Disclaimer: We own only Rowan, Ophelia and Igor. JK Rowling owns everything else; except Rupert and his friend. Can you guess who we err borrowed them off? Inspired by the v.fab Bridget Jones Diary and Mary-Lou's "Legolas Greenleaf's Diary". So in recap we own very little of this and are making no profit.

MY NEW YEARS RESOLUTIONS.

+ Not to be expelled from school as think this is v.bad idea and will not be allowed to do more magic. Thus avoid becoming Hagrid because pink is not my colour. Can't believe I just wrote that.

+ Decide what to do with self after school.

+ Make Rowan happier. She is a lovely wonderful beautiful girl and have no idea why she dates me. I love her.

+ Be nicer to Snape. Well not try to kill him. Again. Will help make Rowan happy.

+ Think about things more clearly. There is a line between funny and dangerous. Just need to work out where it is exactly.

+ Do all homework when it's given as opposed to night before it's due in mad panic. Poss get better marks?

+ Write to parents every week not just when need money. Are old may die soon.

+ Never ever drink alcohol again. Have hangover. Head hurts.

Have sex in school. Determined to at least once before I leave, preferably before Prongs. With Rowan.

+ Stop being so competitive with Jamesie. Is v.unhealthy.

+ Stop being vain. Not my fault that have girls drooling after me, though can't blame them - whoops! Try again.



January 1st.

No pranks played: 45, excellent as alone. Far better than Prongs could do. No pranks discovered today: 15, everyone else at home for X-mas. No times I got in trouble: 3, v.good. No pranks to be discovered when others come back to school: 30. No resolutions broken: 2, not v.good as only Jan 1st.

10pm.

Not much happened. Got this diary from Mother for X-mas. Wonder why X-mas short for Christmas? Ask Moony, sure he'll know. He seems to know everything else.

Put dungbombs in Snape's cauldron. Should be interesting next Potions class, depending on whether he checks it first and what we're making.

Note to self: sit far away from the slimy git in next class, poss. hide behind Wormtail.

Also managed to hide all Binns's notes in the huge books that came into being with the World that he has in classroom.

Am v.proud of self as have managed to hide Filibuster firework in Wormtail's sponge. Serve him right for having a pink sponge bigger than his head. Also will be unlikely to get hurt as:

No-heat fireworks so can't burn

Peter can swim and anyway has plenty of fat for buoyancy.

Is unlikely James will let him drown if he faints in shock (has happened before) as James even saved Snape from being eaten by Remus in the incident which No-One-Will-Ever-Let-Me-Forget-But-Isn't-Spoken- Of.

Am haunted by knowledge that when I get married that story will be trotted out by Prongs in his best man speech. Am comforted by knowledge that have so much dirt on Prongs for my Best Man's speech. Ok, so doesn't involve homicidal pranks but does involve fleas and the sheep.

3am..

Actually don't think Moony would have eaten Snape. Is far too picky about his food and doesn't eat greasy stuff.

4am.

Worried that Wormtail could die and could be my fault. Am pleased as now obviously have conscience. Rowan will be proud of me. Am brilliant.

5am.

Am worried that am bit too proud of wonderful self.

No resolutions broken now: 4?

January 3rd. OTHERS BACK FOR NEW TERM.

No pranks played: 0, have hangover. No homicidal thoughts: 1645646, still none directed at Snape which is good as may be only resolution I keep but bad as mostly directed at Hagrid's dog and Mr. Norris. No pornographic thoughts about Rowan: too many to count.

Love Grandma who sent me brandy and whisky for Christmas but feel terrible as drank it all yesterday in fit of worry over the firework in Peter's sponge. As result too hangover to remove it before they came back. Actually was still asleep then Prongs dropped books on me and asked if I was dead.

Went down to dinner. Lily and Rowan asked if was ill. Told them truth, as world spinning so fast was too busy trying not to be sick to think of lie. Lily suggested Madame Pomfrey as a solution. Rowan suggested "hair of the dog that bit you", made friends laugh. Hate them all. Except Rowan. Who I love and want to do rude things with.

Back in common room; Rowan said she felt bad about me spending X-mas and New Year alone while she went to family party. Thought this meant I was getting lucky, but turned out she and Moony had smuggled Scotch and Firewhisky to school. Having mini-Hogmanay. Love them both! Rowan more though.

4am.

Lurve rOwan. Is esxy. Whoopsie. Notha rezo resalucian thingy brio ken. Lurve Rfindes. Esp jamessss but not ingay way. Drinkled weisski whiscy whiskiey

Beer.



January 4th,

6am.

Oh crap. Feel sick. And have forgotten to do Charms essay. Bugger. Never ever drinking again.

Night. Late.

