Author's Note: Okay, I am now taking a break from my other story, The Fifth Maurader. Anyway, this is a story told by Draco's girlfriend, none other than Meilin's little sister, Chelsea (Okay, I have a fond liking for the name Chelsea. I name everything Chelsea. Anyway, If you've read my other story, Chelsea hasen't appeared yet. In fact, where I am, she's not even born.) Now, on with my story.

Chapter 1

Cursed the day I was born. Curse it! I'm okay... No, really. But why must I walk with this burden on my shoulders? You see, maybe I can tell you my troubles. I was born into one of the richest wizarding families in the world. 2nd richest, actually. My parents are huge Voldemort supporters. Whenever one of us kids turns eight, we are taken to become a death eater at one of the ruddy conventions. But that's not my problem. No, not at all. My problem is that I have recently turned 11, and my parents are sending me to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. In Britain. And they said if I don't make it into the Slytherin household, I would disgrace the family and be disowned. And who wants that? I sure don't.
Let me introduce myself. I am Chelsea Serene. I am 11 with long brown hair and green eyes. I hate my life. I live in Japan. I have 17 brothers and sisters, and yes, some of them are disowned. I am the sixteenth child, and I don't seem to matter much to my parents. All they ever do is threaten me, anyway. But that's not why I don't want to be disowned. You see, I have a baby sister. Well, she's not exactly a baby, but I call her that anyway. She's four years younger than me, and surprisingly, I adore her. Who would she have to look up to if I was disowned? Who would care for her when mother is drunk and father is away, putting his life on the line for Voldemort? No one. None of my other brothers and sisters would. That's for sure. I don't want to think of what would happen to my baby sister if I were gone.
But then, even if I am disowned, I will have to go to Hogwarts anyway. My sister, Meilin, who was one of the disowned few, works there as a teacher's assistant. She does errands, substitutes for the other teachers, that kind of stuff. I don't see how she does it. She has a few secrets, one of which I share with her. But I won't say that right now.
My sister, when she was in Hogwarts, fell in love with some man. After they got out, she moved back to Japan for three years to help one of my brothers with his job. After three years, she moved back and supposedly, they met up again. A year later they got married. Two years later, He was arrested for killing thirteen or fourteen people, I'm not sure. But I know he's still in Azkaban. I wouldn't be surprised if he went mad. Come to think of it, I don't know his name. Something Black... Oh, who cares? I don't.
Tommorrow I will go and get my school supplies. Of course, My mother isn't taking me. No, she couldn't take time out of her busy life to take her daughter to get items for school. I have to go with my evil older sister Kaori. I don't like her, and she sure as he--, excuse my language, doesn't like me. Here I go again... I really should get out more. Okay, here's a fact about me. I don't like people. I don't like anything. But I wish I was in Azkaban. I like dementors. Too bad I couldn't have one to suck out people's souls at my wishes. Heck, after a while I would probably tell it to suck out my soul. I wouldn't mind it at all. I'm already soulless.
I'm tired of writing. I don't like to write. I like to read, however. I especially like to read grusome accounts of things with lots of bloody details... sorry, I'm letting my mind drift off again. Anyway, I am not a happy person. I defenatly won't become a Hufflepuff. They're too happy.
Goodnight

Chelsea put down her diary and quill and flipped of the lamp switch. She drifted into a dreamless sleep.

A/N: How do you like it? I have to get at least two reveiws before I continue to Chapter 2. So reveiw, reveiw, reveiw!
