August The Eighteenth Mundane Year Nineteen Seventy One

I tried to take my wand today because I wanted to try to do some of Gabriella's magic because I was really bored so I sneaked into Gabriella's room b ut she noticed me and gave me a stupid long lecture. I really really don't like her. She took MY wand away and gave me her stupid useless magic book and told me she wouldn't tell me because she understands but I have to be patient.

She doesn't understand anything. She doesn't know anything. She's really bad at cooking. all she does is read and draw. I really don't like her.

I'm sitting in my room now with her magic book. It's really boring. It has almost three inches worth of pages explaining boring transfiguration theory.

I know how transfiguration works.

You just have to visualise the change and then it happens. I've done it 'accidentally' tons of times. I didn't read any of it, obviously. It's really boring.

Later on the same day but the date is too long to write out.

I really actually do not like my mother.

I heard her talking to Gabriella(because she is so perfect) when I was going downstairs to steal a cookie and she said she is going to send me to Aunt Greta's house because she thinks the excitement and being cooped up in side are not a good combination. She thinks it'll be a nice surprise.

It won't be a surprise. It won't be nice. Aunt Greta's house is boring and she is boring and she always thinks I'm going to kill myself. Not like commit suicide but like fall off of something.

She'll probably make me come along with her when she goes calling and talk to her friends.

I don't like Aunt Greta's friends. They're all old condescending people.

I read in a book once about slaves and they went up into the attic in their house and hid there and then they escaped that way with a disguise. I want to do that only my house's attic is too hot. I have to eat lunch now. I don't like my family.

I'm at Aunt Greta's house now. She gave me the tower room in her house. Not outside her house obviously. There's a really pretty view from here. I can see all the hills.

I pretended to be surprised about coming here because otherwise Mother would have been all disappointed and lectury. She came into my room this morning and then she told me about it so I just told her yay because I was pretending to be happy and surprised.

Aunt Greta says we'll go to visit the Longbottoms tomorrow morning because she is good friends with Mrs. Longbottom. It will be really boring.

She says we'll buy icecream afterwards. I do sort of want ice cream.

But I really don't like Mrs. Longbottom. I heard her tell my mother once that she thinks I'm foolish and overly rambunctious.

I will never forgive her. I'm not going to talk to her.

Aunt Greta also said when we arrived that she will take me flying. And mother couldn't say no because Aunt Greta is older than her. But she'll probably make me fly low and talk about stupid stuff. She's really obsessed with flowers. It's really creepy. She knows the names of every flower in the universe, I think. She has huge books of flowers everywhere. There is a book about species of orchids on my dresser in this room.

It has pictures. I'm going to read some fo it because I'm bored and I'm tired of writing. I'm not going to write in here anymore.

I'm back from Aunt Greta's. I hate really don't like my house. Aunt Greta is much nicer then my family. She bought me a lot of icecream and took me flying only she never lets me fly high. She's really annoying.

But Mother never takes me flying. She's really boring.

I'm allowed to go outside again anyway. I'm sitting in an apple tree looking at Hogwarts. I tried to steal Gabriella's telescope to look at it with but then she caught me. She told me I could use it but she wants it back.

I have considered breaking it.

But I won't. If I did, I'd get in trouble. I don't even know how Gabriella always catches me when I try to take her stuff. She always finds out. It's really creepy. Gabriella is a weirdo.

Actually she probably charmed her door or something.

I'm going to try climbing in her window. It'll be fun. I'm bored. I'm eating an apple. It's really delicious. Mother told me not to eat any yet because we should only harvest them when they're all ripe. I'm eating one anyway.

I really like sweet food.

I'm going to go swimming. I'm hot.

August The Twenty Sixth Mundane Year Nineteen Seventy One

I really really do not like Gabriella. She is stupid and mean. I'm sitting in my room because she locked me in here. She packed all my books and stuff for me and then she was all like I am fed up and she locked me in and told me to pack my clothes for Hogwarts.

She has no right to tell me what to do. she's not even a grownup! She's only fourteen! I really don't like her!

I don't even know where my Hogwarts robes are. Mother put them away somewhere. I'm not going to pack my trunk.

I didn't even need her to pack my trunk. I had it under control. there are still four days until we leave. It's not like this is even important. We live in sight of the school. If I forget something I can come back on the weekend to get it.

I'm really bored.

I made a swing by tieing one of my sheets to the curtain rod that holds my bad hangings. Only then it broke and I fell and hit my head. My head really hurts now.

If I was allowed to use my wand I could have just charmed it and then NOTHING would have happened. This is my mother's fault.

I'm really bored. I found some of my Hogwarts robes and put them on and then I put the rest of them into my trunk.

I took the robes off again because if Gabriella goes and barges in here she'll give me a stupid lecture because they;re not supposed to be worn before school.

They look really boring anyway because I haven't been sorted yet. They're just black.

Gabriella came in and brought me new sheets. They're ugly and black.

She told me they'll change colour depending on what house I'm sorted into. then she said she hopes they'll turn blue soon.

I am NOT going to be a Ravenclaw! I am not going to be in the same house with Gabriella!
I don't even have to talk to her at school.

I'm not going to talk to Gabriella when I'm at school. She noticed that all my bed linen is on the floor after she gave her lecture about her charmed sheets and then she lectured me about neatness.

And then she told me there would be no one to clean up after me at Hogwarts.

That is a LIE.

Hogwarts has just as many house elves as we do. Mother is calling to me to come down and eat dinner now. I was going to make a rope out of my sheets and sneak out my window because I saw that in a book once and I'm bored. I have to go now.
