If you want to backstory with little Colten, here's the place to do it!

I have spent so much time in the Great Hall that I could scream. /rant

I am deeply saddened by the fact that a fellow schoolmate has been killed. I just can't believe that yet another young life has been ended so tragically. My heart goes out to the family and friends of the Hufflepuff student.

[charmed heavily against all eyes]

I know I should be really sad and such for the death of another student, but for some reason it excites me somewhat. Death Eaters in the school again. I wonder if my brother knew about it. I wonder what would have happened if I had been allowed to that party. What side would I have been on? Am I the "bad" child my parents think I am or deep down am I really just like them.....

One of the best books I've read, hands down. My father would be so upset to know I am reading a muggle novel, but what he doesn't know won't hurt him. (Unless someone tells him of course, then there could be a problem, and I mean a big problem)

I keep wondering who our "frodo" will be? I mean, someone has to end the reign of The Dark Lord, don't they? We can't live like this forever.

So Colin was nice enough to point out a few people to avoid. Zoey Montclair being one of them. I don't know though, she seemed pretty nice after she snapped at me....but then again she does know my brother, bloody hell she was even friends with him. So she's questionable at this point and time.

Colin is pretty cool. He took time to talk to me, like I was someone and not just a pest or something. Well, he probably thought I was a pest, but at least he talked to me.

I'm going to take a walk I believe. I just have to be careful of people that might not be so nice....

Today I learned, um nothing that I didn't already know. My parents may hate me, but they did teach me a lot and it's far beyond what I am learning here. But I'll keep that to myself, and just go along with things.

Had spper with some other first years, and they prove to be interesting. I guess I'm just looking at them with the cynical eyes my parents look at everything. I really must stop doing that. I'm not going to make any friends that way.

Blaine wrote to me again. You know, bragging about all the damage he's doing, the lives he's ruining. (I don't know if he's taken a life yet, but I'm sure when he does, he'll write me again and brag about that.)

Okay, must go and do some homework.

So I feel that all I have been doing lately is homework. It's not that I don't enjoy it, because I do, I just would like to do something else besides homework. I think I've spent more time studying than I have making friends. I have my parents to thank for that.

I really must say that I should have been sorted into Ravenclaw, but EVER tell my parents that. I must carry on the honorable lineage that is Fitzpatrick, and that mean Slytherin. I'm sure there's Slytherin in me somewhere, as the sorting hat wouldn't have put me in Slytherin just because my parents and brother were, would it? That's something to think about I guess.