No pranks played: 16. No pranks discovered: 46, where did the extra come from? Oh yeah, X-mas, bad. No of points lost: 20, worth it though when cauldron exploded. No detentions got: 3 hate trophy room, esp. T M Riddle and his stupid shield. No detentions Snape got: 1, but lasts for two weeks. Yes! No essays to do: about forty million: well 5.

Have found out that if you put Daniana, tomato seeds, Joe Pye Weed, lovage and Vervain into a cauldron with dungbombs the resulting explosion will destroy not only the cauldron but large part of the dungeons too. Wondered what Snape was making with them at lunchtime in the deserted bit of the dungeons; looked in library. All are potent aphrodisiacs - the Slimy one was making illegal love potions. Suppose only way he'll ever get lucky. Yuck! Now have v.disturbing mental pictures of Snape. Yuck! Yuck! Yuck!

Got three detentions; for the cauldron, fighting with Snape and for chucking things at people in Muggle Studies. Now regretting playing up so much Divination Professor whose name I never bothered to learn threw Prongs and me out of class. Am now stuck in class I hate with people I find boring. So I chuck bits of parchment and anything else I can find around. Muggle Studies is actually v.easy, which is probably why I'm bored. Had to polish trophies the muggle way. Mr. Norris the Evil Cat-monster from Hell kept jumping on this shield thing awarded to T M RIDDLE FOR SPECIAL SERVICES TO THE SCHOOL. Just because I kicked him last time I was invisible. Also when a dog I chased him up a tree. However have done Charms essay, with help from Rowan who is wonderful. Actually she wrote it for me. I love my girlfriend. In return am doing her Potions essay. Oh crap, better start. Will just give her mine because Moony has two and steal, ah borrow one.

In other news: Prongs and Lily had a fight and have broken up. Moony is seeing Ophelia again. Well, hope he is because they were looking v.biological in Charms classroom when I got out of detention. And Wormtail fell off James's broom. Will be out of Hospital Wing tomorrow. Hope he's done Charms Essay.

SINCE LAST ENTRY

No pranks played: 45, v.poor but have had lots of homework and friends too concerned with safety. No illegal activities engaged in: 1, animagus; well 2 if counting roaming wild with Moony. No times have been in fight: 6. No fights won: 5. No detentions: lots. No howlers from home: 1, Mum doesn't think I work hard enough, also she found out about Grans Christmas present and blames ME! Her mother sent it!!!!!!! No fights with Rowan: 12 like making out up.

Had detention again. Why do teachers not find pranks funny? Had lots of homework, so no diary for a while. Hate stupid NEWTS. Worse than OWLS. Hate stupid teachers and homework too. Hate stupid friends, esp. Prongs who laughed like drain when Igor Parkinson hexed me and made leeks grow out of ears. They will both pay.

On happier note; Rowan doesn't like Snape anymore because he was mean to Lily. Finally she has realized he is evil! Also got further than ever before, can't be long before I get lucky! But need to find new place for privacy, got caught by Wormtail and then Filch who heard the yelling. Are in trouble. Well I am, Row's a prefect so she's allowed to wander around school. They will both pay too.(Wormy and Filch, not Rowan) (And Snape will pay too, because I don't like him.)

Wormtail found firework last Friday. Didn't find it quite as funny as everyone else did. Neither did he faint or drown. Hope Filch doesn't notice bits of sponge stuck to ceiling in bathroom. Will be hard to explain.

+ Note to self: make following people pay:

Snape

Parkinson

Slytherin's in general

Filch

Prongs and Wormtail.

T. M. Riddle, just have to figure out who he is.

January 16th.

Am v.impressed. Came top in transfiguration test. Think may have overdone the boasting though because have managed to alienate all my friends. Am obviously brilliant. Who else could have used alienate correctly? Except Moony, who doesn't count because:

+ isn't reading my diary, I hope.

+ think ol' Remus ate a dictionary in one of his lycanthropic episodes (another big word there, am v.brilliant) so knows faaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrr too many long words.

In other news, Peter has again exceeded the world record for amount of food eaten in one sitting. Think the house-elves worship him as their deity. Put Mrs. Skower's All-Purpose Magical Mess- Remover in Snape's shampoo. Jamie and self are conducting and experiment to see if that stuff he calls hair is actually growing on his scalp under the grease or if the grease is actually holding a wig onto his head. Will tell Row, who always knows it was us, that we were trying to get rid of the extra grease we put in there. Admittedly that was four years ago but Sevvie can't wash his hair that often, so it's probably still there. Also in other news Snape said sorry to Lily and now Rowan, he AND Lily are mates. V.BAD, James in strop that the Slimy one is matey with his girlfriend. So am I.

4am

Found frogspawn flavoured Bertie Bott. Wormtail found what he claimed was shite flavour. Never ever ever want to know how he knows what poo taste's like. Never.

