Dear Diary, Oh this is stupid! Why Dumbledore thinks we should all keep a diary is beyond me! He even hinted that he would know if we weren't writing in it, but assured us that whatever we wrote would be completely private, not even he would know what was written. He probably put a spell on it to let him know if we weren't writing or something. Well..I guess since it's mandatory, I might as well get some use out of it, right? Today is my first day back at Hogwarts, the first day of my sixth year. Nothing out of the ordinary happened today. Just took the school train to Hogsmeade as usual. Sat in a compartment with Ron, Hermione, Neville and Ginny. I think Neville has a thing for Ginny, he kept watching her. Anyways, Malfoy came in with Crabbe and Goyle with his usual insults, the git. Although this year was better than last years arrival. At least Hagrid was there calling the first years instead of that Grubbly Plank woman. Dumbledore gave his usual speech and all. Yeah, pretty normal for the first day. Oh yeah! Lupin is back as our DADA teacher. Not sure how he got around the werewolf thing, but I don't care as long as he's here to stay. Well it's getting late, and classes start tomorrow., so I'll write more later……since I have to.

Dear Diary,
Harry and Hermione are writing their first entry, so I might as well do mine too. Although I'd rather be playing wizard chess or exploding snap. This diary idea is ridiculous. At least Dumbledore didn't give us a required amount we had to write each day. Ginny's probably freakin' though after what happened with Riddle's diary. I wonder if she gets out of having to do it because of that. I'll have to ask her tomorrow. Well not much has happened yet. I mean we just got back! That git Malfoy came and bugged us on the train, as usual. Sometimes I wish someone would just curse that smirk right off his pointed little face! Well…that's good enough for now.

September 1st 11:30pm Dear Diary,
This was such a good idea of Dumbledore's. I used to keep a diary back home, before I was accepted into Hogwarts. I don't know why I stopped, just been too busy I suppose. Anyway, me and Harry had to practically bribe Ron into to write in his, he is so irresponsible and immature sometimes. It is mandatory after all. I'm so excited to be back at Hogwarts! Professor Lupin is back as our DADA teacher again J. Finally we'll be learning something in that class again. I still think Harry should start the DA up again though. It wouldn't hurt to get more practice. I'm sure Professor Dumbledore would be okay with it, I bet Professor Lupin would even let us use his classroom. I think I'll talk to Harry about it tomorrow. Malfoy came into our compartment on the train today. He is so obnoxious! It wouldn't be so bad if he at least came up with some new insults, be original. It's always the same things. "Hey Potty, Weasel, Mudblood. Oh look, Weaselette and brainless long bottom are here too. "
Then it goes on to his comments about the Weasleys being poor, and me being muggle born and a know-it-all, Harry being an attention-seeker and an orphan, and Neville being forgetful. Neville is getting better about forgetting stuff too. Malfoy is such a pain! But I have to admit, he gets better looking every year we're here. Oh God, I can't believe I wrote that. I hope Ron and Harry never find out I think Malfoy is Hot. Better go, classes start tomorrow.
Love, Hermione

Dear Diary,
I really don't know what to write about, but I'm supposed to write something. I asked Ginny what you write in a journal, she said you tell it anything you want. From your daily events, to things you can't tell anyone else, like your deepest secrets. So…something I'm afraid to tell anyone else. I think I like Ginny, like really like her. But I think she still likes Harry. What else…oh…I want to be the one to kill Bellatrix Lestrange….I guess I want revenge for what she did to my parents. But then, Harry probably wants revenge on her for what she did to Sirius Black, I guess he was Harry's godfather or something. And Harry's probably more likely to be able to get his revenge, he's much better at magic than me.

Dear Diary,
I can't sleep. I would have written earlier, but I was scared. Dumbledore promised me that nothing bad would happen. That these diaries were muggle journals, and the only spell was one letting him know they were being written it, and an indestructible charm. But, after last time, I was pretty nervous. Being possessed by a memory in a diary can do that to a person. Anyways, me and Dean broke up over the summer…it just wasn't working. And I think Neville likes me, he kept staring at me on the bus. I think I might give him a chance, he's a nice guy, and we went to the Yule ball together my 3rd year. I don't know, we'll see. I think I might still have lingering feelings for Harry.
Love, Ginny

Dear Diary,
How stupid is this! Dumbledore is such a stupid old coot. Making us all write in these stupid journals! I tried to get out of it, but Snape said there was nothing he could do. Apparently the old bat thinks writing in here will help everyone deal with their emotions about the war. Like I care about the stupid war! My father is in Azkaban , which doesn't bother me, it keeps him off my back. But he's there because he followed that insane half-blood. I don't like mud bloods or muggles anymore than my father does, but I'm not gonna end up in Azkaban because of it. And he wants me to become a death eater like him, look where it got him. And everyone keeps giving me those pity looks…I don't need their pity. My mom seemed happier this summer than I've ever seen her, which makes me want my dad to stay in Azkaban even more. I hope he never gets out, mom says that's unlikely. Something about the dementors taking the dark lord's side or something. Saw Potty and his stupid friends today. My insults were lacking though, I got to think up some new ones. It's not my fault, the weasels sister was distracting me. She actually got Hot! Who'd ever think one of the Weasley's could be so attractive.
