First Year Girls Dorm, Gryffindor
1 September 2011
8:17pm

Dear Diary,

Well, first night at Hogwarts and I'm in Gryffindor. Roar! I met Teddy on the train; he's in third year. Today he had blond with blue streaked hair and chocolate brown eyes. He made my blonde hair and blue eyes look so ordinary. That's like the classic "popular girl" look. I wish I had Aunt Ginny's hair-it's so nice. Lily is so lucky that she got it.

Well anyway, Hogwarts is so much better than Dad said. I'm so glad I'm here instead of Beauxbatons. I don't even know that much French, Mum! She can be so annoying sometimes-at least Dad knows I can't speak French.

Well, Auntie Gabrielle is another matter. She has finally given up hope on Uncle Harry (good thing too, he's only got eyes for Aunt Ginny and her beautiful hair) and started dating other guys. Nothing wrong with that, except when she goes on dates I swear she wears the skimpiest things she can find (if she can find skimpier I'd be surprised. Even that Muggle "star", Paris Hilton, wears a bit more).

The worst thing is that she's my godmother. Mum, Dad...PLEASE DON'T DIE!

Well, I should tell you about my dorm mates.

Sarah-Jane, or SJ, Keyes, looks alright, to be quite honest. She's got dark-brown, silky hair in layers and brown eyes. One thing: she's already used those eyes to give me five death stares this evening. I mean, it's not my fault that I accidentally chucked my shampoo onto her bed and it opened and made her bed all...yucky. Or that I left my t-shirt in the shower. Or that when I ran out of the bathroom I bumped into her. And, I didn't mean to leave the soap on the floor so that I nearly broke her neck. And I most definitely didn't talk about her while she was in the showers...I mean, what a waste of time that would be!

So that's my first enemy at Hogwarts: SJ

There's also Sakura Tozer, who I should have told you about first, to be honest. She and I met on the train and I think she's going to be my bestie. Aunt Hermione said I might need a few, and that it's okay if they're guys. But you can't talk to guys the same way as you can with girls, Aunt Hermione! Well anyway, Sakura's got blonde curls - and they're really curly, I'm not sure I can stand seeing her tomorrow morning - and green eyes.

It's quite a story how we met. Well, not really. I was walking with Teddy, all shy, as I am. And, well, he basically ditched me to go snog his girlfriend, who looked completely skanky- she was wearing short-shorts and a halter top -; so there I was looking like a complete loner. I'm sure he didn't mean to be rude. So Teddy and his girlfriend, Jasmine, went into the nearest compartment and Sakura came out of there, blushing. And then we found a compartment and started talking and that's basically it.

Mandy Winters, however, seems to have sided with SJ, and maybe I was wrong when I said SJ was my first enemy, because I "met" Mandy first. I bumped into her when I was on Platform 9 and 3/4 and she gave me a Get-away-from-me-you-loser look and said, "Watch it." And then she flounced off to go flirt with a Hufflepuff second year, twirling her orange hair and batting her eyelids over her green eyes. It is important to note that her hair is orange, and not Aunt Ginny's red.

Lastly, there's Roxy Graham-Black. She has got dirty blonde hair which she wore today in a high ponytail that almost made the Sorting Hat fit properly on her head. Almost. They still slipped past her blue eyes, but only a little bit. She's loud and loves a good chat. I already know she's got two cats, Minnie and Kitty, her parents are divorced, her step-mother is a famous fashion designer, she loves shoes, shopping, clothes and cats, she hates dogs, fish, unicorns and her mum, and she's Muggle-born. Everyone else is Pureblood, not that it matters, thought I'd just tell you.

Roxy, well, I'm pretty sure I know who her besties will be, but let's just wait and see.

Urgh. SJ just snapped at me to turn my night-light off and go to bed. Guess I'll tell you about the guys and the students in the other houses later.

Love,

Victoire Weasley


Gryffindor Common Room

Dear Diary,

Well, we've had flying lessons, Herbology, Potions, Astronomy, Transfiguration and Charms. Hogwarts is great!. I spoke to Teddy yesterday (when his hair was black, his eyes were blue, and his face was full of freckles). He has way more homework than me, and he's planning on trying out for the Quidditch team too.

I realised I didn't really describe the castle in my last entry. Well, it's very big, with heaps of staircases, and corridors, and classrooms. The Great Hall is where we have all our meals and we sit in houses there. SJ, Mandy and Roxy can usually be found in seats near the entrance, I suspect because everyone can see them there, Teddy doesn't really mind where he sits, and neither do Sakura or I. Yeah, that was just a bit of trivia.

