Apparently there was a troll running around the castle? Exactly how does that happen? I can't imagine that it would be easy for one to just sneak in. I would assume that someone would notice because they're fairly hard to miss. Clearly that wasn't the case though.
Well, it makes life more interesting. I'm almost sad that I missed it.
Private to Tierney
So are you still planning on having an after party for the ball?

It's that time of the year again. My mother has been sending me more owls than usual, telling me of the daughters of family friends, and how delighted they'd be to meet me- here 'meet' is used as a polite word for 'date' or 'possibly marry.' And she always mentions how accepting they are; 'accepting is her keyword for 'her family doesn't mind that I am the product of my mother's affair' or 'they understand how much our family could help theirs financially so they'll pretend not to mind.' And she reminds of that now that I am 18, I should be start looking into marriage and carrying on the Gauthier line. The latter is especially ridiculous because I don't have an ounce of Gauthier blood unless she'd like me to find a way to quite literally possess my father's.
I, being the wonderful son that I am, merely sent my dear maman a lovely little photograph of myself with this Ravenclaw boy. We politely kept our clothes on for the photograph, but one can easily tell the direction we were heading in.
The last letter was a week and a half ago. Impressive given that I usually receive updates twice a week.
I'm sure I will receive a few choice words from my father soon, but he's not really my father and never bothered to act like a proper one so I don't especially care what he has to say.
I'm glad that we're staying here for Christmas because I don't especially want to see my family. Of course, I rarely do, but now especially. I have yet to decide if I'm going to this yule ball that everyone keeps talking about. I may make an appearance though; I don't think I have anything better to do, and maybe it'll surprise me.

Solipsism: the theory that only one's mind is known to exist and that everything else is unjustified and cannot be proven to exist.
It's certainly an interesting theory. I'm not entirely convinced, but it's something to think about. Thoughts?
In other news, only 16 more days until the first task. I'm anxious to see what they come up with. I hope they're not going to give us a watered down tournament because of what happened at the earlier ones; there's no point to holding it if there isn't an real danger. I'm not going to lie: I still wish that I could be the one in said tasks, but intellectually I know that Gen is a far better and more deserving candidate. I'll just have to fill my danger fix elsewhere; I've heard that all sorts of horrifying things live in the Forbidden Forest.
