Wow first HP fanfiction. Oops, broke my own rule. I don't like to call this one a 'fanfiction' per se because its not really in the usual way of stories.
I'm not a HP genius or anything so I apologise if at any point in this story I make a mistake for whatever reason, whether it be locations of classrooms or you, as the reader, just don't like certain points where I've taken artistic licence and went with the flow.
Onto the story............
Dear heart,
I've never really kept a diary before, but father said I should start one and he sent me this journal for my 12th birthday.
Father said he has to keep his feelings inside, so they stay safe and he said I should do the same, to keep them safe, but also so I don't get hurt.
But father also says that I have too much of my mother in me to hold them deep inside. So he suggested a diary, so that I could write down all my thoughts and feelings and keep them hidden. I wonder is she kept a journal. I never knew my mother and nor do I know much about her. Father says its dangerous for me to know. I do have one photo of her though. She's very young in it, probably about my age, so it must be an old photo. But I cherish it. She was very beautiful. Father says I look a lot like him (black hair, black eyes, sallow skin (looks that I learnt can come in helpful at school, Hogwarts, because my father is the potion's master and none of the other students particularly like him)) but father also says that some of my mother's 'softness' (as he calls it) remains in my face. Probably a good thing; I don't have his hooked nose for instance. (smiles)
All I know is my mother gave me to my father when I was one year old. I suppose it was something to do with the war.
Anyway, I'm on the Hogwarts Express right now, on my way home after my first year. I loved it. Can't wait to go back.
Oh, we've just arrived back in London, write later.
Evie…
AN: I won't go into too many details as to what Evie's story actually is (I'll let her explain it) but if you, as the reader, think there are certain details I should point out to make it easier to read, just drop a line in a review please. :)
