Dear Diary,
I got snippy in class today. Spoke sarcastically and out of turn. This isn't like me, not typically. Not after all of this time. Just being outshined by every male classmate today. It felt so utterly noticeable, and I just couldn't stand it anymore. Which frustrates me all the more. I had to speak with the Slytherin Head of House as a result. I feel like an idiot.

Dear Diary,
I'm getting settled in my new career in the being division of the Ministry. While I am not thrilled that I cannot join the ranks of Unspeakable until I age into the role, this job isn't the worst. It gives me something to do every day and gives me space from Handsome. So far, I haven't been bothered much about marrying, though part of that is because Cupcake is unmarried, I'm sure.

Dear Diary,
Actively avoiding Handsome is tedious at best. While I don't feel bothered enough by the family to be on the active husband hunt, I still believe that a marriage of convenience would be more ideal than my current situation. What else are my possibilities? There will come a day when Handsome will marry and become even more insufferable. Especially with children. I do not want to bother as the spinster aunt that is constantly looked down upon and seen as a child. But I don't want a husband that will have the personal mission set to hold me back. What am I supposed to do with such options? It irks me that I need a husband to get away from Handsome, but I know that I will not be permitted to live on my own without loosing everything.

Dear Diary,
I will be in a competion for transfiguration tomorrow. It's the first since leaving Hogwarts. I've missed having more reasons to practice my skills. Overall, I am genuinely excited.

Dear Diary,
I recently joined The Society for the Transfiguration Arts. It's rather nice to have a space to practice and talk among peers. To learn more about the arts of transfiguration and explore the possibilities. Should I be accepted into the role of Unspeakable, I would quite enjoy going even further into this research. Though I would be unable to further discuss my research with these peers should it evolve into that. A sacrifice I am willing to make.

One particular fellow member has been of great assistance. Mrs. Patton has been happy to take me under her wing and I appreciate the consideration. She is an intelligent and kind woman, and it never feels as though she is looking down at me. I look forward to learning from her, even outside of the transfiguration field. No one else has made me actually want to participate in social functions like she has.
