I figure I should start documenting as I have just gotten the pleasure of meeting my future husband. Well, hopefully. He might turn out to be an arse, but heaven above grant me luck and stars have mercy. Now I understand what Penny was going on about when she had a crush on a boy last year. Gosh, I told her it wasn't a big deal and that she most definitely was not going to die but oh do I have apologies to make.
Elodie is looking at me with the strangest look right now, and I am simply grateful her English is rather dreadful. Seeing her usually very down to earth and judging best friend dramatically sighing every few minutes must be quite shocking. but if I told her, I would be mocked forever, playfully most of the time, but I would never be made to forget it.
She has been successfully shoo-ed out of the room, so now I can scratch away at this godforsaken piece of parchment I am giving all my secrets to. I can imagine Penny shaking her head and saying 'I told you so' in that odd way of hers.
If I am to go on and on about this mystery boy to my secret keeping parchment, might as well go on and explain why I am fascinated and fancy myself in love with the bloke. And to my mama's voice in my head telling me my English sounds extremely British, yes, I know it does, probably because I learned it from one of papa's British friends.
Anyway, back to the guy. I met him during one of the international events, a fall ball, where I was simply admiring the architecture of Hogwarts' beautiful castle {out loud, might I add}, when he simply... responded. 'I'd imagine you have much prettier architecture to stare at in France than this musty castle,' in that oddly mature voice of his.
Elodie has returned, and I have plans to attend, until next time. {Tomorrow!}

Pulled strings have brought me further into this deathtrap of my own design, call me a spider. And now, I get the pleasure of writing letters to my mystery stranger. {In case anyone does read this, I must not include his name, for both my sake and his.
It is truly genius, them having international letter opportunities, I sent him a letter this morning and oh, how I wish I could gush about him to Penny, but alas. She... well, it was not in Penny's fate to be magical in the kind of way I am. She has her own way of being magical, a way that I envy.
Who knew I could be envious of my baby sister? Especially when this journal was supposed to be strictly business... if you can call gushing over boy business. {Which I do not suppose you can.} I never knew you could be so nervous just waiting... Elodie, I'm sure, knows something is up. Alas, she has her own boy problems so she won't have much time to worry about my own that are merely nighttime speculations.
Until next time, when I hopefully have a letter from him in my hands and a reply drafted.

It may be late here, but I do have a reply. Which makes sense, I sent it early yesterday and got it quite late tonight, so could one hope he started writing once he got it with as much fervour as I did? Unfortunately, I will never know. He simply spoke of his surprise of recieving a letter from someone 'so distinguished as yourself' so I must have made a good impression, correct? Oh dear. Now I am speaking to parchment as though it might answer me. I get why they add the crazy to boy crazy.
Speaking of both boys and crazy, Elodie's boyfriend broke up with her, and even I could have said it wasn't going to last. Seriously, we are only thirteen, and he was about as intelligent as a rock, I am not even kidding.
The butterflies have been subdued and are now flirting about at the average pace, or what I assume one is, as they had previously been non-existent. Heavens, what has this boy done to me?
Regardless, I have a letter to reply to and a very sketchy plan as to how I might forget the whole thing. If I ignore it, will it not simply go away on its own? Until tomorrow, how boring and bland it will be without something to eagerly await.
