someone you like that likes you? I've never been on a date before... er... um dinner date? I'm nervous.

[Private to Anthony]

I hope you feel better, Anthony. If you need anything, just ask.

Everything is just getting out of control. It all seems like some made up horror and fucked up film. I have no idea what other things to expect.

Jun is getting married! I'm very shocked. I can't believe that my brother is getting married and my father is ecstatic... I didn't even know that my brother was dating anyone! I didn't even think he had anyone in mind. I always thought he was focused on his job. How wrong I was. Anyways, apparently 'cause of the virus they are getting married and are planning to leave to the States. I'll miss you, Jun.

[Private: Self]

I want to cry. My brother is getting married and leaving me. I always thought I was alone until I realized my brother loved me. Now he is getting married and leaving. How am I going to deal with Father and Mother once I get out of this place? I'll have even more pressure on me.

I wish you luck, Jun. I love you.

I'm sad I won't be attending. Happy wedding big brother. Thanks a lot stupid government and school virus.

I suppose I'll go finish reading the novel I picked up last week. I'm finally getting to the interesting part. Very pretty story.

I don't want to be stuck here waiting for the virus to come and infect us. Are they seriously thinking of letting us stay here until we all get infected so they can get rid of us once and for all?

I'm very scared. Mum, dad, Jun! I want you guys.

I'm quite excited for the ball! Though I'm a bit off seeing as I was sick for a while. Is it a costume ball?

I'm so behind in everything!

Thank you all for your notes and get well wishes! It's helped a lot.

I'm sick. I hate the fact that that has been keeping me from enjoying the days and nights. I've missed three days of classes due to it and I'm not happy being behind in them. If anyone can be sweet and let me borrow their notes for a bit? I am ahead two chapters in each class but I do want to know what we were discussing.

Thank you.

I need some herbal tea...

[Private to Ravenclaws Only]

I do apologize in advance if I cost our house some points. I didn't mean to but... well, I suppose it was inevitable. Yes it was? Oh I don't know. I couldn't leave her! It was unfair! I'm sorry.

[/End Hex]

Congratulations Gryffindor for a victorious match. I hope Ravenclaw has the same luck when we play.

I have decided to stay in school. My parents don't seem to mind so I suppose I'll just continue with the studies. Hopefully nothing horrible happens... not that they'll care.

If anyone would like tutoring of any sort, I volunteer myself to help. I'm ahead three or four chapters in each class so helping someone else might take my mind off of a few things. Just tell me if you'd like help in any subject.

[Private to Morag]

Morag, will you be moving in to an empty dormitory in Ravenclaw tower or will you stay in the girls dorm?

I went to the library to get a book on Advanced Astronomy found a table and sat down on it. I got up for a few seconds to get another book and when I came back my roll of parchment was gone along with my essay and notes on the paper we are to turn in on Wednesday! It's not really hard to do your homework you know? You just have to sacrifice time! I'm very upset right now because I do not understand who could possibly take that? This is... rubbish!

Does anyone have an extra roll of parchment I could borrow for the mean time? I have to owl my mother for a new one. What will father say? I don't even want to think about it.

Quarantine? Just the sound of that word makes me shudder. I really hope that they're able to contain it and if not, then at least find a cure to it. All those poor people suffering the loss of magic! I specially feel bad for those who can't live without magic. I suppose for them it will be starting to live again, only this time without magic.

At least the symptoms of this virus aren't bloody or destroy your insides. Now that would be even more horrible.

Still, I'll owl my brother to see how he is doing. I hope the rest of you are well and taking care of yourselves. If anyone needs anything, please don't hesitate to contact.

I'm very excited to be going back and so are my parents, well mostly my mother. Father doesn't seem to put his input much but I know that as long as he sees me studying he won't say anything. Then again, he never really speaks to me...

So Jun moved out of the house and everything is just so strange. Usually I hear him talking with my mother or father but now I just hear the dishes washing themselves and the birds chirping outside. It reminds me of an old horror movie when the killer is just stalking the house and waiting for an innocent victim to walk downstairs... Really scary actually. Now I don't want to go downstairs, especially since I'm the only one home seeing as my parents went to visit my brother's new flat. I bet father will get him furniture and probably offer to pay his rent. I find it a bit stupid really, I mean my brother works and can fend off for himself. Father needs to realize his son is grown up already and needs to get over the fact that Jun is not the only child he has. He also has me.

I can't wait until I move out of here.

I'm more than excited to be going back to school.