Roxy is definitely friends with Mandy and SJ. As for Sakura and I, we made friends with a Ravenclaw, Claire Norton, in Herbology, before Professor Longbottom separated us for talking too much. He's a real hero, Longbottom: he saved Hogwarts and the whole wizarding world thirteen years ago. He apparently got rid of Tom Riddle's snake-maybe I could ask him about it later...

Well, the guys: no one is really cute. Not to me anyway. Mandy has already got a second-year Ravenclaw boyfriend named Alex Greene, but he's just someone she can climb up the ladder with. He's nothing special, at least not in looks, and that's probably all Mandy looks for. And as for Sarah-Jane, well, she was flirting with a Hufflepuff third-year this morning on the second-floor corridor who was hot and was paying her a great deal of attention. I just hope I don't walk in on them kissing tomorrow.

The Gryffindor guys in our year are Nicholas Brusselsnout, Timothy Peters, Daniel Grey, Christopher Mitchell and Robert Wilson.

Another row this morning: I accidentally used Roxy's hairbrush. Come on, it looked exactly the same as mine.

Dear Diary,

Mum and Dad wrote today, and I just sent them my reply. They asked me how I was and, how embarassing, Dad asked me whether I had a boyfriend, because under no circumstance am I allowed one. And Aunt Ginny said that he used to be cool when he was a kid! Yeah, right! I mean, just because he has a ponytail and a fanged earring, doesn't mean he's not super embarrassing.

I saw Teddy with seven different shades of hair today! Seven! I thought Professor McGonagall would call him up to her office, but she used to teach Transfiguration, and she knew his parents, so she didn't mind. Either that or she didn't know about all seven shades. Jasmine thought that she had to run her hand through each shade though, and that wasn't the only thing she was doing: Teddy's and her lips were occupied too. And I just had to see them all seven times - in the courtyard, in the unused classroom on the fifth floor, outside the Portrait Hole (the Fat Lady was pretty relieved when I opened the portrait hole because then she wouldn't have to watch them any longer. As for me...I'll always check that Ted's in the common room before leaving), in the Great Hall, in the Entrance Hall, at the Astronomy Tower, and down near Hagrid's Hut.

As happy as I am for Ted, they are a bit disgusting.

Beside the Fat Lady's Portrait

Dear Diary,

I forgot the password and the Fat Lady's in a bad mood and won't let me in. Uncle Charlie and Aunt Grace wrote to say that I'd be going to their place for the first thredaye s of the Christmas holidays. I'm so excited, even though it's all the way in December. Gwen and I can go over what Hogwarts is like for when she comes here next year.

Oh, here comes my knight in shining armour...but where's Jasmine?

Dear Diary,

Woah. So much happens in five minutes. Teddy told me the password, "Hippogriff", and we walked into the common room. As we walked, he told me he'd broken up with Jasmine. I wanted to help, and say thank you for the password, and I forgot, okay! I forgot I'm part Veela, and that when I hug a guy they go absolutely spaz. His hair was black, but then when I hugged him it turned a perfect shade of scarlet. I could have died. But I wonder what colour it would have turned if I was a couple of years older? What am I saying? The point is: I was so embarrassed I rushed up here and now I'm writing to you.

Sakura's just come up now and is trying to explain how it wasn't my fault and that it's no big deal. No big deal? She doesn't know what it's like being part Veela. The whole common room was staring at us, Kura!

Urgh! Why did I have to be a girl?

Love, Victoire


In the back of Transfiguration,
19 October 2011
9:22am

Dear Diary,

I think I might die!

See, Uncle Percy's and Aunt Hermione's parting words before I left Hogwarts were, "And study hard for the end of year exam." Well, a lot has changed since they were at Hogwarts: we have exams before Christmas! And then we have harder exams in June. Yeah, it sucks. Kura said Professor Edgecombe, our Transfiguration teacher, told us that ages ago. I must have been too busy looking at the pimples on her face. Apparently they're Aunt Hermione's handiwork - that's what Uncle Ron says, anyway.

But these exams... it doesn't take a genius to figure out I'm no genius at anything. I don't think I can even do simple spells! What am I going to do?

Mum owled to say that Uncle Percy and Aunt Teresa are going to have a baby and to write my congratulations. And I, being the good little girl I am, did so.

Oooh. What a view you can get from a classroom window! Uncle George managed to owl Teddy some Puking Pastilles and I think that's why "Filch" is outside laying on the grass right now. I wish I was born a Metamorphmagus!

