Disclaimer: This goes for the whole story. The only thing I own here is Melany Simmons, her mom, her dad, her brother Mike, and her muggle friends. Oh, and my socks.
A/N: Rated for possible future swearing, kissing, and fighting. Please no flames, my first fanfic. Suggestions for interesting scenes are always welcome if they fit in with what I have planned. If you don't understand something, go ahead and ask about it in your review (I know you'll review! :D), but it'll probably be answered later on. Fyi, this fic will probably be pretty long, or I'll make a series. And sorry, but I always make short chapters.

11:50 p.m. - dark alley behind house with flashlight - Had to take a trip to Diagon Alley (through the American entrance) alone today. Sometimes I wish my parents and brother weren't squibs. Everything magical's all up to me to figure out in my life. It really sucks.
I'm sitting here in the alley behind my house after dark because I just have to get away sometimes, ya know? Well, I better go find something to eat. The parents forgot to feed me again. I swear, if I didn't know to eat and sleep every day, I'd be dead by now. Might sneak into the bathroom to write some more later, but I doubt it. Got a big day tomorrow.

6:00 a.m. - bedroom - Fixing to get packed. I asked my mom for a lift to the airport, and she of course totally forgot about me going to Hogwarts. She's always busy juggling all our schedules so I don't really blame her. Dad and Mike are at work today, and they're taking the only cars we own that are still in running condition so I'll have to catch a ride with Bet. Good thing her mom wakes up early, and they live so close. Thank God. Well, I better be off or I'll miss my plane.
8:50 a.m. - airplane - I am on the plane and all settled in. These seats are uncomfortable, the employees are rude, it's cramped in here, and the dude next to me is sweaty and smells like rotten eggs and fried onions. Gross. I really shouldn't complain because I'm lucky we could even afford to send me to Hogwarts. But still. Eew.
10:45 p.m. - cheap hotel in London - Exhausted. Grabbed a bite to eat at McDonald's on the way to the hotel. I'm all settled in to my room, and I double-checked my inventory. I am so ready for the Hogwart's Express. Well, I'd better catch me a few winks. 'Night.
September 1 -
7:00 a.m. - about to leave cheap hotel in London - About to go turn in my key to the room and head to King's Cross Station. I am so psyched.
9:00 p.m. - first night at Hogwarts in dorm - Sat in a compartment with Neville, Ginny, and Lee on the train. No idea why Lee wasn't with the Weasley twins. Probably part of some scheme or another.
Seems that ass Malfoy ditched his body guards. Odd. Anyway, he came into our compartment to chat me up, as usual. That boy just won't give up. He's had it bad since our first year, and he's in so deep that he's not only nice to me, but my friends too. Apparently, he heard I made fun of his slicked-back hair last year so he decided to go for a new look, loose and messy. It's a great improvement.
Good food at supper, though I've never heard of half of it. Made about half the table laugh when I told them an interesting story involving my friend Chrissy, a squirrel, a pair of boxers, and a bowl of oats. Hehe, quite amusing. Don't ask. I could feel the Malfoy's eyes on me practically all the way through the meal. Dumbledore spoke of how there's no quidditch this year, and they'll have some silly tournament going on instead. I won't write about it because it's not personal or anything.
Got our schedules today, and almost every class is with Slytherin. Oh joy. Well, got a busy day tomorrow, and my roomies keep complaining about my light. Hehe. I'm writing slow just to agitate them. What fun... Anywho, I'm sleepy so I suppose this is farewell. Parting is such sweet sorrow. Sweet dreams, dear journal. Whatever.
