It was the dinner after exams that everything changes at Hogwarts. There was chaos and explosions, vines growing outside and a strange pull of magic that Lindsey and others felt. They had to protect the artefacts, but one was never returned.
After going to the Portrait of the Raven, she went on to the sixth floor and fought against several dark witches and wizards. Twice she used Diffindo on those attacking them, shocking herself later on. When a student fell in the battle, along side Dumbledore, her world took a flip. Never had she seen death and there it was before her.

Today, we left Hogwarts to go home for the summer. I invited my friend, Sinead, to join my family for the summer and I am so excited to have her. It isn't often I get friends to Highfield. With the recent events at Hogwarts, I am glad to be going home, away from the memories of the Sixth Floor Corridor. I don't know if ma will ask me about the events, but she might. She is always concerned. Once we were home, I showed Sinead our house, my brother, Ian came to greet us, which is always nice. He should be attending Hogwarts with me next year. Oh, I think Ma is calling me for dinner, better go!
SUMMER ENTRY #1
interacted with @sinead , @zoey , @yuko , mention of Reena Ashworth
Summer has been so exciting! Sinead has gotten to spend all of it with us. I have still been having nightmares. But, da and ma are helping me cope as best as they can. I have gotten to take Sinead around the village and we have been riding some. It has been great fun! We got out Hogwarts letters and ma offered to let Sinead use her owl to send the permission slips home. I wrote to Reena and I hope she is doing well. It has been a long summer and I am not very sure if I want to go back to Hogwarts, but I feel like I need to face everything again.
Our trip to Diagon Alley was pleasant enough, as ma did all the shopping for us and we spent time with our friends at the ice cream parlor. The rain the arrived didn't really bother us too much, but we did try and find some shelter. It was nice to see Zoey and Yuko. I didn't hang out with either of them enough last year, so maybe I can change that?
Well, we have returned to Hogwarts! It was a little bitter-sweet to say goodbye to my grandsire and granny. And my father was concerned for my wellbeing. I guess, in regards to what happened last year, even if he doesn't know the whole details... To be honest, I am not sure... I still have those nightmares. It is weird, because I am not having the nightmares from my point of view... But I am watching myself from a different angle? Like, I am my own target? It is weird and terrifying.
Sinead and I took the train to Hogwarts and joined Amber from Ravenclaw... Several others joined us and it was kept fairly talkative the whole way. I was shocked though when I arrived at Hogsmeade and went to get to a carriage... The creatures pulling the carriage are absolutely bizarre looking? They look like giant horses with wings and I wonder if they could fly while pulling a carriage?
It was raining tonight and even though I was starting to get rather wet from the rain, going into the castle that was bring back several memories from last year was a bit difficult. It was nice that Sinead was there to provide some amount of comfort.
The feast was amazing as always. The speech the headmaster gave a bit... Well, interesting to say the least. I saw Professor Sprout at the staff table, but there were so many new teachers! I am quite excited about taking Divination this year, though I will certainly miss the creatures. I saw William this evening as well and Reena! William even auditioned for the frog choir!
I headed to the Slytherin Dorms and managed to get me a nice shower before I went back into the Common Room. Reena was there...
Dear Diary, I slept terribly my first night back at Hogwarts. I knew it would be difficult, but the nightmares returned worst. I knew Sinead was near by, she helped bring me some comfort, but it was hard to get a good rest. I think I might speak to Professor Snape about brewing a potion to help with my sleep? I believe there is a Dreamless Potion I can brew.
I am taking divinations and charms today, so I am quite excited about that.
Mother sent me a letter this morning already. She is doing some training for her healing career for both magical and muggle. Father is returning to Edinburgh for a job in his field as well. I should write him soon.
My first class today was divination with a new Professor, Traddles. The classroom was just warm and different with different color chairs and I have to admit that Professor Taddles seems like a warm and friendly man.
After class, Reena asked me to walk with her, which I was glad to do, but wish I hadn't now. She told me how she needed to focus on her studies now and how she needed to surround herself with the right people... It was obvious she was speaking about Amara and I don't think I consider them right people. I know that you have to prove yourself to Amara and she doesn't think highly of anyone else... I wonder what Reena did to earn her Amara attention. I guess it just shows how little I knew Reena... She obviously showed she didn't care about our friendship to just be able to drop it like holding coal from the hearth.
I found myself wandering in the Spiral Tower soon after and figured I would give some of my keys a try, which put me in a room with a pool and buckets. I dove down to get a stone and on my way to the surface, I ended up nearly being pulled back under. But, I made it back and sent the stone into one of the buckets before leaving. I did make me feel a little better about the day though.
Charms was a fun class and we learned about finite incantatem, a counter-spell. It was quite interesting and the practice fun in it's own way. Rivera is an excellent professor.
After that, I went out to find ingredients and spent some time with a younger Slytherin at the covered bridge and forest path. I managed to collect a few different things, thankfully.
I returned for dinner, eating mostly by myself and returned to the dorm to organize my area of the dorm. I hated taking down the pictures, the memories I have had over the years. But, I'm not going to allow myself to held up on anyone. Time to move on, since she clearly found it so easy herself.
This morning started out normal, though quiet for me as I got ready. I arrived to Breakfast and sat with others in my year, including Reena, though I didn't speak to her much. There is no need to anymore, obviously. But, I heard Benji mentioning a hurt finger, so I had to see if I could help.
I concluded that it was likely jammed, due to the puffy nature of the knuckle and the redness. I had seen it before in my mother's clinic. I didn't dare pull it, my mother would have, but I am not a healer.
With the arrival of the Daily Prophet, I was rather taken by the main article talking about the Ashworth Brothers who had died. I am rather sure one of those was Reena's father and I felt really bad for her. I know she made it clear she did not wish to be my friend any longer, but maybe I just care too much. Four years can't be easily erased.
Defense Against the Dark Arts class took place this morning...

Dear Reena I have miss you so much Mo charaid. Sinead and I have spent most the summer together and went out on a ride recently. It was so fun! We are going to Diagon Alley very soon! I hope we see you there?
How was your summer? Have you and your siblings done anything fun? I can't wait to hear from you! We send you all our love! Much Love! Lindsey attached is a picture for Sinead and Lindsey, obviously taken by someone else. It is a magical picture and both are laughing
Leanabh mo ghràidh, (my dearest child) We hope your trip back to Hogwarts was uneventful. Your grandparents explored London yesterday and wished me to tell you they found some interesting books on Herbology and Potions from a friend of theirs. I will be sending them later in the year or you can get them at Christmas if you come.
Your father got word of a position with company designing buildings. They are located in Edinburgh, so he will be away much of the year while he works with this new muggle company. I will be attending a few new trainings to advance my healing practices and also attending a muggle class to further my aid to our muggle neighbors.
Please let me know if you decide to return to Saint Mungo’s yourself for your internship.
Màthair (Mother) I am so happy that father got the position he was applying for. I heard him speak about it over the summer and he seemed very excited. I hope to visit him over the holidays. Will he be home for Christmas? Or will we go and visit him in Edinburgh? I have not been there in years and I would love to go and see it again.
Please, send those books before Christmas! I would love to take a look at them and maybe write some notes and show them to my professors for more studies. They would certainly help me this year.
Good luck on your training and I will let you know about Saint Mungo as soon as I decided.
