Dear Diary,

I cannot say how cool it was to ride the Hogwarts Express. It is a big red locomotive with a ton of cars on it. I guess that made sense because it had to carry 7 years worth of kids to Hogwarts.

I met up with Alice and James on the train and we also sat with this girl named Alex and these two boys named Remus and Peter. All of them except Alex were from wizarding families. Alex and I are what they call "muggle-born". Basically, this means that our families are Muggles, (or non-magic). It was good to know that I wasn't the only one in our year that was muggle born. Anyways, we became friends on the train. I had hope that we are all in the same house and we are, but I'm getting ahead of myself.

We were met by this giant man named Hagrid. He seems nice enough but I don't know yet. Then the castle, a REAL one, came into view. It was AMAZING! Not joke, it was real. It was like something out of the Renaissance or middle Ages. The castle is HUGE also. I don't know how I will ever find my way around. Anyway, a Professor with a very strict look on her face came to meet us at the entrance hall. I found out later that she was Professor McGonagall and teaches transfiguration (turning something into another thing) and is as strict as anything. She is also the head of Gryffindor House.

We were sorted into what House we are in. There are about 30 first year students in total; 8 are in Gryffindor. Before I say who is in Gryffindor, I probably should say how we were sorted. First a hat sang a song describing each house then we came up one my one and put in on our heads. Then it shouted loud and clear what house we are in. Then we would go sit by our table.

So the 8 of us in Gryffindor House are: James Potter, Alex O'Reilly, Sirius Black, Peter Pettigrew, Alice St. Clair, Julia Brown, Remus Lupin and I, Lily Evans. James has dark brown scraggly hair that I don't think he has ever run a comb through, dark eyes and seems a bit cocky. Alex is Irish and has red hair and green eyes. She is really pretty and kind of tall too. Sirius is also as cocky as hell and, if I didn't know better, I'd have said that he and James were brothers since he also has dark hair but blue eyes, very clear blue eyes. Peter is this stubby little kid with blond hair and a mousy look to him. I'm not saying that to be mean, it's true. Alice has blond hair and is also quite pretty. I think that she also has a crush on this guy a year older that I saw her staring at during the welcome feast. I heard someone call him Frank. I agree that he is a bit cute but I don't know what she sees in him, well at least not now.

Well, that's all I think for now and I am so tired that I will write more tomorrow. Good night!

A/N: I know it was short but I am doing a double update tonight so calm down ok. I'm doing one entry per chapter so some will be short... Well R+R or I won't keep writting!... and that goes for all my stories...
