The yearbooks came out really well, although I feel a bit sad getting it knowing this is the last one I'll receive.

Everything seems a bit surreal now.

OK, so that's it. The exams are over. I don't think I failed anything, but I'm fairly sure there are one or two I only got Average for. But I'm not going to dwell on it now. I'd rather just enjoy the luxury of not having to study!

Halfway through - just five more to go. I'd like to kick whoever scheduled Friday's exams.

Someone asked me if the rumour about giant frogs playing the villians in the movie was true. If it is, then I'm definitely not going to be part of it. I might be able to stretch to a vampire army, but giant frogs? That's a farce!

Well... good luck everyone.

I'm about as ready as I'll ever be.

Ughhhhhh

At least acting doesn't require high pass marks... I hope

Although I've said this in person to most of you, thanks to everyone that wished me happy birthday yesterday. And thanks to those who gave me gifts, they were all great! I felt a bit bad for all those owls who delivered the presents from...

As for the musical, the first night went well didn't it? Aside from the sudden influx of those goldfrogs (none got killed!). Stage crew, you did a great job! So did everyone else!

That was a fun rehearsal (yes, I'm being sarcastic). I was practically swimming in my costume! I suppose at least it didn't itch like some of the others did. What's next?

Anyway, I've been getting questions about the movie and I've managed to find out what happened. Seems it wasn't my agent's idea, but my Mother's (how she got wind of this I don't know, she must have made contacts when she came to see me in Romeo & Juliet) who talked to my agent and everything snowballed from there. The upshot is that I have been signed to a role, but I've told them that I want right of refusal if the script is utter crap. Whether I can influence the script in any way remains to be seen. I'm a model not an Academy Award winning actor, what do people expect? I suspect that I'll also have to sign a confidentiality clause once the script is done though so I probably won't be able to give much of an inside scoop on what the changes are.

I don't think know if I'll be able to get parts for other people, but the hint seems to be there will be some general auditions so once I know anything I'll let you know. Please don't ask me for more than that at the moment!

WHAT?

But... I... it... how?

Hopefully the Minister's victory will put an end to all the accusations and we can just move on. I'd rather focus on passing my exams and deciding whether my mother's suggestion to sign with the Japanese entertainment agency is a good one or not.

However, there is one more important thing to do right now and that's to say...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ANNIE!

I apologise to Ravenclaw for a small section of my Housemates who are being idiots.

Did anyone listen to the wireless programmes today - the one about Minister Macmillian would have been better if there'd been more balanced speculation, but I suppose considering it was a conservative view then the bias isn't surprising. I think they're jumping to conclusions a bit fast though, especially as from what I've seen there's still a lot of support for him.

What I can't believe is that there's still speculation about a movie on the vanishings over two months ago. Is that really important? No, I am not going to be in it.

Congratulations to Hufflepuff for winning the match yesterday, and congratulations to Ravenclaw for winning the cup.

It's a bit sad to think that's the last game I'll ever be cheering for. More than the constant reminders of NEWTs, it's stuff like that which really brings home that I won't be back at Hogwarts next year.

One thing I won't be sorry to leave behind is the slambook. Whoever has it doesn't understand the word 'originality' and is just recycling the same old stuff. Not to mention the people who just can't get let goof trying to make up rumours on my sexuality based on nothing. It makes me curious though, is it my career? Or something else? I'm not actually upset, because I know what's true, I'd just like to know before I leave school.

I'm actually glad things got a little crazy in Charms Club, it helped disperse some tension for a while.

Speaking of crazy, there's a mad rumour going around about Professor Longbottom intending to battle with a dragon. Where did that come from?

Today has to have been the least enjoyable Hogsmeade visit I've had for a long time.

I really don't know what to think about Muliber's arrest. It's logical to think there must be some evidence pointing to him for the Aurors to arrest him so suddenly, but I refuse to speculate further. Hopefully the truth will come out soon and the mad theories will cease.

I'd much rather focus on studying for NEWTs.

I can't believe it's March tomorrow. June is coming far too close.

The sudden return of the lake (or is that the sudden return of me?) and the fact I'm now wet to the knees seems to indicate things are back to normal?

Nikki?

Marty?

Corrie?

Can you read this?

( Private to Nikki )

So who knows some good stories? I know a few Japanese folk tales - anyone else want to share something before we sleep tonight? It'll help pass the time at least!

Why send me chocolate when I've already said in an interview that I don't like it (unless it's very dark)?

[Private to Hufflepuffs]

There are two large boxes of Valentine's chocolates and a chocolate heart on the common room table. Help yourselves... please.

I suspect more will be coming. Hopefully there aren't any mind-alerting charms and potions

I'm undecided about the telephones. Personally I'd rather have my mobile work here than using something on the wall. Plus knowing my mother, she'd mix up the time zones and call at some ridiculous hour.

Still, it's about time there was a better form of communication, not just at Hogwarts but elsewhere.

Although all these wires are annoying and a hazard.
