Has anyone told you about PM's yet? You can send a private message to up to two people by writing their names in the subject line like I've just done.
If you're writing to a mudblood (which I never do but some people do sometimes), then you have to include another person and that other person has to be their master or mistress. So if you wanted to ask Granger something privately, you'd have to write a PM to her and Marvolo. Get it?
Anyway, PMs are good because sometimes people can be very nasty. Not to you, probably, because everyone knows you're not familiar with the Protectorate. Only, you might want to watch yourself. People like Weasley and Lovegood - they're actually rather nice, really, but other people don't seem to like them much. So go careful, right? Because even if you're only here for a short visit, maybe they'll let you take the journal home with you, and you don't want people seeing you talking too much to the wrong sorts.
I'm only saying it because I made that mistake myself, a couple of times, and it's been sort of hard this year.
Do you think they'll let you keep the journal, anyway? That would be snitch, you could write to us all from Beauxbatons and tell us the news.
