10:46 pm - Merry Christmas!

Hello, friends,

I would like to wish you a very happy Christmas and New Year!!!!!!

I haven't been around for a long time, because boys said they didn't know how to make the computie work. They found it funny though. But it's not funny. It's so nice and interesting! Well, now it works and I'm happy. We had a lot of things happening these days, you know. Voldemort is back. Oh yes, Voldemort. Harry taught us to say his name, because a thing should be called by its natural name. There are a lot of troubles because of it now, you know, like students fighting in dungeons and their parents dying. We often have owls with black envelopes in the morning. It's rather horrible, you know. But it unites us somehow. Some lose their relatives and then their enemies come and apologise for being mean. And their friends become so much closer to them then before. And actually I am now a little famous. There were several girls calling me, asking for advice. They lost their mothers or mothers and dads at once. They acted very friendly towards me and now they smile and say hello every time we come across each other.
Another thing: there is a nasty gang of Slytherins now. They support Voldemort and call themselves 'White Serpents'. They paint special marks on their arms and attack students that have muggle relatives. It is especially nasty when these students have their muggle relative killed, because in this case slytherins make a celebration of it. I hate it so much! But as long as we have Harry, it's okay. Harry took the situation under control. He collected all of us together again, and although we are not Dumbledore's Army any more, we have important things to do like fighting with slytherins and uniting the school and learning new spells.... It's hard for me to be always around as I will have to take OWLs, but Harry helps, because he has already passed them. I also asked Hermione to help with Runes, but she doesn't seem very friendly since Harry likes to spend time with me, and she thinks I may spoil him. Well, she's just so narrow-minded, you know. I feel only pity towards her.

Now it is Christmas Eve and for the first time I see so many students stay at Hogwarts for Christmas holidays. Very few left for home. I'm pleased. We'll have a really big Christmas celebration!

Merry Happy Christmas again!!!!!

12:17 am - Bladdphlegm Buzzy and some news

Bladdphlegm Buzzy was awesome! I caught it in a jar, closed with a lid and got into my room. It was singing some nice sea melodies in a magical and high-pitched voice, so much like hippocampus :) But after some time I decided to feed it with a laminaria salad, and as I opened the jar, it jumped into the air, splashing water over me, and slided out into the corrdior, like a soap ball. When I ran after it and tried to touch, it turned to be even more slippery than before and sneaked out from my hands, flying up to the staircase and then rolling down - right into the bathroom. Well, it decided to hide there. I didn't have to seek for it though, I just conjured up an Aquarius Curse to fill the bath with water, and Buzzy slided from a lavatorial locker into it. I fed Buzzy with a salad and left it for a while to call on daddy in dinner-time (he was going to spend the whole day at the river, so I brought him some hamburgers and pineapple juice). When I came back, the water in the bath turned into foam, and Buzzy was gone. I searched the whole house and the premises, but i couldn't find it anywhere! I had been looking for it, until it got dark. Daddy came home with some interesting fish and put them all into a miniature lake in the garden. I prepaired dinner for him, and then we went to bed. But actually I couldn't sleep, because I was thinking about where Buzzy had been. I opened the window and sat next to it, looking outside, hoping to hear its song or see it rolling among the bushes. It was only then I fell into a light sleep, when I heard something clanging in the kitchen. I took a jar and went down the stairs. In the kitchen there was a broken plate lying on the floor and an empty box of peanuts. Buzzy itself was hiding in a saucepan in an old wooden sideboard. It became so weak without water, that it was singing softly and dolefully, and I just took the saucepan and turned in over, letting it slip into the jar. Then I took the jar and a wand and went outside the house, right to the river. It was very dark and mystical everywhere, but I was holding a wand with a Lumos light in the right hand, and holding a jar with peacfully singing Buzzy in the other. I came to the river and returned Buzzy to its waters again. I think it will be much more happy there. And before I went back home, something nice happened to the river. As Buzzy came back, it started singing, and many little luminous fishes joined him. The water became full of shining spots, blue, yellow and green. It was really wonderful. I sat on the bank and watched the river until it the sky got growing lighter. I thought it was finally time for some sleep and the end of my meeting with Bladdphlegm Buzzy, so I said good-bye to the surface and left.

And the fading night is just magical! So sleepy and fresh! I wish you were there.

I'm going to write 3 essays: two about Runes, and one about a famous arithmetician, Closetus Countemus. Then I'll probably have time for telling you about my and daddy's journey to Sweden to catch a Crumple-Horned Snorkack. Oh, by the way things are no better in our world now. You-Know-Who has got into a house of some family and killed them all. He left a mark above it. Daddy says this is his first attack in 16 years. People are very scared, and Fudge forced to flee. I like the last fact though...

Daddy must finally think about some protection of our house. I wouldn't like to meet You-know-Who even despite the fact that I've learnt plenty of defensive spells this year!

