CHAPTER 2

September 1, 1978

Great Hall

So here I am, bored and doodling for something to do. The "Ickle firsties" as Peeves so charmingly put it are being sorted into their houses. Haha, I know I shouldn't find this funny, being head girl and all, but it was so good to watch! As they came through the entrance to the great hall, Peeves started pelting water bombs at all of their heads! They were so bewildered that they just stood there, poor things. Hehe.

The bloody baron came along then, and Peeves went off cackling like a madman, which he is, of course I had to try to remain dignified, and not laugh, so I didn't seem irresponsible, but James was laughing his head off, and then said something to peeves as he went past, running away from the BB.

Yes! We're up to Ullman, Robert (Gryffindor!) Not too many to go now.

6:35

La la la…Im so bored, and hungry! I never got around to eating breakfast, and chocolate frogs and cauldron cakes don't exactly fill you up.

My stomach just growled and Yolanda giggled at me. I poked my tounge out at her, but I think James saw. Daym.

Speaking of James, he keeps glancing at me and smiling. He's sitting about 3 seats away. Maybe Ive got something in my hair. Better check!

6:37

Nope. Unless Kathy's mirror is a trick mirror or something, and my hair is actually painted green… I wouldn't be surprised. And it would be just like my great matey mates not to tell me.

"Zulman, Zachary"

"Slytherin!"

Yes! The sortings over, give me FOOOD!

7:45

After I had eaten some of my very big meal, stuffing food into my mouth like a pig, I asked my friends how their summers had been. (They didn't seem as hungry as me, so were eating at a normal pace.)

Leslie and her dad had been to a "muggle makreet" where they got new clothes, and quoting her dad 'wonderful muggle objects'. She said it was 'magical'. I groaned at her pun, if you could even call it that. " Do you mean 'market'?" I asked, rolling my eyes.

"THAT'S THE ONE! How did you know?"

"Muggle born, remember???" I replied.

The others hadn't done much exciting. Yolanda had been to a big pure blood party for her dads work, and hated it. Mostly because Malfoy, Lestrange and Black had all been there, plus their other 'death eater friends.' I glanced over at the Slytherin table, they looked sullen.They had rings around their eyes, and looked as if they'd been dead for a few hundred years. OK. Maybe I'm exaggerating a little.

Kathy had gone to France with her family, so that was cool. Did I mension she has a little brother, Rolland. He's in Ravenclaw, 5th year. SUCK, OWLs! Waaiit…we have NEWTs. Damn.

Monica had done the same as me- nothing. Though she said she helped her mum out at the beauty parlor, and probably got about a hundred makeovers. What exciting lives we lead.

8:00

Ahh, happy, content and full. That is me. Now I've got to listen to Dumbly's speech.

"Welcome to another year at Hogwarts! The first for some and the last for others. Just a couple of start-of-term notices: First years should note that the forest on the grounds is forbidden to all students. Some of our older ones would do well to remember that too." He glanced over at James and Sirius, smiling, and their expressions became innocent surprise.

"I have also been asked to remind you all by Mr. Filch that no magic should be used between classes in the corridors." I scoffed, as if anyone would listen to that. "And all products bought at Zonko's, are not to be used in school time. All products in use during school hours will be confiscated." Some of the first years looked confused.

"And finally, after much consideration I and the other members of the staff have decided to abolish the Prefects rights to dock house points, for we believe that this right has been abused by certain members." (I swear he looked at the Slytherins.)

A chorus of surprise echoed around the hall after this announcement.

"I would also like to introduce you to our new head girl and boy: Lily Evans and James Potter!" I turned instantly red, and I looked down at my lap. James on the other hand stood up and bowed with a flourish, to enthusiastic clapping and laughter. Over the applause I heard some booing. I hoped it was just the Slytherins.

"Yes yes, congratulations to you both. Now off to bed everyone!"

Time to go, I'll write more later!

Dormitary

9:30

Phew, glad that's over. Now I can sleep, yay! I will just write what happened first:

James and I had to go to McGonnigal and get the passwords for each house. (Oh yeah, now we can sneak into any of them and trash the place! Shut UP brain.)

Then we had to run around through the crowd to each dormitary and tell the prefects the password. It was tiring- by the time we got to Slytherin they were all annoyed and waiting for us outside the door with their arms crossed and toes tapping. We made a fast escape from there I tell you!

Anyhow, I cant be bothered writing any more, Goodnight!
