August The Seventh Mundane Year Nineteen Seventy One
My name is Marlene Mckinnon. This is my diary. My aunt gave it to me today. It's my birthday. I just turned eleven. My sister has taken it over and everyone loves her. She's older than me and she's stupid. Anyway, I'm bored. I'm sitting in an apple tree writing this and it'll mess up my preetty party dress and I don't care because I'm mad. But I'm also REALLY HAPPY because I got my Hogwarts letter today. But I hate hate hate Gabriella. Gabriella is my older sister. I talked about her before.
There is actually no point in telling who she is, unless I, like, put this in a bottle and drop it into the sea and some muggle finds it and they have to track me down to give me an important message to save my life, but I don't think that'll happen. I can see Hogwarts from here and it's really pretty. It has like ten trillion towers. I want to be a Gryffindor and I will sit in the top of a tower and laugh at Gabriella. She thinks I'll be in Hufflepuff and never master my magic but I won't. I stole her wand once and I cast a sock folding charm and it actually worked but the socks wouldn't unfold but that's NOT my fault because Gabriella's wand is stupid anyway. It's made of willow.
She's a Ravenclaw in case you couldn't guess. Everyone likes her but me.
I really really hate her. She also stole my party by inviting her stupid boyfriend. Everyone is talking about their impending marriage now. It's stupid and I hate them. They'll probably break up anyway. They've completely forgotten about blowing up my birthday cake. That's why I'm sitting here by myself with this stupid diary. I don't like it. It's too girly and it's violet. I wanted a pink diary. I didn't want a diary at all. But if I did, I would have wanted a pink one. Everybody knows my favorite colour is pink. My mother is yelling at me now. She's probably mad because I messed up this dress. It cost money. Oh no. Ok bye. I'm not going to write in here again because it's stupid. Bye.

This is my diary. I'm writing in it again because I'm bored. I got my wand in Diagon Alley and then my mother went and took it and put it on a high shelf because she's mean and stupid. I'm really bored. The first year text books are stupid. I already know everything in them. Every wizarding person knows them. I know how to make potions.
How is making potions even magic ? My mother told me to go read my books if I was bored and then Gabriella gave me a stupid patronizing speech because she's just so perfect. I really don't like my family. I'm bored.
Gabriella told me that she hasn't learned any magical potions yet either and she's in fourth year. She says it's because the Wizengamot decided allowances have to be made for muggleborns because they don't know anything yet. That's how stupid school is. I don't even want to go to school. I hate muggleborns. I thought school was going to be interesting. There are levitation charms in my charms textbook. I can do levitation charms without a wand sometimes.
I wonder why everyone pretends muggleborns are good at magic. Gabriella says the new ones can't even get onto the train platforms without help.
I'm not going to ever let anyone read this diary. I wish my father wasn't an auror. I wish I was from one of the families that lets their children learn magic before school. I wish the ministry of magic didn't exist.
I can't even take a broomstick to school. It's because it might make the muggleborns jealous because they can't fly. I hate my life so much. I can't even take it to school. I think maybe I'll run away and live with the Rosiers. I won't actually. I'm going to go outside and fly my broomstick. I think maybe I'll steal take my wand away and shrink my broomstick and put it in my trunk and fly secretly at night in Hogwarts.
August The Fifteenth Mundane Year Nineteen Seventy One
I almost died yesterday and now I'm not even allowed to go outside because mother is "worried" about me and also she's stupid. I don't like her. I went flying and then Gabriella gave me a stupid lecture so I flew away and then I kept flying because it was fun and then I didn't know where I was so I flew up to try to find out where I was and then I saw a muggle flying machine thing so I flew closer to it because I haven't seen one of those things up close only I was wearing a scarf and one of the whirly things on it caught it and suck it in and I did magic so I didn't die but I hit my head.
Also a muggle saw me I think, and my father gave me a long lecture when I got home because I broke the statute of secrecy and I can't do this anymore because I'm growing up and will soon be a young lady. If Gabriella did that it would all be ok because she's perfect but all she even does is read. I really don't like my family. They're all stupid.
Anyway I have to stay inside my room now and I'm bored. Also I really don't like Gabriella. She gave me a stupid lecture about how I should make the best of it. She thinks I "don't know as much as I think" and "It's always a good idea to study because there will always be a detail that I don't know even though I think I do" and "if life throws you lemons you should make lemonade". Apparently that's a muggle saying.
It's stupid. I told her I'd rather turn them into snakes and throw them at her and then she got annoyed and told Mother and she gave me a long lecture. Everybody thinks they can tell me what to do.
I wish I wasn't the youngest person in this family. I don't like being told what to do.
I am writing a
haiku because I am bored
and that's all ok
There, I wrote a haiku. that's how bored I am. Gabriella showed me how to do them in her book about poetry. One of them. she has too many books. I wish she was a Gryffindor. She's boring. I really don't like her. I'm going to steal a cooky from the kitchen now because I'm tired and I don't want to ask for them. I really like cookies. Bye.
Authors Note;
I've had his idea in my head for years, literally, and I started typing randomly at ten o clock at night, and this hapenned. I will continue it as time allows(there should a be a couple more updates this week as I'm on vacation from school.) If you could take a moment to drop me a review, by the way, it would make me ever so happy.:)
