This Is James' Diary.

Hey,

This year is THE year. I'm gonna get Lily Evans and us Marauders are gonna wreak more havoc than Hogwarts has ever seen!

Tomorrow's the 1st of September. The first day back at school. I haven't seen Lily in about 2 months. I miss her.

And her hair. I love her hair. Almost as much as Sirius loves his. I love the way it sparkles in the sun if I move my head just a tiny bit to the left when she's sitting in front of me in Charms. And her eyes. Those beautiful, amazing, sparkling, startling, gorgeous, spectaculor, green eyes. And no, I am not obsessed. No matter how many times Padfoot tells me I am.

Anywayyyy, Padfoot has been staying at my house all holidays. 'Cause he ran away. He says he's fine whenever I ask and puts on his "Leave-me-alone I-can-handle-myself" face so I back off. But still, he's my best mate and I can tell he's cut up.

Ok, I know you're wondering why I, James Potter formally known as Prongs, (one of the) Hogwarts Heartthrobs + (the only)Gryffindor Quidditch Hero (and alot of other names I've been given over the years by my admirers, most of which are inappropriate.) is writing in a diary. Well it's because Shona gave us all a diary for Christmas and she knew that Remus, Peter and Lily would write in them but she knew Sirius and I wouldn't. 'Cause we're just too cool like that. Anyway she jinxed it so we have to write in it at least once a week or we get these massive pimples on our backs that spell out slack. That wouldn't be too bad if they didn't ooze purple puss. I was getting sick of my mother asking me why all my clothes are stained purple so here I am.

Y'know, this isn't so bad. I always have a lot of things in my head but normally I just go flying to clear it but this could be better. And when I'm all old and married to Lily with heaps of kids, I'll read this to them. Padfoot's writing in his diary too. And he's mumbling alot. Sounds like death threats.

"Hey Padfoot, how's it going mate?" I asked.

"I am going to kill Shona," He muttered. He actually looked kind of crazy so I got up and slowly took his quill and diary.

"Aren't we all?" I said as I did that.

"Honestly, these damn pimples are killing me!" Sirius said.

"What, haven't yours gone yet?" I asked. "Mine went as soon as I wrote 3 paragraphs..."

"I've written about a thousand paragraphs and they're still bloody there!"

"Lemme see," I said and read through what he'd written.

Mostly it was stuff about Shona and how stupid she was to give him a diary and that he was never gonna use it.

"I think you actually have to write in it like normal people do," I told him as if he was a 3 year old. He grunted, wrote for a while, felt his back, sighed, and fell asleep.

He's so stupid. Can't he tell that Shona's in love with him? Everyone else can. But noo, he still thinks she's in love with me. Pfft, she liked me for like a week in our first year but then we became friends and she's liked him ever since!

I'm so bored. I guess I could tell you about my summer. Well mostly Sirius and I played quidditch and swam in our pool. We even tried to play quidditch in our pool. It didn't work.

Oh, and I had a "fling" with a girl called Millie. Or was it Mathilda? Eh, it started with M anywayBut as usual it didn't mean anything. I'm not a playa or anything. I just never take girls seriously. Padfoot is Hogwarts biggest playa thats for sure. He could get pretty much an girl in Hogwarts to go out with him..It's not that I can't.. I just choose not to. I have had girlfriends..Hell I've had alot of girlfriends. But I only go out with them because Sirius wants me to forget about Lily but I just can't. Normally the girlfriends last for about 2 weeks and normally I do the dumping. But last time, Louise dumped me! Yeah I know! Crazy. All because I kinda called her Lily when we were kissing. Girls are so touchy.

Well I am really really bored. I'm gonna owl Shona. Yeah it's 2 in the morning but she always replies.. Our conversation is below:

Hey Sho,

What're you doing?

James

James,

Aww you know...just what every other person does at 2 in the morning.

TRYING TO SLEEP! But I've always got time for you, so whats on your mind?

Sho.

S,

Whats on my mind? How about you have a guess. 3 things.

J.

J,

Hmm 3 things. Well Lily and quidditch, obviously. By the way, are you quidditch captain again? And I have no idea what the last thing is.

S.

Shona,

Yeah, Lily and Quidditch. The last thing is ice. I have no idea why I'm thinking about ice. Please explain.

J.

PS. Yeah I'm quidditch captain. Bow down.

J,

Ice? Well that is normal. ;)

Hmm, well obviously it means you want to live in Antarctica. So pack your bags and I'll see you next summer.

S.

PS. Bow down? Only your fan club does that. Not me.

S,

Ehh you're such a funny girl. Haha NO.

James

Jamsey Boy,

Naww baby, you know I love you!

So will I save you a seat tomorrow?

Shona

HOW MANY TIMES DO I NEED TO TELL YOU!

DO NOT CALL ME JAMSEY.

Anyway, what makes you think you need to save me a seat? I can get my own seat. I'm 16 Sho, I'm a big kid now.

J.

James,

Fine, I wont call you Jamsey. CoughINSECUREcough

What makes me think that? Only the fact that you're always late.

I am not always late! I'm always early!
Pfft!

I bet you ten galleons that tomorrow everyone will be on the train and you and Sirius will burst through the barrier. You'll be on the left and Sirius will be on the right. You'll walk quickly to the train and you'll be messing your hair up and Sirius will be looking bored. Just like every other year.

Fine. You're on!

Well I'm gonna try and catch some sleep, so I'll see you tomorrow.

James.

James,

Okay princess, night night.

PRINCESS!?

Night James.

That girl is so frustrating. I am not a princess.

Haha we're good friends. Whenever I need girl help, I always go straight to her. She knows everything. Although nothing she says has ever worked on Lily, it works on all the other girls I want to fall in love with me. Or maybe thats just me. Hmm.

And we bet on everything. Well not Shona..But us Marauders do. Everything. Quidditch, girls, weather, dinner, everything.

Anyway I'm off to bed now.

Catcha,

James
