A/N: Thank you so so much for the reviews! They were amazing. And to answer one of them, yes, I am planning to follow canon as much as possible, but we don't have much information about the Marauder era other than the Marauders played a lot of pranks, didn't like Snape, and that Lily hated James until maybe fifth/sixth year. Other than that, there's just a bunch of headcanons! Anyway, enjoy the second chapter of "The Marauder's Diary." :)
Dear Journal,
Life at Hogwarts has been horrid. Sure, the food is fantastic, but I never see Severus anymore and Potter and Black are in every single one of my classes! Luckily, I haven't had to talk to them at all, and when they try to talk to me, I turn my back or walk away. Unfortunately, I seem to be the only one to do so. Those two are getting to be pretty popular, especially with the girls. Even Alice has a soft spot for them!
Even earlier, I was sitting in the common room trying to finish up an essay on Astronomy with Alice (which is by far the single most useless class I've ever been in, by the way. And we're required to take it all the way up to seventh year! It's ridiculous.) Anyways, there I was, groaning about how long this was taking and scribbling down something about the North Star, when a huge gaggle of first-year girls flood the room talking about, oh, how funny Black is or how cute Potter was and it took all I am not to throw up them and there. I might have gagged a little, and Alice just gave me a knowing look and went back to work. It's like she thought I felt the same as all those other girls or something! Yeah, like that would ever happen. I will hate Black and Potter until that day we all die – and then some!
Anyway, enough of those gits. Let's move on to something more exciting. I've been scoring high marks in most of my classes, (Astronomy doesn't matter, like I said, when am I ever going to use it?), but Charms is by far my favorite. I seem to have a knack for Potions too; I'm one of the top students and we have Ravenclaws in our class! Herbology is okay, but the main reason I like it is because Sev is in it with me. Last Wednesday we got partnered up and had a grand time. He accidentally blew up the root and we both couldn't stop laughing. Potter opened his mouth - to make some rude comment, I'm sure – but I shoot him a death glare before he could say anything. He closed his mouth (thankfully, he looked like a gaping fish standing there) but he just smirked at me like he knew something I didn't. He is just so infuriating!
The only class I'm really worried about is flying. I obviously have had no experience with it, and all the pure-bloods have been doing it since they were five years old. Just watch, I'll fall off my broom the minute I get half a centimeter off the ground! Professor Slughorn overhear me griping about it to Alice and he told me not to worry and that this year, the teacher was trying out a new system: she would be pairing the newer and less experienced people (read: me) and the more experienced people together for the year. I heard we'd be sharing a class with either Hufflepuff or Slytherin. Oh, I hope it's Slytherin! That way, Sev and I could learn together, and I wouldn't be such a newbie. I wish we could be partners, but Sev probably has barely more experience than I have.
Anyway, the class is tomorrow, so we'll just have to wait and see. What else, what else...there's nothing really. Other than Black and Potter (herefore known as "The Two Gits"), certain classes (cough cough Astronomy and flying cough cough), and just the general feeling of being such a newbie, I guess life at Hogwarts is pretty good. Sorry for being boring, but just wait for tomorrow; I'll bet I have tons of stories about flying class! Goodnight!
A/N: Please review! The next chapter will be up soon; I'm on spring break so I have a ton of time to work on it. Sorry if this was a little short; I promise the next will be longer. What will happen at flying class, I wonder?
