November 25th, 1987

Flint is bullying me rather terribly. He threw my book in a cauldron and laughed when I got upset.

I don't want to be here anymore. I tried to talk to Bill, but he was doing something with a girl. They were making weird noises and kissing. 

I tried to talk to Charlie, but he was busy playing Exploding Snap with that Tonks girl. She's really pretty and cool, so I got scared and ran away after she said hi to me.

I have good ears. I heard Tonks say, "Did I scare him?"

And Charlie responded, "He's just weird. Don't worry about it."

I have been in my dormitory bed with the curtains magically closed ever since.

-Percy who thinks maybe his big brothers don't care about him.
