I read a horrid article in the Prophet today. Things outside of Hogwarts keep getting worse. I wonder what my brother thinks of all of it. I know why Bellatrix left so suddenly after her seventh year, and I know exactly what is going to be expected of Regulus, because it was expected of me, too. It just makes me uneasy that Reggie's so concerned with everyone but himself.

Aside from that, it's been getting harder and harder to sit through Transfiguration with him across the room. I'm sure Snivellus feels like he's made some fantastic point and that we'll all just let him alone from now on. He never did see things very properly. Reckon it has everything to do with the git's head being so far up his arse.

Speaking of arses, James seems to be making more of an effort. In his own ways.

It just really gets me that we can't do anything without causing even more problems for Remus. We can't even go to Dumbledore -- he's risking enough as it is. If I didn't know better, I'd drag Snivelly out by his greasy hair, then hex him until he couldn't see straight anymore.

I know I've been going on about it, but there's got to be something we can get on Snape. We just have to think.

And Prongs,

If you aren't too busy chastising the Quidditch team, Moony had a good idea a while back that you might want to give a second thought to. The rest of us were thinking about it, and we've come up with a few interesting ideas. Even Wormtail!
