Angelica, December 18

I looked out behind the fence at the Shreiking Shack. It's not even a shack, I thought. Why the heck do they call it a shack? It was sort of like a mansion. I stared at it sideways. I don't even know why. It just looked cooler sideways, I guess. But it was so creepy. And old. Why don't they just build a new one? Was it even a house once? I began to wonder. As you can see, thinking was just something that I couldn't help. My friends all went to the pub to get butterbeers, but I really wanted uthe building everyone found so scary. It wasn't as scary as I thought, just abandoned and a little sad. And no one was shrieking. Maybe if someone fixed it up, they could change the name to something nicer. Like, the Smiling Shack. What, I'm just saying!

I'm a Hufflepuff. When my mom found out, she was upset, but only because she's the head of the Griffyndor House. Yep, my mom is Professor McGonnagall. So, yeah... she raised me to become a Griffyndor, and basically told the Sorting Hat to sort me into Griffyndor. But fate chose another course. She was really mad at the hat. She apparrently threw something at it after the sorting. But yes, I am a Hufflepuff, but I live in a large Griffyndor apartment with my mom. She asked me to keep my Hufflepuff flags and scarves and stuff away from her side of the room.

Harry Potter is in Griffyndor. Over the past couple years, I've heard a lot about him- but I've only seen him a few times at Quiddich matches. He's the Griffyndor Seeker, and my mom talked about him all the time. Ugghhhh. All I've ever heard around the apartment is 'Potter this' and 'Potter that' and 'Potter Basalisk' and 'Potter Dementor' and POTTER EVERYTHING! Uggghhh. I've asked Mom why everyone calls him 'Potter', and she just shrugged. But really. It's not like everyone goes around calling me 'McGonnagall'.

I myself am one of the Hufflepuff Chasers, because I'm fast. But the only member of any Quiddich team that really gets the glory is the Seeker. It's so true. Second year, Rita Skeeter was interviewing the Hufflepuff team, and when the picture appeared in the Daily Prophet, only a quarter of my face was actually in the picture. It was literally oriented on the Seeker. Groan. My little brother, Joshua, still doesn't get how the pictures move. He knows magic (obviously), but he's four and still finds the pictures moving amazing. Every time they move, he tries punching them, slapping them, licking them- and is always dissapointed to realize that they're not going to give him a reaction. It's kind of cute, actually.

I got distracted by my thoughts and leaned a little too hard on the fence between me and the Shrieking Shack, and it cracked, falling into the deep snow. Oh Voldy, I forgot it was so rickety.

"NOO!". I screamed a little too loud. I stood there in awkward silence, staring at the broken fence, when I heard laughing behind me. I whirled around and Ron Weasley was sitting there, laughing. My face burned red. Was he there this entire time? Cover up, cover up!

"Uhmmmm....". I laughed nervously. "I'm practicing for a play. Yep, it's called "Break a Fence and Scream". I play the main character, um... um... Josh Hutcherson." STUPID! Josh Hutcherson!?!

"Oh, I've heard of that one.". Ron grinned and walked over to me, leaning on the remainder of the fence.

"Yeah.". I smiled nervously. "Yep, they're having a, um, female actress play him. Because, well you know..."

"Oh yeah, I get it.". Ron laughed. "I've seen that musical. My favorite part is when Josh Hutcherson leans on the fence too hard. And then he meets Jennifer Lawrence. Oh, who's playing her?"

"Um... Neville!". STUPID! AGAIN! "Heh...". Neville and I have been friends since we were seven, hopefully he'll cover up for me.

"Cool, I'll ask him about it.". Ron nodded, then winked at me. "I'll see you around... um..."
