I hope these journals have found their way to all of you safely as I simply couldn't wait any longer to distribute them even though I'll be returning home in the coming days. Besides, it only felt logical to begin the next set of journals as we leave Hogwarts behind and step into our lives as debutantes. So when I came across these while I've been away these past few weeks dealing with my COB and making appearance's at my grandfather's France estate I decided I had to pick them up. It was my turn this year anyways. I was promised of the books abilities to ward off unwanted voyeurs' eyes as the metals have been enchanted to bristle out into barbed spikes should the incorrect password be provided to them. The phrase will be required upon every attempted entry after the first penned message is made within your copy and should nothing be spoken the pages will remain blank. I will only be stating this password in this entry before blotting it out once all have you written back so I expect all of you to take the moment required to commit this to memory as I will not be repeating myself later on.


I figured a more secure collection this year might be beneficial as we begin diving into the madness of lavish events and potential courtship. I mean, the terms barely come to an end and I already can feel myself going mad from just my short stay at my grandfathers! I do hope the rest of you are fairing better. My mother has already informed me of more appearance's she requires me to be in attendance of the second we return to London, but the moment I'm able to escape we must all get together!
