The whale lied to me! Not that I'm surprised. Mum and Dad weren't reckless; they didn't die in a car crash. They were killed! By the same guy who tried to kill me. The one that I stopped. The one that gave me this silly looking scar. The one that made me famous.
Not sure I'm going to like being famous. From the small snippets of the news I've seen on TV over the years, famous people do seem to get harassed a lot. I really hope that the wizarding world aren't like that.
Speaking of, here's something interesting. I am a wizard; not one of those crazy stage magicians, an actual wizard. I'm going to go to school to learn how to be a proper one as well, or I hope I am, the Dursleys don't want me to go. Hagrid thinks I should be pretty good once I've been at Hogwarts for a few years.
I'm pretty sure Hagrid isn't human, or at least not fully human. Maybe he's part giant. I wonder what other 'mythological' creatures are actually real.
Magic is awesome. I can't wait to see what else I can do with it.
Dudley's curly tail was funny. I guess there wasn't much to change to make him into a pig, maybe the ears too.
Better try to get some sleep, we've got a long day of shopping tomorrow. I wonder where we're going to get all this stuff. I don't think you can find eye of newt at the local Boots.
Oh, there are those dormice Hagrid mentioned.
Mum and Dad, I miss you.
AN: Thanks to 'The Foreigner' for looking over my shoulder while writing this.
