A Word from the Author: Hello everyone, this is jediclonecowgirl, with a new diary of Sally Amanda Joker. We continue at her second year, where she keeps all her memories, thoughts, feelings and all that, as the Chamber of Secrets is opened and she fears for her loved ones, she manages to impress Oliver Wood at Quidditch along with her sister, ticks off the prefects and realizes, that something she has been denying could be true after all.

Dear Diary.

I think that dad is pretty proud, that he managed to get me to keep a diary last year. He bought me this one, as we got back from Diagon Alley today. It's black and has a lightening bolt on its cover. Nice (insert sarcasm here)! If Harry catches me with this thing in my hands at Hogwarts, I already know, that I am gonna get hexed! Next time I will beg him on my knees, that he won't buy a diary with a lightening bolt on its cover EVER AGAIN! Still...it might be better, when I stop being so dramatic. I should write down how Diagon Alley was. There is so much to tell.

It all started out as we arrived. This time we also took Roland with us and he HUMILLIATED SAMMIE AND ME COMPLETELY! He was skipping and jumping around like an idiot, but I guess I shouldn't be mad at him. He is going to start Hogwarts after all this year and Sammie and I acted the same way, if you take away, that we were squealing, when Jack took us to Diagon Alley for the very first time. At Gringotts we met the Weasleys, Harry and Hermione. As George hugged me for greeting it all became really awkward. Maybe, because he tossed his arms around me outta nowhere. It took me long to realize, what was going on and then I just awkwardly hugged him back. Behind my back Fred (George's twin brother) and Sammie probably went "George and Sally sittin' in a tree! S-N-O-G-G-I-N-G!", but I say this right here and right now: I, Sally Amanda Joker do NOT fancy George Fabian Weasley, no matter, what our twins Fred Gideon Weasley and Samantha Alyssa Joker say!

I need to write down how Harry winded up with the Weasleys: Ron, Fred and George took a flying car, that obviously belonged to their father and flew it to the place, where Harry lived. Obviously those muggles locked him up in his room, with barely any meals and they put bars on his window. If it weren't for certain magical laws, I would've payed a visit to those muggles and hexed them into OBLIVION! Note to self: If Percy, my pompous rule-following friend...or whatever the heck we are, ever should get a hold on this diary, I should charm this one password protected.

We all split up soon though, after we were outta Gringotts. Aunt Alyssa, who was at Diagon Alley with us, took Roland and went to Ollivanders with him, I hope he wasn't too creeped out by the man, took Ginny (Ron's little sister) and went to some shop with her, that selled used robes, the Weasleys aren't really well off and they have to buy school stuff for their kids second-handed very often, Percy was off buying himself a new quill and even muttering to himself about it, I should make a seagull quill his birthday present this year, or better his Christmas present, since I don't know, when Percy's b-day is, Mr. Weasley took Hermione's parents to the Leaky Cauldron, he is really fascinated by muggles, and Sammie and I went with Harry, Ron and Hermione. Basically we were having a really good time. I was chatting with Ron about our little siblings attending Hogwarts. Ron says, that we shouldn't let Roland and Ginny hang with us too often and, that they need to make friends of their own. I was all "I beg to differ Ronald Weasley", didn't actually call him that though...would make me sound too much like Hermione! I mean...I don't get, why Ron talks like this. I mean...they are our siblings, why shouldn't they hang with us every so often? Still...in some way he is also right.

I should take the oppertunity to write a bit more about Ginny. As I said, she is Ron's little sister and the only girl in the Weasley household. I like her and so does Sam. Maybe we can be friends at Hogwarts. Would be pretty cool. Maybe we can even have her along for the ride, when we get pulled into something crazy again, but I highly doubt, that this happens again...like last year. Still have nightmares of Quirrell drinking Unicorn blood. Still...I don't think Fred, George and Percy would approve of that. Those three might often be at war, but they have one thing in common: They are protective of Ginny. There is one more thing, that was probably obvious to all of us: Ginny has a raging crush on Harry! Ron told me some things, that happened at his house, when Ginny and Harry were in the same room. Love is a strange game I can say.

It went really crazy, when we arrived at Flourish and Blotts. This author Gilderoy Lockhart was there to sign his newest book "Magical Me". Most women really liked him, even Hermione does, and I think almost every female being in this shop fancied him, but to be really honest: I just think, that he is a real phoney and a git! No matter to hide the fact, that he is more pompous, than Percy could ever be! As he spotted poor poor Harry in the crowd, he pulled him out to take photos with him. Harry looked, like he was going to sink down in the floor. On our school list for this year we had all of Lockharts books! ALL OF THEM! Ugh...another thing, that's going to haunt me in my nightmares: LOCKHARTS FACE! He gave Harry an entire set of his books for a present. As soon as he was outta sight, Harry gave them to Ginny though. Sweet Merlin...she almost fainted...and get this: This prick Lockhart is our new DADA teacher! HELP!

