1993
Dear Diary,
My best friend was petrified today. They say she'll be okay when they harvest the mandrakes in the greenhouses but I don't know why they can't just bring in some mandrake potion from somewhere else? Surely they stockpile this stuff in case a monster is let loose in a building full of children, right?
Dear Diary,
they still haven't shut the school. After three people have been paralysed. I'm starting to think that no one on the outside knows what's happening and that's why the victims haven't been taken to an actual hospital instead of just being kept in the Nurse's office.
1994
Dear Diary,
There's a serial killer on the loose in the school. For some reason, the police aren't investigating, but they have sent a bunch of Sadness-Monsters to float about pointlessly and occasionally induce depression. Professor Dumbledore said they're just as likely to attack us as they are criminals so I wonder how they're classified as guards and not feral animals.
Dear Diary,
Today I found out that Professor Lupin had taught Harry Potter a way to ward off the Dementors. I don't know why he didn't teach that to the rest of us. In fact, I think that really there should have been an assembly teaching every student how to cast that spell in case the Dementors try to goad us into killing ourselves.
1995
Dear Diary,
Someone died in this contest they held at school.
Also, it turned out another one of our teachers was a murderer today. I have to admit, I kind of suspected something when he tortured living spiders in front of us despite expressly telling us it was illegal.
I really don't want to attend here, but mum says it's the only school in the country.
1996
Dear Diary,
Today, Harry Potter and his friends invited me to join a fight club. I don't know what they think school is for.
They said we need to learn to defend ourselves, which I guess is true, but I got the impression that they wanted us to try the spells out on each other and that's a horrible idea. Also, I'm not sure I trust the boy who's been shouting in class and breaking things all year to run something like that- it seems to me like he has anger issues.
Dear Diary,
Today they cancelled Quidditch. Oh no. Oh what a shame. This is such a travesty. I really hope they bring it back soon. I just can't live without bloody Quidditch.
Signed,
Nobody
Dear Diary
We've got a new headmistress and everyone hates her because she's really strict, but I hope that this way there may be less spider torture in the classroom. And maybe fewer teachers will turn out to be mass-murderers.
1997
Dear Diary,
Harry Potter is cheating in Potions. It's really unfair on the rest of us. I want to call him out on it but I hear he slashed Draco in the toilets and now I'm kind of afraid of him.
1998
Dear Diary,
there was a shootout in my school today. I went to hide in a cupboard, and I found myself in a land filled with snow and talking animals.
It sucks.
