Life is miserable. School is Hell. The Carrows rule with an iron fist. They force us all to perform the Cruciatus on the younger ones, especially the Muggleborn first years who's parents didn't know any better than to not send them to school. I usually find other tasks to do or if I'm forced, I don't use full power. I wasn't allowed home for Christmas, but when Easter hols came, I was finally permitted to leave.
