Thursday 26th
September
Luckily Jed and Josie have been acting like nothing
happened since their little episode last Saturday. It did make me realise
though how much they bicker. It’s a good job that we aren’t in many lessons
together; otherwise I get scared sometimes that they might start arguing again.
Take yesterday for
example. After rushing from Potions to Herbology (Snape kept us talking too
long in Potions), Jed and I found our spot next to Josie. “Good,” I said as I
dropped myself down alongside her. “You’re already here.” I sometimes hate it
if Jed and I get to Herbology before Josie, because I’m scared that Josie won’t
choose to sit with us, worried that she’ll be intruding.
“Course she’s here,” Jed commented, as
he threw his backpack on the floor. “José’d never miss a class – would you Miss
Goody-Goody?” I know that Jed only meant it as a joke, but a remark like that
after their yelling match in the library made my heart leap up into my throat.
Wide eyed, I forced myself to swallow as I stared at Josie awaiting her
reaction. Sticking her tongue out at him, she shimmied herself around towards
me, trying to keep her back to Jed. Okay, so it wasn’t serious, but it could
have been.

I’m really looking forward to Astronomy class later
tonight. I’ve been keeping an eye on the sky every single night. It’s so
beautiful and therapeutic. My star chart is definitely the one piece of work
that I’m most pleased with so far. It almost looks like a work of art.
Every night I’ve been
plotting the positions of the stars on a piece of paper. Keeping to one piece
of paper per week, I mark the positions of the stars in different colours each
day. Monday is blue, Tuesday is green, Wednesday is red, Thursday is orange,
Friday is brown, Saturday is purple, and Sunday is black. By the end of the
week I end out with a cool looking blur of colour. It looks a little three
dimensional, because of the layering of the colours. It gives the chart a sort
of shadowy appearance. I realised afterwards that I probably should have used a
colour coordination pattern – I know that Josie has with hers, she’s shown me.
Hers looks like a rainbow, having used the colours in colour order. On my first
week I just alternated the colours willy-nilly, so now I’m stuck with this
uncoordinated, illogical blob of colours. I don’t mind it though. It does look
kind of pretty. I’ll draw a mini scale version of it on one of these really
cool Hogwarts napkins and stick it below.
