I am having trouble with Arithmancy but also -- you know what Gryffindor's like. I room with Weasley and Longbottom, and of course there's Dean Thomas but he hardly talks most of the time.

It's such a relief to find another boy in my own House who really believes in the Protectorate. So we revise but we also sometimes just talk.

I think revising Transfiguration is a good idea, though. Maybe I should tell Hooper tomorrow night is better. I don't want to give Carrow any excuse to -- what is with him this year? I thought he was bad enough before.