Didn't end there for us...obviously...it never does! Guess who was there: MALFOY! Junior and Senior! He actually had his father with him! A real creep I can say! When it comes to Malfoy's bad manners, I can only say like father like son! Mr. Malfoy went up to and said horrid stuff about him and his family being a disgrace to the name of Wizard, because of associating with muggles and half-bloods, what was obviously an insult into OUR direction! shot back, that he has his own idea of, who is a disgrace to the name of Wizard. They began to throw insults at each other. It all ended in violence. I can only say like father like son again, since Ron had almost beaten up Malfoy. He was all going off about Harry and Ginny being a couple, since she was standing up for Harry, as Malfoy insulted him, but I am going off-subject here again.

Fred and George were cheering for their father, but...Merlin...Mrs. Weasley was SO BLOODY angry, after we left that shop. I can barely wait, until I am allowed to use magic again. I will personally use Malfoy as a training doll for new jinxes. Hell...maybe even Flint! I do not want to show off now, but the latter could make me the hero at Common Room...at least in my year, since Flint is a bully, who torments the younger people of Gryffindor at every chance he gets...and you can really point out, that this prat is a prefect! Out of the prefects they are gonna name heads next year...one boy and one girl. I am literally praying, that Flint does not get the position of Head Boy! Percy has been longing for it, as George tells me. If he really gets the badge, then I will personally hug the living daylights outta him! Even if this pompous guy gets it, it's better, then that bully Marcus Flint!

Sally Amanda Joker

Dear Diary.

Hermione came to see us today. Gosh...how was cursing, as he let Hermione outta his car. It took him hours to find out house. Poor man...still...I laughed so hard! I wish Jack could've seen that, but he is at the edge of this world doing something for Gringotts. My oldest brother is a curse breaker!

We were showing Hermione around in our house. She was really impressed by our reading room...and basically our entire house, but mostly our the reading room. Booknerd! We did Potions Homework together and then Hermione insisted to proofread my essay for History of Magic, but I didn't let her! Probably, because Ron will ask me to copy, as soon as we are back at Hogwarts and I will let him do that! Dad always said, that letting friends copy isn't a wrong thing to do: At his muggle school he and his friends called it teamwork. Mum always says, that it's wrong, but that's rich coming from the sister of a person, who almost let the entire population of Hufflepuff copy her work!

Hermione always shakes me that dirty look, when I let Ron, or Harry, or Sammie, or Dean, or Seamus copy. She always says, that I should let them run in the open blade, when they forget to do their homework, but I do not intend to do that! They won't run into the open blade, because of forgotten essays, or anything like that! Not on my watch! As long as I don't let the entire year copy at once everything will be just fine!

We all began to talk about boys later on...or better said boys and men! Hermione was swooning over Gilderoy Lockhart, while Sammie and I tried to talk her into looking at boys, who were more likely of really treating her good and not just like a swooning fan...like the boys, who are still in school with us. Well...we talked about the boys, who are in school with us there, but we didn't speak out any names...and certainly not Ron's. Gosh...I can just be glad, that Ginny was not there with us, or else Sammie and I would've had two swooning girls on our hands...okay maybe it's not that likely, since Ginny barely talks about, that she likes Harry. Hermione doesn't make a big deal outta it, that she swoons over Lockhart and she really wasn't getting our drift about chosing someone, who is at school with us, since she always kept saying, that Lockhart was charming and good-looking and such a brilliant author!

I really can't say much about me liking a boy in the special way. Never had a crush on anyone before and I DO NOT LIKE GEORGE, AS HERMIONE AND SAM ARE STILL SAYING! Still...there is one new thing in love matters: My dear twin has a crush on Lee Jordan! Nobody knows except for me! I don't even think, that Sammie knows, that I know it. I just heared her whispering his name into her pillow last night. Quite sweet, but doesn't he have a girlfriend? Maybe I should ask around at Hogwarts. There are some girls, who could know about that, including my housemates Lavender Brown and Parvati Patil. As long as they don't spread the rumor, that I have a crush on Lee, it's cool. They really are gossip girls.

Soon we go back to Hogwarts. Can't wait. I missed it so much. Will be so great to see the old faces again. Parvati, Lavender, Dean, Seamus, Neville, Fred and George, Oliver, Percy, Ron, Harry and all the others. Roland is so excited! It's quite amusing. Too bad, that only mum and aunt Alyssa will see us all off. Jack is still at...Merlin knows where and dad has to work.

Ginny and Roland have to worry about houses and all that. I hope Ginny and Roland will be in Gryffindor. Would be kinda cool to have them both there. Still...it's unlikely, that Roland will wind up in Gryffindor. He is more of a booknerd and quite shy...a perfect candidat for Ravenclaw, like the rest of the family. Probably aunt Alyssa, Sammie and I will be the only tradition breakers, when it comes to houses at Hogwarts. Heh...

Sally

Ending Word: Well...the second year diary has started. I hope you liked the chapter and I hope, that you will leave some reviews behind. Now all I have left to say is bye, bye and mischief managed.
