August 21, 10:15 AM

Dear Diary,

I am a witch, but I knew that anyway, I mean come on! Both of my parents are magical, not muggles. I remember when I got the letter, I was playing with my little cousin Katie (well, she's nine, but still, pretty small). The owl flew into the room and it was addressed to me. I was shocked. This of course happened a few days ago, but I didn't have a diary then.

So Diary, you may be wondering why I got you, am I right? (wait who am I kidding you can't talk back to me! Hehe, but it's still fun! HAHAHA hehehe HAHAHA hehehe. what I'm bored!) so anyway, I'm on my way back from Diagon Ally, so I decided to write in you, we took a ministry car, so it's going to take a while.

Oh! Right, why I got you. WELL, my mum said it would be, and I quote, "Nice to have some place to put down all your memories so that when you're older you can tell stories much more realistically." that's my mum for ya. Her name is Clover Bumbery, I mean seriously! WHO names their kid Clover? Her maiden name is Bell. Clover Bell. Ever heard of her? Well, she's a famous journalist. Or was a famous journalist. When she changed her name after she got married, she got no more work, so they 'decided' to have me. Suuuurrrrreeeeee, decided, yeah right, there was nothing else for her to do, BUT become a stay at home mum.

Uh-oh, Mum's coming to peer over my shoulder, better close the book.

Later,

Charlotte Ryder Bumbery

10:45 AM Same Day

Diary, (or should I call you 'Future Me'? )(Eh, let's stick with Diary for now)

Well, this is the conversation that occurred, (This is me speaking and This is Mum speaking, and this is Dad speaking):

"Hunny, I see you like your new diary."

"Eh, it's okay I guess."

"Well, we should be home any time now…what were you writing?" She tried to flip open my diary to the former page, but I stopped her, putting my hand protectively over it.

"MUM! It's my DIARY I don't WANT you to know what's in it."

"Oh, do you want to talk to your father?"

"MUM! It's nothing like that! Just GO AWAY!" She retreated to her part of the car, my father entered as she left.

"Honey, what's up?"

"Nothing much Dad."

"Eh? That's good," Dad winked, "Did you get the 'supplies'?" Dad asked in a whisper so Mum couldn't hear.

"Yep."

"That's my girl," He said then left.

So that's what happened. My dad is the one encouraging me to become a prankster. He was one when he was at Hogwarts, and I think I want to follow in his footsteps instead of Mum's.

So you're probably wondering what I look like, eh diary? (If I'm reading this then I sure as god hope I can remember what I looked like, but if it is a stranger reading it, I guess they would want to know what I look like.)

So about me, I am 11 years old, and I have longish auburn hair, with pale-ish skin and celery green eyes, (well at least that's what people say about me) I am around five foot one inches tall, and kinda skinny.

My Mum is basically five foot-on-the-dot in height, long flaming red hair, brown eyes and is very umm… buxom you could say.

My Dad is skinny, and balding, he has a red beard and brown hair, and has my celery green eyes, or I have his. He is about six foot four, so when people see my parents it's kinda funny, the height difference, but my mum is definitely the advocate for feminism, and my dad is soft spoken, (except when pranking) but when he gets angry- watch out.

My mum was in Ravenclaw when she went to Hogwarts, she's hoping, since I'm so smart, that I will get into her former house. Personally, I'm hoping I'm in Dad's former house, Gryffindor, because they respect pranksters, unlike Ravenclaw, and plus it just seems like much more fun!

Well, we're home, and I got to get my stuff out of the car then watch out for little cousin Katie.

And We're Off,

Charlotte R. Bumbery

August 28, 3:04 PM

Dear Diary,

WAZZAP? Sorry, Katie is watching some muggle television movie. It's something about a princess and some dwarves I think. Anyway, it's very predictable. So I am bored. Oh, Diary, you're probably wondering why does it seem like in every entry I mention my cousin Katie. WELL, my family lives with my mum's brother's family, because we're a very close-knitted family. Oh well. At least I don't have to share a room with Katie. Our house is basically one of those two family houses, except our living room, dining room and kitchen are the connecters. On one side of the house is Uncle Steven, Aunt Lucy and Katie, and on the other side is Mum (Clover), Dad (Denis), and me (Charlotte).

