The strangest thing happened today. I went swimming with Destiny and Castle, my two best friends. They are almost twins, which means that Castle was born February 8 at 11:49 pm, and Destiny was born February 9 at 12:03 am. They're Muggle-borns, but their parents don't want me to tell them that they have magic until they're 10.

Back to swimming, Castle and I were trying to see who could hold their breath the longest, Castle was sure that he would win, when Destiny started screaming. We quickly jumped out of the water and ran to where she was standing. Laying in front of her was the biggest snake I've ever seen. I, being a stupid Gryffindor, ran towards the snake. As I got close there was a pop and it turned into a tall woman with long, crazy, black hair. She was pointing her wand at me and cackling madly. I screamed and ran as fast as I could toward me house, I could hear Destiny and Castle running after me, and the woman still cackling behind us.

"Daddy!" I screamed as I ran into the house. Dad ran out of his study and I crashed into him and started sobbing. After a few seconds he led me Castle and Destiny into his study. When he asked us to we told him everything that had happened. When we finished he called Mum into the study and whispered with her for a few minutes. Mum gave each of us a hug, then went out. Dad looked at us for a few minutes, and then pulled out his wand. Castle asked him what it was, and Dad told him that he would find out in a minute. Dad used obliviate on them. They left thinking that we had finished swimming, and that nothing eventful had happened. Dad explained to me that what we bad seen was a boggart. Apparently a boggart is a magic creature that takes the shape of the thing a person fears the most. Destiny is terrified of snakes, and I fear her, so that's what to boggart turned into. I'm really excited to go to Hogwarts because I'll get to learn about all different magic creatures, but how to defeat them so I won't have to be scared.

Mum told to to go to bed so I'm going to now. Good Night!
