very interesting! i like it! Is Billius Ron's actual middle name from the books? or did you make it up?
Your origional character's names are creative. they sound very . . . magical, i gues i can say. lol.
there was one thing i didn't like though: the i pod thing. i think dumbledore or the ministry would have put more advanced spells on hogwarts so that a student could'nt get around them. but, i totally see where you're going with that part. lol.
I also loved the diary entry. it is exactly like somehing i would write! :P
keep it up!! on to the next chapter . . . .

Author's Response: Yes, Billius is his acutal name. It\'s after one of his uncles that did something important, tho i can\'t remember what. All the names of my OC\'s are all Scottish, Irish, and English (my three ancestries) and I thought that they sounded really pretty. The I-pod\'s gonna play in a little more later on, I just did wanna have to go and think up songs and stuff for the balls, so I figured, why not just make her a bit special and cool like. I haven\'t really been keeping up with the diary that much, I\'d actually forgotten about it a little bit (I was having grad plans for other things, lol). But I will try to bring it back every few parts, we\'re just gonna assume that she writes in it all the time. glad you like!