Of course there are our pets, my family has two cats, one female (Asterisk, she's actually one quarter Kneazle) and one male (Ampersand half Kneazle), we also have an owl, (Ruthy). Uncle Steven has two owls (Serra and Jamie), and one dog, a female (Nora). THANK HEAVENS that our cats get along with Nora and the owls, I don't know how we would survive if that wasn't so!

I'm taking Ampersand to Hogwarts with me, (he should be quite useful considering he's very intelligent) I hope Asterisk won't be too depressed without him. I'm sure Nora and the owls will do fine. But since I can take only one pet, I have to leave Ruthy behind, which won't be very helpful, but I can always use a school owl, at least it won't be too terrible.

Oh, I have to go, Mum's calling me.

Later,

Charlotte Bumbery

Dear Diary,

Too tired to think that much, on my way to King's Cross station, more later on the train.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz,

Bumbery (oh, that's what everyone calls me anyways, so I'll be signing this or Bumbs from now on.)

10:30 AM, Same Day

Dear Diary,

I am sitting in a compartment with a few other, to be first years. Their names are, if I am not mistaken, Penelope Clearwater, Rodger Davies and Cedric Diggory. They all seem nice enough, one of them just asked me something, I think it's that Diggory kid, one moment- Ah, he was asking what I was writing, I told him it is a horror story, he looked so shocked, obviously he is squeamish. HA. Ah, I am too cruel, I will apologize to the poor fellow- I did, he looked relieved when I told him it was just my diary.

I want to get to know my companions better.

More Later,

Bumbery.

11:25 AM, Same Day

Diary,

Cedric, it turns out is quite nice, he is very talkative though. Penelope is quiet and is currently reading. I do not, however like the looks of that Rodger Davies kid, he seems, so, ew. Anyway, Rodger and Cedric are now playing exploding snap. I am terribly bored, and seeing as those two are already started in their game I cannot join in, THAT would be rude, and Penelope looks so content reading I dare not disturb her. Ah, I guess I shall explore the train, maybe I'll find Ampersand a treat, anyway, I'm going to inform my companions that I will be back later.

I'm off to explore,

Bumbs

As Charlotte walked down the hallway, past many full compartments, she looked behind her and saw someone staring at her and walking towards her, she quickly opened the nearest compartment door and stepped in. She was breathing heavily, and did not notice that, the chatter that was going on in the compartment had stopped.

She turned around slowly, "Er, Hi! I am sorry, it's just-um, someone was-"

"What's your name?" I tall-ish boy with wild red hair and horn-rimmed glasses asked.

"Charlotte," They continued to look at her, "OH! You wanted my last name too! Well, I'm Charlotte Bumbery."

"Well Charlotte Bumbery, I am Percy Weasley, I'm in Gryffindor, and this is my friend Oliver Wood, he's in Gryffindor too," He nodded to a tall boy with brown hair, holding a book called, Quidditch Through the Ages, who was smiling at her, "and this is Rachel Prewett, she's going to be a first year this year, she's my cousin," He gestured to a small girl with short red hair who smiled shyly at Charlotte.

"Well, I guess I must be on my way now, back to my compartment, you can come if you want Rachel, I'm sitting with some other kids our age," Charlotte said heading for the door, then turning back around to say, "Nice book Oliver," then she left to go back to her compartment, with Rachel following her.

"See you later Percy," Rachel whispered on her way out, to which the older boy nodded.

12:30 PM, Same Day

Diary,

Well, I met this girl, Rachel Prewett, she's really nice, and much more talkative than Penelope, so, I finally have a girl to talk to on the train, but right now, she's gone to the bathroom, so I have some time to write.