Better try learning Transfiguration, I guess,

My dorm
31 October 2011
10:39pm

Dear Diary,

I've got my hangings closed, because everyone else's high on all the sugar from the Halloween Feast and playing Truth or Dare. But I'm not going to play. SJ brought up the hugging Teddy incident tonight, and I'm sure they'll dare me to kiss him or something. They don't just settle for a couple of giggles and a slightly-embarassed part-Veela, those girls. Kura's playing; she thinks I'm asleep. Oh, I heard my name. Roxy just dared Mandy to carry me over to the seventh year boys' dormitory and leave me there against a wall for the night. And she's just agreed. Hang on...

10:45pm

Wow what a screaming match. Basically what happened was Mandy opened the hangings and then I said, "You better not drag me up there!"

Kura can be so daft sometimes. She just blinked and said, "Oh, Vic, your up."

"IF YOU DRAG ME UP THERE I SWEAR YOU WILL REGRET IT!" I said, no, make that, shouted.

"What can you do to us?" asked SJ, hands on hips.

"SHUT UP AND DON'T TAKE ME ANYWHERE!"

"What the hell? Just let us do the dare, Victoire," said Mandy.

"I NEVER SAID I'D PLAY," I said and, boy, now do I understand what Dad meant when he said that Veelas can get really angry.

"Yeah? Well, you've been eavesdropping on our truths, so you might as well pay the price," SJ said in Mandy's defence.

"EAVESDROPPING? I HAVE A RIGHT TO BE HERE, DON'T I? IT'S MY DORM, TOO!" I screeched.

"Just drag her out, Mandy," said Roxy, chewing some magical bubblegum.

But I grabbed my wand and said the first incantation that came to mind: "Bogus Chiroptera!"

Aunt Ginny told me the incantation to the Bat Bogey Hex last summer and promised she'd teach me how to do it properly this Christmas, which maybe why Mandy had bats clinging to her forehead instead of bats springing out of her nose and attacking her face. But Mandy still went outside squealing and she hasn't returned since. SJ and Roxy went after her, but SJ managed a death stare first.

As for Kura, well, she complimented my spellwork and then we both hopped into our beds in silence. I think she feels guilty for playing, but I don't blame her. Maybe I'll tell her tomorrow.

Well, I better get some sleep,

Yours truly,

Vix


Common Room
13 November 2011
3:20pm

Dear Diary,

Dad's birthday is coming up, and I'm not too sure what to get him. Teddy's going to Hogsmeade tomorrow with his friends so I have to decide quickly. How about a couple of ponytail holders and a cloth to polish his fang earring? No, that's unoriginal and boring. And I don't want Teddy spending his first Hogsmeade trip bored in a hair and makeup store.

I just called across the common room to Teddy.

"Oi, Teddy!" I yelled.

Teddy turned around on his seat at one of the tables and swung his chair back.

"Yeah?" he asked.

"What should I get Dad for his birthday?"

His hair turned green as he screwed up his face in thought.

"Get him a pyramid earring, didn't he say he misses the tombs?" was Teddy's reply.

And it suddenly dawned on me that Dad is probably sick of wearing the same earring. Even if it was a seven-year-old Aunt Ginny who had persuaded Grandpa Weasley to buy it.

"Oh," I said faintly. "Oh, yeah."

Why is it that Teddy always makes a fool of me in front of the whole common room? Oh, I forgot, it's because I just happen to interact with him. Where's Kura when I need her. Oh Kura! Damn where is she? I better go find her, and money to give Ted so he can buy an earring

Dear Diary,

Just sent Dad's birthday present. He's forty-one. Getting old, if you ask me. And to think Mum's only 34, so when they were married... Mum was 20 and Dad was 27!

Ted got the pyramid earring from a small jewellery store in Hogsmeade. He also bought me a small bracelet with his own money, which I find extremely sweet. It's silver and has love-hearts and flowers engraved in it. I told Mum and Dad how nice it is that he bought me it and that we should get him a big Christmas present (bigger than usual, anyway).

Christmas is soon! I can't wait to talk to Gwen again. But we've got exams in a fortnight! I'm meeting Claire and Kura in the library this evening so we can get some study done. We've got no homework, we've just got to study like hell.

Love,

Victoire

Dear Diary,

Exams just finished, and Claire and I are about to have a snowball fight. Sakura has gone to the Gryffindor common room to go talk to Nicholas about the textbook she lent him that he lost. Nick is a bit irresponsible. Okay, more than a bit. But he's good fun, he'll always make you laugh. Dan and Robert are the Quidditch-obsessed ones, and I can tell Dan's going to grow up to look really hot. Tim and Chris are the ones that care most about grades, Chris a bit more than Tim. But they only care around exam time. In the common room they usually bewitch paper planes (they're rather good at that) to fly at the studying fifth year girls. Bad idea, as one of the girls, Tracey Barrenheart, is a rather good dueler.
