Entry #4

Today in the library I was reading ahead in leafing through my Muggle Studies textbook and there was a section about Muggle medicine. It's pretty interesting how they cure diseases without potions and spells. Some of it's pretty gross though. I mean, really, whoever came up with the idea of "immunizations" must have been completely deranged. Injecting people with disease?! With NEEDLES?! I read about these pills people take which fix their brains so they feel happy even when maybe they really aren't. I'll have to read it again to really understand what it meant. But anyway, I couldn't help but think that maybe Umbridge has been taking them. It might explain the pink. If she's not taking them... maybe she ought to be?

How are you two doing? I wasn't there, of course because the very idea of the stands makes me feel ill, but it would be hard not to have heard about it. Horrible, nasty, evil woman. Do you need anything? Hugs? Chocolate? A sounding board for revenge plotting?
