This is my first fanfic and I'm really scared it would suck. It might seem boring in the beginning because it's in a form of a diary of an 11-year-old Rose but don't worry you nonexistant reader, the main plot is in Rose's sixth year in Hogwarts.
Also, English is not my native language so please correct me if I made huge mistakes. I'm hope the words 'suck', 'boring' and 'huge mistakes' didn't put you off, that would be quite ironic.

Dear Diary!
Today is my first day of going to Hogwarts. I was so excited when I got the letter. Stupid Albus kept saying I wouldn't get it because I'm a girl and girls aren't allowed. But when I asked him how did Mum and Aunt Ginny go he told me I was stupid and ran away. Ha. I know I'm not stupid because I read a lot of books this summer. I can now confuse Albus with some really long words like 'vehemently'.
Anyway, I am very excited. I have butterflies in my stomach and I am also scared I will be sorted into Slytherin. Dad told me I can't be and then Mum looked at him the way she looks at me and Hugo when we call Albus a stupidface.
I have to go now, Diary, we are leaving for King Cross soon. I can't wait to see the castle and everything. I hope it's as great as Aunt Ginny told it me it would be. James said I should watch out for The Great Lake because there are the Merepeople who eat humans. I don't know why they keep them there if they can kill us but I know I won't go anywhere near that lake, that's for sure.
Oh, I completely forgot to tell you! Diary, you are very pretty. You are pink and have fluffy covers with sequins on top. I hope to find a friend in Hogwarts, she would definitely like you.

Dear Diary!
Hogwarts is wonderful! Everything is so interesting, I can't stop looking around. There are Ghosts here, imagine that! Anyway, when we arrived, we had to drive across the lake! It was so scarry, I kept waiting for the Merepeople to jump out and eat us. But they didn't. Maybe someone asked them not to or they are on a vacation.
Oh, guess what! I was sorted in Ravenclaw! That means I'm really clever. Albus is not that clever because he is in Gryffindor. But Mum was in Gryffindor too and she is very clever. It's quite confusing. I just hope Dad wouldn't be disappointed, he said he would disown me if I wasn't in Gryffindor. But mum said he was just joking. I was really scared at first because I didn't knew anyone in Ravenclaw but then this girl Amy Williams, who was sorted in Ravenclaw right after me, started talking to me and I guess she is my friend now. She is very frinedly and laughs a lot. I like her. Maybe I'll show you to her. We are in the same dorm, after all.
I'm off to breakfast now. Did you know that food appears out of nowhere in this place? Wicked, right?

Dear Diary!
We had our first classes on Tuesday. I really like Transfiguration and our Professor, Ms. Bell. She is kind and her classroom smells like roses. I didn't like the Potions teacher, Mr. Poopface (that's what Amy and I call him). He is so stupid! He always yells at us. I should start wearing ear plugs on his classes.
Yesterday I bumped into that boy Dad was telling me about on the train station. His name is Scorpius Malfoy and he has wierd blonde hair that makes him look like a princess. He is also in Ravenclaw but I doubt he's very smart. When we clashed he looked at me very ugly and told me to watch where I'm going.

Diary, I will start calling you Jamie. I like that name and I don't like Diary for a name. Amy said I should give you a name for both girls and boys so that you can have two brains. Which is kind of impossible, since you're only a notebook.
Alright, first off, you must know I feel rather awkward writing this. Yes, Jamie, it's me, Rose Weasley. After five years of you being stuffed in a box under my bed and me, well, having a life, we meet again. I'm sorry to admit but I completely forgot you existed. After writing the monumental amount of two full pages of text in you, you pretty much disappered from my life. Until I found you two weekes ago and was instantly amazed by the dullness of my eleven year-old self. Though I did laugh quite loud when I read about Poopface. I told Amy about it so we started calling him like that again.
I also let Amy read what I wrote about her that first day in Hogwarts. She was rather touched.
- Aw, mate. - she said – I knew you fell in love with me in the first five minutes. I mean, we are both aware that it wasn't your diary you wanted to show me, eh?
Quite odd, that Amy. But I know she was touched. Probably. The chances are really high.
Anyway, you must be wondering why I decided to start confessing to you again after five full years. I know you are. You are dying of curiosity, aren't you, Jamie-boy? Right, this has to stop. I start like this and before you know it, I become one of those people who lead fascinating conversations with their tosters.
Where was I? Oh, yes, the reason. As much as I hate his name, I have to tell you that Scorpius Malfoy is the reason I need to confide to you again. Only this time I wont be calling him a princess, he's much more likely to be called a prick. Because that's what he is. I leave you with this and am off to dinner after which you will hear all about the complete farce that is my life right now.
