Scorpius Malfoy

Let me start off by saying I DIDN'T MEAN TO, alright? There was a second year who'd lost her lace ribbon in the common room and I thought I'd be a nice prefect and help her. I didn't think any harm could come from "Accio lace". Honestly!

ATTENTION: FEMALES OF HOGWARTS
Any girls who have noticed lacy apparel missing from their trunks are welcome to collect said items from the Slytherin common room.

I apologise for the inconvenience.

It was nice getting out of the castle, even if it was to go sit on in a trial. Actually, the trial itself was pretty interesting, too. It made our little school Wizengamock pale in comparison. I still have absolutely no intentions of ever being on the Wizengamot, though. Far too many people in one room talking about the same thing!

How did everyone else spend their Saturday morning?

I ate all of those sweets and they made me sick. Or maybe I was a bit ill beforehand, because I did feel a bit rough on the train back. The world should cry tears of sympathy for me, I know. Anyway, all better now.

I have decided that I require a cat. Many significant people throughout history had little cat companions, and I believe they are more suitable than canines. They know how to keep themselves presentable, for starters. Furthermore, they are quite dainty, graceful, and intelligent. Downside to this decision is that I know next to nothing about specific breeds and care and stuff.

So, Hogwarts:

How often does one have to feed a cat?

Which is the best breed of cat?

Is it really worth it, anyway?

Have been forced into mandatory family bonding time. Christmas didn't live up to Mum's expectations and she confiscated my journal and the owls and everything. She even hid the stupid floo powder. It's been non-stop holiday songs and games of charades since, except when visitors come and she pretends she's perfectly sane. No one is fooled, Mum. No one is fooled.

Thanks for all the presents, I hope you can all put yours to good use. Especially you, Sloper!

What's everyone up to for on the 31st, then? I remember something going around a few weeks ago but couldn't be bothered planning so far ahead.

Those cupcakes were delicious and kind of mildly adorable. Thank you, Secret Santa, whoever you were. I think as an extra present you should pass along the recipe. Not that I can cook or anything, but we'll see how the house-elves do at putting smiley snowman faces on baked goods.

On another note, I'm looking forward to going home for the holidays. Kind of. I may need rescuing from the boredom at around day three, but until then I'll be happy to have my own rooms.

Not attending classes today. Have come down with something. Someone other than Vincent take notes for me please? Much obliged. Want something a bit more educational than descriptors of a girl's womanly bits.

Warded to well-known pranksters
I will find out whatever one of you did this and you will pay dearly.

Once upon a time there was a gallant young man named Scorpius. Scorpius had everything he could ever want- a winning smile, luscious hair, and a quick mind. Unfortunately for Scorpius, he was surrounded by villains. These villains banded together under the name 'Dorm Mates', and sometimes did things to ruin poor Scorpius's life. There was that incident where one of the Dorm Mates turned Scorpius's ties pink, although that didn't turn out to be very effective at ruining Scorpius's life because the pink, like every other perceivable colour, complemented Scorpius's glowing skin tone. Azure was a particularly flattering colour as it brought out his shining blue-- NEVERMIND, I HAD A POINT.

Which one of you has been using my hair serum? Don't think I haven't noticed! The bottle is being used up at an alarming rate, and it's not because of me. At this rate I'll run out in a few days, and it's special order from Italy, takes at least a week to arrive! I've just sent off an order for two new bottles and you can have one when they get here (I'm all for other people perusing beauty). Until then, knock it off! And if it's one of you brutes from another year, stay out of the sixth year dorm before we're forced to employ a guard-troll.
