Err...hi. I'm Al. That's Albus Severus Potter to you, whoever you are. Merlin, this is strange, I'm talking to myself. Or rather, to a book.

How pathetic.

Okay. I think I should explain why I'm in this pathetic situation to begin with.

See, I have a rather large secret. My life depends on it. And there's no one I can trust with it.

So I've resorted to this. Well, what can I do? Desperate times call for desperate measures.

Oh, and before I forget, we should establish something. THIS. IS. NOT. A. DIARY. My little sister keeps a diary. This is a journal. A very manly journal.

So, it's time for me to tell you my colossal secret.

Wait

For

It...

Okay here it is:

I

Alice

Augusta

Longbottom.

Told you it was a life and death matter.
