roll the windows down, turn the radio up

and push the pedal to the ground

Some random observations I've made over the course of a few days.

Ice cream is way better when you don't eat it by yourself.

House elves are strange little creatures. They sort of remind me of Japanese anime characters with their huge eyes.

I think I've been feeling a bit more down than usual lately as I haven't had the urge to cartwheel down the hall. I need to remedy that situation immediately. Which hallway has the least amount of statues for me to crash into...

My dad owled me this fantastic book, "Magic for Musicians". It's got all sorts of neat spells in it to record the things I've been writing without having to use clunky old muggle equipment, which annoyingly don't work here anyway. I think I'm going to run off to the Room of Requirement and see if I can't get the piano to show up again so I can record some things. I'm bringing Madeline too since this one song would sound great, I think, on acoustic guitar. I'm so excited!

So I think I should start taking potions to improve my memory. It could save me from more potentially embarrasing situations.

Is it possible to channel my pregnant stepmother? I'm seriously craving bloodpops and chocolate pudding. Anybody got some to spare?

I need more coffee and some time out on the pitch.

It's been strangely sunny for this time of year. Not that I'm complaining as it means I can be out on the pitch or just outside in general more. I hate the days I get stuck wandering the castle with all it's gloom. I know it was years ago and maybe it's just the stories my dad told me, but sometimes I can sense the grief and fear when my hand runs along the stone walls. I hate that feeling. The only way I can shake it is to go fly or play my guitar.

Speaking of which I haven't played Maddie in a few days. Maybe I should take her out into the courtyard and get some air. There's some lyrics I wrote the other day that I could try and work out a melody for. What I wouldn't give for access to a piano.

I'm looking for a song to sing
I'm looking for a friend to borrow
I'm looking for my radio
So I might find a heart to follow
I've never been just longing for your loving
I've never been just wearing down to nothing
I've never been just looking for a reason
So that maybe you'll be thinking of me
You'll be thinking of me

I got a letter from my dad yesterday. My stepmom is pregnant. Dad says they're thrilled and I guess I am too. It will be weird though having such a huge age gap between me and this kid.I wonder what they'll be like.
