Dear Diary,
My name is Lily Evans and I am about to start my seventh year at Hogwarts. I don´t really know what you should write on a diary, but my mom gave me this one because she thinks I should learn how to "express my feelings" better, and she thinks writing them down will help me on this matter. I don´t agree with her. Firstly because I do not have problems on expressing my feelings, and secondly because, if I had problems with that, writing "I love my life" or "I hate my life" every day wouldn´t help. But she´s my mom and I trust her. And also, because every day she asks me if I have already written something and I just can´t lie to her. So here I am.
I live with my parents and my sister. My parents are very nice and I get along with them very well. My dad is a bit overprotective and completely lost on everything related to the wizarding world but he tries to understand and that´s enough for me. My mom is the sweetest person in the world and she knows me more than I know myself. It´s great talking to her about Hogwarts because her sister was a witch so she knows a bit about it, and I can say more than three words without hearing a 'what?' or 'that doesn´t make any sense'.
I wish I could say all those nice things about my sister, Petunia, but I can´t. We were really close when we were young, but since I got my Hogwarts letter and she didn´t get one, she started to treat me differently, in a bad way. Now we don´t get along well, and I think that´s because I am a witch and she isn´t. But I try not to judge her for that because if I were on her shoes, I think I would´ve felt the same way and I would want to stay as far as I could from everything that belongs to this magic world, so I´d probably be the one dating Vernon today. By the way, have I mentioned him? Well, he is Petunia´s boyfriend and he is very… weird. He knows I´m a witch but he doesn´t like that at all. I think he doesn´t like it because who told him about my magical skills was my sister and she must have told him only what she thinks is good for him to know, and that means telling him that we are all freaks. But I do my best pretending he isn´t in the house and that helped me not wanting to kill myself as he spent all summer here. Seriously. I´m not kidding.
But thank God next week is September 1st and I can come back to the one place I actually feel comfortable and at home: Hogwarts. I miss that place so much… I miss my friends, studying…everything! Well, maybe not everything. I don´t miss The Marauders at all. If you are wondering who those are, well, they are the four stupid boys who don´t care about anything besides playing pranks and snogging all the girls on the planet. Actually, Remus Lupin, one of the Marauders, is very nice and he doesn´t care about these things. I don´t even know why he likes to hang out with people so different from him. But the other three boys are completely ridiculous. Sirius Black is the biggest manwhore in the history of Griffyndor and that´s all you need to know about him (see what an interesting person he is). Peter Pettigrew is weird guy. I have no idea why he is a Marauder but he gets completely amazed by anything James does and I don´t think Potter would ever dump a fan. Oh, here we are… talking about James Potter. He is the worst of all, because he doesn´t only play his stupid pranks and does the other silly things his friends do. He asks me out every single day and keeps hexing everyone that crosses his path. He is just terrible. I hate him.
I could write more, but this whole Potter thing made me sick and now all I want is some sleep.
Love always,
Lily Evans
