Busy little bee

Oh my! Where has this term gone? I can't believe I haven't sat down and wrote since February! It has been so busy, I guess I completely forgot about it. I have been very busy in my classes. Final exams are coming up, and the professors have made sure we've had plenty of work to do to study for them. We've had many extra spells to practice for Charms. Many of the Ravenclaw First years have taken to sitting in the common room in the evenings and practicing on each other, under the watchful eye of the upper classman of course. My favorite is the charm to induce euphoria. Its a great one to do at the end of a study session, because you leave feeling very confident and happy.
I've improved quite a bit in Potions. I've learned to read the directions carefully, and take my time. I make very few errors now, and even Professor Slughorn has remarked on my improvement.
Gabrielle and I have still been writing. She has been getting busy preparing for end of term tests at Beauxbatons also. She is looking forward to getting home and working in the garden with her mother. She wants to plant some new roses this year, pink ones, since they already have lots of red ones in the garden.
We didn't win the Quidditch cup. We won our games against Slytherin and Hufflepuff, but lost to Gryffindor. Gryffindor won the Cup overall, having won all their games. Hopefully next year we can win!
Alright, its getting late and I want to go read another chapter of History of Magic before I go to bed. Hopefully I will find a few minutes to update before I'm home from school.
