Katie Bell's Diary

August 28th a.k.a. Two Days Till Term

I, Katherine Anne Bell, (better known as Katie) am a muggle-born witch about to enter 6th year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. I have an abnormal family with my good hearted but totally hopeless muggle parents who are always trying to "welcome magic into their lives" but fail hopelessly by trying to

a. get me to use underage magic and therefore get me expelled because they want to see what I've been learning

b. learn on their own how to play quiditch on the normal, run-of-the-mill sweeping brooms

c. guzzle pumpkin juice on New Years till they about gagged

But as I said – they try hard and it means a lot. At least they accept the whole magic thing. But, as for the rest of my abnormal family, we didn't even attempt to explain it to them. My parents concocted a white lie that I went to some fancy prep/ boarding school in the east. That description sufficiently got most of my extended family to not come within 5 feet of me without a decent weapon to defend themselves let alone dig further into the way I spent my school years. See, half of my family lives up in Alaska where they basically go crazy in the wilderness. You, know, hunting bear with bow and arrow, running fishing sites, working in canneries making sure that the salmon is perfectly sliced before being shoved into a tin container, and most of all bragging about their encounters with a variety of wildlife (these stories almost always end in a man-against-nature fight to the death. The whole nine yards. So, as you can imagine they weren't particularly fond of the having relatives at wussy prep schools.

Hmmm, what else can I say here? Basically I'm just a quidditch-obsessed Gryffindor with good friends and no plan whatsoever for my future. At least I've ruled out any job that even touches on potions (my worst, least enjoyable, and possibly the most blinding- due to the light reflecting off of Snape's greasy face- class) .

And last but not least, here are some cold hard facts about Katherine Anne Bell:

Katie by the Numbers

3 excess pounds of carrot cake that I ate to annoy my captain Oliver Wood last year.

14 stupid nicknames the Weasly twins call me (including Kat-itsorus-rex, ect.)

5 failed potions quizzes last term alone

7—average number of times Alicia and Ange squeal daily

6 bludgers I've taken to the head

3 quills I have snapped in anger after an entire transfig. class of trying to get my death glare to actually physically harm Flint

A/N huhhhh I didn't really like that so much but Katie Bell's awesome so I had to write a story about her. So this is probably going to end up as a KBOW but I'm not certain yet. Input (as in reviews) would be completely awesome && I'll make the other chapters way longer I juust want to see if you guys can point out anything really obvious I need to change. AND NOW FOR MY DISCLAIMER... dundunDUN.

Disclaimer: i don't own katie bell, hogwarts, basically anything mentioned in here, and the katie bell by numbers was a copy off of briget jones' diary (awesome movie)

claimer: but i DO own the crazy relatives from Alaska (I have a bunch)
