Dear Diary

The holidays after that were basically just Seamus coming to my house a few times and me going to Liv's house and vice-versa.

The first time Seamus camme to my house, we came into my room. He looked around with a slightly screwed up noce, and said, "do you know what we sould do these holidays?"

And I said, "what should we do these holidays?"

So he said, "a room makeover! This room is so dull and boring! You need to spice it up! Make it your own!"

Then I said, "hmm... yeah. Now that I think about it, I've gotten so used to it that I don't even notice it's boring."

I clear out everything using my wand. "Okay, what do you want to do?" asks Seamus.

"I'd really like a teal kind of colour on each wall, so I can put pictures and drawings all on it. Agh, this is gonna be amazing!" I say, pulling out my wand.

I flick my wand, and sparks fly out of it and into the walls. It's the perfect colour!

"I love magic," I sigh.

"What d'you think of the carpet? I think it's a bit 60's to be honest." he says. At the moment it's a creamy-yellowy yuck colour.

"Ooh, ooh! I have been waiting for this moment! I'm getting good colour carpet! Well, I'd love a dark grey, it would go really nice with the teal."

This time he takes out his wand and starts flicking it, but I stop him just in case he sets fire to the carpet.

I turn it into a nice charcoal colour. Somehow this colour choice looks really familiar, but I don't know where from.

"I was right! It does go! Now, bedspreads."

I flick and swish my wand, and it brings my bed to its original spot. There is a window in the middle of the wall, so my bed goes in front of that.

Then I put a white duvet on. I get a teal blanket to cover the foot of the bed. Then I get some cushions to make it more stylish.

Then I think, what could make it more me?

So I take my wand and the wooden legs on the corners of the bed rise , creating a four-poster bed.

I conjure a large piece of white silk, and somehow attach it to make it look regal.

"What do you think?" I ask.

"It's good! I wouldn't have been able to do that," he says.

"Yeah, because you would have just blown everything up."

He laughs.

"Hmm.... I need a bedside cabinet...." I remember I've got a wooden one, so I put it next to the bed and make it white.

Then I put a lamp on it, and Seamus asks how it's powered.

"Ecletricity, " I say. I know it's electricity, but I just wanted to say that so badly.

I turn to face the next wall.

"Now... I need a desk to store all my crap." I see the one outside but I decide to just vanish it. It's a school sized one and light purple (ugh) so you can guess I don't like it.

I get a much larger desk with four drawers. I change it to white and get a swirly computer chair.

The cushy bit is navy.

I don't like it.

I change it to (you guessed it ) teal and it looks a lot better.

I get a teal pencil holder, and grab the mug Belle gave me. I put my pencils and quills into both of them.
