Dear Diary,

I've never been very good at voicing my own thoughts.

So far I've experimented with Avis Avifors to great effect! The statues I took from the lower chambers of Beauxbatons have come to life beautifully and float around the room as though they're the real birds I can see outside. I wonder if there's any way I can tinkah tinker with this. Well with that storm hitting this weekend, there'll be plenty of time, that's for sure! There must be a way of breaking through the barrier of life. I feel like I can almost see it every time that that beautiful peacock looks at me. The glazed expression in her eyes... I will solve this!

Until next time,
