AMALIA'S SUPER SECRET THOUGHTS ON CLASSROOM NERDS
~For AMALIAN eyes ONLY!!! Super-jinxed with thirteen-thousand curses that will entrap your soul the moment you touch this page without being AMALIA!~
Alric Yaxley [5/10]
HE'S OKAY! I don't know!! I mostly see him sneakin around school grounds. He's always somewhere round the greenhouses. At least he has the senses to skip all these boring classes, but he seems to like the most boring one the mostest. Or he has some kind of lucrative career goin on with all those bottles he keeps bringin with him. Don' think I have ever talked with him. Mysterious!!
Arthur Abbott [3/10]
he's a STUCK UP SOD! Looks ugly n such too. I don't like his hair, it's so boring. I tried sayin hello to him an we got on fine, but he asked about my last name for some reason an looked at me funny when I said I was an Oceanborough. Does he know ma or pa?? Probly not.
I hope he starts going to classes more often. I want to explore all the nooks and crannies he keeps findin. It's very annoying, learning about someplace new and seeing his footprints all over it.
Carl Heron [7/10]
BORING. I can't prank him to save my life, he keeps thinking I'm doing it out of affection. I am NOT. It is to try and get a rouse out of him because he is very boring and a little annoying. He has his head on straight about potions, but he loops back round to being confusing because he likes smithing. He likes smacking things with hammers and watching them bend. Like how apes smack things with rocks.
I don't think he is violent enough to be an ape. He is way too placid. Too Hufflepuffy.
Ciaran Whitehorn [9/10]
Ciaran is VERY cool!! He has an awesome broom. He keeps whizzing around on that thing and teasing me with how fast it is. I want to race him sometime, but I can't let him know about being an animagus! I don't think he could keep the secret. Most people don't. Maybe if I got to talk to him a bit more often I could confirm for sure, but for now... well, I have to assume!
It's especially cool that he can do all this while missing an eye. If I was missin an eye I'd probably end up just bumping into walls all the time...
He's made me seriously consider taking up Quidditch, even though my broom has been gathering dust for ages. I guess I could deal with having a rod up my crotch if it meant getting to zip around at mach speed. Maybe I'll apply for the team next time they switch the roster up...
Frank Lee [5/10]
I feel a bit bad for Frank, but I can't feel too bad because he keeps rivaling me in Transfiguration. It's annoying, but I have to respect his talent. It's like, half the time, when I bother to attend, it's neck and neck between him and me for the top spot. It brings some energy to the classes, but I just want to win! I don't want to have this tension when I'm clearly the better party here!
...well, I say that. I'm not so sure I am. He's really good. And I don't think he's good at much else, while I still have Charms and maybe the flashy combat stuff to keep me up. He can't even do that. Hmm...
Lennox Gaunt [4/10]
Lennox! Lennox. I don't really talk to him face-to-face very often! I guess because he's a Slytherin. But we talk a bunch long-distance, kind of. His snakes like me 'n Salt. Salt doesn't like them, of course, but Salt doesn't like anything. Except sleeping in peace and quiet. He loves that.
I'm glad he can talk to snakes. I was feelin a bit lonely without that. Him and Merlin have helped me feel a lot more at ease here, even if this place is still stupid and restrictive and not very fun. When not even dad said he could talk to snakes, it really made me feel like there was just something wrong with me. It would have been an awesome thing wrong with me, of course, if it really was something wrong. But I'm glad it's not.
...horrible.
Merlin English [2/10]
MERLIN!!! He's great! He's awesome! I don't think I've gone more than a week or two without him while at Hogwarts. He's a bundle of fun and always has great ideas for what to do around the school. It sucks that he seems to care about the classes a decent amount, those take up a lot of his time. Whenever he's around, though, everything's a blast!! I wish more people were cool like him.
Creepy girl! I feel a little bad for her, I know how it feels to be weird without friends. but she deserves it, probably, because she keeps nickin things off of others. She yanks my hair a lot and wouldn't stop askin why it had suddenly turned red overnight. Even in front of huge big crowds that now sometimes ask me too. I don't feel like explaining it to her, but she's trying my patience and i might end up doing it when I get back from the winter holidays. Only in simple terms, though!! I'll tell her I dyed it. She doesn't need to know about why or how it's red.
She shifts round a lot. I don't see her much. I see her hair, though! I know what that is! I think! I need to find some way to track her down and figure out if I'm just bleedin nuts or not. I swear she's got the same thing as me. It'd be so cool if she did...
She looks fun, but she gets all scared when I try to be fun. I don't get her. Also, how is she that rich and not able to get better glasses? I can't see her eyes half the time, it's like they're permanently fogged up. It makes her look a little scary. Like that thing that wolves do in the night, where you shine a light in their eyes and they go all white. She's like that, but way too often to be comfortable.
Oliver Ollivander [5/10]
I think Oliver is cool, but he keeps throwing off my plans!! Half the time when I look up what some Hufflepuff prank would involve in the illusieve, he's the one bustin it. Some kind of tricky mind powers, I reckon, knowin magic. It's a little eerie. I like his style, though! His outfits are very cool, and when I can hear his music it doesn't sound too bad. Maybe if he was in Gryffindor we could have been better friends, but as-is I don't see him much. At least he seems nice.
Makes me feel all bad around her. Like if I touch her while I'm too wet she'll just crumple. She doesn't talk much, either, and I don't really know what to say... I think the one time she tried askin me somethin it was about Zach.
