Dear Diary,

Today I did some very stupid things, that turned out very well for me. It was early morning, no one was up yet, so I decided to slide down the banisters on my way to breakfast. It was a complete blast up until the very end when I slipped on a patch of snow. Everything in my bag went flying. Even before anyone arrived, I was blushing furiously. Curse pale skin.

I was gathering my things when someone held out a book for me. It was a seventh year guy named Alec Reese. The rest is sort of a blur, but we had breakfast together until the hall started to fill up. Then we went for a walk and he asked me to the Valentine's Dance! It's a masquerade, and there's one for the younger students and one for the older students. I'm in the younger category, but since Alec invited me, I get to go to the other ball! This will be the best night of my life. Alec might be the most perfect person ever. I better stop writing about him, I sound stupid.

There is one disturbing thing recently. I was having a snowball fight with Zelphar when I had one of my visions. This one was bad, real bad. Some girl was on a couch or something, being forced down. The air was hot and seemed to be pushing her down too. And she was screaming, and in pain. It was so confusing. I retched after the visions, right in front of Zelphar, who was smart enough to pretend not to notice. He's so nice to me. I had a headache for five hours afterword, that must be a new record. Screw new records, sometimes I wish I had never been a Seer.

Oh well, for the most part life's good. There's been a lot of homework, but exams are still ages away. It's only February after all. Lots of time for fun. I can't wait for the dance!

February 14th/15th

Deary Diary,

Tonight has clearly been the best night of my life so far. It is-well more accurately was-Valentine's Day and I just made it back from the dance with Alec. It's 12:23 right now, if my watch is still right. The dance was a masquerade, but I met both Alec and Zelphar outside in the entrance hall. Zelphar was acting a little bit weird, but whatever. It's Zelphar, I won't worry too much.

Alec and I must've danced for hours. Before I knew it, the time was 11 o'clock and we were drinking punch at one of the tables. (Zelphar had disappeared, maybe he didn't feel good?) Then when a slow song came on, we danced some more. Next, he kissed me. Right there, no hesitations. It was so perfect, neither one of us seemed to be able to pull away. He invited me to go out to dinner this weekend. Alec is sooo sweet! I don't know what else to say, but I think I've fallen in love with him.

Oops, that would be the prefects coming into the common room. Better act like I'm asleep. I'll write soon!
