Friday 13th 1981

This whole Friday 13th stuff is nonsense. If anything happens to you today, it is either a coincidence, or as result of either your or somebody else's expectations and intentions based on the date.

For all the deaths from dragon pox, and the terrorist attacks, it all pales into perspective when confronted with a good earthquake, doesn't it? 4,800 the official figures are now. Such a tragedy for Italy, and the world.

Death Eaters
Do you think we could cause an earthquake? How much magic do you think it would take? Maybe we could find a place where it's already pretty unstable and then - bam! That would be kind of fantastic.

What's everyone doing for Halloween? I have a costume but nowhere to wear it.

As if we didn't know already, since the 'art' of Divination is clearly a scam run by people with an unhealthy attachment to incense: the likelihood of a genuine prediction passing through Sybil Trelawney's lips is zero. She has made hundreds of predictions over the course of her lifetime, and not one of them has come true (beyond reasonable coincidence).

Anyone want to come out for a drink for my birthday? First round's on me.

Did anyone else notice how much those muggles looked like rats? It was quite striking, the parallel. It seems to be a common instinct, to run about when in danger and out of control. I want to try and replicate the experiment with other animals.

Alecto
You can come if you come disguised, or you can wait outside. She's not to know she's with anyone but me. The action, though, will be with the Dark Lord himself.

Death Eaters
Report to the Dark Lord on Saturday. Wear robes.

Lily Evans
Are we still on for Saturday?

How exactly are we supposed to recruit someone who doesn't talk to anybody? I mean, I can understand enjoying your own company, but Walker's an extreme case. Do we just march in and go for it, no preamble?

I think I'm going to stop reading the papers for a week or so. We get it, you're angry. We're all angry. That doesn't mean you should have a public platform to express your anger unless you (a) have a novel and interesting point to make or (b) are particularly eloquent or persuasive. The view from the ground is dull and repetitive and taking up far too much of my paper.

Nice to have a party in my own house for a change. It makes it so much easier if I get drunk and forget everything that happened, because at least I'm waking up in my own bed even if it seems to have been recently vacated by another warm body. Anyone see who I slipped off with? There weren't many girls there, so it shouldn't be too hard to narrow it down. I hope it wasn't the daughter of anyone scary.

Head hurts though. Hair of the dog, anyone?

Tonight, you must all look at the night sky through your telescopes. Pluto has moved inside Neptune's orbit for the first time since records began. It's pretty exciting.

Well look at that. I'm not a teenager any more. I suppose that means I'm not allowed to be moody now.

Happy Epiphany everybody!

Well, I didn't half get some rubbish for Christmas. Anyone want a chess set? I'm sure I don't need 3. I don't even like chess. I'd love to swap it for a muggle game, if you have any.

There are times when all of us need human companionship. We are, after all, social animals.

Let's do something.

Anyone following the muggle news? Muggles are crazy. A whole bunch of them, in some cult or other decided to kill themselves. Like their lives aren't precarious enough already. I wonder if it makes them feel like they have some sort of power? Hundreds died. Can you imagine if hundreds of us died? How would we ever survive?

Aww, a peace treaty between Egypt and Israel. Glad to hear they're finally letting go of that Moses business.

Well it can't be any worse than the practices I've been put through this week.

I hate my dad.

It was nice to go to a party at the weekend. It's been a while since I saw so many people I like all together. Most of my friends have finished school now, which makes it look more like I ought to be growing up. We'll call this a gap year, only instead of traveling I sort of laid around dressed in weird clothes.

Oh. Yeah, if you want to see pictures of me in a loincloth, my mum's having an exhibition next week at the Black Cat Gallery on Diagon Alley.