BIG! She's really big. I'm glad I can jus slip out of her fingers now if I want to. If we're alone and nobody else is anywhere near us on school grounds. Or we're not on school grounds. I didn't appreciate her tossin me around when we were smaller, though! At least she apologized. She seems friendly otherwise...
Tibbits [0/10 EWW!!]
Thank God I don't have to room with this creep! How is he allowed in the school?? He should be out helpin Firethorn with the magical creatures, not wasting his life doin our classes. Always looks so bitter when I see him, too, like he knows just as well as I that he shouldn't be here. Gross!
Tony Ricketts [6/10]
Can suck a fat one!! He always seem so surly and upset at the world, it's gross. Rubs off on me. Didn't do nothing to him and still get caught in the crossfire sometimes. He's got this malignant aura that I can't shake and really don't want to get involved in. Beyond messin with him, anyways. He's kind of easy to tick off so if I'm feeling bored and mean I pick on him a bit. not often though, otherwise he makes me feel bad about it
Thomas P. Hippos [3/10]
I really like him. He's sweet. I feel bad for him, too. I think he told me how he got that name, once, and it hit me hard. I wish he was a Gryffindor so we could go runnin around messin bullies up together. He deserves somethin like that! Just a big long bully revenge session.
I wonder if he actually is a hippo. Like how I'm a crow. I don't think I've ever seen a hippo up-close, so it couuld be cool. Dad always told me to stay away from em at the zoo...
Really preppy, I don't know. I don't think I've ever seen her leave the school without her big flyin car, and even that's pretty rare. The car is cool, but I don't know if I've ever seen someone sat in it? I wonder what she does all day. She looks very rich and very dignified so maybe she gossips a lot. Isn't that what older girls do?
COOL, maybe? Her SWORD is VERY VERY cool. I need to find out how to get my own!! I need to ask her about one!! I need to do something to get my own!!!!! But she won't tell me how she made it... keeps winkin at me and callin it secret. IT'S INFURIATING. I'm thinkin she got it from some magic sword shop in Japan, so when I grow up I'm gonna fly to Japan to make sure. And if I'm right, I'm going to buy my own one. I will take out a loan if I need to.
I don't think I've ever managed to prank her! It's annoyin. But she teaches sort of interestin stuff, and it wasn't for her I wouldn't be any kind of animagus. I have to begrudgingly admit my respect for her. But I will have her, some day. Probably outside of class. When she isn't actively turnin people to stone for doin that sort of thing and getting away with it.
...she doesn't actually turn people to stone but it sure feels like she does sometimes. You should see the faces of students who make fun of her riddles, they look like they're about to die!
He's cool! I wish he made more sense. More of the stuffy teachers should be like him, not afraid to teach classes in their pajamas. Plus, he likes the weird hats that Merlin wears, and that is a very correct opinion to have on headwear. He earns my wholehearted respect and may he lead the school forevermore!
Big and scary. I think if he saw me as a crow he could accidentally kill me and wouldn't even notice. He's not easy to prank, either. The one time I tried, he just gave me this cold stare that really freaked me out. I try to avoid him, even if he looks nice.
Looks like pa's dad. Acts about as tired. Maybe he is pa's dad? That would explain how we'd be magic! ...but, no, we'd have to have known him before getting here, so that can't be the case. He's alright, I think, and shooting big magic missiles of pretty colors is a good class to be teaching.
He's so easy to rile up though. With pranks, anyways. Too easy a target. one of my go-tos...
I think he's the only teacher that can get me to behave with just a look. I feel nervous just writing about him here, even though nobody else is supposed to see this. It's a page of a lady's journal, for god's sake, if someone took a peek in here they'd be arrested. But he used to work for a big government as an important guy with a lot of information and I feel like, even if he doesn't actually know what I have written in here, he knows that I have this written at all. Part of the reason I even show up to Charms so often is just so that he doesn't focus on me much. Creeps me out when he just jogs around like he's a normal guy. At least his subject is kind of interesting... if I didn't learn Locomotor from him, I'd never be able to properly multitask. Lord knows how I did without it!
THE ONLY GOOD TEACHER. He teaches the best subject in the best way at the best times with the best ideas. He's like a replacement dad, if dad knew magic and was way stricter, except he also has DRAGONS and HIPPOGRIFFS and DOESN'T THINK ANIMALS ARE LAME. I show up to his classes because they're FUN and not a boring slog where you sit in one place and wave your wand sometimes!! TAKE NOTES, other Hogwarts teachers, that's what classes should be like! Feeding Erumpents carrots and hugging Hippogriffs!!
I get what he's saying! He's a prophet! He's not supposed to make sense. And he makes more sense than most! Divination is cool, kind of fun. I think. I mostly watch it through the windows from time to time, I don't do much serious studyin. Maybe I should change that!
He's like if McCreedy was even bigger and scarier, I don't like him. Hate the cat, too. Really just want to get away from him. At least the plants stuff is kind of relevant since there are some creatures that like feedin on mandrakes and whatnot. If I didn't eavesdrop on his lectures from time to time, I suppose I wouldn't be an animagus. I guess I can thank him for that? Thank you, mister Gaunt.
Are you Amalia? Then congratulations, you have reached the current end of this list safely and without harm! Are you NOT Amalia...? Then BEGONE!
