Dear Diary,

it's been a long time since I wrote a diary. I guess there's a valid reason for that, I mean, the last one I had turned out to be evil. That was years ago, so I'm giving this another stab. I'm not going to mention any names

in here, just in case this falls into the wrong hands later on. Who am I kidding, there are no wrong hands anymore. Life is loads better now, I mean, I'm of age, the bad guy's been defeated. I still can't say his name,

might still have the taboo on it, and who knows what'll happen. I think life will start returning to normal again. A few of the shops that closed down have reopened. That's the first thing we noticed when we went to get

my school materials. The school's mostly been rebuilt and we ALL know who the Headmistress is this year. I'm still not sure what I want to do with my life. I'm thinking about maybe being a healer? My marks were

high enought to take N.E.W.T. levels in healing and such. Or I could get a ministry job? I think dad would like that a little too much, being a healer's less dangerous anyway.

Last year was an insane amount of danger, and a lot of other things. My brother got married, my other brother died, and the biggest git came back to the family. It's a lot for a girl to take in. Do you think I

should list names, Diary? It might make things easier, but at the same time, being a bit paranoid seems to have gotten me this far. It might have just been luck though, lots and lots of luck, and my friends. Speaking of

friends, you know who, not THAT one, asked me out again. I said yes, of course, how could I not, I mean, I really like him! He's going to be seeing me off to school, along with mum, and the boys, and...oh, this no

name thing is too hard! Okay, mum, Ron, Hermoine, George, maybe, I'm not sure, he's gone a little soft in the head since Fred...was..died. But back to what I was saying, Harry's seeing me off to school, I wish he was

coming too, but he did kind of drop out for a year...he's talking about taking some tests, see if he can still be an auror or not. I'm not sure what I think of that, they might just give him the job since he's, you know, Harry

Potter and he did beat you know who. So that makes two of my brothers, that are still alive, that didn't finish school. Hermoine didn't either, so I wonder what she's going to do, probably something in the muggle world.

Right now I think she's too busy snogging Ron to think about that. Oh, got to go, Diary, mum's yelling about socks...not quite sure what about them, but I think I heard my name.
