The first Hogsmeade weekend is coming up! It will be nice to finally get a break from the castle. It is always so quiet on Hogsmeade weekends if you don’t go. But this time there is going to be the first Harvest Festival! It’s all anyone has been talking about. There will even be a Pumpkin Regatta on the Black Lake!
I was going to ask Sloane if she would be my partner for the regatta but she already had partnered with Maddy, so when Calla asked I was happy to do so. I admit it surprised me that Sloane and Maddy were going to partner. I had almost expected that Calla might partner with Sloane, after all they were friends before they met me at Hogwarts. But instead she went with Maddy. I suppose I shouldn’t be upset by this, we’re all friends, but I just thought that Sloane and I were closer than Maddy and her. Maybe it’s all the time they spend together at quidditch.
I am probably overthinking it, but I feel like with all my other friends in quidditch, that I am missing out on things. Perhaps one day they will wake up and realize they have nothing in common with me. I don’t like getting my hands dirty and flying isn’t exactly my thing, sure it is fun, but I’ve never wanted to play quidditch (not that mother and father would let me anyway). I am probably just being overly sensitive, Matthew always says I am, maybe he is right for once. I suppose I am being childish.
At least I have Calla to work on the pumpkin with! That is better than simply watching the event take place. I should hate that very much.
