Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter or any of the story line associated with it the closest I come is sharing a birthday with him.
AN: This is the first fic I have written, and my sister is totally to blame. She first introduced me to potterverse and eventually to fan fiction I resisted for a long time before I succumbed to it all. So this fic is dedicated to her.

Dear Diary
I am Lily-Ann and today is my eleventh birthday. This diary is a present given to me by my aunt and uncle although my uncle didn't seem to like the idea very much and gave me some very strange advice if you could even call it advice, he said
"Diaries are ok as long as they don't start writing back."
But then my aunt and uncle had always been a bit odd compared to my friends' relatives, but they wouldn't be my family if they weren't a bit odd and copared to the rest they are relatively normal.
I've never had a diary before and I'm quite excited by it but my aunt's note at the beginning of this diary has made me wonder what her reason for it was, I must ask her what she means by it. I know I am going to a new school this year and it will mean a whole new life for me but she is the one that persuaded me to go for it, so why does she sound so scared.

To My Darling Niece,
Eleven is such an important age and the coming year will give you so much to think about and some things you never believed you will come across and not be able to understand straight away.
I want you to remember that your uncle and I love you deeply.
Love
Aunt Hermione

Before I start talking about the future I might start this diary with a recap what has happened to get me to my 11th birthday.
To start with I haven't always lived with my Aunt Hermione and Uncle Ron; it became my home when I was 4. Before that I lived with my parents, who have been missing ever since. I don't have many memories of them, although all my family insist that I look exactly like my mother with my father's eyes.
All I remember of the day they left is that I went to sleep in my own house and woke in my aunt and uncles living room to lots of people talking. At that age all I was told is that I would be living with them for a little while, I suppose 7 years could be a little while in the big scheme of things. I haven't really been told much more about my parents every time I try to find out more my aunt and uncle change the subject. They have only ever told me that they don't know what happened but they love having me here and that my parents love me wherever they are. I know all that I do but I just wish I knew more.
So I live with Aunt Hermione, who is a librarian but not just any librarian, her library is quite possibly the biggest one in the world! I have spent most of my school holidays amongst the shelves. Uncle Ron however works in the government. All top secret so I don't know what he actually does which is very cool but also very annoying when he is whispering with my aunt all the time and I'm not allowed to know what its all about. They seem to be doing it an awful lot recently, and fighting more.
Apart from my family my life is just a normal one, I have been at Lion Heart primary school up until June this year when I took the 11+ and passed it in the top 2 of the whole region. I'm really happy I enjoy studying so much, making me just as weird as my family, I know. My aunt says I get it from her which is our little private joke because we love having the nature vs. nurture debate as we are not genetically related. I must admit that I'm not all brains, I'm a bit of a tom-boy too I love playing sports at school, and can run circles around most of the boys.
Its getting late and I don't know why but I have a feeling tomorrow is going to be a busy day.
Lily Ann Potter
A/N- Lily Ann maybe about to retract her wish follow her as she finds out things she would never have guessed about her family.
Just a quick note as well that my sisters friend is almost equally to blame as she was willing to read this story and suggest I put it up for you all to read.
Please Review and keep tuned for Lily Ann's next entry.