Have decided to stop keeping running totals of stuff because

+ is anal-retentive behavior

+ is boring.

In other news, think friends are reading diary as keep counting things ("ike no.words spoken today 2748347384730") and using alienate in conversation. Found new hiding place for diary.

Outside DUMBLDORES office!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Shaking too much to write will carry on later. Haven't been this worried since my attempt to add new and Slimy foods to Remus's diet.

Dormitory- Bedtime

This is what happened and why I am BANNED from the next Hog meads visit and have had 30 points taken from house. Plus Rowan, James and Lily will not talk to me, Rowan has told me to grow up and that she can look after herself as has top marks in DADA. All three will only address me as "Mr Black" and that is polite version.

I did what any boy would do if EVIL git Lestrange of Slytherin tried it on with girlfriend then pinched her bottom. Waited until Rowan had walked off after slapping him then I hit him! He hit me back and suddenly was engulfed by crowd of non-prefect friends including Rupert (who shares dorm with us) got several punches in and the crowd grew bigger now seemed all of School was there. This could have been due to Peeves rolling around yelling "FIGHT! FIGHT!" In manner of Quidditch chant. Then James and entire male complement of Prefects turned up (as prefect lounge is round corner and were having meeting) James and co pushed way through crowed to break up fight then Lestrange hit James. That was when Dumbldore tuned up in time to see Head boy being fist propelled into suit of armour- he (as Rupert put it) "Blew his stack" no wonder Voldy (You Know Who) is scared of him! I think I am too. Dumbldore had Lestrange in office before me he came out pale and v. scared looking as if he was surprised to still be alive, but wished he wasn't.

Dumbldore called me in and sat me down and just stared at me over top of specs for several seconds. This is what happened next

Him: So would you care to tell me your version of what happed Mr Black?

Me: ………….

Him: Sirius, I'm very disappointed in you I thought after the business with Misters Snape and Lupin you would of learned your lesson

Me: He stated it he pinched Rowan's Bu…. (Stop self from yelling bum into headmasters face)

Him: Be that as it may Mr Black but Miss McKinley had already "taken steps" as she put it and the matter was closed.

Me: I don't' like people like him trying it on with Row because…

Him: That is quite enough Mr Black,

Me: You didn't hear what he said

Him: MR BLACK! This matter is now closed. You will have 30 points taken from your house and you will not be going on the next trip to the village.

Is dark, sleeping now.

Feb 2nd

Am personne non grata. None of friends will talk to me, not even Wormtail. Who talks to his underwear.

Feb 3rd

Rupert has taken pity on me. Would I like to hang round with him and his friends one of whom is from Ravenclaw. See don't need them am fine on my own, have new friends. Miss my old ones though is no fun Marauding round Hogwarts at night on own. Rupert told me to sod off and that the night was for sleeping. He's no fun.

Feb 4th

Remus spoke to me today, told me that I was an idiot and had put James as head boy and Rowan as a Prefect in difficult possion by fighting as they are authority figures and have to up hold rules. Pointed out to Moony that we had all broken the rules dozens of times, Moony huffed at me that 'It simply not the same thing' and walked off. Not quite sure what he meant will ask Rupert to clarify. Rup said it was all to do with James public image "As head boy James cant be seen to condone fighting what ever the case". Would be sure Rupert was Moony in disguise if had not seen them both together in same room on daily basis.

Feb 5

Rupert is odd told me he was going to Oxford after Hogwarts and that he'd like to be a fighter pilot in the RAF but his father won't let him. Smile reassuringly at him as have no idre what RAF or fighter pilots are.

Peter told me that James would talk to me but Lily won't let him. Asked him why he was talking to me his answer "Because Lily and Rowan aren't here". James is hen pecked and he's not even married. Why is hen pecked, called that? Will ask Father he's bound to know. New friend from Ravenclaw is v. odd thinks demons are "Cool" am sure Sorting hat made mistake with this one, is defiantly a Slytherin.

Feb 6th

James, Lily, Remus and Rowan sat me down and spoke to me today each sepretly. Remus explained to me what he had meant, Rupert was right. James told much the same, as Remus and that I need to use the brain I was born with for more than just pranks. Lily told me that it was hard for all of them not talking to me but they thought it was only way I would learn. Rowan swept in to common room and kissed me so hard thought I'd pass out, then asked why I hadn't left things to her and that I couldn't always doing things like that and that one day unless I grew up a little bit I'd wind up in prison.

Suddenly realise that all friends are scarily grown up- with poss. exception of Wormtail who still giggles when the words "Bra" or "arse" are mentioned.

Don't what to be left behind I'm clever as they are. Will be both mature and funny. Am sure is possible to be both.
