I love astronomy

Even though it means we have to stay up so late.

Well, partly I love it because we get to stay up so late, but then I'm ever so tired next morning and I'm late for breakfast.

Linus says he'd rather play that ak thing but now hes all of a mind to practis chess alot and see if it makes him play the other one better. He called it an umpiracle test.

I'm not sure what that is but I think it means he'll see if chess improoves his life like Malfoy's dad's book says it will.

So I hope we're still doing the chess turney, yeah? Becuse we here in Ravenclaw are getting ready for it.

Everyone's still talking about Parkinson and her mum. I think that's one thing about these jornals that's not so good. I mean, if something happened to our mum and dad, or our brothers, I wouldn't want it all over school, I'd want it privat.

I think Professor Carrow's right and it's alot of bother about something really boring. I don't understand the other stuff he said tho

But anyway, Astronomy is wizard. We saw Mars and loads of constillations. Professor Sinistra sais its always been good vewing from Hogwarts, but now its even better becuse theres no Muggle lite pil polusion.

I wonder what light polution looked like? You know, in other parts of the world where there are still muggles, they are going to kill the earth because they use so much of something called resources. And also because they polute, not just with lights but with smoke, from all their machines.

I dunno I think it was like everything just looks all washed out and its never really ever dark (except inside with the lamps out). Which maybe would be good because Brocklehurst is afrade of the dark so it would stop her whinging, but then we wouldnt be abel to see so many stars.

And that's not right, that their doing that! Just beacuse they polute and pump nasty smoke and, um, whats that other stuff, yeah smog, that, into the air WE shouldn't have to lose the earth.

Why havent the wizards in other countrys taken over to stop the polution everywhere?

Wizards in other countrys don't have someone as clever and powerful as the Lord Protector to help them get the muggles under control.

I guess. And I supose as wonderful as the Lord Protector is, I wouldn't want him to take over other countrys, to. My grandmother told me that years ago the British Muggles were in charge of everything in India and it was horrible and thats why her parents came here.

Maybe if wizards were in charge it wouldnt be so bad, but it seems to me that one country ought to be enough for any body.
