Dear Diary,
Today, on a trip to Hogsmeade I decided to buy a never ending diary to write about my life. I guess I should begin by telling you about myself. My name is Lily Evans. I attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. I'm 11 years old, I'll be 12 in February. In Hogwarts we study the subjects of Astronomy, Charms, Defense Against the Dark Arts, Herbology, History of Magic, Potions, and Transfiguration. My favorite subject is Charms. I've been going to Hogwarts for a little over a month now and I like it very much. I'm a Muggleborn and I'm still learning about how amazing the magical world is. I really like the Headmaster, Albus Dumbledore. He's so nice and understanding. Well, I suppose that' part of the reaons why I love Hogwarts so much, but also I have great friends. In the Gryffindor house there are five first year girls: Me, Jenn, Kathy, Elana, and Alicia. Jenn is really nice, she has blonde hair that falls slightly below her shoulders, but she usually wears it up. She has beautiful blue eyes and is the kind of person that you know you can tell anything to and she won't judge you. Kathy has long dark hair and she's really good at flying. She wants to be a Chaser for our Quidditch team some day. Elana has puffy brown hair and large brown eyes. She loves singing and is really good at it too. Her favorite group is The Pixy Dragons. Alicia has silky long brown hair and blue eyes. She's a lot more quiet than the rest of us. She's a halfblood and was raised as a Muggle in case she turned out not to be a witch. She plays the violin in the Muggle world and she brought it to school with her because she loves playing so much. Well, those are my best friends. The five Gryffindor first year boys are: Andrew, Remus, Peter, James, and Sirius. Andrew is very short, he has light brown hair and brown eyes. He has a twin Michael in Hufflepuff. He seems nice, but I don't really know him. Kathy's talked to him a couple of times and says he's cool. Remus is tall, he has light brown hair, similar to Andrew's and blue eyes. He's really smart and nice. I've talked to him a few times. Peter is short and slightly fat. He has blonde hair and greenish blue eyes. He seems kinda nice, but he mostly just tags along trying to keep up with Sirius and James. James is medium height. He has messy black hair, brown eyes, and glasses. He's very good at Transfiguration. I'm not sure I like him though because he fools around too much with Sirius and they cause Gryffindor to lose lots of house points. Sirius is tall and has black hair and blue eyes. He's very much like James, they're always together. Well, it's getting late and I'm tired. I'll write more soon. Good bye.