When I left you, I had gone to explore right? Oh yes, well, I was walking around the train, when this boy with dark brown hair falling over his eyes started to follow me. I quickly ran into the nearest compartment to hide from him. There I met, Rachel and two Gryffindors. One was Rachel's cousin, Percy Weasley, I think. The other was this boy holding a quidditch book. I have not told you before diary, but I love quidditch, I mean I LOVE it! It's so thrilling. I believe that boy's name was Oliver Wood, and well, he wasn't hard on the eyes, if you catch my drift.

Oh, Rachel's back, I've got to go, I'll write more later.

5:45 PM, Same Day

Diary,

I do not have much time to write this, as all of us are waiting to be sorted, but I have a few comments.

When Prew (That's what I call Rachel) and I began to talk about Percy, Penelope looked up from her book, it turns out they met at Diagon Ally, and she has a crush on him. Well, he really isn't my type, he seems like such a bore, but to each her own, is what I say.

Oh, and I think Prew has a crush on Diggs (Cedric is his given name, but I give people nicknames, so deal with it. Heh), and Rodger seemed to be staring at Prew a lot. UH-OH! Love triangle. AH! MY LIFE'S BECOMING A SOAP-OPERA!

Oh, I've got to go, we're about to be sorted!

Later,

Charlotte (The girl in a soap opera)

9:47 PM, Same Day

DIARY,

I'M IN GRYFFINDOR! YAY! DAD WILL BE SO HAPPY! MUM WON'T BE PLEASED, BUT I DON'T CARE! I'M IN GRYFFINDOR!

Okay, now that I've got that out of my system, I have to tell you a few things, Penelope and Rodger are in Ravenclaw, oh well, I'll still see Penny at meals and classes so it isn't too bad. Diggs is in Huffelpuff, aww, Prew is gonna miss him! (haha) Prew and I are in Gryffindor, along with Emily Pappas, Jessica Finke, Josh Cohen, Sean Valli, Douglas Green, and Richard Williams.

Here's some information about my fellow Gryffindor first years:

Rachel Prewett (Prew): Short red hair, blue eyes, pale skin, around four foot eleven, quite skinny (skinner than me). Kind hearted, quite talkative and friendly.

Emily Pappas (Emms): shoulder length brown hair, clear blue eyes, wears glasses, is so going to be a flirt when she gets older, she is about one inch taller than me, she's erm, "Filled Out" if you know what I mean. She has very tan skin as well. She seems smart enough, but not quite as smart as Prew or me, she also seems kinda mean, but that's my opinion.

Jessica Finke (JFunk): long blonde hair, hazel eyes, is very bubbly, but seems like she could be quite serious at times. She's around four foot eight (yes I know quite short), with medium tan skin. She is a little plump, but quite kind, I think. Well, she seems quite nice though.

Josh Cohen (Joc): short tan colored hair, dark brown eyes, tall, around five foot four (What? We're eleven for goodness's sake!), thin, seems strong, seems quite sweet, a little perverted at times, but an all around nice guy I guess.

Sean Valli (Valls): long blonde hair, grey eyes, around five foot three, muscular, seems like quite the ladies man. The girls seem attracted to him. Although, I'm not that attracted to him.

Douglas Green (Greens): short, spiky brown hair, forest green eyes, around Sean's height, thin, very quiet, hasn't talked much, so I don't know much about him.

Richard Wiliams (Richy): medium length red hair, brown eyes, around Emily's height (those two seem to know each other from before Hogwarts), friendly, has a goofy smile, likes to watch pranks, easy-going but seems like he has a bad temper.

So those are the Gryffindors in my year. Oh, remember I told you about my "stalker" well, he turns out to be Adrian Pucey, and he's in Slytherin, ew. Oh well.

I'm off to bed,

Bumbs.

A/N: Well, did you like it? I REALLY hope you liked it! This is fun to write, I know it seems more serious than "The Return of Charlotte Bumbery", but I'm trying to make it funnier! that is my goal! MUAHAHAHAHA! well, I hope you liked it! (Don't forget to review!)
