May 27

Today was such a boring day. I taught my first History of Magic lesson, I swear my class is inhabitted primarily by dunderheads. Two students, these odd twins, turned up halfway through my lesson. Of course I assigned them detention. I was going to give out points for correct answers but these three talking girls irritated me and I promptly changed my mind. Only three people volunteered answers too, Miss. Lilly, Miss. Emery, and Robyn Singe, but she was late. The rest of my class just sat there, looking bored and copying down everything I said.

I now have to make a lesson plan for my next class, on Thursday. I think I will speak about the Voldemort years, after all it was six years this month that he was vanquished. That should take up several lessons actually...

Yesterday I met Professor Rasmuse in the Staff room. I came upon her twice, once arguing with the Transfiguration Professor, Lycs Anima, and another time drinking tea. As of now I do not like her, she seems vapid, giggly, too...nice. Many students call her by her first name, I shudder to think at what her classes must be like. I have also heard she was dancing quite inappropriatley with another student. She is obviously NOT a Pure-blood with such behavior.

I also met Sean at the dance, where he was speaking to (her). She looked dissapointed to see me, oh well, compared to me I believe she looked quite dowdy. Honestly, the way she was dressed, one would think she was...poor. Honestly, doesn't the woman get a salary? Sean and I danced a bit, but his knee was bothering him so we sat afterwards and ate a little. I feel sorry for him, all of the money he made playing Quidditch is going down the drain, his ex keeps owling him for money constantly-pay this, pay that. I loath Tilly Oliveri.

Ah, well I must retire for the night now. I will update again soon.

Dear Diary,

I recieved my mark two nights ago. Mother and father were thrilled, of course. I'm not completley sure how I feel, in one instance I feel as though I am doing what is expected of me by the pure-blood society, in another I wish I could just do something that made me happy for once.

I remember the last time I was truly happy, the last time I laughed, not forced or fake, but honestly. It was when I was seven and Father bought me the puppy I had always wanted.

Father and mother are expecting a child, a son, the son I never was, and an heir to their name. He is to be named something long and important sounding and mother is already asking when I will get married and begin to pass on my blood to a future generation.

I'm now working for the Auror department as well as being a professor. It takes up a lot of my time, but it's good for the NDE casue.

I met several new people this week. Roxane Stalhand a professor, Alison Rowe a fellow DE who is vicious and shares some things in common with me, and Jeraud Cynster, the Medi-Wizard.

For some reason he stays stuck in my mind. He was so kind, I have't met a truly nice person that didn't aggrivate me in a while.

I guess I'll write more soon.

Until then,

Dear Diary,

My parents are begining to irritate , me with their requests that I begin a family. Everytime they bring that up I remember that horrible incident with Yanic and the events that followed.

I found out last year that the chance of me ever being pregnant was thirty percent. With odds like that it might take years of trying for me to concieve, if I did at all.

Besides, I already had a baby. A girl which was to be mine and Yanic's. Kaylyn. I was eight months when I lost her and the memory is still to fresh in my mind, as I imagine it will always be.

Jeraud Cynster dug them up again yesterday when he aske me if I was pregnant. For a second I was reliving that day.

I was in Knockturn Alley today, purchasing several things I needed with Alison. I think in time she can become a type of friend, although she is a lot more vicious than I am.

Or maybe not. Maybe I'm just as bad, being a DE, planning murders...

Dear Diary,

I visited Allison today, at her estate. She has a nice, respectable house, and I liked her panther, Isis.

Jeraud Cynster + Hospital Wing + Me = BIG MISTAKE. I can't even begin to recount what happened now...

Yanic called today, asking for some money. He is poor now that his family disowned him. I sent him an envelope full of bobtuber pus. Of course, he didn't forget to let me know his lack of wealth is my fault for loosing my baby and not providing him with an heir...

...One of these days I'm going to kill him.


Well I'll write more later.

Aria Artemis Casanov

Lots of things have happened reccently. I visited Yanic in France, where I proceeded to slit his throat. I also acquired several new poisons, two snakes, a Boa named Slither and a Python named Monty.

Allison and I tortured Gwen Ravin, but we were interrupted by Trey and Daniel, both traitors to our cause. They will get theirs soon enough, Allison and I have a plan for them.

I also tortured a mud-blood student I found by the lake, set his arms on fire, crucio'ed him. Unfortunatley for me, another student came by and saved him.

Then I met a man named Quinn, one that I think will be useful in helping me acquire a dragon. I've wanted one for quite awhile.

My last class was better than the disater one. After that I went away to my house for a weekend of relaxation, where I was visited by Daniel Blackspine.

More soon

I took a stroll through the Forbidden Forest, to see if the Death Eaters recruiting in there was true. Well I do not know that yet, but I certaintly recruited someone to work with me. A Slytherin student. No names mentioned here.

Allison and I are planning a big suprise for several people. No more details. I have also opened my store in Diagon Alley. People keep approaching me to 'talk'. I believe them to be members of the 'Dark Wizard Hunting' group, whatever their proper name is.

Classes are goin fine, yet growing smaller due to the sheer amount of imbeciles in this school who I seemed to have frightened off. Less grading for me.

I have decided to try an recruit my own small group of students, to help with my Death Eater Activities.

I have a Chinese Fireball now, named Lantern, along with a bottle of Vipertooth Venom. Only cost 50,000 Galleons. I also have a new employee, Quinn something-or-other, his last name escapes me, who better turn out to be a faithful employee for what I'm paying him, 20 galleons and hour and bonuses for every animal he sells, as well as expenses to find said animal.

If he turns out to be a traitor he's a dead man.

More soon.
