A Slytherin Diary
September 1st, 1986
Today was my first day at Hogwarts. My parents said it would be just like any other school I'd been to before this, but how could that be possible? They'd never gone here. Both of them went to Drumstang who knows where.
The train ride wasn't that bad, actually I enjoyed it quite a bit. My first thought was of course to find a compartment to myself since I didn't know anyone going to the school. I ended up finding one in the back of the train but a few moments later someone came in. Her name was Stephanie. We ended up spending the whole train ride together. She said the school was amazing, both of her older brothers went there. When she explained the houses I got a bit nervous, I hoped we'd end up in the same one.
When we'd finally gotten into the dining hall (by the way, the ride across the lake was amazing. The castle looked so magical (ha ha)), an old looking teacher told us to line up and wait to be sorted. Stephanie was called up and sorted into Hufflepuff. When the hat called my name I thought I was going to die of embarrassment, then it shouted Slytherin. I got up and walked over to the green table, Stephanie had told me a lot of bad things about it.
The feast was amazing though, I made a few new friends that were in my year. Some other third years came and threatened us but left when one of the teachers walked by. Everything else in the castle seemed like they did in my other schools (my parents sent me to a few before to prepare for this one.) Ghosts flying around, candles floating, pictures talking.
Our common room was also very decorated. It was silver and green everywhere. Even the fire was. That was something I'd never seen. My parents never really lit a fire any where around me. I wonder why..
Well I should stop writing for now. It's almost curfew, and I don't want to get a detention my first day. I hope that I'll fit into this house. By the way Stephanie described it, it seems pretty horrid. Oh well, I'll just have to let time tell won't I?

A/N: Another little one-shot I felt like writing. I don't know if this one is so good either. But it just came to me. I should keep writing my other story Of Death Eaters and Blood Traitors though..