See you :)

Tape. A film. A very interesting muggle invention indeed. It's very real, and at the same time it gives you much more experience than a reality can! We have only theaters... So, I met Maggie again, and she gave me some films. But when i returned home, I found out I didn't have a talevision. The weather was quite hot, and the Sun was burning, but I left films at home and went to the family Weasley's house, the Burrow. Actually, I was afraid I woudn't find anyone there, because mrs Diggory said they were gone. But as I aprroached the gates, I saw one young Weasley boy locking the door of the house. Soon I recognised him: it was Persy. He looked worried, but I didn't want much. I called him and asked him to give me a talevision. I don't think he was pleased by seeing me, because he was hiding his eyes from me and tried to leave, not speaking of his slight rudeness... Anyway he led me into the garden (it was so wonderful and messed up!) and opened mr Weasley's garage. Persy didn't let me in, and he entered it with an annoying look as if he didn't like that garage and his father's hobby altogether. And when he was inside, he did a lot of mess and swore a bit. But after some time he went out with a square dusty thing in his hands, a talevision. Talevision was very interesting. It was small and old, with convex glass, resembling a dark grey eye, and round shabby buttons. It also had two long antennas, looking much like beetle's antennae, but one of them was broken, and there was a cobweb between. I thanked Persy and wished him a nice day.

Films were just captivating! The first one was about some muggle teenager who travelled into the past in a time-car and met his parents, who were of the same age. It was a very funny and kind movie, and it did a very deep impression on me :) The second film was about people seeing some round flying ships, which stole their friends and children... It was called 'Close Encounters of the third kind'... It was a very unusual film, and sometimes I couldn't understand what was happening. The third film was very very old. It was black and white, and it was about love. It was 'With the wind gone'. Apart from other films it was very natural and dramatic. I cried in the end a bit, actually. And the fourth movie made me really wonder! I never knew that muggles would make a copy of our world and our school and our students in such good way! And it was very unusual to see this copy... This imitation, you know! Oh, and that muggle boy playing Ronald was very funny. He didn't look like Ronald but was very sweet himself, and his behaviour was very alike :)

Going to do fishing tomorrow with daddy. I'll try to catch Bladdphlegm Buzzy. It's a kind of magical fish which is round like a ball and slippery as a piece of soap. It can make musicial sounds and clear water, though after some time the water can turn into foam. I've read about it in the Hogwarts library. There're a lot of interesting books, by the way. What a pity that most of the books I read have not been read by anybody in 50 years at least...

Good day, everyone :)

07:34 pm - About book 5!

Yesterday I went with Daddy to work to find Maggie Rummag. She is one of  the journalists, working for 'The Quibbler'. She writes articles about muggle life and politics, and she's my friend. She lives among muggles and have a good relationship with mr and mrs Honysmut and miss Kupp. I asked Maggie if she could get me one of that books by Jane Bowling, and in the evening she called on mrs Honysmut through the Floo. They gave me 'Order of the Foenix', because this is the latest book. It was so thick! I thought I'd read it a bit to find out what Jane Bowling writes about our community, you know, but I just couldn't put it off. I read it all day in the garden. It was highly interesting. I don't know if this is true, but all events she said about really happened. I mean Dumbledore's Army and professor Trewlany's sacking... Many things! And I did not know that our headmuster made such Order. He is really great! But I knew that Sirius Black was innocent, though I never had a clue about a true story... I'll tell daddy about it. And it was curious to read about Harry Potter and his friends. Well, I always liked Gryffindors, they are so brave and they have a good sense of humor, especially Ronald. And I didn't know that he suffered so much because of that 'Weasley is our king' song. Poor Ronald!   

It was very interesting to read what happened in the Department of Mysteries. I remember it all happened just this way, you know. And I finally found out what happened after one of the Death Eaters knocked me down. What a pity he did - I'd help Ronald to get off that Aquavirius Maggot. You need to use Paralyzing charm, because Aquavirius Maggot is strong only with its muscles and beak. The event in the room with veil was very sad. After I read the book, I returned to my room and cried untill I fell asleep. And I remembered the time when mummy died. When she died, I felt very lonely and 'marked' too. I still feel sad about it sometimes. I think that Harry will go through it too. I think I'll help him then!</span>

Jane Bowling's job is pretty well done. Maggie said to me that she's been writing the book about what is going to happen next. I hope she'll describe the mass break-out of Death Eaters from Azkaban and dementors joining You-Know-Who. It was rather horrible, because now everybody is scared. Daddy said they want to appoint a new minister of magic. I think it's a good idea. </span>

Good day, everyone :)

Hello, I am Luna Lovegood. This is my live journal, which I will use for keeping interesting memories. I see that here in muggleweb writing diaries is another expericence, because you have more options and also your diaries can be read by other people. I think it is a very nice idea.

Muggleweb is so funny! I have never thought that muggles could invent such an unusual device of communication. Our Muggle Studies teacher professor Simpy never told us either about computies or about muggleweb. I found out about them only because a friend of Daddy, who writes articles about muggle life, presented me a computie as a birthday present. I will write an essay about computie and muggeweb. Professor Simpy will be pleased!

I also found out another funny thing while looking through muggleweb. You know, I had already been informed about some squib Jane Bowling writing books about our world, but I really couldn't imagine this going so far... And I also found some people who like me. They even made pictures of me, but I didn't like these pictures, actually. It seems like they consider me as unpretty or "Loony". But  you know, Grand Pre and Marta painted me almost perfectly. If only they made my eyes a bit larger... I do like my eyes and I don't think that large eyes are ugly. And not to forget: they write many stories about me and Harry, Ronald or someone else falling in love with me. Well,  I am rather confused, I would never imagine such things... I don't mind stories about myself and Ronald, though...

I guess I'll go to the kitchen and make myself a glass of onion coctail. I really missed onion cocktail while travelling in Sweden to find the Crumple-Horned Snorkack. Have a nice day, everyone :)
