Once there was a baby snake named Crucio, who was no bigger than a blackberry.

She grew into a a wonderful adolescent snake. Who always obeyed her mamma and could sometimes be fresh and stick her tongue out at people.

She could be trusted even with the pigmy puffs and was usually very docile, unless she was out on official Slytherin business.

She enjoyed trips to the lakes and was at her happiest among the trees and wildlife. Just look at her smile!

Than one day a few weeks ago Crucio went into hiding and the Slytherin's couldn't find her anywhere. I looked for her in all the usual spots. In Quinn's bed, in the dungeons, even snuck into the Ravenclaw Common Room (sometimes she likes to pay Wisty a visit).

Alas I couldn't find her anywhere. I decided to take a walk in the Forbidden Forest and there she was! I was upset with her and she knew it. She said to me "I'm sorry, but I didn't know how to tell you". I asked her what she had done. She unwound herself from the tight little ball she was in by the tree to reveal this....

My Crucio was gonna be a mamma! Apparently she had met a dashing snake while on one of her hunts for Sirius Dolohov and fell head of tail in reptilian love. As she slithered toward me movement from the nest caught my eye!

"Here they come!", Crucio squealed. She was absolutely right!!

Slytherin Dungeon is now the proud home of seven of the most beautiful baby snakes you have ever seen. Enjoy them while they are this small. Crucio tell's me their daddy is a basilisk!

What have I been up to

Thats right ladies and gents after a brief mission assigned by the Headmistress (top secret, with a don't ask dont tell policy) I am back at Hoggy Warty Hogwarts and back with Slytherin. Apparently, we've had a bit of a shake up and the former puffball, known as Lav. A, has come to Slytherin as Head Girl, Quinn. Not sure how I'm feeling about this. You know how the puffballs can be, so nice and sweet and caring and hard working :;shudder::. On the bright side I have been made Prefect so I'll be able to keep an eye on her. I think the Slytherin initiation must be done as well as a month long cycle of good habit breaking.

That should do it.

If not, I'll find other means to de-puff-ify her

I'm Back!

Sorry for my little absence guys but Grandfather whisked me off on an adventure of a lifetime. I don't know if I told you about my other sports love, other than Quidditch, but its Muggle Baseball and not just any ole' team will do. I have found myself in love with the Boston Red Sox and this year they were tapped to open the 2008 MLB season in Japan! There were ceremonies and mini camps for the children of Japan and other cultural goings on. They had exhibition games again the Yomiuri Giants, which have been described as the NY Yankees of Japan (poor things to have such a distinction!) and the Red Sox defeated them and then they opened up the season against the Oakland A's on Tuesday at 6:00am, local time. I say 6:00am because Grandfather didn't take me to Japan, he took me to the heart of Red Sox Nation, Boston, MA U.S.A!! Anyone who knows anything about the Red Sox and Red Sox Nation knows that everyone was awake and ready for baseball. The Pubs and Bars opened extrememly early and served breakfast instead of mead. Fenway Park, was opened up and you could watch the game there and many people did. On Tuesday the Red Sox came from behind in glorious fashion and won the game 6-5, they didnt fair to well yesterday morning however, they lost to the Oakland A's 5-1. The Red Sox and A's are on their way back to America to resume their 4 game serieson April 1-2, and I have returned to Hogwarts before our end of year feast! I need some sleep now after I attend some House Quiz business! I hadn't had that much fun since the Quidditch World Cup!
