This story is all journal entries in Tammy's journal. I'm making it realistic, so whenever she can't spell a word, then it will be spelt wrong, and there will be a few grammar errors and such. I recommend that you don't read this unless you have read Like A Black Rose, because the entries are written while that story takes place as well as a little before and during the years I skipped and those few months too. This will help explain a lot of things people might've been wondering after reading Like A Black Rose. Hope you like it!
In case you haven't noticed, in the beginning of the book, Tammy's last name is Edwards and then it suddenly changes to Anderson. This is because I didn't think the name Edwards fit her that well. I forgot to mention the change, and I didn't change it in the chapters were her last name was Edwards, because I was too lazy, but just so you know, her name is going to be Tammy Anderson throughout this whole thingy.
And please remember that it's all what's in her journal. Even if it seems like a letter to someone, it's just another journal entry.

Dear Journal,
Don't think that I'm going to write that often because I'm not. Dad gave me this stupid pink diary because he thinks mum going to Azkaban is affecting me greatly. I am going to spray paint you black and you shall be my evil journal of doom.
I may lie to you at times, because I am evil. Remember that, okay?
And even though I feel so stupid when I'm writing in you as if I'm talking to a person, I will continue writing this way because I can do whatever I feel like doing.

Dear Journal,
I hate my dad. He won't let me get a tattoo. I'm 12 years old. I'm practically a teenager. I want a tattoo! It will make me look cool!

Dear Journal,
I just found out that Professor Binns has been marking me absent even when I was there! He is so stupid! And boring. Stupid and boring. Yes he is. A stupid boring ghost.

Dear Journal,
I got a small tattoo on my back. Nobody will ever see it, especially not my dad! He'll never find out and I'll never get in trouble.
It's a tattoo of a blue and black dragon. The tattoo guy got mad when I said how small I wanted it.

Dear Journal,
There's a few people I'd like to comment on.
Alex Silver is not funny at all. Fred Weasley is ugly. Angelina Johnson should be thrown into a river. Professor Flitwick is short and stupid.

Dear Journal,
I'm going to be absent the day Professor McGonnagal assigns partners for that project. Yes I am.

Dear Journal,
My partner for the stupid assignment is George Weasley. He doesn't seem that bad. Maybe I'll talk to him… And only him. ONLY HIM!
His red hair is pretty cool though.
If I get him to be my friend then I'll actually have a friend, and that's all I want, right? To not be alone. Right?

Dear Journal,
George saved me! I almost fell off those stupid moving stair cases and he caught me. And for a second, I could've sworn that I smiled.
I'm gonna visit George tonight in his dorm and thank him, because I forgot to before.

Dear Journal,
George's dormitory is so cool, especially because he and his twin brother are in it. I will talk to Fred too now, but only sometimes. George is better.
George hugged me. I have a feeling that we'll be great friends someday!

Dear Journal,
I'm staying at Hogwarts this Christmas. George is too and that makes me really happy, because then I won't be alone.
I'm not expecting him to get me a present, but I'm getting him a Quidditch watch. He's on the house team and I love to watch him and his brother at practice.

Dear Journal,
George got me a gift! It's a pair of black boots! Black my favorite color! How did he know?!!!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?
This was the best Christmas ever!

Dear Journal,
I disgust myself! I just read over the last 5 entries and it seems like I'm in love with George. I am a horrible writing. And I thought that I was good at expressing myself.
But honestly, I like George as a best friend, not at all as a boyfriend.
And I'm 110 percent sure of that. It was one of the only things that I am sure about.

Dear Journal,
George is so funny. He can really help cheer me up at times.
I wonder if he feels sorry for me. Maybe that's the only reason why he's agreeing to be my friend.

Dear Journal,
I keep forgetting to write in here…Awww….

End of Chapter 1
This may seem very boring, but go ahead and read Chapter 2. It's way more interesting.
