Might have screwed up a friendship.  Cannot afford to lose her.  Cannot.  Will not.

Might have made a new friend.  He seems sweet, charming in a way that he isn't aware of.  I miss Merry so much; perhaps we could help each other?

Might have found a source of tension relief.  Thank Merlin.  The crankiness was getting out of control.

Dark Mark appeared in the sky over Hogsmeade last night. I completely lost composure.  Mortifying to cry in front of people.  
Up side:  I have another date tonight.  

Also, exercised this morning so will be having dessert tonight.
