It's been such a strange start to hols, hasn't it? I gave Dad the biggest hug when I got home because I just kept thinking of the World Cup last year and how much worse that could have been. Don't tell her I told you, but Pav had nightmares the night before we left-about Sanji. She acted like she was fine when I asked her about it though.

It was nice of Greengrass to post the revue results before we left--it was good to have something cheerful to discuss on the train.

Lovegood's at the Weasleys'. I always forget that she practically grew up with them. I think she was afraid Mum wouldn't let her go-I'm not sure why, it's not as if Mum's unfeeling.

Speaking of friends of the Weasleys', what on Earth is Longbum sending you PMs for?

Oh, it's been so weird, I agree!

I could barely sleep last night. I guess just because home is so unfamiliar, in a way.

As for Longbum, it's the most annoying thing. You saw how Finnigan wrote to us both? Well, Longbum wanted to ask if I could help him next term because he's practically failing Noble Arts. And everything else, probably! He was too embarrassed to ask on his own, so that's why Seamus brought it up.

I haven't decided yet whether I'll tutor him. I mean, it's not like he can get a whole lot of help, given his deficiencies, but on the other hand, he's making an honest effort to improve, and it's part of a Prefect's duties to help out.

What do you think I should do?
