I find it hard to trust

Merlin, it feels like an age and a half since I've written in this thing.

I've completed my Cursebreaker training, and that has me feeling better than I have in a long time. I'm finally worth something. I'm home for about a week or two. It's a shame that nearly my entire family is up at the school. If only I could convince a couple of them to come to Hogsmeade for tea. The staff members at least. Not that Sammie would ever break a rule in her life.

I've made a friend while in Egypt one of the first ones I've had outside the family. To be honest, I can't say I expected to take so well to Noel Grey, but I'm glad I have.

I believe I'd forgotten how cold London is.

Just posting to let you guys know that I'm going to be hiatus-y until the end of August. Lots of stuff to do. LOVE YOU GUYS!

( Look what I found... )

I adore my family. I really do.

EDIT:

( Private to...anyone Riley considers a friend EXCEPT Noel )

You know what I hate? I'm the one in the family everyone picks on. Why? Because I'm the runt of the litter and I'm a ginger. It's not fair. D:

( NEWT scores. )

Though it's times like these that I wonder why I insisted on taking Potions. Ah, well. I have a job already. And I did well in my favorite class, obviously.

By the way, I'm home for a week. Does anyone want to do something?

In case it needed clarifying? Egypt is hot.

What's going on at home? There better not have been any crazy family reunions without me.

I have a job. And a flat. I guess I'm not a worthless bum anymore. Well...at least not the bum part.

Anyway, Gringotts accepted me. I start training next week. Which consequently means I'll be in Egypt from next week until mid July. And right after that I can move all my things into my flat. Anyone want to make five galleons and help me out with that when the time comes around?

This whole 'responsible adult' thing is weird.

SORRY PROFESSOR. DEPARDIEU JUST CAN'T BEAT THIS!



IT'S NOT HIS FAULT. HE JUST CAN'T BEAT LAURIE.

I took Lando's advice. Surely I've lost my mind. I mean, it's not like he's intelligent or anything.

I applied to Gringotts for Cursebreaker training. Yay grave-robbing? Well, at least I'm fulfilling my duty and adding to the insanity of my family. I also found an apartment I...well, it's nice and affordable. A rare find. Here's hoping I get it.

Is it weird that I just realized how terrifying the world can be? I mean, I always knew they were bad people. Bad things happen. It's how it is. I just...I don't know. Maybe it doesn't really hit you until you're facing it on your own. Ah well. All you can do is keep living, right?

I'm sick of March. It's over soon, right?
