What a clutz!

I couldn't post last night because I was so busy cleaning up after myself. I dropped my whole potions kit next to my bed. I can't believe some of the stuff that came out of that mess. I now have a very strange pet canary. I don't think anyone else can see her. She seems to be pretty nice though. And she seems to be fading with time.

I had to use an adaptation of the anti-intruder jinx on the door so I could clean up my mess before anyone saw what I did. I fixed the burnt spots on the floor and got all of the ingredients back in their respective bottles and bags. What a mess though. I don't think that room will ever smell the same. Mind you, now it smells like burnt cookies, so it could be worse.

And a note to my lovely prefect, I am checking in with the hsks4 blog basically every day. Most often more than that. It is just too exciting.

I'm here!

Phew! I am all settled into my room with the other Ravenclaw first years. I have some interesting tidbits about myself I thought I would share here.
My patronus - a badger. Which is really strange since I got sorted into Ravenclaw.

Family - My mother is Celestina De Mimsy Porpington and my father is Sir Nicholas Ackerley.
My brother, is the infamous Xantian The Insane. He really isn't as awful as everyone says he is. The chicken incident was truly a misinterpreted accident. It's head was like that to begin with.

Anyways. I better finish unpacking. I am looking forward to my class with Miss Mandy Finch-Fletchley about Enchanted Kit Planning so I can do better in the Hogwarts Sock Kit Swap 4.
